Okay, so four bios! I do like this format, I think I wouldn’t mind seeing it once in a while, like less than once a month, or maybe just less than one per episode where they appear, going forward?

It’s cool to get the full Sentinel Comics Frankenstein story finally. :slight_smile: I do love that they wrote him so that you don’t have to make the distinction between the monster and the man, just throw that naming argument out the window. XD

Bodybuilder: Oh no, she’s hot.

I was surprised to hear Deathfiend here! :smiley: Pleasantly so. And now we’ve got the full story! And Lady Deathfiend! Oh no, she’s hot!

Kakugo however, I’m going to say, I’m less enthusiastic about at first blush, but I’m going to reserve final judgment till I see what others have to say about him. It’s definitely at least partially because he’s got more hard edge, staying an anti-hero like they say later.

So post-Oblivaeon, Wipeout becomes Wipein, got it.

Body Builder very in her nature barrows pieces of the “I Zombie” story

[ghost samurai edgelord] fills some space Darkstrife + Painstake and early Parse leave open. Agree Take that he would not be a character I would follow but absolutely a character that should exist in the setting

Christopher and Adam forgot there is a character with Density Control. Guise-Cat at D6. one of the things where “normal cat” works with the powers, I have known many cats that are were heavier and lighter that you think at different times.

Yeah, Guise-Cat is a great exercise in how flexible the system can be. Aeon Girl also has Density Control at :d8:.

And just for the record, since C&A were struggling to think of any Nuclear-using heroes in real life comics, the ones I had in mind while writing the question were Captain Atom and Firestorm. Curious that the only ones they could think of were Marvel.

also, there are interpretations of Hulk that absolutely have D6 Radiation.
I have seen him absorb energy from a target

do we consider Bongo to be “real comics”?
Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy… as long as we avoid the 70’s version
