Polaris Mod

[Wraith]

Can Stryfe not be used or like a gladiator avalanche? Because she doesn't look feminine but i get what you mean with rhino being too masculine. But that would be the best skin by far if we could pull it off!

I love the "original" skin, it's a shame I don't have XML2 on PC.

Anyway, I don't think the Pestilence skin would fit well with Polaris. Yes, they're both Lorna Dane, but they both have completely different powers. Lorna no-longer has her disease manipulation powers. For some of the Horsemen, their costumes make sense, such as Archangel. The most recent incarnations of the Horsemen (Polaris, Sunfire, Gazer and Gambit) had completely different powers.

It just wouldn't make sense to see Pestilence flying around using magnetic powers.

Thanks, but if you have MUA for PC it will work as well.  I mostly work with PS2 skins, which will work in MUA with no problem as well.  So any of the skins from my mod updates will work on XML2 and MUA.

Oooh! I didn't know that. It opens so many more possibilities...

Sunfire had the same exact powers as a Horseman

not exactly "he could now use them to create flashes of light that affected the sections of the human brain which control hunger, causing any people who saw his light flashes to feel as if they were starving"

[Dihan]

He lost his powers as a result of M-Day so Apocalypse gave him the ability to make others believe they're starving (just as he gave Polaris the plague ingestion thing). That doesn't particularly sound a lot like the plasma blasts he uses. Also, Rogue stole Sunfire's powers and personality just as she did with Ms Marvel.

Granted, the whole Marvel universe is one giant retcon. Sunfire, Gambit and Polaris are all back to normal with their original powers.

Actually Sunfire lost his powers as a result of Rogue perma-absorbing them. They were gone before M Day. The starving stuff was something extra but he STILL was given the heat/flame/flight powers, he originally had before Rogue took them. Ditto with Lorna having her magnetic powers/flight in addition to the plague stuff thanks to Apocalypse.

Wow looks like ive started a debate lol i agree with the sunfire thing, he seemed to have just been enhanced and i know gambit had that poison gas thing and polaris the disease but Polaris is still depowered, she was given artificial magnetic powers by apocalypse. Gambit probably just used the poison gas as a preference because he was the horseman of death, when sinister hired him he stuck with his original powers. Thats my comprehension anyway. So it wouldn't be out of the ordinary, maybe the skin could just add a poison type move?

Note I added a fix to fighstyle_frost and havok's 1901 ps2 skin to this.  One is because she uses fightstyle_frost and the other out of lazyness.

[dark_raven]

The menu portraits and HUDs are PS2 too?

[matt710]

no, those are not ps2.  I should have been more specific. I am only working with PS2 skin igbs, anything else would be XML2 igbs.

[matt710]

Here is the new version of Polaris that uses her own fightstyle.  If you don't use Emma Frost in your party, you won't even need this, but for those of you that use both, I'd suggest you download this.  I'd even recomend that those who don't have Emma download this just in case they want to use her in the future.  It also fixes attack_knockback

Emma works perfect now but Polaris wont work at all it crashes on dangeroom, new game, loaded game. Please help i install it three times already.
