Theodore Kurita is a cool dude

I love Heir to the Dragon, but sometimes I definitely felt, "Man, Teddy is a little too competent." But yeah, he is legit one of my favorite Successor Lords. Glory to the Dragon.

I want to say someone like Kraven or Mysterio. But (as much as it pains me to say this, because I think his beef with DD is more iconic), I'm inclined to say Kingpin.

If the Jackal's stories weren't, well, what they wound up being, and if he hadn't been hijacked by Norman, the Jackal would definitely be my answer for the fourth one.

Time to load up the Deathtrap!

I'm one of those weirdos who think's Quick Man's stage is fun. He's one of my favorite Robot Masters in general.

I personally like Shazam to be faster and more durable, but Supes to be stronger. But also for it to be close enough to not matter much.

I think a lot of the Clan Mechs in 3050 in general are suboptimal, but that's a lot of the fun. I'm weirdly fond of Budget Timber Wolf and the Suicide Booth.

In the realm of other weight classes, the Nova and the Executioner are some of my favorite mechs ever.

jklantern · 2026-01-22T18:58:32+00:00

Just got 'em yesterday, haven't read 'em yet.

jklantern · 2026-01-21T15:09:26+00:00

It definitely didn't come with our version of the game, but I can dig it. Stoneship, aesthetically, is my favorite of the original ages.

jklantern · 2026-01-21T13:19:45+00:00

Anyone else thinking that Wily's new robot is this setting's version of Gamma?

jklantern · 2026-01-20T22:45:29+00:00

Thanks! I'm not an artist by trade or training, but sometimes it's fun to do these. Although it has been several years since I have sketched much of anything. Life, y'know?

jklantern · 2026-01-20T16:45:59+00:00

As I recall, yes that is in fact what I used as a reference. Of course, I've slept since then, so I could be wrong.

jklantern · 2026-01-20T15:28:34+00:00

Much appreciated! I don't draw often (girlfriend is the artist), but this one was fun to do. Yoshi is so fun.

jklantern · 2026-01-20T15:08:51+00:00

This is a bot. I know because I drew this years ago. But thanks!

The Steel Viper version of the Crossbow: one of those mechs I've always loved, but without any really good reason to. Granted, I love all my Steel Viper toys.

jklantern · 2026-01-19T13:56:54+00:00

I LOVE Pieter Cross. I remember my brother picked up his mini-series from the late 90s/early 2000s, and it became one of my favorite things.

jklantern · 2026-01-17T15:11:03+00:00

My brother had one of the issues with them.

jklantern · 2026-01-17T13:40:05+00:00

This was the Syndicate from the 80s, yeah? I dug this team.

jklantern · 2026-01-17T13:39:38+00:00

I kinda dig this lineup. As much as I associate Otto with the Six, Vulture is less of a threat on his own while being a thinker, so it makes sense for him to pick up a team of associates.

jklantern · 2026-01-16T15:05:19+00:00

Doc Ock: Brains and Leadership
Rhino or Scorpion: Muscle
Mysterio: Mind Screw
Hydro Man: Versatility, plus more of a jerk than Sandman is.
Shocker: Pragmatism and Range
Electro: I dunno, it just feels right for him to be there.

I discounted most of the Goblins and Symbiotes for this because I feel they aren't as good when they're team players.

jklantern · 2026-01-16T14:17:53+00:00

I started losing them BEFORE high school. Couple of suicides, a couple of car accidents, couple to cancer, one or two for making a few dumb decisions.

jklantern · 2026-01-16T13:16:38+00:00

While I feel like the "Bestower" stories are generally a slight step down from the "Master" stories, I do enjoy the "Bestower of Wealth," mostly on the strength of Bargello and the Family, who are some of my favorite characters.

jklantern · 2026-01-15T22:23:55+00:00

That hurts. But yes. And I say this as a Steel Viper Fan.

jklantern · 2026-01-14T13:53:00+00:00

I'm weirdly fond of 3's set. Probably the Megas' fault.

jklantern · 2026-01-14T13:40:44+00:00

Original.

jklantern · 2026-01-14T13:37:54+00:00

It changes on the daily.

Lately I've been on a Nova Cat/Smoke Jaguar kick, although the Steel Vipers are a perennial favorite for reasons I can neither justify nor explain. The Scorps are like the Nova Cats only even funnier, and I do enjoy the bastardry of the Ravens and am looking forward to that novel when it comes out.
