Hah. I can see it, how the ‘head’ looks like the front of a train.
In mildly related news, a series of unfortunate events meant that I’d not touched my decks in a few weeks. I just opened my deck box in order to look at Flak Cannon and the familiar sensation of my fingers flipping through the decks brought a smile to my face.
FrightTrain? Makes sense, I suppose… I wonder if that thing is stuck on his head. It kinda looks like he barely has a head. So I’m guessing all of these background villains have names? But I doubt they’ll come into play (except for the Other Heroes). I’m still curious about the man in a hippo costume on Haka’s “Savage Mana” card. At what point when someone is turning evil do they decide “Hey, you know what I’m gonna wear? A hippo costume. That’ll strike fear into the hearts of people!” At least Haka put him in his place.
He wasn’t even a villain: Haka just didn’t like his costume!
(This may or may not be true. (It probably isn’t.))
Maybe that was during the after school special where the heroes talk to the kids about staying in school so they can have a good career and don’t have to work wearing a hippo costume.
We call that guy "The Hippster".
This thread has convinced me to sit down and look at every card in the set. There is so much I've not noticed going on.
At Gen Con, Christopher, Adam, and my girlfriend Dakota all informed me that hippos have the capacity to be very violent creatures. I never knew.
Hippos are terrifying. Even Haka knows that, as he mentions in the flavor text of the Enhanced Edition version of "Elbow Smash".
They must be the most hostile when they're "hungry hungry".
...terrifying.
Oh, good. Because I really wanted to sleep tonight with raging hippos in my nightmares.
Don't forget guys, Visionary's whole point is to stop Legacy from going all Jack the Ripper. Hopefully she can stop whatever it is that kills Young Legacy.
That being said, it Young Legacy might not be the reason he goes nutso. He has a wife and other kids, right? What if something happened to them?
As far as the Freedom 6 goes, there are more than a few cards out there with Ra and Legacy together. I wouldn’t be surprised if he joins up.
Yeah, unfortunately, if Visionary suceeds... she doesn't exist, right? I mean maybe Vanessa does, but...
I generally abide by the mutipl universe idea. So she would still exist, there just wouldn't be another one in that future… did that make sense?
I'm not so sure about that. I'm thinking his wife has already died or maybe split up since the GTG folks wouldn't reveal anything about her. Unless I missed the information about her. Nor do I recall anything ever being stated about other kids.
Maybe Haka is the #6? Visionary's Prophetic Vision card shows Tachyon, Haka, and Wraith clearly together (and in trouble, from the looks of it). So thats, 2 members of the current FF associated with Haka in a futuristic vision thing. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but could be.
I feel the easiest additions to the Freedom Five would be Unity (who already works with them as an intern or something) and Tempest. However, after losing his arm, who's to say what he's up to. Megalopolis was saved and Voss turned away (for now), so maybe he went off in search of anything else his people may have brought with them and survived.
And hippos, like keyholes, are, indeed, a menace. Also, commas.
Waitwhat? Did I miss something? Where is there indications… Oh, wait. Are you making an Aquaman joke? 
Check the back of his character card It certainly looks like he's lost an arm there.
Wow - yeah, you're totally right. 
I'd never looked at it extremely closely, and always assumed the arm was behind his body. 
Thanks for pointing that out!
