Quote:A few ideas spring to mind.
Hm. Looney's in both. How do we work that?
1. LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!
This would, among other things, explain why his powers are far more limited than they should be - he's only playing one song. AND IT NEVER STOPS.
2. MECHA-LOONEY, THE ROBOTIC SEQUEL!
The techies...I'm thinking Lora'Lai, ElectroEagle, and Flu Shot...got together one day. With some of Palindrone's schematics. And possibly got drunk, because when they woke up...
3. CREY CLONING ACCIDENT
'nuff said.
4. BLAME PORTAL CORP
Ditto.
5. DON'T EXAMINE THIS TOO CLOSELY
Ahem.
I mean, really, maybe he's just a member of the primary Legendary group who works with the ECL branch often. If you need a reason, maybe he's a liaison guy.
(Now, watch me proceed to examine very closely.)
I dunno what's the deal with CoH Looney - is he actually the Drunkard's Walk Doug, or is he an alternate...native to the CoH universe? Sorta like how Rev Dark wrote him for that Doug-Thibor team-up. A version of THAT Doug works fine, actually, since we've got Bella claiming IST credentials, and the IST Paragon on Infinity.
'cides, IST in general kinda fits, anyway; it does make sense for the organisation to exist as a CoH entity, probably with ties to the CoH canon's Vanguard (the international superhuman force formed to fight the Rikti).
