Concept Feedback

So if I do decide to pursue this character, do you think it would be best for all of his attack powers to come from the hammer or should the suit itself have the ability to make the energy blast?

I'm just curious to see how other people's minds wrap around the same conept in different ways.

When I made my version, (the A-TES) I have alternate weapons, most of them ranged. I would recommend having a ranged weapon, or at least a power to grab flying enemies.

I have a problem with the idea of calling a sidekick to THOR, ODIN. Odin was Thor's father (via the norse mythos) so it doesn't make much sense for it to be a sidekick. The Valkyrie thing is even worse since Valkyries were Odin's daughters. I don't know, maybe it's just my inner geek/norse fanboi gettin the best of me there.

Well, remember, someone bought via the Sidekick feat isn't necessarily a "subservient lesser," it's just someone you can consistently count on. And for some inventor making a THOR-ish armor, naming the wise, advice-giving supercomputer ODIN makes some sense.

Besides, being able to invent and build a supercomputer, a powersuit and a techno-hammer doesn't necessarily mean also having a good grasp on Norse mythology.

Nothing's more dangerous than some deeply ingrained pseudo-knowledge.

I actually wasn't planning on including any real norse mythology in the character. The names are symply anacronyms that fit together well, or so I think. The hammer just kinda got thrown in there because, come on, it's Thor!

So just so I'm clear. This Valkyrie character only exists in the Paragons setting? It's not a Freedom City character?

Exactly, the powersuit Valkyrie is a Paragons character.

We do have our own Valkyrie here, but her ties to Norse mythology are minimal at best. (And also very far from being a technology-based hero; quite the opposite, in fact.) Still, it might make for some interesting interaction.

The FC universe also has the Golden Age Valkyrie - a Nazi superwoman of mystic origins.

So, the coast is clear. :)

If I did want to borrow a bit from Marvel's Thor and make it so that the hammer could only be picked up by someone wearing the armor, how could I simulate that? I could use alot of gravity control that only works on the hammer itself, that wasy if someone were storng enough it could be possible. I know there have been instances of things like the Hulk and Wonder Woman picking up the hammer and using it themselves.

Make it a natural strike ability. Only people who can Mimic can do that, or Power control.

But it's not a natural ability at all. It's the hammer itself. Not meaning to nit pick, I'm just trying to figure out how to make the concept work the way it does in my head.

Even Cap did so once, so it wasn't just a matter of purely superhuman strength.

In T.H.O.R.'s case I'd simply use 3 ranks of the Power feat "Restricted" and change the "you" to "the armour wearer". In case you don't have UP, here's the relevant excerpt:

"With three ranks of Restricted, only a limited group can even lift your Device (which may require extraordinary strength or some other quality) and only you can properly use it."

I'll have to get UP I guess. Where can I find it?
