I thought we were supposed to be having an Egobossler week. What happened? I was looking forward to learning all about him.

Well, looks like Ego's popularity is next to Zark's, which is way under the cipher level!

Maybe this should be our first Ego Thread that should have been started Yesterday.... Amy you had better start, tell us everything you know about Ego....

I've been away so PLEASE someone get the ball rolling!!! Thanks Condorfan.

Can anyone think of any good Polls we could do for Ego? Ebony that has been your department in all of this ... what can you think of?

(sorry, couldn't resist!) Anyway, in honor of Ego Week, here are some piccies of the Blue Villain.

From Daniela's site:

I know very little about our Gatch of the Week -- why is he blue?

Originally posted by gogirl212 I know very little about our Gatch of the Week -- why is he blue?

I was wondering that too. Also, his face reminds me of Joe.

Which may explain why Amy is an admirer of Joe as well. Amy ... come out, come out where ever you are... you better start providing some information here to all these avid readers.

I think he dyes his own skin blue. Why he does this, I don't know. This would be a good question for Tatsunokofan!

I was waiting for Amy to answer this, but since she's not around.... Ego was born with the name of Erun. His father was the old Count Egobossler, and his mother was a castle maid. He was illegitimate. His father had a legitimate son named Kaseru, who was next in line to be the Count. One night, Ego's father (who was given to fits of violence) killed the maid (Ego's mother). As she died, she revealed to Ego the truth of his parentage. Ego ran away. When he returned, he had had surgery to change his appearance to look exactly like that of his legitimate half-brother Kaseru. The process had somehow made his skin blue and his hair white. He challenged his father, and Kaseru took out his sword, slicing the bandages off of Ego's face (which is how he got his cheek scar). Ego kileld his father and imprisoned his brother, usurping his place and telling everyone that HE was Kaseru. I'm a little fuzzier on the next bit, but later on in the series, the real Kaseru is released and he stages a rebellion to take back the title from Erun/Ego. One of Ego's generals (name escapes me at the moment,but the one with the headphones) deserts him, calling him a traitor, but Mekandor remains at his side (the one who looks like Gimli). Eventually Erun kills his brother and quashes the rebellion, solidifying his hold on the title of Count Egobosler.

Hi all! Why is Egobossler blue? There are so many possibilities: 1. Because he's a Smurf. 2. Because he's depressed. 3. Because he's an Andorian 4. Because he's cold. 5. Because he's a Gamilon. 6. Because he needs air. 7. Because he's really Mr. Freeze 8. Because of a frat prank gone wrong. 9. Because he's a member of the Blue Man Group. 10. Because he eats too many blueberries. Oh. You want a reason as explained in the series itself. Sorry, they don't give us one. He had a normal flesh color until he went away to get his plastic surgery. When he came back, he was blue. That's just the way it was, and we weren't told exactly why he went for the full-body dye job. Sorry this doesn't really help! James

Of the answers you gave, I like the Andorian one best,James. I guess he cut off his antennae?

He's really Mr. Freeze??!! Where is my boy Flash?! HAHA!! Oh a crossover fic idea right there! Flash versus Ego! (Ego - is that an appropriate name?!) Unfortunately I don't know the blue one at all so I can't get in and do it, however ... Amy ... Go at it! Tries on the red unitard with the lightning bolt on it - grunts because it doesn't quite fit nicely, and the tightness only highlights the 34 year old bodily imperfctions - and checks herself out in the mirror. zip zip zip zoot slide woosh! Yup, Flash is still in there!! :giggle: Ego has quite the history. Very interesting! Yay to Ego getting his own week here on Gatch!! SJ

Thanks, James! I think the idea of him being a Smurf is funny---Smurfs goin' bad! TJ, thanks for the background on Ego. Makes me wish I could see Gatch F even more. I see that the creators didn't throw away the idea of a long lost brother. At one time, they were going to use a long lost brother of Joe's to come back to the team instead of Joe returning himself. Is that right, James?

Hi all

He's really Mr. Freeze??!! Where is my boy Flash?! HAHA!! Oh a crossover fic idea right there!!

You're thinking of Captain Cold, not Mr. Freeze. Captain Cold is the Flash villain who dresses in a fur-trimmed blue and white suit and uses a freeze gun. Mr. Freeze is the blue-skinned Batman villain who must stay in a special suit to maintain the sub-zero temperatures his body requires. He also regularly uses freezing weapons.

