Are any of your characters homages to existing comic book heroes?

Yes, he's on Virtue, to my knowledge. (Or rather, I know he plays on Virtue, but he might play on other servers, too.)


Where do we go from here?

I have a few homage characters myself.

A Doc Strange re-imagined as Dr. Curiosity. A human only form NON Kheldian PB.

A Praetorian version of one of my characters is more "Forge" than just a "Praet version of an existing hero" but I'm not sure how much homage he is in this instance versus inspiration.

One of my most pure comic book character homage characters was a tribute to "Jubilee" and despite having been rerolled from Virtue to PinnaJustiChampion (3 different Jubi versions from 3 different time line arcs) she still kicks *** and deserves her multi spots in my Alt Cave where slots are so precious I have to delete before creating)

Last and certainly not least (though I have to push the comic book lines to television and if you've ever seen the show it just as might have been a comic book) my character "Joel the Janitor" is a loving homage to the awesomeness that is Joel Hodgson/Robinson as the lone human castaway on the Satellite of Love.

Yes! I love it. Is he a Bots MM? I had Torgo and Prince of Space running (well, hobbling and skipping, anyway) around for a while.

His battle cry, "Mike who?".

He certainly is a Bots man. What else could he be after all?

With traps to boot. After all, with years worth of weekly inventions I figured Joel could make a dozen traps or so easy breezy like.

Currently Joel with the help of Gypsy,Crow,Tom and his blushing robot bride Tammy Servo are all out looking for CamBot.

CamBot and tacos.



(Also ... Torgo? Freaking excellent! Still using the name and/or character? Would love to see a screen. Just don't ask for one of Joel, there is no way to make a proper red jump suit)

I always have fun creating homage or pastiche characters, but find that I rarely actually play them. With one exception, none of these characters have made it past level 20 -- perhaps because I'm less connected to them, since they involved less creativity.

Dr. Arcanum: Doctor Occult and Doctor Strange
Commander Quantum: Captain Atom
Mister Gruesome: Solomon Grundy
La Bruja Verde: a mixture of Poison Ivy and Scarlet Witch
Graf von Eisenfaust: Count Dooku / Darth Tyranus


Kid Lazarus, 50 empath Defender
Freek, 50 mind/psi Dominator
Black Khopesh, 43 db/wp Scrapper
Circuit-Boy, 40 elec Brute
Graf von Eisenfaust, 38 db/wp Brute
Blue Banshee, 35 sonic Blaster
Blood Countess, 33 mind/storm Controller
Dr. Radon, 32 rad Corruptor
Phantom Pirate, 32 db/wp Stalker
