Who do you think you are? Seeker?

[assault]

This is a short version of a long train of thought I have been following.

OK, well, in the official CU, Seeker is a well-known, mythical character in popular culture.

So, if you are going to tag an Australian martial artist with a nickname, what is it going to be?

Why, Seeker, of course!

It's only a matter of time until another Seeker appears...

Thoughts?

Pardon my ignorance, but where in print about the official CU does it mention Seeker? :confused:

Nah... see, Seeker is trademarked, and rumor has it, the writer of his comic book , Steve Short, was a lawyer or something... ;)

[TheEmerged]

Hold on, let me dig up the specific reference...

Nuts, the books are at home. It's in Millenium City, not Champions Universe.

agreed...it is only a matter of time until another 'seeker' appears. whether he is of australian flavor remains to be seen. I doubt it personally but then I am just stabbing blindly into the dark...

Well, you're probably right about an "official" Seeker, alas.

What I was suggesting was more or less that "Seeker" would become a generic nickname for martial artists, particularly wannabes, especially if they came from Australia. It would be a semi-generic term, with at least a dose of insult.

Yes, of course, Steve Short and his lawyers might have something to say about it, but how are they going to sue a masked adventurer? :)

In fact, it's quite possible that several "Seekers" might exist. Eventually the most prominent would end up with the name.

I could see my more recent versions of Assault using the name if they (he) visited the US, because he probably wouldn't be operating publically.

In other words, have fun!

"seeker" will more than likely become a general name for the martial artist of the moment....kinda like Defender is for the powered armor group... speaking of which, I always thought Team;Defender was the best incarnation...probably in the minority here but so be it,,, heh

Perfect!

Steve Short, et. al., holders of the IP 'Seeker' hold some sort of contest... entrants must be martial artists (one marital artist applies and is soundly thrashed (hi, Steve! :D )) and the winner is 'SEEKER'! :cool:

If you had a group of them and something terrible happened, perhaps their sensei/sifu could bring together another collection of martial artists called "The New Seekers". Altogether, "I'd like to teach the world to sing..." ;)

I like to run my games in the Champions/MC comics 'verse ... that way I get Seeker over Duck...err ...Nighthawk ;)

It's in Millenium City, not Champions Universe.

Millennium City, page 39. He is not mentioned by name, but referred to as an "Australian ninja" with a "hackneyed origin."

Gardner Fox said it, so it must be true--all comic-book characters are real persons who exist in alternate universes. Comic-book writers/artists tap into these universes subconsciously, and transcribe the adventures of their heroes believing them to be the products of their own imagination.

But we know better. :D

Seeker is a comic-book character. Therefore--Seeker is real. And it's only a matter of time before the crossover.

(Checks watch--taps foot)

Yep--any time now. . .

With a comic cover that says somehting akin to "In this issue Seeker dies" or something to that effect anyways...
