Disrupto Man



The countdown's on to C2E2, so posting's going to be lightweight the next couple of days before dropping off completely on Friday. I may take Monday off too if I haven't recovered by then.

Remember how I told you about the Quartet of Crime, the super villain team that the Cownt was once a member of? Super villains of course need super heroes to fight, so my brother-in-law and I created some of those too. These were based on some characters we'd created for a super hero RPG (I forget which one; we played two or three of them). Gav Spence drew them as designs for the comic we wanted to do, based on Dave and my descriptions.

Disrupto Man was Dave's character. As his chest symbol so subtly indicates, his power is to shoot distrupto-beams from his fingertips. If memory serves, he believes he gets his powers from his mystic tiki mask, but may be stark raving mad, which would cast some doubt on that theory. I forget what the forearm-mounted gun does.

The Quartet of Crime by Avery Butterworth



From front to back: Junkyard Kat, The Head Guy, Mary, Crazy Mouse, and the Cownt.

Since I shared that Quartet of Crime story last week, I thought maybe you'd like to see this QoC drawing by Avery Butterworth, who's done illustration work for White Wolf Games and The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo.

The Cownt and the Quartet of Crime

I've mentioned this in a couple of interviews, but the Cownt wasn't created to be a standalone character. My brother-in-law and I were bored during a slow roleplaying game and came up with a bunch of weird people for an inept group of supervillains. The Cownt was only one member of the five-member Quartet of Crime, but he was easily the most popular.

After Gav and I did that first Cownt story for Tales from the Inner Sanctum, we played with the idea of doing a Quartet of Crime one-shot. We even got six pages of it finished before deciding that we were more interested in the Cownt than anyone else. I do love Crazee Mouse though..

The Quartet's scheme in the story, by the way, is very loosely based on actual events.
