Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich Diary #3

IGN PC continues their Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich diary series, this time with Irrational Games’ Dorian Hart doing the talking. An excerpt:

It’s no exaggeration to say that super-powers are the very heart and soul of Freedom Force. El Diablo bereft of his pyrotechnics might still be an interesting character, but he just wouldn’t be the same without the ability to turn cars and mailboxes into exploding fireballs. The Ant without his acid grenades would be like a day without sunshine. (I was going to say “like heartburn without an Ant-Acid,” but I’d be killed if I said that.)

Rest assured we’ll have some new and interesting powers crackling on the fingertips of our new heroes and villains. But in the development process here at Irrational, we sometimes lack perfect simultaneity. What does that mean? It means that Green Genie’s “Object Lesson” power may be ready for testing, but Green Genie herself isn’t yet ready for prime time. But Minuteman’s been ready for years, so for testing, all the new powers get assigned to him.
