♦ Topic: Midas vs Armsmaster
In: Boards ► Places ► America ► Brockton Bay Discussion
Bagrat (Original Poster) (Veteran Member) (The Guy in the Know)
Posted On Mar 8th 2011:
For the first time in... as long as I can remember, Armsmaster has been completely defeated.
He's lost before, or been forced to pull back against the likes of Lung or Kaiser, but he's never actually been beaten to the point where he hasn't been able to get away since his Ward days, until yesterday.
When he challenged Midas after the battle between Midas's gang and the Merchants in an attempt to arrest Midas before he could finish replacing Skidmark as the ruler of the Boat Graveyard/Trainyard.
And Midas proved that his name wasn't for show as he simply turned Armsmaster's power suit to gold, freezing him in place, before tossing him into the street as a golden statue and going about his day.
A couple of hours later, the PRT showed up and took him away.

With the benefit of hindsight, King Midas having the power to turn things into Gold makes way too much sense.
Still, it's weird that Armsmaster risked taking on a new cape without being more prepared or taking any other Heroes... and two hours for the PRT to show up? They can be slow sometimes, but if this was a official operation they'd have been there immediately.
►Valkyr (Wiki Warrior)
Replied On Mar 8th 2011:
So, Midas is a Thinker/Striker/Possible Stranger?
Making his wiki page is a pain, because nobody seems to know what he can actually do.
And yeah, I'm guessing Armsmaster tried to do this solo, enjoying Midas was just a Thinker/Stranger. It's uncharacteristically reckless of him, but we've seen him do risky things before.
Especially after Dauntless started getting so popular

Armsmaster seemed under some deluded impression that I'd just surrender myself over to the PRT because he waved his big stick around.
As if I'd ever give myself over to those bureaucrat.
The Halberd and Bike will make a fine addition to my trophy room, and serve as a warning to other would-be heroes.
Oh, and since those pictures are such poor quality, allow me to assist you.

I know I shouldn't find it funny, but did you see how quickly Armsmaster went from 'Surrender Now' to 'Please don't kidnap me, it's not worth the trouble.'
►Procto the Unfortunate Tinker (Not a tinker)
Replied On Mar 8th 2011:
That's what happens when a Tinker suddenly doesn't have his Tinkertech
I'm pretty sure Armsmaster has like twenty Halberds, but his armour and bike will be much more difficult to replace.
That said, gold is worth a fortune and if melts and sells his now shiny gold armour he might be able to fund huge replacements.
►Uppercrust (Verified Cape)
Replied On Mar 8th 2011:
Perhaps, but the existence of a cape capable of turning metals, or perhaps just anything, to gold will almost certainly effect the value of gold.
It's value comes from its rarity, if it isn't rare then it isn't valuable.
Hmm, the fact that gold hasn't been dropping in value implies that Midas understands this, and if he is selling gold then he is doing so in very small amounts.
That kind of foresight is certainly impressive
►Reave (Verified PRT Agent)
Replied On Mar 8th 2011:
The metal he turned Armsmaster's armor into isn't actually pure gold, actually we aren't sure what it is, because while it looks like gold it is much, much stronger
Cutting him out of his armor was difficult, dangerous and needed us to use tinkertech to do it without hurting him, so I'd advise people try to avoid getting the same treatment, since we think he can turn any inorganic material into gold... like clothes.
So yeah, not real gold... except the gauntlets, which are made of pure gold for some reason. I guess Midas can just decide what he turns it into.
►Thatdude
Replied On Mar 8th 2011:
Okay, yeah... Midas can turn things to gold, very cool
Are we just fucking ignoring the fact that Armsmaster admitted that the PRT have been leaving Skidmark and the Merchants alone because 'they weren't a threat' and 'all they were doing was making the bad parts of the city worse?'
I live in the 'bad parts of the city', and it's always been obvious the the Protectorate heroes didn't patrol here often, but you're telling me the fuckers have just been leaving us out for dry because they didn't feel like dealing with Skidmark, when they obviously could have?!
I know three guys who OD'd after getting grabbed by Merchants, beaten and drugged up, that's how they liked to get new customers, kick the shit out of them and force them to get addicted to their shit
My fucking mother got grabbed and forced to work as one of their hookers until she OD'd, and I can think of a dozen other girls who got raped by Merchants.
But no, Skidmark and his men weren't a threat right?
The PRT can go fuck themselves, and so can Armsmaster
It took King Midas a week to do what you fucks failed to do for years, oh wait... you didn't fail, you didn't even try
Gotta say I'm wondering if Midas is recruiting new gang members, cause right now I'm thinking I'd look pretty good in black and gold.

