"Menton took a new, younger, stronger body with powerful latent psychic abilities after breaking away from Doctor Destroyer’s organization."

So the most beautiful and physically perfect Spaniard the world has ever know has mind jumped into the body of a scrawny black kid with a mutated brain/skull?

Or is that supposed to be his real body and the buff, blond dude was just the shell?

Or maybe both are easily discarded shells and none will ever know the true face of Menton!

I have to say, I am really not liking the concept art on this one. So far the "named" character art has underwhelmed me in general.

[Vondy]

Lame.

Hate it.

[yamamura]

Obviously they are taking the characters in new direction then what we have known in the past. While I don't like the character art design, the whole thing reminds me of the end of Scanners. Who is to say that is Menton's final resting place.

I'm getting a kind of Hollywood vibe off of the casting.

"Let's see... I realize the script calls for an african american woman, but maybe we could cast Arnold, or Tom Cruise instead."

I find this Menton somewhat reminiscent of

the Lobe

.

Ugh. That's a terrible look for Menton, and leaves me a little concerned about the future direction of the IP.

Which is a shame, because everything before now had been so positive.

Yeah, the one thing I liked about CU Menton was that he DIDN'T look like very other stereotypical emaciated psyker.

*Le Sigh*

Very disappointing, but I'm going to try and stay positive. So far however, 1 for 3 on character design for me personally.

I Think some one really wanted to do the Leader... or Psimon.

Pulsating Brains are so.. sixties.

[incrdbil]

I say this, not as a HERO fan, or someone dedicated to keeping Menton as he is, but just an evaluation of the look, the image the character gives.

It's horrible. It's like Evil Ukrel from Family Matters. Put some suspenders on him and hair..dead ringer.

I can't take this villain seriously. In any scene featuring him, I'll imagine him unleashing devatstating telekenetic blasts..then issuing that grating Urkel catchphrase "Did I Do That?"

Swing and a miss.

At least put the brain in a plexiglass case.

Thank you for making me laugh like an idiot. Repped.

I totally understand. Also incrdbil, I agree. While I can see a psi that can transfer his mind, not staying in a body that is growing old, I agree he could have been a little more selective.
