Oh, and here's my take on Keel Haul:
design notes:
- His look was inspired by the original toy and and
Captain Gloval
from
Robotech/Macross
(one of my favourite shows growing up).
- The jacket he's wearing is a Navy Aviator G1 jacket (colloquially referred to as a "bomber jacket"), which had its origins in World War II and is still issued to naval pilots and navigators to this day (on a related note, I've always wondered why the 1986 version of Hawk was issued one).
- the original toy design had him wearing a white combination cover (the "cop hat"). I changed it to a khaki one to match his khaki uniform.
- sticklers for uniform accuracy will note that his hat no longer has the "scrambled eggs" on the visor. That's because I've designated him a lieutenant commander in his filecard, and not an admiral as he was originally designated in the ARAH toyline.
To see all the other changes I made with the character, check out his filecard in the Filecard Project album (link is found in my signature). I kept the character's origins as a qualified fighter pilot, but pretty much remade him from the ground up specialty-wise (I'm biased, of course, but I think he's much cooler with the training and schooling I've ascribed to him).
I love him. I think once he was introduced into the Comic it sort of complicated things a bit, but I love how you've been able to incorporate him in a more realistic way to the size of the team. Your Keel Haul is the XO right? Obviously there is no USS Flagg as we know it in your Joeverse. Since he is a Commander now. I suppose he is your Flight Squadron Commander? Where will Payload fit in? I need to go back and look. That dude is the perfect face for Keel Haul. I loved him in Deadwood. He had such a dirty mouth I can't look at him the same. He was also the voice in Kung-Fu panda of the villian.
