Use your powers to make it be TH! I was not used to my fullest potential.

This is difficult, as the interview you gave to Dan Rather on 13/09/03 left little room for a backstep. Let me refresh your memory:

DR: "You certainly proved a popular character on the show, Chula. Would you never envisage a return at some future date?"
Chula: "Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page. Plant. Robert. Zeppelin? Zeppelin."
DR: "Well, yes, but think of the fans..."
Chula: "Jim-my PAGE! John Bonham! Stairway .... to Heaven."
DR: "Well, you heard it here first, folks."
Chula: "Black dog."
DR: "Thank you for taking the time to talk to us, Chula."
Chula: "Zeppelin."

I mean, I'll do what I can, but that seems kinda final...

Chula Vista 12-26-2015 03:58 PM

I haven't listened to a Zeppelin album in over a year.

I hate typecasts. Both me and my MBAEIT:TNG character.

I deserve a second chance dude. Figure out a way to write me back in!

It's just sad when washed-up actors embarrass themselves like this.

Isn't though? Never beg for a work.Throw it in the gutter and go find another.

Name: Isbjorn
Position: Explorer
Age: 22
Status: Alive but location unknown
First Appearance: Down the Dolce Vita
Last Appearance: Still current

Originally appearing on the show as Briks, he was an Icelandic scientist and explorer who had dedicated his life to proving the legend of the Abominable Snowman. However he got more than he bargained for when he discovered the secret Corporation black base high up in the Himalayas, during season ten, and his subsequent meeting with the thought-dead Janszoon, who, like other important leaders, were being kept prisoner in the camp, codenamed Black Ice, led to the return of the original character for a memorable guest slot. Briks also discovered that, contrary to public belief, Chula Vista had not died in a hail of bullets aimed at Jimmy Page, but that that Chula was another person, genetically engineered to look like Chula, take his place and die in a manner befitting the ex-busker, so that his true role, as advisor to the Council of Ten, could be kept secret as he was examined and interrogated by the Corporation. Together with Janszoon and Briks, Chula escaped and was last seen heading for Denmark in season ten's Wing and a Prayer.

Janszoon then returned to advise the Council of the Corporation's plans, and this led to the dangerous expedition to Tibet in the season closer, All the Tea in China, where Black Ice was destroyed when Janzoon selflessly volunteered to be recaptured, unbeknownst to the commander of the base, wearing a bomb which he detonated, bringing the huge mountain down upon the base and burying it in snow, rock and ice forever. Pursued by the vengeful Mankycaant, whose father had been the commander of Black Ice and who now swore revenge on his killer, Briks fled to New York, changing his name to Isbjorn, where he was sheltered by sympathisers of the Council, until Manky finally tracked him down. In season thirteen's finale, When You Wish... he was about to kill the young explorer when, in a startling (and some say shark-jumping) piece of writing, he ws saved by the onset of the Great NY Quake, which ended up swallowing Manky and leaving Isbjorn standing staring over the edge of a smoking crevasse which could as easily have been his own doom.

http://www.musicbanter.com/avatars/8...ine=1446424458
Name: DwnWthVwls (DWV)
Position: Rapper/Codebreaker
Age: 24
Status: Unknown
First Appearance: In the Blink of an Eye
Last Appearance: (thus far) Spellmaster

For years DWV tried to make it as a rapper but never quite had the “mad skills”. Then, one night as he pored over the lyrics to some of his favourite artists' music, he noticed something odd. That something odd turned out to be the driving force for season three, the Bitch Codex, a complicated formula inserted (with the knowledge of some and without the knowledge of others) into all major rap lyrics. When deciphered, this formula became one of the most powerful spells of summoning, which would in fact call forth Satan himself from Hell and place the Lord of Lies as ruler of the Earth. But the words had to be said together, in a particular sequence. DWV learned that a huge “Rapfest” was being organised under the aegis of the African American Musicians League, which turned out to be a front for the darker arm of the Corporation, a black ops outfit which was answerable to nobody and went under the umbrella (ella-ella! Stop that! Ed) name of D.A.R.K.

As the climax of the concert arrived, and thousands of fans at the live event as well as billions worldwide watching the broadcast were held in thrall, the spell was within moments of being completed when DWV sneaked around to the back of the stage, plugged his ipod into the sound system and began blasting Country music at full volume. As we've seen in South Park, hippies hate heavy metal and we now found out that rappers hate Country music. They began to falter in their tight lyric, upsetting the flow of the spell, and while DWV bravely endured the awful strains of Randy Travis and Garth Brooks, the crowd, uncertain what to think, began to realise that the ground beneath them was shaking. Cries from the stage of “YO! What's this mother****ing crap?” soon turned to insults among the rappers as the terrible Country music worked its own evil spell, and the rappers began fighting each other. Shots rang out and people scattered for the exits, the live broadcast was quickly pulled and DWV, exhausted from his heroic work, was one of the few people to see the arrival of the one who would later become known as The Batlord into our domain.

