Swarm meets Eddie Essex

Crash Platypus

on Oct. 1, 2011

Fun Fact: Eddie Essex of PowerTrip and Swarm were almost the same character.
Swarm is one of my oldest self-replicators, and over the years, every time I made a self-replicating male character, I named him 'Nathan O'Neill', and wrote him as another "Swarm" who either was the same guy from a parallel Earth with the same power (my favorite, by the way), or, that it was a duplicate Nathan trying to forge his own way under a new hero (or villain) identity.
I broke that habit when i created Powertrip. i was originally just gonna do the parallel Earth Nathan, who, just happened to be younger. But, at the last moment, I decided to name him after my Uncle, Ed Jr., and my favorite X-Villain at the time; Nathaniel 'Mr. Sinister' Essex.
