So I actually used to talk to Dwayne mcduffie for a few years on AOL as a kid. He was really accessible to fans in the late 90s/early 2000s. And one of the weirder things he would Express to me were various weird stances and frustrations in comics he had. He believed steel was a RIP off of hardware. Which I thought was silly but now seeing how many concepts some milestone characters have gotten taken by others...I'm leaning more to changing my mind about.

Yeah, Steel was a hard rip off lol. Which sucks because it kind of undercut him since Steel had more panel time thanks to being in the Reign of the Supermen. McDuffie was a rare creative. I think he was way ahead of the curve when it came to connecting with fans. We lost a good one

God Damn, his armor is PACKED with stuff! Outside of the Static Shock cartoon I never heard of the "Dakotaverse" here in Europe. Hardware seems more interesting then I thought in the first place. So we have 4 years worth of comics before Milestone got bought up by DC. How many series were there in total along with Static and Icon? Did DC published Omnibus or Hardcovers of the 90's comics? Because outside of scans... it seems difficult to find here... Nice informative videos you have here. Keep it up!

It's interesting that Hardware came up w/ innovations which older characters implemented. After the Sai, the Kusarigama is my fav ancient martial arts weapon. I always thought it was a waste for MK's Scorpion (who's name should be spelled "Skorpion") to not have the kusarigama as his trademark weapon(s) instead of the chain kunai. Him having kusarigama would be like having two types of weapons in one, thus Scorpion wouldn't need both chain kunai and swords for battle.

Hardware was armed like a Transformer! As far as I know, there were 3 versions of his armor. 1.0 looks more like someone *cosplaying*... until the weapons come out. 2.0 (which he wears the longest) looks more like what you'd expect of a battle armor. 3.0 gets unveiled at the tail end of Hardware, in the last one or two issues. (Or in Milestone Forever.) His armor(s) come in 2 layers. The black/dark brown undersuit and face is all liquid metal and covers every inch of him -- even when you see his mouth open, he can't eat or drink in the suit. The silver, gold, and red portions are an outer layer.

In an earlier issue, I believe issue #10, I could be wrong, but it was up there in those earlier versions, that was when I knew he was an official bad ass!! There was an incident where his car had windows that successfully hid his identity and made him look like an old white woman!! That blew my mind!! Lol 🤣 I was hooked on that comic and ever since.. each issue kept me on the edge of my seat!!!
