ASH Attacktix: Robert "Challenger" Coulter

[dvandom]

Robert Coulter from Han Solo (Endor gear).

As he was during the Villain's Apprentice arc. I took some liberties, making his coat longer and deciding that only one of his two cyber-hands was obvious. :)

Coulter? I always imagined him as black!

He is a tad underdescribed. The side of his cybereye wasn't even established until several issues after his first appearance. :) It's a problem with ASH stuff in general, actually.

Eh. I doubt many of them look the same in your head (and on the page) as they do in mine. For instance, I think/thought Derek Radner's black too.

To give another example, while I knew from the get go that Solar Max and Meteor were a mixed couple, it took a while for me to decide which one was black. :) Sometimes a character's ethnicity is immediately obvious (i.e. Breaker, whose Chinese origins were significant in her first appearance, or Sal Napier the big Italian stereotype), but otherwise it can go undescribed for a rather long time.

Good thing we've got the likes of Geode then ;)
