Ukase Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbiter Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I'm sure it's supposed to be Dastard of Faultline but ran afoul of the character limit for names.

Psyonico Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Yeah, they are the 7(?) Lost leaders from the various lowbie zones. What this team needs is more Defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High_Beam Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) 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.

Ironblade Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited September 14, 2022 by Ironblade 2 5 Originally on Infinity.

Six-Six Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 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.

Uun Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 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).

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. 1 Black Spectre - A Dark Defender's Home on the Web • The Advanced Bind Guide • The Masters of BAF: A Guide for Leaders and Players • The Wiki List of Slash Commands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
