Predatorpt Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Re: Namedropping What about: Mr. T (born Laurence Tureaud) Just look at his bio: ..He played football, studied martial arts, and won a scholarship to Prairie View A&M University, Texas, but was thrown out after a year. After that he went to a couple of small Chicago colleges on athletic scholarships. After leaving college he was a Military Policeman in the U.S. Army before playing for the Green Bay Packers. His professional football career was ended when he suffered a knee injury. For about ten years he was a bodyguard to the stars, protecting such well-known personalities as Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson, .... He always boasts that he never lost a client, saying, "I got hurt worse growing up in the ghetto than working as a bodyguard..."

David Johnston Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Re: Namedropping Barend Hendrik Strydom aka The Wit Wolf (White Wolf). Sure he doesn't have any superpowers, but that's what gadgets are for. And any guy who puts on jungle camo to go on a killing spree in the streets of a city, is obviously ripe to wear a supervillain costume if he just had some role models. Motivation: To save South Africa from black rule. Or at least be famous. http://www.africacrime-mystery.co.za/books/fsac/chp25.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clsage Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Re: Namedropping Bruce Lee: How obvious is this one? Possibly the greatest martial artist in living memory. How many comic book MAs are based (at least in part) on him anyway? Motivation: See any of his movies. Those who cannot protect themselves need a champion. And his faithfull "sidekick / comic relief": Jackie Chan I'm basing this linkage on a story Jackie has told about how, on a movie set where he was just a generic stuntman on a one day call, Bruce Lee missed a kick and knocked him in the head. After the director called cut, Bruce came over and was very apologetic and was making sure he was ok. Shortly after that the stunt co-ordinator called Jackie over and told him that he was extended on the shoot for another 24 hours. Jackie believes that it was due to Bruce Lees' intervention, as a sort of apology....So, what if, in our "comic world", Bruce took Jackie under his wing in a more significant way. And together, they begin battling The Triads. Here, from the ever usefull and always appreciated Surbrook's Stuff, are versions of our "dynamic duo" in Hero terms: http://surbrook.devermore.net/adaptionshkaction/brucelee.html http://surbrook.devermore.net/adaptionshkaction/jackie.html -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
