Kreuz Control: SHOCKMASTER!, Genesis, Apex

[teleportingbassist]

Cool. Nice new avatar! I read that comic, now I forget it's name! 100 cookies for the two.

[Kreuzritter]

that would be from tatsuya Ishida's Sinfest. the image in particular depicts the strip's version of the devil himself (hey, I hit mastermind in my ranking, it's only fitting my avvie looks the part)

anyway, Matrix should be next, followed by AndrAIa.

[Kreuzritter]

I come from the net. I search through systems, peoples, and cities ... for this sprite: Bob, my freind. My format? I have no format. I am a Renagade, lost in the Web.

Matrix is a very far cry from his former identity as Enzo, a rough and tumble tough guy who just wants to go home.

for those comparing the matrix/megabyte builds and seeing no way matrix could slug it out with megabreath as he did, please note matrix's complications:

1. he was facing his mortal enemy (enemy)
2. megabyte is a virus (hatred)
3. megabyte had turned mainframe into a nigh desolate ruin (responsibility)
4. megs got matrix mad (temper)

with that going, it's enough for matrix to powerstunt the penetrating extra to his strength and start whaling on megabreath

[Power-Glove]

Enough hero points for a situation that literally demanded that Enzo put a dent in Megabyte. Throw in the power attack and Megabyte caught flat-footed, and you have the makings of a good rumble.

[teleportingbassist]

Yes! I knew it had something to do with Sin! It was hilarious! Nice builds!

[Libra]

Good stuff Kreuz, as I have come to expect from you.

[Kreuzritter]

So, you been having fun without me?

closing off the reboot converts (for now), AndrAIa is the yin to Matrix's yang, so odds are if you face one of them, you'll be fighting both of them

one of Astro city's resident supervillains, glowworm's statted up primarily because he's appeared more often than most, although I've had to take some guesswork here and there (for example, the decision to make his powers electric rather than radiation based, a decision supported by his appearances)

you have no appreciation for the finer things in life, my freind.

perhaps the most recognizable member of the illustrious Furst Family, Rex is the only known son of their most bitter enemy, who eventually found acceptance, love and family amongst one-time enemies

[Power-Glove]

I always liked Rex Furst whenever I caught a glimpse of him in Astro City. I loved the story where he was tearing through the First Family's Rogue's Gallery looking for his daughter Astra.

[Libra]

Yes, it is one of the Highlights of "Family Album".

[Nessor Sille]

I love the First Family. I hope they get one of the character spotlight specials set to appear between each Dark Age mini.

Plus, since Astro City time flows more or less the way real time does, the FF may be quite different the next time we see them. Nick may have married his fiancee', Astra will be in her twenties, Rex and Natalie may have had another kid, Madam Majestrix and Dr. Augustus Furst may have finally admitted all those years of conflict were due to romantic tension...well, maybe not that last part.

perhaps one of the most dangerous minions of Aku, Demongo's main power is that he can literally put an entire Army between himself and his enemies. thus, I cannot stress enough that Demongo should never, EVER fall into the hands of a PC