Gotta say, the Merchants aren't going to be missed
Maybe Winslow will be slightly less of a shithole now. Oh wait, it's still full of racist skinheads and equally racist Asians.

Posted On Mar 8th 2011:
So, I was doing some shopping along the Boardwalk when I spotted Gallant showing the new cape around (I think her name is Starfire?)
I took some pictures because we've not seen much of Starfire (if you don't count the green trails she leaves around when she's flying, even if they look really cool at night), but as I was about to ask for an autograph Glory Girl showed up and things got... uncomfortable
I recorded it, but they were too far away for audio
[link]
Even still, it was really obvious that things weren't friendly despite GG working with the Wards a lot, and it ended even less so as Glory Girl lost her temper just before she was about to leave, thanks to something Starfire said I think... and punched Gallant so hard he literally flew across the street and got embedded in a wall

►Feychick
Replied On Mar 8th 2011:
Yup
So, Glory Girl cheats on Dean with Gallant, Dean dumps her... and Gallant cheats on her with Starfire?
Or Gallant isn't so gallant and he saw her as a meaningless fling, while Glory Girl thought they had something and now she's pissed because he's moved onto Starfire?
►XxVoid_CowboyxX
Replied On Mar 8th 2011:
Fucking Gallant, are you saying he's managed to bang Glory Girl and Starfire?
I'm not sure what I'm more jealous over, Glory Girl is one the hottest capes in Brockton but Starfire might just be even hotter.
Every guy wants to bang an alien
So, does that mean Glory Girl is single again?
Also, do you think whoever is posting her pics is going to post the next set soon?
►Nondeceptive
Replied On Mar 8th 2011:
Starfire is definitely hotter, more powerful as well if you believe the stories of how strong her blaster power is
She's like the alien love child of Purity and Glory Girl

My starbolts are very hot, yes
I'm quite sure I'm not Purity or Glory Girls daughter, I don't think it even works like that

I've been a follower of PHO for a long time, it's an excellent source of entertainment, news and intel, and while I've seen heroes do these before I've never actually seen a Villain do an ask me anything.
I've always seen myself as a pioneer, and with my recent victory over the Merchants I believe it's time for me to open up a bit and let people know a little more about the man who just claimed a considerable chunk of the city.
So, as the title says... I'm a Supervillain/Gang Leader, Ask Me Anything.

In truth I haven't actually named my organisation yet, I considered the Golden Kingdom, the Golden Horde, a lot of Golden names to be perfectly honest, but nothing has really clicked with me yet.
I stored Armsmaster's bikes and Halberd in my trophy room, I considered having Squealer work on the bike but it has quite the advanced security system on it abs while watching it repeatedly shock my minions was rather entertaining I decided to just make a display to celebrate my victory over Armsmaster.
[picture of my trophy room] [video of my particular stubborn minions getting shocked trying to ride the bike]
Brockton Bay is a dying city, that's a simple truth and while there are plenty of cities in similar situations I decided this place deserved my Golden Touch more than any other. Besides, Boston has Accord, it doesn't need me.

The main reason I am a villain is simple, I'm a sinful man. I'm greedy, selfish and too proud to take orders. I plan to save this city, but I'll do it my way and I'll be sure to benefit from it.
Also, the PRT have been... ineffective. I understand their desire to maintain the status quo, but the status quo is a slow and painful death for Brockton Bay, this city is being strangled and I intend to let it breathe again.
I intend to fix the Trainyard and Boat Graveyard. I am going to bring wealth, order and reason to the lands the Merchants have left in ruin.
Many of you have already seen my men cleaning the streets, relating the worn down buildings, repainting over the gang signs. I will not stand for my territory looking like a dump, and I suggest you all keep that in mind the next time you decide that you can't carry an empty can ten metres to a trash can.
I have also ordered my men to maintain law and order in my territory, my law. This land is under my protection, and If you commit crimes in my territory, you will be punished.
It's a simple set of rules, nothing complicated or difficult to remember.
Steal, and we will break your hands. Assault my civilians, and we'll break a lot more. Rape women under my protection and we'll remove your manhood. Kill, and we'll kill you.
I will make this place safe and secure, even if I have to drag you all to a Golden age kicking and screaming.
You should all keep an eye on my territory, big changes are coming soon.
BlearyEight
Well, I did say ask me anything...
I like pineapple, I like pizza. If you put a slice of pizza with pineapple on it in front of me, I'll shoot you.
I likely do have parental issues due to their rather brutal murders, yes.
My favourite song is the Moonlight Sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven, but I'm also fond of Whenever, Wherever by Shakira.
My favourite movie is the Phantom of the Opera, or maybe Mulan
Pop☆Step
I have no issues with you living in my territory, as long as you don't interfere in my operations.
I have no objections to giving interviews, but I am rather busy at the moment.
I've told Rabbit to not steal from your group again, as long as you don't bother us, and perhaps we can come to some kind of agreement over the things she has stolen as Rabbit doesn't actually care about any of it, she just thinks Leets crying is funny.

