i can certainly see the resemblance, especially with the heart, but just who or what is this Scud character, i've not come across he/r/it before.

Interesting. Is SCUD pre- or post-DP?

In the future, assassins will be available from vending machines.

I looked over the site and I don't see any dates except that SCUD is copyright 1996 Rob Schrab. Making it Pre-DP, yes?

(A friend gave me a TPB of SCUD, and I haven't seen it or thought about it in ages. Until last night, when I finally got around to reading Doom Patrol - I'd looked at it before, but the issues I was given are those with the brotherhood of dada, whom I took to be the heroes. Took me a while to figure out who Doom Patrol were. SCUD, by the way, is pop-referential, hilarious, hyperviolent and fun. )

Nah, Morisson's run on Doom Patrol was early 90's pre-Vertigo, with the Brotherhood of Dada issues probably closer to 1991 if not earlier. I remember The Invisibles volume one being finished by summer '96, so DP was several years before that.

First appearance of Mr Nobody was in '89.

Christ, that makes me feel old.
