Humbug Scoolbus: Apr 25, 2008; The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.; Clapping Larry

Now the TSR published Marvel Superheroes RPG had OFFICIAL Marvel Handbooks too! They didn't have all the characters in full color art of course, but let's see what it did look like, shall we?

The Chief Examiner why the hell they ported this one to a pencil and paper RPG I'll never know.

Captain Ultra with a bizarrely different power set actually.

Red Ronin as a huge giant robot fan I approve of this character. Also weird because TSR didn't have the Godzilla license so Red Ronin had nobody in the Handbook to fight.

Manslaughter This one looks mildly less stupid.

The Collector The classic look which I always thought resembled a really pissed off Granny Goodness.

Karnilla Looking a lot less sleazy in this image.

Sadly the RPG has no Warstar entry.

One Above All is part of a 'Three for One deal' today! Nezar is a Celestial nerd and Oneg the Prober is probably on most Sheriff's Department watchlists just from his name...

And he's too esoteric for the RPG as well as being a giant flyweight midget genius.

Air Walker who in this picture looks like he has just smelled something unimaginably foul. Maybe Galactus took one of his boots off?

No picture for Fer de Lance but I do have her game write-up! Nah, it's just as lame as her concept.

There are 12 pages for this group in the RPG with stats for up to four different versions of some of the members...Why God WHY?

So his adopted sister is his wife, and also fused with him into a single being?

That is some advanced level fuckery.

The close-enough-to-be-the-exception is Dr. Simon Ecks, aka Doctor Double X.

Dr. O. Octavius is also not accurately named.

Counterpoint: There are no Worst Characters in Nextwave. It is perfection in comic format.

Here. This is the only Who's Who in the DCU entry you'll ever need.

Geoff John's and Grant Morrison's use of him was brilliant though.
