Description
Name: Norton
Origin: USA
Fighting style: Karate
Design notes: Hulk Hogan + Chuck Norris + Mr. Karate = profit? This design is the culmination of a handful of different ideas. The first idea I had was basically "karate cowboy", which seemed appropriately silly for an American character. And aside from cowboys nothing seems more American than Hulk Hogan, so why not. The well-worn Hong Kong movie trope of western martial arts champions being henchmen also inspired me to subvert the All-American hero archetype and make him a villain instead (which is kind of where the Mr. Karate inspiration comes in). I reckon he would make a good right-hand man to whatever the final boss may be... but since he or she doesn't exist yet, for now this guy is the boss. I guess the "real" boss would be unveiled in the sequel
