Character Bio
The Sandman is a founding member of the JSA and All-Star Squadron. His gas gun puts his enemies to sleep. It also functions as a truth serum. He dons a gas mask, fedora, and trench coat to fight crime.
Sorry, Rob! You're too slow! Anyways, you could definitely build Wesley different than I did. I wasn't sure if I should make him Quick or Powerful, as I think he could go either way.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know that I let time slip by--it's what happens with two kids under 8 and a hole in the living room ceiling leaking water!
ReplyDeleteI like how you've done Wesley's write-up. I was thinking that his Weakness would be on his Move Die, but that's because I prefer slightly overweight Vertigo Wesley Dodds to all the other Wesleys who've appeared over the years. :)
Yeah, that also makes sense. I could have really messed with you and did the Silver Age tights-wearing Wesley. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to have a swing-line power to represent his "wire-poon" gun. :)
ReplyDelete(Although I think that the GA gasmask Sandman had the wire-poon before Kirby and Simon came on board.)
I thought that came afterwards. It's tempting to add, just for the name.
ReplyDeleteI went back and changed it to Weak Move, as per your suggestion. That does seem more appropriate. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to pre-Kirby Sandman showing off his wirepoon skills:

Cool stuff. I think I'll leave it out, though. If I did add it in, it would be under MOVE as Wire Poon +1. :D
