POWERNAUT 1993!

Heh, from what I heard then, Jeff Goldblatt considered the Powernaut movies to be an embarrassment. Someone may have dressed like his movie character to do a stunt, but Mr. Goldblatt wasn't likely to do that.

I *think* we all know differently now. Except, reality shifts. So it could be anything.

Oh, my. This looks a lot like people inspired by Scum Death. He was an evil twin of mine, imbued with cosmic power from a cosmic war. I had my own run-in with him, also in 1993. He was known to inspire similar-minded anti-heroes to fight Total Conversion throughout the 1990s. I guess Scummernauts (or "Scumblood") were one of his side projects!

Now, who might be French royalty inspired by the Powernaut? Perhaps in 1966? Louis the Secret Vichy Boy King?? (Designated Louis XIX of the House of Bourbon, to those who track such things.) And of course he has an entourage - and possibly access to some technological enhancements.

These, we can be certain are the Hypergaardians from 1966. The strip's interviewee S.O.S. had a feud with them in 1969. Indeed, that's the reason their leader moves around in a hoverchair.

As for "Hyperblood"... well, they are four-dimensional, so they do have four-dimensional blood. Somehow my own ancestors interbred with them once, so *I* have four-dimensional blood also. That explains some of my clan's weird powers.

Powernaut Comics seems to be grouping several alien-related heroes together. There is no shortage of aliens bred to our solar system conditions. We may remember, there is an alien brood-farm on Venus. There may be aliens hovering above to monitor. There may even be some crazy human who's inspired by all this. Since aliens really do exist on our world, can you blame the crazy human?
