You may have noticed a passing resemblance between this Russell and some actor named Russell in the 1992 feel-good movie Romper Stomper. Its probably your imagination.

Isn’t Russell the one who tried to kill them both during the Big Initiation Beatdown?
Nice to see that they got past that bad first impression. 🙂
He’s not such a bad guy once you get to know him…or maybe he’s just not “as bad” of a guy.
Isn’t that the same guy who tried to kill them both with a wrench when they were first recruited?
Yep yep. It sounds like they’ve all gotten to know each other (or at least their first names), and it’s one big happy family that chases one another with switchblades.
Looks like Scap’s done a good job of fostering camaraderie among his troops, given how we last saw these two interacting.
The alcohol he gives them had probably lead to plenty of moments of inebriated friendship-making. Works for me!
Oh hey it’s totally Bombastar.
Or Homestar.
Good to see there’s not any particularly hard feelings about the whole free-for-all back in Scapulajugend. I mean, enough time and training has passed that it was probably obvious, but good to actually see it.
I have to wonder if Harkin has actually been on any missions. With those masks, it usually looks like generic faceless troops are the ones sent.
If only they had recruited Sinistar. That bastards scares the hell out of everyone (well, everyone who is old enough to remember him. “RUN, RUN, RUN, COWARD! BEWARE, COWARD!”).
If Harkin has been on any missions he was most likely given menial tasks like loading up stolen money or making sure everyone’s guns had ammo. Let’s face it, he’s probably useless for anything outside of griping.
How to link a subplot about subs to the Big Story.
A useful demonstration along the lines of ‘How Not to be Seen’.
As long as something, or better someone, explodes that’s fine with me.
Awww! Everybody beat me on mentioning the irony of asking for protection from someone who had tried to kill in the past.
I guess there’s always the irony of a Nazi associating with an effeminate snot…then again, the Nazis had already dealt with Herman Göring.
Haw haw! Picking on dead people is easy!
Just for the future, I kinda hope Russell survives whatever inevitable explosion of the unit is about to be triggered by lurking sinister figure, Jemini’s awakening, and the inevitable conflict with Sharkmouth. I kinda like the guy. I liked him when he was in homicidal wrench-monkey mode and I like him now that he’s in chilled out mode, and I find a lot of characters I don’t like in one or the other.
Funny thing, I’ve made a lot of good, lasting friends recovering from the very brawls we beat each other stupid in, so this kind of easy camaderie is very realistic to me at least! Heck one guy (Big Black Don) and I fought for so long we ended up just calling it quits and going for shawarma. We were just too damn arm sore to keep swinging.
Hey, it works for the Irish family. You really can’t trust someone until they’ve slammed your head onto a bar stool!
