The HC Wiki is void of information. 

I've only recently found a reference to read the old CoH comics and I've not yet finished them. 

I just completed Penny Yin's arc, and in the last mission, there are some Anethema, lost bosses within it. One in particular is called "Dastard of Fault". 

This is an odd name. Granted, all the Lost are fairly strange, but what's up with this name? I can grasp "Dastard of Faultline", but "Dastard of Fault"...not really sure that's a catchy name. 
Is there some lore/story tied to this name?

I'm sure it's supposed to be Dastard of Faultline but ran afoul of the character limit for names.

Torchbearer

Frostbiter - Ice/Ice Blaster

Throneblade - Broadsword/Dark Armor Brute

Silver Mantra - Martial Arts/Electric Armor Scrapper

I thought it was Dastardly of Faultline as in a reference to Dick Dasterdly from Wacky Racers and of course Laff Olympics but now I am questioning myself considering there was a Muxley as opposed to Dastardly's dog Muttley; age, alcohol and hope probably all a factor in my confusion.

The names are all homages to The Wacky Races.

Slag - Rock and Gravel Slag - two cavemen in a stone car

Gruesome - the Gruesome Twosome

Blast - Sergeant Blast who drove a tank

Ruffcut - Rufus Ruffcut, who was a lumberjack and drove a car with circular saws for wheels

Ant - the Ant Hill Gang - bunch of really short mobsters

Blubber - Lazy Luke and Blubber Bear

Dastard - Dick Dastardly

 

Edit:  FYI, I was able to remember all but two of those.  I had to look up Blast and Ruffcut.

Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

As is Penny herself.  One reason I will always and forever insist that her Superhero codename is Pitstop.

Ah, the Wacky Races... the stuff of my childhood. Dick and Muttley were my favourite back then (I was like 5 or 7???), so I suppose I was predisposed to be a villain?

I also remember mishearing the name Anthill Mob to Anvil Mob and for the life of me could not fathom what the pint-sized mafioso had to do with (acme) anvils. I only found out a few years ago haha.

Ah. That's a much better origin than "Bris gone wrong"

The Wacky Races cartoon was inspired by the 1965 movie "The Great Race" starring Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood and Jack Lemmon, written/directed by Blake Edwards (of Pink Panther fame). Really worth watching if you've never seen it.

Its a great fun film if just for the pie fight and the frozen mustache.

Looks like most of it was already there, although I did a little cleanup and added Dastard, who was missing.

You’re awesome, man! I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek, but never-the-less it’s fantastic that you took the time to verify and clean up the page. 
 

OK, let me be serious for just one second… Although I won’t say there isn’t missing information nor obsolete data still at the HC Wiki (there are thousands upon thousands of pages there),  over the last year it’s undergone a huge transformation. Hundreds of pages updated, hundreds of new pages added. Enough new and updated information has been added to push it over the threshold and it can no longer be thought of as merely a clone of Of an outdated wiki. There’s some great information there now, enough to make it a formidable resource.

But still, add all this stuff to the wiki, quick! 😉 

I should have been more precise. I used the search function in the HC wiki and came up void of results. (before changes were made)

And, I do try to add a note to the HC Wiki when doing so won't impact the progress of team play. Generally speaking, I tend to do the same things, so I don't usually run into new territory.
