I cannot believe that the list of agents pursuing you doesn't include one from M.I.6 who's wearing a tuxedo, carrying a Walther PPK 7.62mm, holding a martini (three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet shaken very well until it's ice-cold with a large thin slice of lemon peel added) standing beside a DB-series Aston Martin parked outside a casino on the French Riviera. For shame. What the heck were you thinkin'?  Yeah, I really did try to limit it to villains. I also excluded Agent Aika, who seems to be part of a pretty scandalous Japanese anime series.

I say go with Agent Banks. You would whip that little snot...  Good call! He'd wish he never left Malcolm in the Middle! Before it's too late, let me just add:

Thanks, BT (I can never settle on a good variation for BTackitt, and I don't think you want me using your name all the time.)! I'm also working on the cover for book 4 of the Powerless series. The text is in its final stages as well and the whole thing should be out the door within a month. I wrote all the books at the same time, so the fifth book has a solid draft already. Hopefully you're feeling good about the series through book 3!

No love for the T-1000? I have to vote for him because I met Robert Patrick recently.

Robert Patrick. No contest. He knows Henry Thomas, and together they can summon an alien force like no other.

@Phil: That second one looks mean! And not in a nice way! By the way, today's trivia question: How did the producers of the show come up with the name "Emma Peel"?
I give up. How?

I don't know the answer to the question about how the name Emma Peel came to be, however I do want to relate the highlight of my first trip to London in 1972. My wife and I went to the Old Vic Theatre's production of Tom Stoppard's play, "Jumpers", which starred Diana Rigg. Why was this so important, I got to see Emma Peel peel.

I give up. How?
When Honor Blackman left her Avengers role of Mrs. Cathy Gale to film Goldfinger, the producers started a search for a new female lead who would exude a lot of appeal for men. That requirement was shortened to Man-Appeal, and eventually to M-Appeal, which eventually became Mrs. Emma Peel.And there you have the story behind the origination of Mrs. Peel's name.

Yeah, what a sell-out. Hitman can NOT be happy about that.

I am totally torn. I love Smith and Hitman (a lot of men can't pull off that bald look). Decisions.  Decisions.  You should have them compete for who can take out Banks first. The winner gets your books. (Love the cover)
