ZTGD's PC editor gives a rundown of creating a character in Champions Online and discovers his obsession with spandex:
"Everyone MMO starts the same way, and how this first event turns out can have a real impact on your early impressions of the game. The event I am speaking of is of course, the character creation process. So the question needs to be asked, does Champions Online soar like Super Man? Or sink like Mustard Man?
It's easy to see that a key strength of Champions Online is its character creation. Of course when its coming from the same studio that created the now legendary City of Heroes to say that expectations are high is a bit of an understatement. I am glad to tell everyone that the system does everything that City of Heroes did and more."
