This is my Polaris mod. It contains the following:


Sound Changes:
*I've made a voicepack featuring Grey Delisle's lines and grunts as Polaris from Marvel Super War.
*I made menu breaks
*For power sounds, I used Magneto's power sounds from Marvel Heroes.


Power Changes:
*I've used Magneto's skeleton.
-I hex edited it to change the menu animations.
*I completely replaced everything about Matt710's mod and created a completely new set of powers, boosts, Xtremes, and passives.


Visual Changes:
*Includes a much improved version of her unused XML2 conversation hud I made by AI Upscaling both the XML2 version and the different and better quality MUA1 Prototype versions, which I merged together, and manually touched it up.
-All skins use this hud.
*Made a character select portrait and loading screen using art by Mico Sauyan from the Marvel War of Heroes mobile card battle game.
*Made a second bonus loading screen featuring art by Mico Sauyan from the Marvel War of Heroes mobile card battle game.
*Made 2 bonus loading screens featuring art by Peter Nguyen.
*Made bonus character select portraits and conversation huds based on the Mico Sauyan loading screens.
*Her flying effect is now a recolored and modified version of Magneto's MUA1 DLC flying effect.
*Her unique knockback now uses a recolored version of Magneto's XML2 unique knockback effect.
*Levitation uses a recolored version of Magneto's XML2 Levitation effects.
*Iron Toxicity now uses recolored versions of unused effects from Magneto's unused Beam power from the XML1 Prototype.
*Removed hiteffects from radials, because having hiteffects on radial powers can cause issues and they don't work properly anyway (they appear on objects they can't affect, like parts of the map that can't be destroyed and such.)
*For Metallic Hammer, I've created a new charge effect, recolored Magneto's XML2 Magnetic Shell shatter effect, recolored Magneto's XML2 Metal Spike trail effect, and recolored and modified Magneto's MUA1 DLC Magnetic Pulse impact effect.
*Gravity Well uses recolored versions of Iron Man's Tractor Beam charge and power effects.
*Magnetic Forcefield uses a new charge effect I've created and a recolored and modified version of Magneto's MUA1 DLC Magnetic Shield aura effect.
*Metal Morphing and Magnetic Tempest use new effects I've created.
*Polarity Pull uses a recolored version of one of Magneto's unused XML2 effects and a recolored and modified version of one of  Magneto's MUA1 DLC Magnetic Explosion power effects.
*Negative Emotion Absorption uses a recolored and modified version of Magneto's MUA1 DLC Dark Energy Aura effect.


Misc:
*I've made packages for all 9 default skin slots that allow her icons can appear in higher quality in the character select menu and so that each skin can have a unique hud and 3D head (right now they all have unique 3D heads but all have the same hud, but the option is open to you).
-These are also the X-Men Legends II Ulimate Patch-style streamlined packages.
-I've also added the textures to her package files that won't be in the permanent file in the X-Men Legends II Ultimate Patch.

-Minor coding fixes to herostat.

-She has the new X-Men Legends II Ultimate Patch-style streamlined packages.
-I've also added the textures to her package files that won't be in the permanent file in the X-Men Legends II Ultimate Patch.

Levitation = Special = Lifts and throws objects and enemies around. Can build bridges.

Gravity Well = Trap = Traps an enemy in a Magnetic gravity well which damages and stuns them and pulls in and damages any nearby enemies.

Boosts:
Magnetic Forcefield = Polaris creates a forcefield around the entire party, increasing everyone's Defense and giving a chance to reflect all beams and projectiles for a time.
