That's a good look. If you decide to use Commandant Savage, his uniform would be like that, but black with the emblem in gold.

Perhaps you could go into detail about the agent corps--their numbers, their weapons and equipment, their motivations, and so forth. I had this guy in mind for the leader of the corps-- COMMANDANT SAVAGE As a boy growing up in Mexico Sergio Garcia dreamed of being a soldier, a leader of men, fighting glorious battles and winning great victories. He joined the Mexican Army as soon as he was old enough, but fighting the minions of drug cartels wasn't quite what he was looking for. When VIPER made an offer, he took it--but starting at the bottom of a world-spanning organization meant starting a very long way down. Then he heard about Terror, Incorporated--smaller than VIPER, but with great potential. He sabotaged the Nest base and fled with millions of dollars in cash and materiel, and presented it to Meurte with this offer--"Appoint me as the leader of you forces, and I will build you an army worthy of a conqueror such as yourself." As Commandant Savage, Garcia has made good on his offer and then some. The agents of Terror, Inc. are a fighting force with which to be reckoned. And while Meurte respects Savage and appreciates all he's done for him, he still keeps a very close eye on the man, for such exceptional talent and motivation goes hand-in-hand with exceptional ambition. Hope that helps.

The vast majority of Golden Age heroes who weren't Superman copies bulletproof bricks didn't have armor--of course, the bulletproof vest of the time were heavy and bulky, and didn't go at all well with the sort of form-fitting outfits almost all the heroes wore at the time. I remember Golden Age Batman did wear a bulletproof vest in his first encounter with The Joker--I also remember reading in a comics encyclopedia that he didn't wear it all the time. The Batman of the TV series had a bulletproof "Bat-Shield" that was transparent and folded up into his utility belt--not that he faced off against guns all the time. The Batman of the 1989 movie had full-body armor, which he needed because the movie's criminals not only had guns, they used them. One of my favorite scenes from that movie was when he confronted the two muggers on the rooftop--one of them shoots him, and he falls down, but then he gets back up. You can plainly see the terror in the muggers' faces--you can almost read the thoughts of the one: But I shot him. . . I imagine it's a "different times" kind of thing. I believe I've said before that back in the Golden Age, all you really needed to fight crime was a cape, a mask, and a good right hook. Maybe some detective skills. Nowadays, if you don't have any superpowers, you need a black belt or equivalent in at least six different martial arts disciplines, and ideally an outfit made of kevlar or its next-generation descendant. This is especially true in Champions/Hero System, because no matter how agile your character is, no matter how many CSLs are applied to DCV, there's always the chance that the opponent will roll a three.

I cannot agree with that. Yes, there were elements of bondage in the Wonder Woman comic, and there were elements of non-traditional lifestyle in the life of William Moulton Marston. But that does not mean there was not anything more to the comic, that there was not anything more to the life of Dr. Marston. There are plenty of people, women and men, who have found great significance in the character, and have made her a part of their lives. Many of them are featured in the PBS documentary Wonder Women! The Untold Story Of American Superheroines--and if you were to say to them that their favorite hero was nothing more than "just thinly veiled bondage porn," I don't think they would take it well, and would be very cross with you. More than that--you would be aligning yourself with every parent, every schoolteacher, every self-proclaimed "expert" who said comics were nothing but childish, pointless trash which was not worth the paper it was printed on, that they were only fit for delinquents and illiterates. Is that what you want to say? Do you want to be the sort of person who says such things? Just saying.

Found these on YouTube and thought I'd pass them along--some brief but nifty videos about Golden Age heroes, and one about the British character Spring-Heeled Jack, which according to this page is the "first" superhero. If you're into origin stories, this is for you. FizzFop1 Videos Page

I thought all of the Golden Age MLJ heroes were really cool, and deserved to be remembered in the modern age. Too bad all the attempts to revive them seem to fail.

If The Shield and The Hangman knew how thoroughly they'd be overshadowed by the guy on thier shoulders--would they be smiling so broadly? I wonder. . .
