Piratecat Comics & MnM presents six issues of Code-4: Reunion (updated 4/06)

Nine Lives let out a low whistle. “She looks like a young Eliza Dushku, only with fewer clothes.”

Which makes her, what, 12? Eliza Dushku isn't exactly claiming Social Security.

According to imdb ms Dushku is 24 so I suppose a young Dushku could be pushing 15 or 16

“I’d pay to see that.” The Reformer licked his lips and moved closer to the television to try and get a better look. “Great Scott, she has huge --”

The woman on the newscast tittered.

You're just shamefully bad.

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

All together now...

"Titter...?"

 

[Kid Charlemagne]

"...I don't even know her!"

 

[Paxr0mana]

I won't speak for Blackjack, but Wolverine wasn't mentioned once during the character creation process. It can probably be seen as a different interpretation of similar powers. 9-L has the social skills to be the faceman, and his power set has cat-oriented aspects such as leaping.

Well, with the Cat theme, I was thinking 9-L was more like Batman than Wolverine. Wolverine is hard to kill because of his powers. Period. Batman is hard to kill because of his martial arts and 'detective mind.' So, a blend of regenerative power and catlike (batlike?) reflexes would be 9-L.

I, too, have a superhero with claws... no regen, and also not based on Wolverine (although the thought didn't escape me). Mine has claws on his boots, too, though... Blackjack?

Batman and Wolverine's love child!

 

[KidCthulhu]

To put words in BlackJack's mouth, I don't see any great similarities between 9-L and Wolverine. 9-L is a character build around being very hard to hurt and even hard to kill. The claws were an afterthought, some combat ability because it's boring to do nothing while the rest of us fight.

Wolverine is a berserk, homicidal maniac who's all about the combat. The only reason he's still alive are the regenerative abilities, but he's plenty easy to hurt. He just gets better fast.

Very different. And I dunno where this Batman stuff comes from.

As neat of a theory as this is, alas, nope. Nine Lives is hard to kill because his physiology adapts each time he is endangered, to make him resistant or immune to such dangers. Critical wound? His genes kick into overdrive and give him regeneration. Repeated injury? Here, let's toughen up the skin. Cloud of chlorine gas filling up the lungs? Here, let's make you immune to toxins. Honed reflexes would be another by-product of these powers.
