Shock Therapy

How can the long summer days of 1973 have been thirty four years ago?

One of the many monsters from Hulk's bizarre rogue's gallery, it's Reddy Kilowatt's antisocial cousin Zzzax!

Seth understandably decided to make him a giant, so he's going to need some allies to help keep him from being a target.


Representing the veteran form of the character, including a later appearance when Zzzax became linked with Thunderbolt Ross. Seth did a nice little write-up for the design.

Criticisms were almost immediate (this am th' Intarwebs after all), but some of them were valid. He really should have had some Steal Energy at least, and should be more difficult to damage. Other elements have to do with the screwy rules for giants, which could be changed as soon as next summer's rule book revision; that a giant's Poison doesn't extend two squares away from him the way his other close combat options do is one problem.

Taking slot #25 in the Mutations and Monsters gallery, Zzzax is an Uncommon and so should be easy for people to find.
