Tut tut, Kreuz. So teutonically-monikered a chap obviously must have meant Eisenfuhrer.

Keep up the good work, oh fleet-fingered master of the statting block!

A supervillain from Alan Moore's Awesome Universe, LL's pretty much a smarter, classier analogue of Killer Croc. not much on brains, but he's good muscle, and hey, gives you an excuse to use robert goulet's greatest hits as background music

an Avenger from the Iron Age, masque's term was cut short when she was abducted by a mysterious robot before the team's eyes. this plot thread was then sumarrily ignored with the start of the onslaughtheros reborn events, but was eventually the basis for the second Avengers/thunderbolts crossover.

that said, I've oriented Masque around being the ultimate Facewoman, making her a choice pick for any team needing an espionage expert

Brigade's token ninja-type hero, Kayo was more or less the team's spine, keeping them from killing each other and ... oh who'm I kidding, this guy should've been in charge instead of battlestone, according to my research

Is that Liefield's idea of a skinny guy?

Cripes, his biceps and thighs are still broader than many of the tree trunks I've seen!

[Kreuzritter]

only decent art pic i could find of the guy. when I stat something from rob's corner of image from hereon out, i'll be trying to avoid his art if at all possible.

[Libra]

It is a bit too "Eighties Action Hour" for my taste.

(Which is not to say that there's anything wrong with the '80's Action Hour' style, it's just that Liefield takes it to rather painful extremes. In my opinion at least.)

Lounge Lizard - TOO FUNNY - and perfect for a baddie with some humor and a surprisingly wallop! i see him as being a lt to some major behind the scenes mastermind. In other words - thank you Mr Kreuz LL gets the big ~Yoink~

yeah, he's definately the sort of bad guy you ould see fighting Starman III at club 54 or something

I have very little idea if Bobo here existed prior to comin' outta the stir in Starman, but he quickly became one of my more favorite characters in the series. no costume, no fancy name (by choice, anyway), Bobo was an ex-navy diver who decided to go supervillain after getting his powers. but after a long and voluntary stay in the joint for the one time he did kill somebody, he got out. one long and would-be bank job later, Mr. Benetti here finds himself in the business of being a hero for hire. as far as he's concerned, it's a pretty sweet gig now that he's on the straight and narrow.

as you can guess, Bobo's main feature is that he's a plainclothes super, and if played as a black hat (one of the classy ones, mind you), he's a vicious surprise to pull on players expecting mere thugs

a TMNT monster, KK here is a mutated komodo dragon with delusions of grandeur, claiming to be descended from actual dragons. before this line of comics was removed from continuity (IE: it never happened), Komodo also gets attention for biting off the hand of Leo

yes, thunderstrike, who's long annd complicated backstory I won't really go into right now, other than to say that he got to be thor's avatar for a time, and got his powers as a reward for such service. and though he's dead now, Thunderstrike was a pretty good everyman hero, being a single father on top of his heroic and civilian responsibilities.

If i ever get around to the MC-2 line, I think I'll stat up the second thunderstrike as well

a 90's X-villain, Post's powers mostly stem from the numerous cybernetics woven throughout his body. and while his powers don't exactly call for subtlety, he likes abusing his invisibility while in combat

~edit~

If i ever get around to the MC-2 line, I think I'll stat up the second thunderstrike as well

Cool deal - I wasn't really know all that much about the first Thunderstrike - but when the MC-2 line came out I was a big fan of his son turned hero!

Spider Girl - J2 - Avengers Next - even the X-People MC-2 was a pretty decent run. And the fan following saved Spider Girl form the axe for quite a while.

cheers
