Nifty look for the armor there. May I make a suggestion? Swap out those six-armed cross emblems for the Greek letter Omega and call him Iron Omega--and he goes around saying things like, "I am Omega, the end of everything--especially you!!!" Just a thought. Hope that helps.

Star Force--Juliet Riley is the great-grandaughter of Bradford "Buzz" Bradley, better known to the world as the legendary hero Super Star. Why the "Might Of Antares" chose to manifest itself in Juliet after skipping the previous two generations is unknown, just as is the reason why Bradley was chosen to bear the power originally. Able to move and fly at exceptionally fast speeds, Star Force is also capable of wielding "red giant energy" for offense and defense (energy beams, energy shields, etc.) She also possesses "star-sight"--the ability to see clearly over tremendous distance. She has recently discovered she can turn intangible when moving at high speed--something her great grandfather theorized (but never attempted) could mean she is able to fly faster than light itself.

Professor Plague, at least, has villainous potential. The name sounds like a threat with which to be reckoned, a carrier of disease and infirmity. Doctor Dysentery--not so much. Weaponized diarrhea is even less fun than weaponized flatulence, no matter how thoroughly you are into gross-out humor.

That would be this guy.

It's cute--it's funny--it's potentially catastrophic. What more could you ask for?

NASA Discovers Marijuana Planet I don't know about you, but this would have been the strangest Star Trek episode ever.

Joe Biden's Advice To Grieving Families

Very good--but I think he should be called The Scarlet Samurai.

Not really. It's supposed to be a challenge, isn't it?

I was thinking that Lenore, who got a write-up in Adventurers Club #8, might be fun to do. One of Foxbat's early allies, she was a mutant with--as I recall--invisibility and teleportation powers, who pretended to be a vampire. She ran the Foxbat Vs. Fandom letter column for a while, and enjoyed toying with the people who wrote in to praise--or taunt--Foxbat. Just a suggestion. Thank You, Christopher, for all your work in converting these characters.

I wasn't sure whether this belonged in Funny Pics or Creepy Pics--I suppose it's a little of both. Anyway-- "Just keep thinking happy thoughts there, Ocky-Ocky--happy, happy thoughts. . ."

That--was really good.

Nebraska Abolishes Death Penalty

No jury--this was apparently a bench trial.

Ireland Approves Same-Sex Marriage

Tanishq Abraham, Eleven Years Old, Graduates College In the immortal words of Stan The Man--'Nuff Said.

The Japanese Giant Hornet I swear--these things are like "The Zanti Misfits" with wings.

It's okay, buddy--you've heard of them now. Will any of the original Strike Force players contribute to this project? I don't know if any of them are professional RPG writers, or even if they still play Champions. Finally--will there be action figures? Maybe even a movie? I could see Chris Evans as Lightrune.

Death Commando made it into 4th Edition Champions Universe (ppg. 109-110); I have no idea what happened to him in the transition from 4th to 5th Edition. Of course, with Mechassassin, Steel Commando, Devastator, Lazer, Cyclone, and the Warlord running around--to name but a very few--it becomes quite obvious that there is no shortage of super-armed and super-armored mercenaries running around the Champions Universe, no matter what edition you choose.

Finally got around to seeing the season finale. Good stuff--lots of nifty fight scenes, especially with Coulson and the others against the teleporter. I hope everyone was taking notes--those strategies could come in handy. So there was good in Mr. Hyde after all. Very much of a departure from the comic version. Good to see that he, at least, got a happy ending following a trip to Tahiti. After what happened to Simmons--once more I have to go outside and scream. Looking forward to next season--we may actually have superpowered people with code names, secret identities, and--dare I say it?--COSTUMES! One quibble I have, and it's the same one I had with Avengers: Age Of Ultron--as far as I can tell, none of the Avengers knows that Coulson is alive. I would have thought they would deal with that after Winter Soldier, when every last secret SHIELD had was exposed--but apparently not. And all the movie heroes keep saying they want to appear on Agents Of SHIELD, but it never occurs. Perhaps Season Three will deal with both matters. As I said, I;m looking forward to next season. I just hope Simmons is all right.
