New tournament, new possibilities. “Mosquito” is named for Vito Antuofermo, whom I’ve never heard of because I’m not the boxing fan our Master of Ceremonies, Spacebooger, is. I don’t know how he got the nickname, but he did some acting later on. Sadly only mob movies were listed, so they stereotyped the Italian boxer-turned-actor.
Too often a good show based on a toyline is ignored as an advertisement for said toy, and to an extent that may be true. That doesn’t mean, however, that it then becomes a bad show. For example, look at Centurions. I really like that show, but had little interest in the toys. (Although I did design some of my own suits with LEGOs because that was fun. And kind of difficult to do with the Legoman design.) OK, a quick check showed that the cartoon came first from Ruby-Spears and the toys were based on that. Not that it would stop your average “do-gooder” parent group, mind you.
So when I stumbled upon the comic, I had to get it. There are some changes, like Doc Terror somehow gaining himself diplomatic immunity rather than having a secret base, but the characters are the same as are the battles. Here’s a quick one now.
