  • Introduction Welcome Jumper, to One of the Myriad Earth's in the DC
    Introduction Welcome jumper, to one of the myriad Earth’s in the DC multiverse. Gotham - Batman Metropolis - Superman Fawcett - Captain Marvel Coast - Green Lantern Race Human - Free The predominant species of sapient being present on Earth. Besides Homo Sapiens, this option lets you choose to be a “caveman”, much like the Prehistoric Batman or Kru'll the Eternal. Gorilla - 100 CP Whether you’re from Gorilla City or just a regular enhanced gorilla like Monsieur Mallah, you are talking intelligent gorilla, stronger and tougher than the average human. Contrary to this option’s name you can choose to be a chimp, increasing your dexterity instead of your strength. Robot - Variable Cost A mechanical being, whether you were built a robot or originally a man matters not. As a robot you will no longer need to breath, sleep, eat or perform the other biological needs of organic life. Besides that you’ll be slightly more durable and stronger than the average human. For an ??? CP upgrade you become stronger and get integrated weaponry and rocket boosters. GI ROBOT, Robot Man, Proto Boolet proof, tank thrower, bend cannons - Tornado Robot with wind powers. Also, you can die again and again - Metal Men The work of one Doctor William Milton Magnus, combining advanced robotics with cutting edge nanokineticmetallurgy. Your body now consists of a single element of metal, and is capable of extreme changes in shape and mass. You could shrink to a size small enough to act as dental implants or grow large enough to bowl over building sized monsters like Chemo.

    INFORMATION TO USERS Thit material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While die most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Paga(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round bleck mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred imege. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or diart, etc., was part of the meterial being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" die material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The Heavy Commercial Vehicle Industry Has Been Concentrating on Euro 6 for So Long, You’D Be Forgiven for Thinking It Was the End of a Process
    The heavy commercial vehicle industry has been concentrating on Euro 6 for so long, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was the end of a process. It isn’t. Ian Norwell speaks to three senior engineers about what’s next he long-since familiar graphic that illustrates the dramatic reductions in exhaust emissions – especially Tparticulates and oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) – achieved on the journey from Euro 1 to Euro 6, is undeniably impressive. It’s been a 20-year trail. But while particulates, NOx, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and ammonia have taken a pummelling, one gaseous emission has kept itself out of the limelight. We’re talking about carbon dioxide and it’s surprising, because CO2 is probably the best-known villain of the greenhouse gas gang. And it correlates directly with fuel consumption and costs. So I travelled to Eindhoven, Munich and Birmingham to explore what’s likely to happen next, speaking to Ron Borsboom, chief engineer at DAF Trucks, Stefan Knecht, senior vice-president of engineering at MAN, and Nick Blake, sales and be dusting off our chemistry textbooks.

A really strange, absurd, and surreal collectionBy Jim DavisThis is the second Metal Men archive appearing a full 7 years after the first. Since then the DC Archives series has gone through a number of changes. After flirting with cancellation with maybe 1 or 2 archives a year, the series has rebounded. The paper stock has been switched to a thinner, glossier type. That in turn has allowed for a larger page count without a big jump in overall thickness. There are a full 15 issues in this volume compared to 9 issues in the first (which included the try out Showcase issues).Metal Men was a *strange* feature. On the surface it reads as if written for 5 year olds. The plots are absurd and puerile. The menaces always are some sort of robot which seem to inhabit every asteroid in the solar system. With story titles like "Birthday Cake for a Cannibal Robot!" you know you're not getting Shakespeare.But at an entirely different level the stories display a lot of charm and humor.
