Is there a new-ish City of Heroes type game or something?  If so maybe it's that (I have no idea :P).

Edit:  Talking about the first one.

Oh. So is it like Wow but with super heroes? That might be pretty awesome.

Never played them, but they seem to be popular. 

Edit:  There are (at least) two:  City of Heroes and City of Villains.  I don't know if they're linked together or not, er...server wise, but I assume they are.

Oh maybe the second one is making fun of that new movie Avatar?  Some of those alien dudes have long hair and they like...make the body of some controllable by humans.  They're blue though.

Eh.  Maybe kind of a reach.

It's like WoW except there are more, weaker mobs and you only get a new ability every 2-3 levels(and frequently they're passive buffs, combat is mostly about rotating 3-4 attacks.) The travel powers are awesome though.

Well, since it's the only explanation I've gotten I will just assume you are right. :)
