![]() Now it appeared we might be writing his swan song. I was all in favour of the update – but wished it could have waited until we were done.We'd done our best to give the character some dignity and authority. The strength of his willpower allows him to wield the universes mightiest weapon, a power ring controlled by his thoughts.