I've had my powers for a long time, as I triggered during the Slaughterhouse Nine's... visit to my hometown, but I have been working in the background for years, gathering resources and followers while I prepared for my rise.
I am rather wealthy, but in truth I spend my money as fast as I get it, fixing a city is expensive work.
I collect trophies from my victories, to remind me of my successes and encourage myself to keep walking the path I have chosen.
My first crime? I cheated on my school tests, breaking into the school and copying the answer sheets the night before. As for my most embarrassing crime, I once stole forty cakes from a bakery after the owner slighted me.
I then ate every single one of them over the course of a week, collapsing into a food coma most nights.
Feychick
My relationship with White Rabbit can best be described as business with a side of pleasure, shes my Henchwoman and a valued cape in my organisation, and as a nymphomaniac she has certain needs that she sought me to help with.
I see myself as single, despite several dalliances with various women. Perhaps I am building a harem, I am King after all.
Squealer is my prisoner and a cape I hope to recruit.
As for my favourite hero and villain? Well, if I had to choose a Hero I think I'd pick Vista, people forget just how experienced and talented she is due to her young age but she's one of the more sincere heroes Brockton has.
My favourite villain is much simpler, it's me.

Also yes, yes they are.
Tin Mother
I have considered the pros and cons of allying with each group in Brockton Bay, but in the end I believe I will walk this path alone, well... not alone, that's why I'm building my own faction.
I've been an active villain for... well, close to a decade. I turned to crime alone immediately after triggering due to the loss of my hometown leaving me in rather dire straits, but I've always been very, very subtle.
I'm a hard person to anger, even with Skidmark it was just business, but if there is one thing that makes me truly angry it'd be betrayal.
I am happy to leave the PRT alone, as long as they stay out of my territory. They aren't needed here, they had their chance to help this place, and they failed. It's my turn now.
I do respect the Unwritten rules, but in this case I don't blame Poison Ivy for her decision to master Hookwolf. The Empire attempted to strong arm get into their faction, sending one of their most violent capes to force her into submission.
Can you blame her for using her powers to prevent such a fate? I certainly do not.
Masters have to use the gifts fate gives them
winged_one
I exist because I was born, I hope I have changed a great deal, and I believe I can stop anyone if given enough time and information.

My main power is a Striker power that allows me to turn anything inorganic I am touching into gold, I have learnt to change things into two materials so far, pure gold and a golden alloy. Perhaps one day I will learn to change things into other materials, I've been considering how I could turn liquid into molten gold lately.
My Thinker powers are a secret, as are my Stranger powers, I have to be cautious after all.
Do I have more powers? Well, that's for people to find out.

My childhood was fairly ordinary I'm afraid, I was a talented child who was often overshadowed by my brother, now I'm the one leaving a shadow he must live in.
I have worked a few odd jobs, and an office job, but I am a very prideful person and I don't take orders very well. They never lasted.
Something I'll never do again? Hmm, I'll go with hard drugs, I was a wild youth but I hate how they cloud my mind. I suppose alcohol does the same but I do love a good drink.

It's fairly well known where one of my bases is now, if you send gifts to the warehouse, my minions will ensure they reach me.
For now, my goal is to secure my position and improve the territory I have claimed, but I have no delusions about how the Empire and ABB will respond to a new power, so it's quite possible I will be forced to drive them out of the city.
If I do so, I'll certainly accept your offer. The camera certainly loves you.

People put the actions of the Brockton Bay Brigade on a pedestal, despite the shady methods they used, but the while many people have debated the methods they used to take him down, people often ignore the fact that Brockton Bay ended up in a worse situation with the removal of Marquis
The city needed him, far more than it needs New Wave, and with him Birdcaged then it falls to someone else to step up and take his place.
Nobody else seems willing or able, so I decided that somebody should be me.
