[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] For a good laugh, read the “biography” of Swiper on the Dora The Explorer page at Wikipedia. It’s hilariously deadpan. [/QUOTE] :eek: That’s a lot of work for a secondary character. An interesting read. ---

Xamot & Tomax Twin brothers. You hit one and both fall. What possible advantage could that be? ---

[QUOTE=DocCathode] Turner D Century was a _Marvel_ character. [/QUOTE] Ah, quite so. Sorry, DC Comics. And good catch, **DocCathode**! I am gratified to note that the stalwart Turner D. Century Junior Centurion Brigade remains ever-vigilant against electrically transmitted misinformation in this coarse, newfangled Telephonic Age. I doff my hat to you, sir. Well then, what about it, Marvel? **World War O’ D. Century!** A furious Turner returns from exile in deep space, mourning the death of his wife and intent on vengeance against the man he believes responsible for her demise-- President Warren G. Harding! Earth’s heroes must use Dr. Doom’s time platform and scour the timestream to locate the one man who may be powerful enough to stop Century’s rampage: his arch-nemesis-- Bix Biederbecke! **The Century-Clone Saga!** A sudden crime spree sweeps the globe with the return of Turner D. Century-- only this time, the “D” stands for “Doppleganger!” Dozens of T. D. Clones are spotted, each one customized to represent the turn of a different century! Tremble in fear at the apocalyptic visions of Turner D. Eleventh Century! Stand amazed at the Renaissance-era ingenuity of Turner D. Sixteenth Century! Cower before the berserker fury of Turner D. Ninth Century! Marvel at the pyramid-building skills of Turner D. 25rd Century BC! **Boer War!** Tony Stark’s plan to duplicate Professor X’s telepathic powers goes awry when Turner D. Century accidentally locks himself inside Cerebro, mistaking it for a bathing machine. Soon the superheroes of the world are divided amongst themselves, battling furiously over such issues as women’s suffrage and the Dreyfus affair. ---

I wonder if there could be any support for **Turner D. Century**. ---

Peter Morris: > [@](#): > > Mr Kil from Die Another DaY. Most Bond henchmen rack up a nice bodycount before their own demise. Mr Kil scored a duck. And he had a stupid name, too, the dumbest in the whole franchise. Was he the big guy with the dredlocks? Who Bond killed with a laser throgh the head? Yeah, he didn’t do much. But…dumbest name? Ahem, Nick Nack? May Day? Tee Hee? ---