I see that the creators didn't throw away the idea of a long lost brother. At one time, they were going to use a long lost brother of Joe's to come back to the team instead of Joe returning himself. Is that right, James?

Pretty much. Joe's brother Jack was going to join the Ninja Team as Jack, the Hawk. The only people who knew who Jack was were Jack, Nambu, and, at some point, the viewers. He wanted to prove himself before he revealed his relationship with Joe to the rest of the Ninja Team. Whether or not Joe would have ever rejoined the Science Ninja Team is not revealed in the Planning. The Planning only outlines the basic story up to the point where Joe regains his memories and is freed from Gallactor. Whether this was supposed to happen at the end of the series or somewhere in the middle is not stated. James

Quoth Tats: You're thinking of Captain Cold, not Mr. Freeze. Captain Cold is the Flash villain who dresses in a fur-trimmed blue and white suit and uses a freeze gun.

You know, I belatedly realized that after I posted but really couldn't find the energy to come up with a new post to cover up my own ineptitude ... LOL! Mr. Freeze, Captain Cold ... heck they could be the same thing? No? I should be embarrassed that I screwed up the name of one of my favourite super hero's villains, but I'm not, really... much ... heheh Oh the boys from Big Bang Theory would have a field day with me, eh? God I love that show!! :laughs: Oh well, back to work now... SJ

James, once again I to you! I knew that the original concept was to have Joe's brother join the team, but I never knew any of the details (ie: his name or that Joe was supposed to lose his memory). Since these ideas never came off the ground, the canon set-up could lead to some interesting fics! I only wish I had the time (and effort) to put into something like this! I think it would be an interesting topic to explore.

Were we ever told why Jun's hair frequently looked green?

When you look at them together there is a resemblance!

I'm in shameless self promotion mode... I did a Condor Ficce where Ego plays a role in it. "Secret Lives." http://www.gatchfanfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=520 And this short one I did just for some fun, Ego's the star. http://www.gatchfanfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=639&warning=4

Hi all!

Were we ever told why Jun's hair frequently looked green?

Not frequently, but constantly and consistently. If you look at it, her hair is always green, except when viewed through the visor of her helmet. This was obviously a conscious decision on the part of the staff at Tatsunoko, but no explanation was given. Perhaps they felt that black was too visually boring and having a 5th Ninja Team member with brown hair was a bit too much. James

I was told it was a cost thing -- Early on her hair was black. My understanding was that the black paint was too expensive so they opted to go green -- or something like that. I'm not making any sense ... It's 4am, so my brain isn't functioning right now. Ignore me SJ

To me, it seems to vary in colour (unless it's just the way my computer moniter is set or that some images have faded over time). I'd definitely say her hair is green in the first pic, but not the second.

ITA it varies. Her eyes do too. Sometimes they are blue. (the scene in Jigokillers where she is talking to Jinpei before going off on her own on the bike comes to mind)

I think they also try and take on the lighting they want the scene to appear so they vary the colours of hair and eyes to create it. Well, green is a common base colour in black paint, and after time the green becomes stronger.

Pretty much. Joe's brother Jack was going to join the Ninja Team as Jack, the Hawk. The only people who knew who Jack was were Jack, Nambu, and, at some point, the viewers. He wanted to prove himself before he revealed his relationship with Joe to the rest of the Ninja Team. Whether or not Joe would have ever rejoined the Science Ninja Team is not revealed in the Planning.

Whether this was supposed to happen at the end of the series or somewhere in the middle is not stated. James

I know I'm going OT here but what James said has me intrigued. So the original plan of Gatchaman II was to have Joe's long lost brother, Jack, join the team while Joe lost his memories and worked for Galactor? So Galactor had saved Joe and turned him into a cyborg?

Hi all!

I think they also try and take on the lighting they want the scene to appear so they vary the colours of hair and eyes to create it.

Which is what causes most of the variations that people have noticed, along with variations dependant on the quality of the original source material and the transfers made from them. Going to the most primary of source materials, I've checked the animation cels I have from Gatchaman, Gatchaman II, and Gatchaman Fighter. I don't have a ton of cels of Jun in her civilian clothing, but in those that I do have, her hair is painted in some shade of green.

I know I'm going OT here but what James said has me intrigued. So the original plan of Gatchaman II was to have Joe's long lost brother, Jack, join the team while Joe lost his memories and worked for Galactor? So Galactor had saved Joe and turned him into a cyborg?

