Colin,

Thanks for the fantastic review. It was in-depth, thorough and well thought out.

I'd like to address a few things.

PRONUNCIATION
Just to clear things up, "Omlevex" is pronounced OM-luh-vex.

KIRBY BUTTONS
Look verrrrrry closely at the Dehumanizer. He does indeed have a few Kirby Buttons. Hehe.

METAZON
You're certainly correct about Metazon having way too much going on for such a consolidated area. All I can say is that this was entirely intentional.

I based that aspect of the setting on Marvel's Manhattan, which is just way too crowded with superhuman activity to ever be even remotely realistic.

Actually, this is pretty true of DC's Gotham City, Metropolis and Central City too. In essence, comic companies of the era (and largely today as well) didn't worry much about whether or not it would be possible for all these heroes, all these villains and all these different factors to exist within the perameters of one city. They simply wrote stories set in the area and that was that.

So, I tried to follow that way of thinking rather than trying to make Metazon feel realistic. =0)

Again, you wrote a fantastic review. Thanks.