What happened to DWV after this feat of courage and self-sacrifice is unknown, or at least unconfirmed, but there were later sightings of him (or someone looking like him, but unaccountably much older) at the Pleasant Valley Sanitarium in Chicago, wearing a stetson and greeting everyone who came up to him as “pardner”.

http://www.musicbanter.com/avatars/3...ine=1432493894
Name: Exo
Position: Shadow Man
Age: 44
Status: Alive
First Appearance: By the Light of the Silvery Moon
Last Appearance: Current character

If Manky is the enforcer for the Corporation (and he is), Exo is one of the powerful men driving it, the only one in fact we have so far seen or know of. Usually referred to just as The Brain, he is one of the most talented and influential film directors in the world, and uses his immense intelligence, allied to the matchless technology at the disposal of the Corporation as well as his own not inconsiderable fortune, to project subliminal messages into the audiences of his films. These can be anything from a simple request for a credit card number or address, social security details or incriminating/blackmail information, to actually setting up Manchurian Candidate-style assassins. Although he has long been suspected of being behind three major riots and the removal of two heads of state, as well as an extremely bloody coup in the Central African Congo, Exo has never had so much as a parking ticket stick to him, and has a completely clean record.

In season four's One Way or Another he selfishly uses his power to direct his young lover Steph, who is carrying his unwanted baby, to take her own life when she steps in front of a bus immediately after seeing his acclaimed Bronze Heart starring Clint Eastwood and George Clooney. Her husband, Xurtio, spends the remainder of season four and five trying to prove that her death was not suicide, but eventually is dealt with by the Corporation when he is sealed inside a room he is supposed to be painting, only to find the paint has been laced with Zyklon-B gas and there is no way out.

Editor's note: The use of this controversial gas was talked about, before (and certainly after) the show, especially in the light of the grandfather of the actor who played Xurtio having died in Dachau, but it was felt that the impact of using the same method of, basically, execution as the Nazis used in World War II was, to quote Trollheart, “too perfect to pass up”*. He may have regretted this later, when, after the episode aired, the studios were picketed by the American Anti-Semitic League, Amnesty and rather a lot of Jews on bikes. Trenchant to the last, the showrunner refused to apologise, saying that "to do so would have been to have tried to airbrush out of history the atrocities perpetrated during the Holocaust"**. Though some Jewish organisations later agreed this was a good point, the question has divided the Jewish community ever since, with many boycotting the show.

Actually, it kind of is. He has a major part to play, and the fame he gained through playing the wandering demon pretending to be Satan is now legendary, and has resulted in his becoming one of the richest men in history.

And the fattest.

Trollheart 12-27-2015 02:46 PM

I'm sorry Chula, but though you were nominated for Favourite Ancillary Character 2011 (but lost out to Machine), The Batlord was voted consistently Favourite Villain 2011 - 2020, and also Favourite Character Overall three years running, beating out some very stiff competition. He's the show's Spike. People love him. He's especially popular with the Nerd Demographic, who for some reason seem to think they identify with him, and let's not forget that Manowar's nineteenth album did contain the track "Hail to the Mighty Batlord"....

Thanks man. I only wish I'd had the idea. It was totally inspired. But I'm doing my best to keep it going, and hopefully providing some laughs in the process.

The Batlord 12-27-2015 03:00 PM

I'm starting to suspect that I am awakening Trollheart's long suppressed homosexual tendencies.

Zhanteimi 12-27-2015 03:12 PM

Why would anyone suppress such tendencies in this day and age?

The Batlord 12-27-2015 03:18 PM

He's old and he's Irish.

Who says they're suppressed? ;) Don't worry: even if you were gay, I'm sure you could do better than me. ;)

The Batlord 12-27-2015 03:26 PM

Undoubtedly.

Trollheart 12-27-2015 04:54 PM

It hardly need be said that I could of course do much better than you.

A Troll Heart sounds more like a mixed drink at a Comic-Con bar than a sandwich.

That could work but i think we should make it the complementary mouthwash that comes with the Batlord sandwich.

You can put cheese into it for an additional 60 cents but it won't help much.
