I hear ManBot is the most popular FF character in the office. Who is your favorite character and why?

I have to say I have a soft spot for ManBot as well. He was the first character I designed for Freedom Force. I was given the name and the vision of a man trapped in a metal suit just popped in my head. I don't know maybe it's those sad puppy dog eyes as well.

I also really like Tombstone from Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich. He was a character I originally designed for the first game but we could not fit him into the roster. Again, I've always liked the darker heroes and I thought Freedom Force needed a spooky character amongst the ranks. I think Ken got tired of me plopping this character in front of him anytime we thought we may have room for a new character. Finally I gave up and tossed him in the rejected concepts folder. When we needed some fresh blood for the new game I pulled him out again and tried to work him into a golden age hero slot. He is sort of The Phantom meets The Shadow. Ken still really wasn't fully behind the character but after suggesting I make the vacant skull face more on the tragic side the character stuck. With his new face Tombstone suddenly had pathos and a hook. We decided he shouldn't be a throw away 40's character so he was placed in the 60's so we could explore the character further.
