The Tanker
Official Scoop: The Tanker is an irresistible force combined with an immovable object. This archetype can take and dish out all sorts of damage. The Tanker is not totally invulnerable, but his skills allow the other archetypes to play their parts, too. The Tanker is a devastating hand-to-hand combatant, and ranks second only to the Scrapper in sheer melee power. He possesses some ranged abilities, though far below those of the Blaster or the Defender. Tankers proudly stand in the frontlines of battle in order to protect their comrades and, of course, the innocent.

Our Take: For some variety, Fargo let his significant other, Glitter Girl, sit down with the hero creator and this is what she came up with. "Fyre Storm" is a hottie in all respects, given that she can ignite someone into a fireball just by touching them. Note that you can adjust even minor details, like the color of the face makeup. She shaded her tiara to match the wristbands -- there's a definite Wonder Woman influence here. Two colors can be combined to create the hair, so you can do black with red highlights or create a neat blend like she did. In combat, Fyre Storm bursts into flames doing continuous damage to everyone around her, although the power set she chose makes her more of an attack-oriented character than the immovable wall that tankers normally are. She's absolutely devastating in the middle of a horde of low-level minions.
