A bunch of slightly disparate points (they are all in reference to above posts):<br/><br/>I too, have to wonder at the actual facility with which one could manage to maneuver ones food from ones plate to ones mouth while:<br/>a) wearing terminator armour<br/>b) with an activated force field? (isn't that part of their awesomeness, ie invul save?)<br/>c) a giant assault gun; sure, it's hands free, but it sticks out several feet from under the arm and hand! Probably be at least smacking everyone nearby with the barrels while trying to turn the wrist around enough to get a fork into the steak.<br/>d) well...okay, I<em>suppose</em>a chain-fist could do the job of a steak knife, it'd just be a lot messier and I'd put money down on at<em>least</em>scratching the silverware. :P<br/><br/>Note, the above is merely a feeble attempt at some levity. ;)<br/><br/>On the pissing contest, I agree with Kol, both the solitaire and wych would have a pretty decent chance, at least in melee, of taking the terminator marine. I say this only to lend my voice to that side of the 'balance of power' argument. It's not like either the wych or solitaire is likely to claim to match that ranged firepower, y'know?<br/><br/>And about that, about why we aren't constantly up in each others grills trying to waste each other? The answer here is pretty goddamn simple, folks: that wouldn't be very profitable.<br/><br/>I don't think any of our characters are what any of us would consider dumb, so while we may keep a close watch on each other, watch our butts and all that, we can probably all assume we all know we are much better off being together! We stick together, and struggle to get along with each other, because it's a mutual support system. Everyone brings something, and hopefully the combined elements make for something very good for everyone involved.<br/><br/>Doesn't that make sense?<br/><br/>And finally, yay! Venture Bros!  ;D
