1. His boots are bigger than his head!!

He must have an enormous schwanstucker! :o

[tekriter]

2. or kielbasa, maybe...

?

[elfwitch]

3. He does!

And it is a Jewish one. So all nice and trimmed.

4. For you elfwich...

...of course I would. But maybe he is just a little stereotypically heroic?

[elfwitch]

5. not in the least...

Appearances can be deceiving.
He hasn't always looked this way.

At one point he looked like this:


And before that he was a skinny smart kid from Mars.

6. I suspect a super soldier serum.

or gamma radiation

or cosmic rays

or a radioactive spider bite

am I close?

[elfwitch]

8. not even...

During a robbery at a lab, at the time he is a space pirate being hired to transport the thieves, he is seriously injured. The technology that the bad guys are trying to steal, the Wah Matrix, is used on him to save his life. This technology binds itself to all cells and increases their potential. He is the peak of human potential in all areas. He was already super smart, but now he is strong and fast and immortal.

[TN al]

10. couple of questions.

If he was a pirate hireling why would they be concerned about saving his life? and who would have the knowledge to utilize the matrix?

[elfwitch]

12. Ah ha!

I told you it was deeper than that.
The bad guys didn't save him.
The scientist who he ended up protecting didn't save him.
His SHIP saves him!!!

[TN al]

17. HMMMMM...

...thought provoking

[elfwitch]

18. This is in NO WAY your standard "superhero" story

That would be too easy and boring.

7. More about the series...

We plan on a 1hr 30 min pilot that an be easily split up in to three 30 min episodes. Regular episodes in the series will be 30 minutes.

We plan on having the series on a pay cable channel like HBO so we do not have to limit our stories to things that have to be "kid friendly" or 'language sensitive".

9. What are the stories like?

It looks like a Flash Gordon/Dick Tracy kind of thing, but I hate to judge by appearances. What's the setting? Is it good guy heroes vs. evil nemesis stuff?

[elfwitch]

15. All kinds of stories...

We hope to get a good enough of a deal to lure Class-A writers in.

Some of the writers we'd like to get:
Alan Moore
Neil Gaiman
Jeph Loeb
Joss Whedon
Aaron Sorkin
Warren Ellis
Mark Waid
Judd Winick
Jill Thompson

We'd have them write stories based on their talents. Everything from comedy episodes to political drama.

11. Will there be cartoon sex?

Oh come on, someone had to ask it!

[elfwitch]

13. Not full on but definitely some...

serious smoochies and semi-nekkidness.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

14. Like, I'm so there, dude!

Seriously, it looks really promising.

16. Hey...

Be the first on your block to own some Rex Raygun merchandise.
That way you can say you were in on it when it was still in development.
