I just drank a Bud Light, watched some football and now I'm watching beer company commercials during football games and thinking I have a shot with some of those women in bikinis. Based on that, it must be...
MANUARY!And we've got a real
MAN for Aisle 2!
My name is Simon Williams. I used to be known as Wonder MAN. I used to be an Avenger. Back when that really meant something. I know what I'm about to tell you is not a popular idea. I know that what I'm about to tell you flies in the face of how I've lived my life up until now. And maybe what I'm telling you flies in the face of what you believe. But the Avengers are wrong. The idea of a group of super-powered persons gathering together and deciding what's best for the world...is wrong. There is something very sexy about the idea. Something very appealing. Sure, I'll give you that. And that's why I was one of them for so long... But now I see clearly that I was wrong. They are wrong. - Wonder ManWONDER MANPL: 13 (193 pts) -

MAN a lot as a kid, but as time went on, he became less and less interesting to me, even with his new “Hollywood” angle. But his recent incarnation as an anti-hero hellbent on destroying the Avengers for their, the world’s, own good, has been good. The way Bendis wrote it, you could almost see his point, especially the whole Civil War thing (which he was the lead writer on himself, mind you), which he called “a war about nothing in the end”, since Iron Man and Cap ended up making up and moving despite the cost, which is true.
As a build, Simon can hang with any of the top paragons in the Thorpacoverse and can wreak havoc on a team of PL10 heroes/villains. In my setting, he is where he is now, except his wrath is upon the Justice League, since I am currently not using the Avengers labels (generally).