Yes and no. This material does come from a series with the proposed title of "Gatchaman 2," but it is not the same Planning that was eventually used to create "Gatchaman II." The series we know as "Gatchaman II" came from Planning for a series that was tentatively titled "New Science Ninja Team Gatchaman." By a comment in the "Gatchaman 2" Planning that it had been two years since the original "Gatchaman" ended, it is likely that this Planning was created in 1976, two years before "Gatchaman II" was finally produced. Beyond the basic concepts of X returning to Earth and attacking with a recreated Gallactor, and of Joe being saved by beicoming a cyborg, there are very few similarities between this Planning and what eventually became "Gatchaman II." Regardless, in the "Gatchaman 2" Planning, Governor X was to have saved Joe by making him into a cyborg who worked for Gallactor. Joe would have spent his time combatting the Science Ninja Team under the guise of the Space Joker (With the "Jo" part of "Joker" being spelled using the same katakana as the name "Joe" was). One of his main weapons was to be black-colored Feather Shuriken, and his main ship was a flying mecha named the "Condora." While I'm sure that they weren't going to tell people right away that the Space Joker was actually Joe, these things (Along with a recognizable, if disguised, face)would have made it hard for most viewers not to have figured out who he was. James

This makes sense. Even Ken's hair varies sometimes.

Thank you James for letting me know about the plans for Gatchaman 2. It seemed an interesting idea of having Joe working for Galactor again but then it would have been obvious that the Space Joeker character was Joe. Thanks again James! I bow to your knowledge.

Hurray for shameless self promotion! I really enjoyed that story and I liked the suave evilness of Ego. I am starting to understand him more as a villain now - thank you for sharing that. (also thank you for thinking up a romatically steamy Condor shower scene!).

You do know that there's an appropriately steamy pic Ebony did to go with that appropriately steamy shower scene, right?

Condors and steamy showers seem to go together for some reason...mmmm I wonder why....*grins* I'm just loving the mental image it conjures up in my mind...hot!!!

*swoon* Ebony, you're a swan after my own heart...love your smexy pictures and fics!

Springie i love the modified avatar, he's waiting for his red haired Swan to hop in with him.

Originally posted by Transmute Jun You do know that there's an appropriately steamy pic Ebony did to go with that appropriately steamy shower scene, right?

I've just started reading that story EB but my computer can't bring up the picture. Could you post it in the Rubber Room? Thanks!

ooo la la for the hottie pic with the hottie fic! Ebony, you make it hard for this Eagle lovin' girl to stay true to her man.

'Secret Lives' was my second story. I did it because TJ wanted to know what happened with Joe and his new Girl friend from the previous story. (The piccie isn't that good,) I forgot I posted it in the Gallery!

Ebony, I thought it was a really good pic! You just get better and better with every one! <----- Me...waiting for Joe

Ebony, I thought it was a good pic, but if you really don't like it you are always welcome to draw a new one.... we can never have too many naked Condor pics.

Originally posted by Ebonyswanne 'Secret Lives' was my second story. I did it because TJ wanted to know what happened with Joe and his new Girl friend from the previous story. (The piccie isn't that good,)

What do you mean??? Of course it's good!!!! I wouldn't have posted the link if I didn't think so! And I didn't realize you wrote that fic for me! It is a wonderful story! I love the way you have Joe's tough exterior softening for Madeline....

Thanks for posting that pic EB! All I can say is BTW what was the story before Secret Lives? I like to read things in order. I'm weird that way.

Ebony...of course we like it! Your piccies (and ficcies) are awesome, baybee! Oh yeah, back to the topic...I didn't do anything for Zark week or Ego week...so I'm making up for it... Would you believe Tatsunoko vs. Capcom added a couple of characters to their game? (sorry...I didn't have time to color this one...I am working on a rather large project for Jun's Joint right now... )

Originally posted by Condorfan BTW what was the story before Secret Lives? I like to read things in order. I'm weird that way.

You're not weird at all! I like to do that too! The story before Secret Lives is Friends and Lovers.It's about Ken and Jun.

Good work Springie!!!! Although, I am thinking the bottle in Ego's hand should be clutched the other way - unless he is going to hit someone with the bottle (instead of drinking from it) then the hand might be in the proper position.

I am over this one, Springie! I love the bottle of Windex in Zark's hand! Oh my.... my sides hurt!!!!

Teehee... I was laughing while drawing it...and yes, Ego is going to bash Zark with that wine bottle...maybe he could even make it into a Molotov cocktail and blow Zark up with it!

