Re: Son/Daughter of the Destroyer
Actually, one of my friends had a character, Titan who claimed to be the scion of Dr. Destroyer. Titan's first armor looked like the spikey one by Pat Zircher from the boxed set Island of Dr. Destroyer adventure.
Destroyer denied it, though Titan's armor was powerful and Titan seemed to Destroyer's technological understudy if not equal. But Dr. Destroyer would have none of it. He had no son.
This is where it got complicated. Titan was Dr. Destroyer's daughter. One of his mistresses gave birth to a girl, Destroyer essentially abandoned the child after determining that she was genetically unsuitable. (and the wrong gender). So she grew up unaware of her parentage. However, her mother escaped during the Island fiasco and once she saw that Destroyer was eliminating anyone associated with the failure she made the wise decision to fake her own death.
She found their daughter and told her of her lineage and the budding genius became determined to stop him.
Titan fought her biological father on several occasions and he never once suspected her identity, as he was blinded by his arrogance and sexism. In our game Destroyer died of old age, deciding to take out as many of us with him as he could when he went.
Titan was at the forefront of the defense and despite taking a savage beating (as Destroyer called out the pretender and used him as an example), was there for the end. The last thing Dr Destroyer saw as he passed on was the face of his daughter. He laughed.
Titan then remade her armor into a more personal, feminine image and remained a stalwart hero until her retirement. (Presumably, the campaign came to a close shortly after the death of Zerstoiten)
