Disappointed they'd changed his look, but still.<br /><br />One of the cooler things about those first stories was they hinted pretty hard that the Gun was really the dominant intelligence in that duo. It's a pretty interesting idea it's a pity was never followed up on.RicGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402490648983811985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-28480917434782102512017-02-01T07:57:28.128-05:002017-02-01T07:57:28.128-05:00Tyr will always be a prime example of the downfall...Tyr will always be a prime example of the downfall of the Super Powers line. Kenner was way to obsessed with the "Power Action" gimmick, and ignored popluar characters like Batgirl, Supergirl, Nightwing and Riddler for someone like Tyr, because he had a built in toy potential. Even as a kid, the power action was an afterthought for me, and I think for many kids. <br />That being said, it was a great toy, and the firing missile still packs quite the wallop. But I don't think I had any idea who he was, since his issue of Who's Who hadn't shipped by the time the toy hit. I assumed he was an obscure New Gods character. He does fit in with the Kirby aesthetic a bit, looking like OMAC somewhat. <br /><br />ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246775047190089292noreply@blogger.com
