Kreuz Control: SHOCKMASTER!, Genesis, Apex

[MisterO]

Though the only exposure I have had to the MGS saga is playing a bit of the demo the first MGS that came with a gaming magazine. I am, however, fascinated by the lore and outlandish characters that have been spawned from it, and these are some of the best builds of FoxHOUND I've seen.

I am especially fond of your builds which are always easy to follow and understand. I like that you try to be as simple with your builds as possible, only using a smattering of modifiers to create the desired effect and keeping PL within reasonable limits, only going over PL 10 for the truly EPIC characters.

Kudos mister Kreuzritter.

Han solo with a power ring huh? Well I guess if you can put a lightsaber in the colonel's hands.

the first costumed crimefighter in the Watchmen 'verse, Hooded Justice was suspected to be circus strongman Rolf Muller

Nice to see some more Watchmen write-ups, especially some of the other characters.

Keep up the good work Kreuz!

the caped carnosaur, Dino-batman ("Terrible Thunder Batman". yes, this is the best name i could come up with) is an original creation, whose indisclosed origins are clearly entrenched in the mind-blowing weirdness of the silver age.

the RL details of this build are as expected. I saw the pic, and built around the concept of "batman as dinosaur". the work itself was easy, adpting the costmed adventurer from "glden age" to a saurian template, and then rounding off with appropriate combat feats

an over-the-top fantasy anti-hero, Grimm Shado is the character of Penny-arcade's "sonng of the sorcalator" strips, which are both jabs at b-grade fantasy literature, and a certain otherwebcomic author whose ego is said o rival that of john byrne

[Arthur Eld]

Wow. Just, wow.

I think its your diversity and willingness to stat up just about anything that strikes your fancy that makes you one of, if not the, best converters here on the Tank, Kreuz.

[MorningKnight]

Love Dinobatman!

Grimm's also very scary. But I don't know enough webcomic drama to know who he's a parody of.

[Kreuzritter]

oh it's not so much shado himself, it's his creator, l.h. franzibald, who is himself a satire of the guy who does CTRL-Alt Del

from the people who thought 300 was a true story, we have robot chicken's 1776, in which bizarely shirtless yankees beat up the redcoats in slo-mo

at no point does washington use an axe during the sketch, but it's so synoymous with him after the cherry tree fabble that i included it anyway

[MorningKnight]

And see, I thought you'd be doing the very NSFW Washington song/video.

This one, though, is full of win.

the name's self-explanatory, being the link between land and marine life, perfectly preserved in a block of ice until he was defrosted, whereupon he proceeded to terrorize a popular beach resort until the army (and national guard, and a few lifeguards) put him in captivity (where he took a big brotherly role to the city-crushing insectasaurus)

[MorningKnight]

Had I not been stuck in physical therapy yesterday, I would have seen this. I've been anticipating this movie since I saw the concept art of Insectasaurus chomping on the Golden Gate Bridge.

And Ginormica is fighting it out with Elasti-Gal as the cutest. (What can I say? Holly Hunter with junk in her trunk and wearing spandex versus those gorgeous green eyes and snow-white hair...)
