Ok, I’m a little behind on the author’s notes, not to mention everything else I’m supposed to be doing lately, but here goes:
A lot was explained, but a lot of names were introduced… Let’s see if I can get all of them:
Cobalt: Was mentioned as one of the founding members of the Rebellion, is currently Teen Dream Team’s resident psi.
The Freak: A member of the original Boomers, and founding member of the East Coast Boomers, The Freak was a scientist. A freak accident occurred during a test with his method of ‘flash-petrifying’ organic matter, and he was himself petrified… But still alive. Now made entirely from stone, The Freak is one of the strongest men alive, and near-invulnerable, not to mention seemingly immortal, having not aged in the forty years since the accident.
GL: The leader of the West Coast Boomers. A speedster. Struggled for a codename, changing between many, before Blackbird told him to name himself after Mr GL, an early member of the original Boomers team. (GL stands for ‘Greased Lightning’… I needed a dodgy-sounding name for a 60’s super, Mr Greased Lightning fit the bill. When it came time to put together the modern-day team, I thought a tribute would be nice.)
Nymphette: I’ll be honest, I was filling up the Boomers roster, and noticed I didn’t have a girl, and thought this would be a cool name. No idea what powers I’m going to give her.
Corona and Plasma: Two brothers, spent the late nineties robbing banks and such using their powers. Were captured by Liberty Force, did two years in Alcatraz and were released into the custody of the West Coast Boomers. Plasma has the ability to blast energy from his hands, whereas Corona can surround his body in the same energy, increasing his strength and speed.
The kids in the New Brat Pack are nothing more than names really, except Uncle Sam III and Miss Liberty II, who are the current Uncle Sam’s children.
That’s about it really, stay tuned for Issue #009: Teenage Rampage, where we’ll be introduced to the Teen Dream Team.
Later Days,
The Author
