@FilmsFallout They'd be the villains. Under Maxson the younger, we see them sliding into techno-feudalism/fascism, and a victory over the institute would only embolden him.

More importantly, I want them cleared off the board. The best person to destroy them is the Player Character.

@gaykiriko @FilmsFallout Preach, comrade!

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@Cielvas @FilmsFallout Get that fraud's ass. Did T-60 serve in Anchorage?? I thought NOT.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@DDDavinciArtist @FilmsFallout Hallelujah. T-51 now and forever.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@FilmsFallout T-60 can go straight to the garbage heap. Lumbering overdesigned refrigerator thinks it can be better than my beloved 51? At least 45 knows its a slapdash transitional model, best cast aside as soon as a T-51 enters your field of vision. The T-60? It insists upon itself.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@ManInTrenchc0at @D4hz4hn That's a really good note. Plus, J'onn is separated from his people by cruel fate, and Grodd is exiled from his kin due to his evil. There's good meat there.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@D4hz4hn ... What the hell does Psychic Gorilla Despot from Super Gorilla Nation have to do with Runs Fast Man? The closest you can get is "even the flash doesn't have time to deal with all this lunacy," and that's not a deep well for compelling stories.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@D4hz4hn Brainiac has an immediate and obvious thematic hook for Superman. Alien Invader vs. Strange Visitor from Another World. People can (and have) run a lot of directions with that, almost always turning up something personal and interesting.

Conversely...

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@Exchronos @OculusImperia I maybe take issue with Nosferatu in the number one spot, but I DEFINITELY think Bride of Frankenstein belongs above the first one. Frankenstein is great, but the sequel is better.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@Icarus7000 Leonard Snart is God's perfect super-criminal. He's a working man, a union man, doesn't let a grudge get in the way of professionalism, endlessly creative in the practical, workmanlike manner of plumbers and electricians.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@CoolComicArt It is not very good. It has its moments, but it simply can't stand up to Wrightson's luminous compositions, and despite being feature length it basically leaves out the villain's whole character, and lacks King's characteristic small-town writing.

@ThomasThorbur11 Godzilla should get his hand and footprints on Hollywood Boulevard. He's earned it.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@Theodore1jensen Artemis: Honestly? I find the colored patterns a bit garish, but the CUT on those suits does not lie. Classy, adventurous, these are the suits of a generation that grew up DREAMING of going back to the moon. So hyped.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@Theodore1jensen Shuttle Era: Nothing says "let's fucking go" like shuttle orange. Above all, Shuttle Era is ready for action.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@L_B_C_95 Controversial take:

I haven't an opinion.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@jd_sauvage In Strange New Worlds, for example, Dr. Mbenga's daughter is picked up by energy beings while in that "energized" state, and is ultimately adopted by them.

[Captain Tempest Weekly @captempestcomic]

@jd_sauvage ...and alive all on their own. Since the process of being transported is described as having no discontinuity (Barclay sees monsters in the transporter beam), it makes the most sense to me that they get transmogrified into fully-aware "energy beings" that can be transmitted.
