Heroes Unlimited 2 Edition Cover

Did the character on the cover of the book ever get named or have any stats printed? I thought he did, but can't find it in my books.

Not to my knowledge.

I was Just figuring he was a Capt. USA sort of char...easy enough to impersonate.

The character is called USA1 and is described as a "techno-hero" - this is mentioned on page 2 of HU 2nd edition.
I remember Kevin saying somewhere that the concept for the character was a hardware power category hero, but I can't remember where! I don't think it ever got full stats published for it.

I just re-checked the book and the character was the brainchild of Jim Steranko, the artist responsible for the cover, and was supposedly at the time coming out in some form, somewhere other than just on the cover of the book - no idea if it ever did.

went through his history, looks like it didn't. makes sense, guy was in high demand, probably forgot the idea entirely somewhere. happens to the best of us.

Well what do you expect we don't have official rules for HU Vampires yet.

True, but I sure would like to see how they write his "Upward Tree-Cleaving Axe Power-Attack"...

I just want stats for his shot-gun axe.
Damn ICE/BCP/BorderPatrol! Damn everyone who won’t damn ICE/BCP/Border Patrol!! Damn everyone that won’t put lights in his windows and sit up all night damning CE/BCP/BorderPatrol!!!
If you support ICE/BCP/BorderPatrol at this point, you would have called the Gestapo on the people surreptitiously moving into your neighbor's attic and huffed that you were only following the law.
