You guys asked for it, and I can't let you down...
His name was Demosthenes1. He only had 21 total posts before being banned after 2 days on HCRealms. But the thread that will forever define him went for 544 posts over almost 5 years, spawned at least 23 tribute/sequel/what the #### is this?/where can I find this? threads totaling over 1,250 posts themselves.
As advertised, it was going to be the greatest set ever, taking figures from every previous set (and even the not-yet-released Critical Mass) and making them even better! Forget the common sense that would tell you "No way in #### are Marvel and DC gonna do a set of figures together!" You wanna know why? Because Demos' uncle worked at WizKids' headquarters. No, not the place where they make the figures! The place where the president and the vice-president work. Sure, Demos goes on to backpedal and say he doesn't know the name of the place his uncle works, maybe he just works with WizKids, but how can you argue with such enthusiasm?
And then after post 85... he's gone. Never to be seen again. Just like Romeo, banished (make sure you put the accent on the last syllable). But does the thread slow down? #### no! And look at some of the old-schoolers we got slinging the jokes in there:
retardog - HCR death by girlfriend
Basil Elks - Would get his own historical review if I could find where he faked rupturing his testicle, but I fear it's in a mega-thread like Pirates or Ninja Clan
CapAmerica24 - HCR death by marriage?
Captain Marvel
freakazoid_x - Oh, we'll get to him when we cover Sandra Wu-San. Yes we will...
But what started as gang mockery soon turned into a phenomenon that would sweep the Realms:
And the real proof that Powerbomb is the king of HCRealms threads? Jason Mical (BroMags) later tried to get WizKids to name an actual HeroClix expansion 'Powerbomb!'. He failed, of course, but it was probably Tuttle's fault.
In closing I say: Demosthenes1, you are a G#####n genius!*
He also gave out his AIM SN like a fool (I used to be around as TCEricDraven, but when I got back into clix recently I found that name far too angsty and embarrassing). I used it to goatse and tubgirl him multiple times.
Can anybody pinpoint the EXACT post where Powerbomb and Chuck Norris were first mentioned together?
I always associate these two things and I would love to read the original particular post that unleashed the Chuck-bomb and see just who was the original poster behind this dynamic duo.

*but also a tool
I don't remember his involvement with the Sandra thing, but didn't Chris pass away a few years ago? Would it be in bad taste to speak of the dead?
For me, Powerbomb is the transition from the Golden age of 'Realms to the Silver. I think every single person who was a member at that time posted somewhere on that thing.
Visible Dials and Pushing Damage need to be optional. This is the way.

I honestly don't know anything about his passing away, but I am a history teacher who's made fun of Custer (among a throng of others), so I'd be pretty hypocritical if I didn't pour some well-deserved scorn on freak_x when we get to Sandra. Of course, there will be living people that will get it worse than him...

I know it was highly probable Sandra Wu-San was exploiting gender by using the SWS identity, but I thought we had come further than to refer to a person as "it".

I think the point is that SWS was an immoral d-bag that doesn't deserve anything more than a derogatory comment.
I remember that debacle quite well and was one of those actually concerned for "it" when word got our that "it" was in the hospital etc.
Man that was some drama.
Once again life proved that it is stranger than fiction.
As an aside I too used to post under a different name here, and I must say that I find these forums generally much more friendly now a days.

True, but the said post very was very much riddled with implicit transphobia - if we had been talking about someone who was equally vile, but was cis-gendered, do you think the same comment would have been made?

Of course not, is like others posters said: is not about his gender or orientation is about the inmoral thing he did. But well, I wonder where he is now?

Probably by some people (because there are always going to be prejudiced people out there), but not by me, and not by most of the people I know on here.
I think most of the "it" references to SWS are in jest to the fact that "she" wasn't a she at all...
