Re: A World Less Magical But No Less Fantastic

Daniel Moriarty was "recruited" by the same covert black ops division that attempted to "recruit" Miriam Herschlag, after a genetic test administered following his arrest for hooliganism indicated that he was a likely candidate for a super-soldier process they'd stolen from Japa...

Re: A World Less Magical But No Less Fantastic

Was Captain Robert Hazard part of that U.S. Army rifle platoon under the command of Lieutenant Joseph Dore that fought the Nazi mad science black ops in WW2?

Re: A World Less Magical But No Less Fantastic

He's basically an older and more cynical Obadiah Archer combined with One-Punch Man, right?

Re: A World Less Magical But No Less Fantastic

"You should kill the brat," said one of the senior members of the organization. "You can always make another." It was an eye-opening meeting, in many ways. For the first time, Edvard realized that his fellows could be divided into two categories -- those who were motivated entir...

Re: A World Less Magical But No Less Fantastic

The most recent discovery of the Fungal Cavern came in the late 1970s, when a pair of plumbers from Brooklyn encountered some strange creatures coming out of the pipes in one of their job sites. Their investigation took them into the sewers, and from there into the caves that lead to the hidden kin...

Re: A World Less Magical But No Less Fantastic

One of the problems of these character sheets is that they are necessarily incomplete, since I can't always predict what information is going to be necessary. In the case of Hadron, he has actually done major damage to Billie's organization in the past, but she keeps rebuilding. And, in a way, just...

Re: A World Less Magical But No Less Fantastic

On a related note borrowed from the equivalent thread from RPG.net (which sadly will never catch up with the one here), here's Davies' list of US presidents for A World Less Magical. Presidents of the United States of America Since 1968 Richard Nixon; Richard Nixon; Gerald Ford; Jimmy Carter (assass...

Re: A World Less Magical But No Less Fantastic

Hadron is interesting. At first I was going to suggest it odd he hadn't discovered or at least pursued the means to extend his lifespan, but then I think I got the concept: for all his genius intelligence and vast power, Hadron isn't terribly interested in the world around him. He clearly seems to ...

Some panels from Prophet #39 that add some major depth to the character.

Makes sense.

Any relationship at all to Morgan's machinations and the minor aristocratic households of covert superhumans he created?

Re: A World Less Magical But No Less Fantastic

Regardless, he first became notorious as the official 'mad scientist' for the Yugoslav Partisans, and a close adviser to Josip Broz Tito. Okay, both fascinated and unsettled by the implication of that. What with you saying that was essentially a regular occurrence even before the first era of super...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Deathblow! ShadowHawk! Youngblood! Shaft!)

Let me show off some footage from a aborted Youngblood cartoon that was meant to be released in the mid-90s. Apparently it was scrapped because one of the reasons was because Liefied objected to the material being toned-down for younger audiences. (Which isn't necessarily a bad thing I might add) ht...
