The genius of City of Heroes lies in its character creation process. Imagine a way to fulfill all those comic book-induced fantasies while simultaneously indulging (in a very manly sort of way) those repressed desires to play dress up. Cryptic Studios offers a level of customization that allows players to make any kind of hero they can imagine (except overweight or nerdy heroes, since despite any horrid costuming they still persist in having chiseled abs and other hero-ish qualities).
