So, we've got a new Halfsac. They're the servants of Omnichronus, a god-like being that we'll see a little more of later on. We've got lots of new characters, and some old characters, and all sorts of cool stuff, so let's just do a good old fashioned Roster. Cause I like rosters.
The Darkwatcher- Rank: Prophet of Omnichronus. Powers: Psychic, Elemental Control, Cosmic Energy Control. First Appearance: Cosmic Love #2 (I think...). What's his Deal: The Darkwatcher has been a servant of Omnichronus for longer than anybody, so he's the highest ranked member of the Club. He's also kind of a stick in the mud, and doesn't really like the name "The Hot Fudge Sundae Adventure Club", because he thinks it's undignified. He refers to the group as the Servants of Omnichronus, which is way less cool. Darkwatcher can communicate with Omnichronus directly, across space and dimensions. He can also combine his powers to generate a miniature sun around himself.
Tei Harlequin- Rank: Priestess of Omnichronus. Powers: Psychic, Elemental Control. First Appearance: The Clown & Tea Cup Show #3 (I think...I really should keep better track). What's her Deal: Tei Harlequin originally debuted as Cactus Jill the Harlequin, but she transformed into Tei Harlequin in "Truth or Consequences 100". She was Darkwatcher's apprentice before the new HFSAC was formed, so she's ranked higher than everybody but him. She's got a big heart.
Cactus Joe the Clown- Rank: Vassal of Omnichronus. Powers: Cosmic Energy Control. First Appearance: Pulp Horrorshow (vol.1) #1. What's his Deal: If you've been reading "Clown & Penguin", "TORC Zer0", or "TORC 100", you know that Cactus Joe has evolved into a Cosmic Being and is now the servant of Omnichronus. He's got the rank of Vassal, which I kind of think of like being a Sheriff or a Police or Military Captain. The Clown's got a really, really big Hammer named Mr. Happy that is made of solidified cosmic energy. It's like a cosmic bazooka really. CJ has the best trump card of the entire team, namely the Karmic Bullet, which is a bullet with butterfly wings that's cosmic vibrations can liquidate anything evil. And stuff.
Pengy Penguin- Rank: Vassal of Omnichronus. Powers: Psychic. First Appearance: The Bunnyville Experiment. What's his Deal: Again, if you've been reading the new stuff, you know that Pengy is no longer the defenseless waterfowl he used to be. He's a cosmic being with high grade psychic powers, most notably a level of Pyrokinesis that allows him to create a Phoenix-like sheath of energy around himself, even in the vacuum of space, cause it's COMIX, and I can do that. Other than that, Pengy's best traits are his brain and his heart. He also has an interesting trump card, in that he can send messages to Omnichronus across space (check out TORC 100 to see that particular trick in action).
Tea Cup- Rank: Hammer of Omnichronus. Powers: Bad @$$ Robot, Sonic Powers. First Appearance: Watchdogs #1. What's his Deal: Tea Cup is Cactus Joe's little brother. He's also a robot. You might be wondering why he no longer looks like a weird, constantly changing robot thing. Well, once again, you need to read TORC 100. Anyway, he's a walking War Machine now. He still likes beer and music.
PlatOmega- Rank: Anvil of Omnichronus. Powers: Killer Robot. First Appearance: I don't wanna give it away yet. What's his Deal: PlatOmega is a robot platypus. He's a pre-existing TORCverse character, but I'm not gonna say who yet (long time readers should be able to guess). He was designed to hang with the other servants of Omnichronus, so he's very powerful.
Electric Cherry- Rank: Bailiff of Omnichronus. Powers: Lightning Elemental. First Appearance: Clown & Penguin #1. What's her Deal: Electric Cherry has popped up a few times in several different books (look for her especially in "SDF" #3 and "TORC Zer0"). She volunteered to serve Omnichronus, and was given the rank of Bailiff (get it? Cause Omnichronus is the Judge of Worlds. Get it?), which I think of as being like a Deputy, or maybe a Sergeant. She is upbeat and playful.
@byss- Rank: Bailiff of Omnichronus. Powers: ? First Appearance: HFSAC #18. What's his Deal: I have no idea. I don't know what he is or what he does. He just volunteered for the job, much like Electric Cherry.
Run-No-No-Run & Stop-Go-Go-Stop- Rank: Arch-Harbingers. Powers: Fire Elemental/Ice Elemental. First Appearance: Anarchy Bootleg. What's their Deal: The last time we saw the Hip Brothers was all the way back in "Monster King" #6, where the Hip Bros quit the Skull Mob and left for outer space in their Space Whale Watoosi. Something happened to them, and now they've been reborn as cosmic beings and servants of Omnichronus. I like having these guys back. They're fun. Plus, they were members of the original HFSAC. Dance Party!
Eyemo & Eyemii- Rank: Arch-Harbingers. Powers: Earth Elemental/Air Elemental. First Appearance: HFSAC #18. What's their Deal: So, Omnichronus has these servants called Harbingers. You can see them in action in TORC Zer0. Their bodies are covered with eyes, they lack sexual identities... or any identities for that matter. They are basically drones created solely to serve the Judge of Worlds. Eyemo & Eyemii are Harbingers who have been upgraded by Omnichronus for the specific purpose of giving the Hot Fudge Sundae Adventure Club extra muscle. They now have identities, names, and personalities, but they are also kinda like newborns, so they're both learning how to be themselves.
Anyway, that's the basics on the New Crew. They're a Fun, Colorful bunch, and I look forward to creating their new Adventures. There's a new Strip on Thursday, and you can check out the new Archive section at: http://www.torcpress.com/hfsacweb.html. Game On!
