Today is the 40th anniversary of the murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher outside the Libyan embassy in London. The London police were protecting the embassy from a demonstration outside when someone on the inside opened fire and killed her. No-one has ever been brought to book for this. Formula1 racing driver Ricchardo Patrese is 80 today, Sean Bean is 65 today, Victoria Beckham is 50

There is little in the write ups for Spectra and Jabberock other than their actual names and the fact that it is Professor Pomegranate and his Ubermachine that gave them powers. That and the fact that it is linked to the Thugmaster and his School for Thugs. Looking under Ubermachine gets lots of unhelpful stuff like links to the Uber firm. I vaguely recall another villain created as the Professor was trying to create villains corresponding to elements. But where that is I don't know. This is where the Question Man would have come in hand in handy. Sadly h is no longer with this. There was a mention somewhere, maybe in one of the early rule books ?, where the Professor was dying and had a doctor kidnapped in order to transplant the brain into another body. It was used as an example of storytelling. Otherwise he is like Lirby Koo. Mentioned but never given a write up But if it is Ubermachien then I am drawing a blank as is google.
