wm014 Typhoon

I had Typhoon as Tugboat in the original set list, but decided to switch him to his alter ego since he's only Tugboat for his opening click. As such at 30 points he may be the cheapest piece in HeroClix to feature an activation click. Tugboat was Hulk Hogan's lovable lumbering red and white striped companion. After a year of aiding the Hulkster in feuds such as against the massive Earthquake, Tugboat saw the error of his ways and turned to the darkside. Turning heel and teaming up with Earthquake, he changed his name to Typhoon and they became the enormously fat duo of the Natural Disasters. I considered making them a duo piece but thought that would be a slight to Earthquake, who is one of the better big man wrestlers in wrestling history and deserves his own piece. Still the Natural Disasters make a formidable duo in Clix form, as you'll see their double splash finishing maneuver come into play when they're thundering your way. Typhoon on his own wasn't much, but surprisingly enough he's still alive, has a normal job and a family... so kudos to you, Tugboat. Toot toot!
