Re: [RPG]: Wild Talents: Superhero Roleplaying in a World Gone Mad, reviewed by Tomb'
I'm glad you like Trouble Man and The Streak so much. Those two, plus Jake "The Cannon" Crawford, were playtest characters created by me and two friends/former co-workers of Shane and I (all four of us all worked for the same dot-com back in the late 90's-early 2000's).
Shane had told us about the setup for the playtest adventure, and we all tried to go with the 70's theme. Trouble Man was pretty much every blaxploitation movie cliche that Joe could cram into it, the Streak was, of course, a play on the streaking fad from that decade, and while my Jake Crawford wasn't iconic in and of himself, I envisioned him as having a big white-boy 'fro, lapels the size of 747 wings, and skills with Jeet Kun Do, Bruce Lee's martial art. He was pretty much Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop, transported to the 70's and given superpowers.

"There is time." The man said. He was smiling at me. I gazed at the black coffin. There was only one thing; I remembered why I was here. My place was within the coffin. I had come from there, and I had come back here so I could return. But the man was sitting on the coffin.
