Favorite Technet Member

[Ryan K]

Who is your favorite member of Technet, those wacky creatures from the original Excalibur series, and why?

I've included links to the characters' uncannyxmen.net profiles if you need to refamiliarize yourself with the characters, their names, and powers.

Personally, I gotta go with Joyboy How can you not love what appears to be a baby floating in a crib that can manipulates your bady shape based on twisted version of what you want. Beautiful.

NOTE: I might be missing a couple members from that list. It gets hard to keep track of them and the Special Executive. Someone please feel free to post any of the members I may have missed.

I love the Technet with all my little fanboy heart!

My favourite would be Fascination/Scatterbrain because I she exemplified the twisted innocence of the Technet for me. I'm also a fan of China Doll cos she looks so darn cool.

I thought there were more members than that but I can't think of anyone missing from your list, Ryan. Great thread. :)

I think Joyboy is the creepiest... i know i'd have an "Oh, Shit" moment if i ever met him... consequently, i think he's the most interesting. That kind of ironic punishment is always a pleasure to see. I think he'd be more effective if the changes were permanent.

But Ryan didn't want to know who the creepiest was, he wanted to know our favorite. I'd have to go w/ Scatterbrain/Fascination. She's just so cool-looking. Maybe i'll draw her sometime soon...

[The Fury]

You insult me with your choice of Reality Jumping Mercenary Team.

I am a Special Executive fan, now although Technet are good also, SE are the better team.

So in relation to that with that I am saying Fascination. She may only really be hired help, but her time on the SE makes her worthy.

[Gaveedra 6]

Great thread idea! I used to love to hate these guys!

Joyboy is probably my favorite too. With a close second going to Bodybag. ICK!

I hope they show up before Davis leaves Uncanny. I loved that even as they were hands-down the ickiest bunch of villans ever, they kicked serious ass.

And who else thinks Jumbo Carnation could have been Gatecrasher's cousin?
:p

OMG if you do I'll give you my first born!!

[Dizzy D]

No, I think you have all the Technet members (unless you count Hardboiled Henry as one). All the others you are thinking of are probably Special Executive members.

My favourite would be Numbers, the accountant.
I also have a soft spot for Fascination and Bodybag.
I think I would have liked Thug more if he had Legion's powers as well instead of completely unrelated powers.

I generally do prefer the Special Executive though.

It depends on the "heart's desire" of his victims. For instance, Nigel Frobisher did become a male version of Courtney Ross (Sat-Yr-9) after Joyboy messed with him. Doc Croc's sorceress became one with cosmos (the Phoenix); her situation was permanent since she never got her body back.

Another vote for Fascination/Scatterbrain for all the reasons Tenebrae mentioned. Plus, I just think her powers are the most fun.

Honorable mentions go out to Joyboy and Yap.

[crystalline green]

Double post! Sorry. I wonder why CBR doesn't let us delete our own posts?

[Vegetarian Goat]

OMG if you do I'll give you my first born!!

Most excellent. I am, after all, starting a collection...

[xakko]

I'm a Yap fan, myself.

"Don't call me mother!"

"Yes, mother."

Gatecrasher would come in second based on her attempt to get "the weeds" at Brian and Meggan's wedding

[DDM]

All of them have distinct, orginal personalities. It's hard to pick just one. Gatecrasher has the most fleshed out personality since she is the leader of the group, but she needs Yap as a touchstone to make her personality shine.

hard-boiled henry, dragon, nightcrawler. arent ferro I and ferro II the same character? just cause he died in one issue doesnt mean he is officially dead

I'd vote for Wardog if we could select someone from the SE...otherwise, the Technet didn't really interest me.

[twilight]

First place to Joyboy.

Second place to Numbers :)

Ferro I and II are brothers.

Nightcrawler was pure Excalibur, part of the Technet joined Nightcrawler as the N-men, but they were the Technet no longer (the same excuse the Technet used to get off planet). Dragon.. perhaps. She was more the partner of a Technet-member though.

[Fede]

my favourite are:

1. bodybag

2.joyboy

[twilight]

I can't believe I forgot 'Hawd-boiled Henwy'!!

I loved The Technets appearance in FF when Claremont was writing it.

[Mariah]

I loved Fascination and Hawd Boiled Henwy

They should Join the X-Men, even one day become leaders in their own right lol

[Davideaux]

I love Numbers. He was quite the ladies' man. He was able to seduce the dragon living in the lighthouse.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

I loved The Technets appearance in FF when Claremont was writing it.


Could somebody let me know what FF issues the technet appeared in please?

and which issue did CC write? Thanks!
