Doctor Nostalgia

I'm still noodling aroudn the edges of the upcoming supers game including building a system to handle it using V&V as its basis. Cambias' decision to write his character history as discuisson of the character's comic apperances has given the game a "meta" feel, where part of the game is designing the publication history of the characters and fusing them together to create a viable world. My immediate contribution to this is mixing up elements from the last year of A&E - Scott K. Jamison provided the rough idea of Doctor Nostalgia as a classic, clear morality ray gun and jet pack good guy, and Brian Misiaszek created the Ad Astrans, a group of scientifiction fans and radio enthusiasts in the 1920s and 30s, as well a information on Forrest Ackerman and photos of him in his first costume at worldcon, which provided the visual image of the character. I have fused them to create a slightly different Dr. Nostalgia.
