The correspondent Bruce Klybourn is entering the strip. Why yes, he
looks kind of like a human-sized koala. And yes, there is a Doom Koala
of Speed in the Powernaut's universe. Coincidence, or...?

But mostly it's about Doc Nostalgia and The Killfile. Okay, The
Killfile didn't change the past for *most* of LNH20, but it sure is a
convenient way to explain Doc Nostalgia's histories.

Let's take a look, if you will, at the Second Amendment of the
Constitution, which protects every American's right to shoot another
American. This cherished constitutional right to shoot people and make
them dead is currently recognized in all fifty states, most recently
Florida.

Yes, this is quite workable! And heck, Doc N's very concept is "the kind of character we keep bringing back but changing every time".

Also, "When the what what?" is possibly the best line you've written.

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, loves that "old Doc" there.

Thanks. I made sure to give him old-guy blue hair.

The thing it reminded me most of was Alan Moore's Supreme.

Okay, that's good company. Though I got inspired for Powernaut comics
by some old issues of Radioactive Man.
