• SW10/WWW: Powernaut 1993 #5: Team Scumblood!

    From Scott Eiler@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 2 00:54:34 2022
    The world of the former Powernauts is stymied by the appearance of Powernaut-themed characters in hockey masks. Wyatt Ferguson has a
    theory, though. And only RACC gets to read this theory without clicking through to the web page! But RACC still has to click through to read
    the comic. 8{D>

    Bonus Section: 2005 Reprint Commentary from Wyatt Ferguson! Scummernauts

    Oh, my. This looks a lot like people inspired by Scum Death. (http://eilertech.com/stories/wiki/Scum_Death.htm) He was an evil twin
    of mine, imbued with cosmic power from a cosmic war. I had my own run-in
    with him, also in 1993.
    (http://eilertech.com/stories/1988/me2.htm#eviltwin) He was known to
    inspire similar-minded anti-heroes to fight Total Conversion throughout
    the 1990s. I guess Scummernauts (or "Scumblood") were one of his side
    projects!
