Questions about Doug's World

[Bob Schroeck]

---

You know, looking at Doug's uniform, I suddenly saw that it looked incredibly like a sentai uniform--you know, those guys in jumpsuits and helmets in colors of the rainbow what pilot giant robots--all those shows that were brought over here as power rangers.

---

Doug wears motorcycle leathers, more or less. A custom design on the jacket, but really, that's all his "uniform" is. I suspect that the sentai "standard" uniform is really much the same thing, possibly by evolution from Kamen Rider... but I don't know that much about sentai, honestly.

So anyway, I guess this means that unlike nearly every other comic book universe there aren't any immortals around, beyond the gods

---

You mean, other than the Fae and the vampires? If there are human(oid) immortals, they're doing the smart thing and not making a fuss about it.

---

and how about time travel?

---

Mechanical time travel is not really feasible at this time, although the occasional gadgeteer has come up with workable but unreproduceable devices. There is at least one metahuman known to possess time travel powers -- a Rocky Horror Picture Show fan who goes by the predictable nom d'aventure of "Time Warp" (and who has courted Hexe on occasion). Doug has demonstrated time-related powers, between "Freezeframe" and "Fly Like An Eagle". The metabiologists figure it's just a matter of time before they figure the whole mess out.

---

Oh, and if Doug is a colonel, what rank does Silverbolt hold?

---

I believe she's a Lieutenant Colonel, but I'd have to check with Peggy or Helen to make sure.
