Taking the theme thing too far?


I'm playing in a tournament on Sunday with a Hallowe'en theme; my 600pt team must include one demon, one scientist, one alien menace etc.

Now, I love playing thematic teams so am making mine as Hallowe'eny as possible - Green Goblin, Morbius, Ghost Rider. Which is where I hit a problem. I needed Ghost Rider to fill my 'demon' slot and wanted to run the Danny Ketch LE - but as far as I could tell from searching on line, the being that posseses Danny boy.isn't actually a demon. As a result I have put the exp Johnny Blaze in the team instead - as he is most definately down with the demons.

The incident got me wondering whether I was being too anal about this; the guys I play with wouldn't have made a fuss if I'd gone with Danny. But, at the end of the day, I would have known and wouldn't have felt totally happy playing him.

So, dear readers what would you have done?

  2. 'The experiment' is the one that stumped me when I was thinking about building an all-DC team. I had The Chief, Ambush Bug, Swamp Thing and The Demon - lots of faves of mine - but just couldn't think of an experiment to go with it.

  4. Ghost Rider's back story is a contradictory mess, but although it now appears that Blaze may have been an agent of Heaven rather than Hell, I'm fairly certain that both Ghost Riders were still bonded to Zatharos (spelling?) a demon.

    So you are good with both.
