Summary: Hey!  A new hero!

Okay, I'm trying a little experiment in cross-posting to see if I can post
to alt.comics.lnh by posting to racm, and setting the cross-post to a.c.lnh.
I'll just cross my fingers here (oop!) and we'll be off...

Introducing...
	
				GESTALT LAD!!!

Real Name: Unknown
Creator:  Mike "MikE" Escutia
	
History:
	Gestalt Lad is the creation of MikEscutia, who wanted to create a uniq-
ue hero to protect Net.Earth.  Raised in MikE's home account on Kepler.unh.edu,
GL was trained by a spiritualist, a mentalist, and MikE himself in the use of 
his powers.  He also trained under the 2nd-degree black belt karate instructor
known only as Thunderbread.  (It's a loooong story.)   
	Recently, Kepler's increased number of system crashes have made Ges-
talt Lad's virtual reality-like home dangerously unstable.  MikE, theorizing
that sinister forces were responsible for the crashes, and the near-total des-
truction of the vr-world within, sent Gestalt Lad on a mission to enlist the 
aid of the Legion of Net.Heroes to stop this menace.
	(Note: Net.Earth and all other worlds in the LNH Looniverse and other-
wise are referred to as being virtual reality since they are considered to be
fiction in most worlds outside Usenet.)

Powers:
	Gestalt Lad possesses the unusual (but popular) power to merge with 
another to form one being.  Unlike most gestalt beings, GL can merge with
*anyone*, just as long as he can touch that person. 
	Whenever GL merges with someone, the gestalt being that results has
the form of the mergee (the other person in the merger), costume and all, but
takes on the primary color of GL's costume (blue).
	The gestalt being also has a blue glow around him/her during times
of high activity.
	When Gestalt Lad merges with a superpowered being (such as another 
hero), the gestalt being has all of the mergee's powers, abilities, and tal-
ents, as well as the power to fly and generate a protective aura about it-
self (hence the blue glow).
	No matter who he merges with, Gestalt Lad is always the dominating 
mind and thus retains control of the gestalt body.  (Not that the mergee can
cause trouble after the merger is complete *if* his/her mind is sufficient-
ly stronger than GL's.)   
	Gestalt Lad can only keep the merger up for one hour before it re-
verses, and cannot re-merge with a person until the next storyline.
