My favorite unstoppable is The Silver Shroud! Kent quest was fun to wearing the armor to be a badass! The only flaw of the quest is that there is a time limit to save Kent from Raiders. I wish Bethesda added a time limit with a clock on it so you'll know if you can save Kent just in time. Another flaw of the quest is the building it's in.

[@N_orte]

That quest is one of my favourites! Just being able to RP as the Silver Shroud makes it great!

[@evanbrown4083]

I saved Kent with the power of killing the bad guys fast with gun

I play my entire game as the silver shroud, i have a "silver cave" in the vault 88 inspired by the batcave lol

[@arcadeassassin7176]

​@@starsmember6212 I never did any batman stuff as the silver shroud. I instead based my roleplay off of Spiderman Noir and The Shadow.

[@Voltaic_Fire]

I love the Mistress of Mystery after her quest line in F76, it's about the only redeeming thing in the game. It really sucks that there's no MoM themed mods for Fallout 4. I'd make one but it would require skills beyond my bailiwick.

[@N_orte]

The Mistress of Mystery quest in 76 was great. Definitely a top side quest in that game.

[@theguybehindyou4762]

Pretty sure you can chem bench the MoM costume into FO4 via an Unstoppables mod.

[@filthycasual8187]

[@emperortrevornorton3119]

We need it and I would also buy some of the board games

[@mcparker8408]

I won't lie, my favorite playthrough of Fallout 4 I've ever done is roleplaying Silver Shroud and picking up McCready and dressing him up as Grognak as we team up together to bring JUSTICE to the Commonwealth

[@blackmesacake5361]

Grognak holds a special place in my heart

[@PewTheToaster]

I think this would actually be really cool to be made irl( not to mention make Bethesda a little money) as a lot of people really like comics as a media and they have potential for a really nice series.

[@flashstudiosguy]

Fun fact, Silver Shroud was based entirely off a real world fictional character called the Shadow. The characters are essentially the same, except Shadow never uses a gun.

[@johnperry5550]

Not sure who you’re thinking of, but the shadow used a Tommy gun

[@flashstudiosguy]

@@johnperry5550 Not in the radio show

[@vonfaustien3957]

[@tefnutofhoney2832]

One thing that should also be remembered for the cover-only characters. Comics often have covers that dont fully relate to the actual story

[@indicatexxxx2656]

If Grognak was an actual person in the fallout universe and dealt with mutated creatures before the bombs but became a legend I would believe it I wouldn't mind a spin off game based off him

[@maturin1919]

You mean like Grognak and the Ruby Ruins?

[@mysticumlavandula9676]

This is VERY cool content to make. I enjoyed this tremendously! Didn’t realize how much I missed out on with the Inspector!

[@ryandawes1136]

When doing a grognak playthrough, I would suggest eating "yao guai roast" as opposed to the typical melee chems and alcohol, it's far more immersive..

[@funki4896]

If I recall that correctly, Maula the Martian Maiden is not a villian because she is avaible to join your party in Grognac and the Ruby Ruins.

[@gagaplex]

It's interesting that both Mechanists we encounter think of themselves as heroic characters, despite the comic having him as a villain. Just based on FO3, I had assumed the Mechanist was a hero, too.

[@kartoone4120]

I think the 'snallygaster-type beast' is actually supposed to be a winged serpent from Aztec style belief. I don't think they could breathe fire though....

[@ccasuall]

Quetzalcóatl.

[@Bothrops_Asper_89]

There was one, Xiuhcoatl the fire serpent.

[@XArctracerX]

I’m still amazed Bethesda has yet to sell actual unstoppable comics in real life or even let us read them in game

[@zacharymccants77]

This was something that really annoyed me in Fallout 4. They went through the trouble of making all of those covers, but we couldn’t actually read any stories. We can read books in Skyrim, but we can’t read the comics in Fallout. I understand it would be a little extra work to depict and write them…but just do it, lol. And Bethesda could make a killing if they released real life editions of these comics.

[@brotherhoodofsteel4751]

The silver shroud class is my favorite in Fallout 4 I wish we could add more dialogue options while wearing the costume. Also if you like magical detectives look up Dresden files

[@thephilosophyroom5587]

Jim Butcher is a fantastic offer, I love the Dresden books

[@nazeem2328]

The Silver shroud legitimately should to be a comic book it's a good idea

[@fredblues7175]

Looks like new character ideas, Drake Tungsten and Grognorok sound very interesting, and the inspector sounds like someone to play with nick.

[@fredricknoe3114]

I would love to have a Manta Man themed spin off, or any other underwater RPG.

