He may need to be toned down later since he seems pretty unstoppable right now.

Not your fault. We have a lot of villains acting as heroes right now, so at times it's hard to remember which are on our side and which aren't.
> > When I saw that only Sigmund has to survive the fight with Gary I was a little surprised, but clearly some things will get put back when reality gets fixed, and the death of D'ur was always meant to be one of them (though originally I wasn't going to kill him, but when Sam took his Bracelet I figured I'd just leave it and resurrect him after the finale), so if Gary goes down too that can be fixed.

> What I meant by that footnote is that, while there's an intention for Sig to make it back to PV-Earth (from which he alone of the current villains seems to have originated anyway), Killer Flea and the Scarlet Lawnmower can be killed off in the coming battle with Gary without any problem. In fact they deserve it.

Makes sense. Like I said, I'm going to undo D'ur's death, so if Gary goes down too then I can probably bring him back as well.

I was waiting to see if Wonder Walrus was going to show up (he was a PV character, right? Well, a PV name, anyway)
> > I should also note I thought Doorman tossing Liu Xi 5 bucks was a great scene. I admit I had thought Doorman's betrayal would be a little more subtle, but I've been enjoying his kicking the crap out of everyone.

> I decided I needed to differentiate his powers from the Link's. basically she uses G-Eyed's trick of con necting two points in space together for a second, effectively teleporting things. Doorman is "opening portals", more akin to what EEE does with it's dimension-jumping equipment, which means they can stay open for extended periods of time, but he seems able to open and close doors in a more metaphorical sense too.

I had thought that Doorman could use his powers to link together any two doorways, meaning instantaneous transportation, but only if there was an available door (kind of like how Mirror Master can transfer himself through any reflective surface). I had figured him to be a little more subtle villain, but I'm enjoying what you've done with him.
> My plan in the finale is for Doorman to die (if he hasn't done before that) then open the door back from death (a one-time deal).

Neat idea.

I'm thinking not.
