I hope someone does more with Dr. Impossible. Liked what I saw.

I'd hate to be evicted from any forum, but to be able to say that I was banned based on my puns would truly be a badge of honor.

With all of the Mr. and Dr. and Professor Impossibles and Fantastics and Incredibles and Terrifics and Miracles... it gets a bit confusing.

Ian Gruffudd has played two of them by the way.

QUOTE: OK. I have to ask.  What's a motherbox?

A Motherbox is a device that tunes its owner into the Source.  In Star Wars terms, it would allow any person to tap into the Force as the Jedi are able to.

It was a catch-all device that helped Kirby's characters with heightened reaction times, a type of Spidey-sense, and other cool abilities.  They can also heal, summon Boom Tubes, transfer energy... what the iPhone should be doing in another few years.

And they usually went, "Ping Ping Ping!"

I think that most of the New Genesis folk have to build their own Mother Box.  It's part of the personalization of the device.  Each person having their own version.
