He wouldn't stand out even in a crowd of one. His alter ego, however, is another matter. The mutant were-dinosaur Vinnie becomes when irritated is a sight to behold. If you are a dinosaur buff, I can tell you that he looks like a slightly oversized Ornitholestes. Gorgar is in keeping with the great Spider-Man tradition of Mob Bosses who have superpowers themselves (Kingpin, Hammerhead, Lobo Brothers). QUOTE: "This is the end of the line for you, ragazzo - I will start devouring you even before your body knows it's dead." POWERS AND SKILLS: What you would expect from a killer reptile. As Vinnie, he has an uncanny Danger Sense that warns him against surprise attacks ... so that your heroes won't find him unprepared very often. CAMPAIGN USE: Use him in a four-color street-level campaign, a type of campaign that has been exemplified in Spider-Man comics for decades. Gorgar is too heavy a hitter (and to offbeat a character) for regular street-level. THE CRUSADERS CAMPAIGN: He is there (I'm sure), but the New International Crusaders have never met him.
