My Super Life
Methos
Methos
was born December 29th, 1979 in Sittingbourne, Kent. Methos was a child
prodigy, learning to read at two and do calculus in his head at five. By the
time he was 10 he could beat a computer at chess. In his teen years, Methos' family was dealt a hard blow when Methos' elder brother, Tom, was killed in
Vietnam. Methos graduated high school at 16, and following his brother's
advice, attended the London Institute of Technology.
While at LIT, Methos and his mentor, Professor LoNigro, developed a string theory on
time travel. Methos went through four years of LIT in two years and continued
through various colleges to eventually obtain seven doctoral degrees: Music,
Medicine, Physics, Archeology, Ancient Languages, Chemistry and Astronomy.
During his college years, Methos' father suffered a fatal heart attack. The
guilt of his absence during his family's time of need would stay with Methos
for years.
As a
young adult, Methos was a key member of the Hellfire Project. It was on
the Hellfire Project where he would meet some of his closest and most trusted
friends: Gambler; a brilliant computer programmer
known simply as Walkingstone; and Dr. Kara Cathain, the love of Methos's life.
In the years after the Starbright Project, Methos and Kara were engaged, but Methos
was jilted at the altar and never saw Kara again.
A few
years later, Methos and Gambler spearheaded Project Quantum Wave, a time-travel
experiment based on the string theory Methos had developed while at LIT. The PQW
facility was located in Stallion's Gate, New Mexico in a primarily underground
complex. In 2007, after constructing the necessary machinery, including a
holographic imaging chamber and a supercomputer with access to vast historical
databases, the project's funds were running thin. Eager to prove his theories, Methos
stepped into the Quantum accelerator chamber and bombarded himself with
agitated Quantum Radiation to prove his theories on Quantum Shift Mutation.
Methos' home at the end of the universe...
The Time Traveler
Methos, prior to project Quantum Wave
Methos
awoke in 1956 having exchanged places in time with an Air Force test pilot.
Having exchanged places with another person, everyone sees Methos as the person
he displaced. As Methos would soon discover, quantum leaping had an unforeseen
side-effect. He was struck with partial amnesia, describing his own situation
with the analogy of his brain being like a hunk of Swiss cheese: full of holes.
After
living out several years in the 50’s, Methos finally learned to control his
“Quantum Shifting” to a reasonable level and can now travel in and out of the
timeline, and to different dimensions at will. He does not need to ‘bounce’
someone out of the timeline anymore and due to his exposure to the agitated
quantum radiation, his skin has now taken on a golden hue with his hair and
eyes permanently crackling with ‘Time Flux’ from the amount of time he spends
outside of the timeline and in the spaces between dimensions.
Having
been travelling in and out of the time stream for many years now, Methos has
picked up an unusual array of weapons including a jacket from fighting in the
Napoleonic Wars. He's got a snakeskin sword from Korea that he had to kill
someone for, his boots are from Italy circa 1640 and he's got gun holsters from
the American West.
He is now working for The Torchwood team in their technology department, aiming
to arm the human race against the future...
Methos
Methos' String Theory
Methos'
theory of time travel, developed with Professor LoNigro, is based on an
expanding, but finite universe. A person's life is like a length of string. One
end represents birth, the other represents death. If one were to tie the ends
of the string together, their life becomes a loop. Next, by balling the loop
together, the days on one's life would touch one another out of sequence, this
was the major breakthrough in project Quantum Wave, allowing his body to be
bombarded by the Quantum Particles pushed him slightly out of phase with the
rest of the universe, and once he had figured out how to control the quantum
nature of his new body it allowed him temporal and dimensional travel
abilities.
Changes in his own life
M-Theory
Though
explicitly forbidden by his own guidelines to alter the past for his own
benefit, Methos did alter his own history and those of his loved ones on a
number of occasions:
- Star-Crossed, Methos reunited his future
fiancée, Kara, who was nineteen at the time, with her estranged father. As
a result, Kara did not leave Methos at the altar and the couple were
married. This union would bring Kara onto Project Quantum Wave and, through
her father's military connections, assure government funding, thus
replacing the Project's private funding oversight committee with a
government oversight committee.
- Methos travelled back and
replaced himself as a teenager to win a basketball game his team
originally lost. While there, he tried without success to save the lives
of his father and brother. When Methos left, he found himself inadvertently
in his brother's SEAL unit in Vietnam. While there, Methos saved his
brother's life, but missed a chance to free a young Gambler and two other
POWs from their Viet-Cong captors.
- Methos fathered a child, Samantha
Josephine "Sammy Jo" Fuller. Like her father, Sammy Jo was a
prodigy with a photographic memory. She would grow up to join the staff of
Project Quantum Wave.
Trivia
Outside of time and space...
- Methos ‘replaced’ nine women
to fix the original timeline: a glamorous secretary, a divorced mother of
three, a beauty pageant contestant, a pregnant teenager, a rape victim, a
singer in a girl group, a housewife during the women's movement, Dr. Ruth
Westheimer, and an inmate in a women's prison.
- Methos ‘replaced’ people in
the military (or veterans) ten times.
- Methos ‘replaced’ two
non-humans: a chimpanzee and, apparently, a vampire.
- Methos ‘replaced’ nine
people in law enforcement (including a PI and a bounty hunter).
- Methos ‘replaced’ people in
jail or prison four times.
- Methos ‘replaced’ children
or teenagers six times.
- Methos ‘replaced’ college
students (including military cadets) six times.
- Methos SSN is 563-86-9801
and his Department of Defense Umbra Clearance Code is 004-002-02-016.
- The 1970s was not Methos' favourite
decade; for instance, he dislikes disco (Disco Inferno) but he
absolutely loves the 80’s and has admitted to reliving them twenty or
thirty times.
- Methos was unable to
remember his marriage to Kara throughout his time travelling. He thus had
several romances that Kara knew of and accepted as a consequence of the good
he was doing. As well as fathering Sammy Jo with Abigail Fuller.