[@mikoto7693]

One of my biggest disappointments of Fallout 4 was the cut quest. I can’t remember if it was Ten or Twenty Leagues Under the Sea in name but it would have apparently featured an underwater Vault and those mutant dolphins as live enemies instead of just being beached corpses. There were indications of a harpoon gun before the Far Harbour version. In the game itself there are a few faint hints left over. The buoy never the Yangtze submarine was meant to be the fast travel marker from the quest. It seems like Nahant Oceanography building might have played a role too. There’s a mysterious system of pipes and structures crossing the sea floor that serves no purpose in FO4 as it is today. Indeed I speculate that at one point the underwater sections of the Commonwealth were once going to be important. Combine everything I just typed with how much of the map is underwater and the level of detail on the ocean floor. All of that had to be mapped and placed by the Devs and given that most players won’t even see most of it the effort seems like such a waste. That time and effort could have been better used elsewhere. The underwater sections of FO3 were very simple by comparison. Too bad. The idea of fighting mutant dolphins and maybe a few other aquatic enemies like mirelurks or Anglers-perhaps even ghoul whales with blades and harpoon guns would have been awesome.

[@jacktg1137]

Yo Norte, I love the video but you probably should’ve mentioned some of the PA skins from fallout 76 which tied into the villains/heroes from this, the 76 lite ally Xerxo who was the actor who played Captain Cosmos before he became a ghoul/went insane, how the mistress of mystery actress started a mistress of mystery crime fighting organization in Appalachia post war, the 76 lite Allies that are either obsessed with or impersonate the hubris comic characters, and the radio plays Bethesda has produced for some of the 76 seasons which are canon in the fallout universe. If you ever need footage/screenshots of them I’ll definitely be willing to take them for you, just lmk

[@jacktg1137]

Oh also another thing you should’ve mentioned were the various alternate weapons the unstoppables have which are shown through skins through the atomic shop. Their status in canon is unclear, with some definitely being canon while others are unconfirmed. Basically Grognak also has a Battle Mace (which is a super sledge paint) and a Guitar (which is a skin for the Grognak Axe). The Guitar is most likely to be canon as Bethesda made a brief ad for the Guitar during that season. There is also a Silver Shroud Skin for the Tesla Rifle and a skin for The Fixer called the Judgement of Set which is either Mistress or Inspector themed (it’s color scheme matches the Inspector the most). Also the Unstoppables may have all had sidekicks as 76 has sidekick outfits for all of them but I’ll double check some of their old season advertisements to see what they say about them

[@haroldcarfrey4206]

Love the Mistress of Mystery and the Silver Shroud. Would love more information on the Inspector, but did not learn anything in game

[@Ryan.2]

Man, it would be cool if Bethesda actually went and made a few irl comics of these characters. I'm not talking about investing a bunch of money to make all them or their own series for each character, but at least make comics for three of them.

[@YourOwnDamnVault31]

Dr. Strange predicted the outcome how Thanos will be defeated in the Multiverse. So it's possible the Unstoppables defeated Thanos. Lmao

[@mikoto7693]

Likewise. And I enjoyed most of the Mistress of Mystery faction and quests in FO76 except for the end of the group and that it was made during the time of no npcs. I keep wondering how good the game could have been if all the original factions had NPCs and were a part of the game from the start.

I wonder if the classic DC superheroes existed in the Fallout timeline? Superman, Batman, Wonder woman. They all started publication in the 30s and 40s, before the time the Fallout world diverged from ours.

I assume Silver Should is little bit based off of Batman

[@Kelis98]

Wasn’t there also one in NV?, LA Fantoma or something?

[@tunnelsnakesrule7541]

I honestly think Manta Man deserves some love and who knows maybe future seasons of 76 will focus on the heroes individually rather than as a group and with the volumes included in every season so far we might get a good idea of their powers and enemies.

[@ImmortalAbsol]

Silver Shroud interaction in Nuka-World means they likely at least had a crossover story.

it is so cool that they literally made a comic story inside fallout

[@gagaplex]

Just visually, the The Silver Shroud reminds me so much of The Shadow. The only thing missing are the supernatural elements, but otherwise he's like a direct copy.

[@TheRealAdaWong]

I always thought it would be cool if they actually created a superhero for a larger side quest about the length of Cabot House. Maybe you find another cryogenic vault, or a satellite crashes down from orbit. Where you discover a superhero who’s been encapsulated since before the war. The story could be about uncovering their pre-war origins where they secretly fought for the US, or jogging them up to speed and helping them re-establish their old HQ post-war. Regardless, Fallout 4 and 76 had a substantial amount of proof to show that superheroes do exist to an extent with the likes of vigilantes inspired by Madam of Mystery, Silver Shroud, and the Mechanist.
