SW10/WWW: Powernaut 1995 #22: I Guess I Have a Quest

[Scott Eiler]

Our Heroes go their separate ways... but what's coming up next year, and 
what *is* next year?  Still, Maximum Extremity 1995 is CONCLUDED!

It's pretty amazing I got back to a weekly schedule for four weeks.  So 
It's time for the Author's Notes, if I haven't put them out already...

I've had to decide whether the general public ever found out who this 
Powernaut was.  Based on the 2013 series, people were surprised even 
then to hear that theory.  So I'm declaring, Wyatt Ferguson never found 
out.  At least not by 1995.

I've also had to decide whether the Death of Nympho should be part of 
this story.  But in fairness, it always was.  Nympho's player was 
surprised to come into the game session wherein Total Conversion's fate 
was being determined.  Yes, Megaphone brought a nuke.  Nympho became the 
hero who stopped the *two* main villains from blowing up New York City 
and then flooding the remains...  Her player felt that session was 
intense.  But that's what she got for skipping several intervening 
sessions.  Still, her character has earned Hall of Fame status, and full 
inclusion in Powernaut Comics.

I've also had to decide whether Megaphone - The End should be part of 
this story.  But if not now, then when?  His character also departed the 
campaign at this time (or technically shortly thereafter, without any 
Powernaut involved).  His creator has also departed now.  So the time 
has come.  I had envisioned a different end for him...  but with a 
Powernaut around, people just act differently.