What's the first comic you remember buying?
oh man, this brings back memories...
i remember it well, strangely the very first comic i bought for myself was an issue of Hellblazer right back in 1988... bloody hell, where does the time go?
Hellblazer
before that i'd been reading Supergirl for quite a few years, having 'inherited' my parents collection, i went on to continue the trend and caught up with the character and carried on collecting Supergirl right up to the present day...
Supergirl
strangely i didn't actually start collecting Green Lantern until the next year in 1989, in which i bought a ton of old issues, i remember the first one i read was The Green Lantern Corps titled 'The final chapter in the saga of The Green Lantern Corps"
GLC
All of these comics i still buy to this day and actually love them as much now as i did then, well, maybe not the current Supergirl, but thats another story...

Doctor Who,
Whose powers would you want to have?
I know people will say "huh..." to this, but it's got to be The Doctor...
The most dangerous man in the universe?
he doesn't have any flash powers, he can't leap tall buildings in a single bound or crush a star with his strength... he doesn't have speed or heat vision or ungodly implants that would let him tear someone apart limb from limb...
and dispite not having any of that, he's possibly the most dangerous enemy you could ever face...
his main 'power' is his intelligence, which it somewhere past the 4 didget mark in IQ points, the entire knowledge of the universe, every planet, star... everything that is, was, could be and must never be... he sees it all...
now that it something that would be worth having...
for a close second it has to be Waverider with Jack Hawksmoor coming in on a close third...

Kilowog,
Salakk,
Sinestro,
Arisia,
Ion,
What's been the most shocking moment in comics for you?
Lethal Force
While this little panel isn't so much a big
moment, the reactions of each Lantern are great and it
really sets the tone for the upcoming panels that show how they use
this new found lethal force.
"Ring Status Report: Sinestro Corps Screwed"
Building on the previous moment, this shows the Lanterns tearing through the Sinestro Corps members now that lethal force has been enabled. I love the different personalities of each character shining through with their various
means of killing, like the guns from the ex-soldier Lantern and so on.Even Salakk got in on the lethal force action with this awesome incineration of the White Lobe member attempting to suicide bomb Kilowog.
Sodam Yat seems a little too happy about the switch to lethal force being enabled in this scene. I also liked how Arisia did not want to resort to killing people. Good to see not everyone took the lethal force enabling as a license to kill.
"Lethal Force Has Been Enabled - Feel Free To Go Crazy"
Definitely a shocking moment...

What character do you think has the best costume?
Jack Hawksmoor
On this i have to agree with Buckshot...
The Doctor
Suits make an amazing 'costume' and it adds an air of authority (no pun intended) to any character.

Today is a sad sad day, we all mourn the passing of Michael Turner today, such a brilliant artist and he was taken at such a young age...
A truly amazing artist taken well before his time
my thoughts and condolences go out to his family and friends...
most of you all know that he was suffering from cancer and had been having problems for some time now. Turner’s fight with cancer was truly inspirational. He fought it with dignity and grace.
