Gemini the Wizard here is one of the few badguys to live long enough to tangle with Thundarr the Barbarian in two different episodes. I love the wizards in the world of Thundarr. Almost all of them are mutated techno-monsters who left their humanity behind long ago. Gemini's particular deal is that he has two faces and a spinning neck. Most of the time you can deal with the friendly, benevolent, soft-spoken face. But piss him off and his head rotates 180 degrees and the angry, yelling, zap-you-with-eyebeams persona emerges.
Sniderman has D&D type stats for Gemini over at The Savage AfterWorld.

Yeah...I'm not so sure Gemini's first face is friendly and benevolent given the evidence presented in the two episodes. More "less ranty, wheedling-voiced evil" than his other face. ;)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Thundar Wizards were all Murray Buzinski techno-nerd hackers before the end-times? Poor souls were all tapped into the internet at the same time when an entity from beyond entered our universe through a tear in space-time driving them mad and lifting them above the millions of other doomed souls.
ReplyDeleteWith each wizard toppled the entity from beyond regains a little bit of power it lost on that day so long ago...

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link and shout-out! Actually, I have a handful of Thundarr wizards statted up:

Yondo
Queen Stryia
Gemini
Been meaning to stat up Circe the Witch too.
Of course, Gemini's OTHER deal is that he sounds just like Fred Flintstone...
ReplyDeleteYou should have a regular Gemini feature on the blog, like you used to have for Mr. T! Just sayin...
ReplyDeleteAnyone know the name of the shirtless sorcerer guy in the intro with the helmet+skirt combo? I love that guy.
ReplyDeleteThat show was awesome! A fantastic D&D and Gamma World mashup. The wizards weird techno-magic was always interesting.
ReplyDeleteAh, so that's what the two-faced Smilers and Winders, in the Doctor Who episode The Beast Below, were based on...
ReplyDeleteAwesome choice. Coincidentally there was an asteroid that passed between the Earth and Moon recently and that made me think of the opening sequence of Thundarr.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's more convincing than the last lad.