Springie I'm sure Amy will love the piccie!!! (Thanks for the compliments girls about the piccie, I just thought it looked a bit 'stiff' you know and Joe didn't come out quite right, but its an early one and I did it about a year ago.) I like to write Ego as a villain... he has that mix that you can see what he could have been if he didn't allow the bitterness over his mother and the way the Count acted to shadow over him. He is the more 'mature' out of the three throughout the series.

I wonder who would win that battle of wills (Ego or Zark)?? Great pic, Springie. I too was at the bottle of Windex. And Ebony, whoa! Holy hotness, what a pic!!! More! More!!

Originally posted by Ebonyswanne , I just thought it looked a bit 'stiff' you know and Joe didn't come out quite right,

Well Ebony I might say Joe is allowed to be stiff in some places but some might show that proves my smuttiness is coming out. So I wont say anything.

ummm . . .Cloud, I think I see a little tarnish on your halo just there . . . might want to wipe it off after that last post (hehehe).

Another great pic Springie! Now that's a match I would like to see!

This Owl would rather find the Eagle's soft spot.

I bet you would, CD!! (btw, there goes your innocence again!)

Originally posted by Hinotori I bet you would, CD!! (btw, there goes your innocence again!)

Ummmm, No ... there goes YOUR innocence. You were the one who read into that statement. I only noticed it (I THINIK I know what you are implying anyways) after you said that.

Neither of you is innocent any longer. I have others who will back me up in this statement. You two need to get past the finger pointing and denial and just enjoy it.

I believe that innocence is defined as "the pure, untainted state of being that you lose immediately upon creating a user name at Gatchamania.net and acknowledging your presence in a Hello Thread." It's all over after that - even if you don't know it at the time. At this point, I'm just realizing how far it is possible to sink. Smut is a bottomless pit.

I don't think I have (yet!) After more than a week of writer's block, in which I did nothing but tear at my hair (figuratively) and revise what I'd written weeks earlier, I managed this morning to finally write the big smut scene that had me stalled. Must have been something special in my coffee, never thought I'd be able to write smut that early in morning (and I never have time to write anything at night anymore).

Well ... let's put it this way the words have been there, I have just been afraid to write them down, because I was concerned about what people might think (or might not like.) I have solved that problem by having some "special muses" telling me I should not care what others think, I should do this for myself. (Thank you TJ, Ebony, Springie and Hino.)

Yes, those elusive muses... Seems mine are currently with CD again, so I'm in a bit of a holding pattern at the moment. Which is ok. As long as they're helping CD out, I'm fine with that!

Ah, we have somewhat different problems. I have a pretty thick skin where others' opinions of my writing are concerned (thank you, grad school) but I still feel shaky when it comes to writing fiction, like I'm juggling dozens of threads and trying to weave them into a pattern, or wondering about how a word or phrase "feels" or its aesthetic qualities -all sorts of stuff I never worried about writing history papers- and if the vision/inspiration/muse isn't there, it just doesn't happen, which again is different for me, because on plenty of occasions I've stayed up all night and made myself crank out papers because they were due the next day. (Thank God I have no deadlines in fanfiction) Add me to the list of people thinking you shouldn't worry about what others think -there's no right or wrong way to do it. If it's a genuine expression of you, and makes you happy, then it'll be good. Everything of yours that I've read so far has been good.

enable, enable, enable. Good luck in the writing LB. I too am looking forward to the Jun/Ken smut.

Hi all! While it may be a little late for Egobossler's week, Heather thought I should share this scan of an Egobossler cel that I just got. I'll leave it to you to decide if he has (A) that suave, dreamy look that drives the ladies wild, (B) that tired, sleepy look that comes from a long day of being clobbered by the Science Ninja Team, or (C) that "I've refilled my wine glass one too many times" look. And, while we're on Egobossler, here's a cel I have of that other member of the Egobossler family tree. You know him, you love him, he's the rightful heir to the Egobossler name, it's Kaseru! Enjoy! James

James, those are great! I vote for (c) in the Egobossler pic, BTW! And yes, I love Kaseru. Just think what would have become of the Egobosslers if HE had inherited the title, as he should have!

These are great pics James. Thank you for showing them to us.

Fantastic! I'll bet Amy will drool over these! I vote for (c) too!

Oops... wrong thread....

Thanks, James! Kaseru, to me, somehow looks like a cross between Ken and Joe. As for Ego, I go with C (and I should know...)
