Dave was a down-on-his-luck kids entertainer whose life was falling apart - his wife was having an affair, he was defaulting on his mortgage, and he could barely afford to keep his car moving. On his drive home from his first party clown job in weeks, he took a shortcut through a bad part of town. And suddenly Dave was caught in the middle of a super slug-fest. As earth-shaking blows were traded, the ground caved in beneath his car. When it finally crashed to a halt, Dave found himself in an abandoned super-lair, and in front of him, two gleaming golden power gloves. At last his luck had maybe turned. In that moment Punchline was born, and he would make the world pay.
Punchline is a heavy-hitting Villain threat, regularly on the night-time news following his latest solo caper or latest job with the Shadow Axis. No matter how many times he gets captured it seems he always manages to escape before too long and every time he does he is able to somehow reclaim his golden power gloves.
Yep - and every supers game should have 'em!
ReplyDeleteYep, like that 👍👍👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. :)
DeleteThe SU universe of characters will continue to grow and so I hope early characters like Punchline find an audience. :)
Great character, clearly not the Joker.
ReplyDeleteThe previous ones we're not bad, but a bit vanilla. He's something else though.
I like his backstory too, no doubt the original owner of the gauntlets will start to haunt him once he's become more famous.
Glad you like him Wouter. :)
