New Triumph featuring Northguard #1:
...
He gets picked because his brain waves are very close to the
man who was originally suppoed to use it, and tey don't want
to waste 6 months reprogramming it to someone else.
(Plot hole--what happened to the original guy?)
/* ---------- */

No plot hole at all, Mike.  The original guy was shown in the
opening pages.  He got on a plane, and the bad guys blew it up -
killing hundreds of people to prevent him from reaching the
armband.  A very high stakes contest, indeed.

My favorite exchange was when Northguard didn't want to have the
name translated into French as Guardienne la Norde.  "Why Not?"
"Respect for the dead."  "That is one wierd young man..."

"The grave is a mutant's only lasting sanctuary."
