Black Ops Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Re: German Superhero Resources Another Knight I always liked : Wolfdietrich a time displaced Knight a la Shinning Knight ( No better not. He is too saucy a charater I think.)/ a Weaponsmaster http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfdietrich And more of a Antihero: Stoertebecker/ a vengeful Ghost http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoertebeker another Sailor, this one deffinitley more on the heroic side: Felix von Luckner/ Submarine like Nemo/ general aquatic Hero ? ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_von_Luckner (actually he might be better for Pulp) Since we are at Pulp but he might work as a great white Hunter/ Manhunter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Harrer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
