MOST RECENT APPEARANCE IN THE MEGAZINE

The Romanovs are expected to be utterly ruthless. Dmitri encourages this, but has a safeguard in having the ability to override all of the Weapons Crests. Chivalrous Pervert: In spite of being known lothario, Nikolai will not take a peasant girl simply because it's his right as a nobleman. During "The Courtship Of Jena Makarov", he refuses to sleep with Julianna Makarov because of his feelings for Jena.

John’s disdain for science-fiction and fantastical story elements is legendary – yet he’s just so darn good at it! He would regularly cajole me to get rid of Ritterstahl: “No more robots!” he’d grumble. “Can’t we just kill him off?” But when, in an attempt to placate him, I introduced Cassi Jones and the crew of the Cannonball Express (another childhood fave) his response was to send me a postcard which read: “No more trains!” Incoming Ham: Nikolai is very fond of making grandiose entrances if not outright Dynamic Entries.

Perhaps a way around this would be for Dante to discover that he has a daughter. Who is an action girl and the new leader of Katarina Dante’s pirate crew. This would be an interesting perspective flip; as Dante’s mother is the pirate queen in the comics.Rag Tag Bunch Of Misfits: The Rudinsh
