I love how Mondo Gecko is all 'well, this sucks. I guess I'm a lizard-man now. Oh well, that's life! Anyway, I look cool!' Also, Dreadmon has one too many elements in his origin. What was the point of the whole 'my Dad fought apartheid' thing? HE has no thematic connections to Africa - he looks Jamaican, sounds Jamaican, grew up in Jamaica and has a Jamaican accent. Why not just skip the whole African business and just have him be a Jamaican slum kid? (In any case, the artist clearly knows nothing about what he's drawing. All the big riots over apartheid were in the slums of the big cities - Johannesburg and Capetown and places like that. Those buildings that the people are running from shouldn't be huts, they should be shanties made of sheet metal and plywood and stuff. And even if we accept that they're huts, they shouldn't be THOSE huts - you only get huts on legs like that in wet places with lots of river and rainfall and stuff. South Africa is mostly savannah and scrub country - their huts are on the ground, thank you very much.)
