V-Ditty teases another first (re)appearance

Post by BugsySig »

I put this in the Spoiler area because it is not an official tease.

From V-Ditty's twitter:
“@robertvenditti: Just realized this scene I'm about to write will have the first appearance of another classic Valiant character. Hint: 141.”
My only thought is 141st infantry...which made me think of Armorines, but the 141st is an Army regiment. :?

Any other thoughts from our VALIANT experts? :hm:

William Michael Pendragon, a foe of Ninjak, witnesses his mother's killing in January of 1941.

That's all I got.

I checked X-O#14 page 1, but that is not the answer because that would be Turok.

1st series, 4th book, 1st page = Ken

We've guessed that Alexander Dorian will be the new Ken, but Valiant could also reintroduce Ken.

(It's a stretch, though, because that's not Ken's first appearance, so I don't know why 141 would be the hint.)

I checked on the year of General Cheng's first appearance: 210 BC, so it's not that...

Then there's this. Dare I post it?

3941: 1A, in an attempt to create the perfect robot fighter, begins conducting genetic experiments on humans. The experiments fail and the super-humans are driven insane. 1A, instead of killing them, sends them to an asylum on Phobos to live out the remainder of their days.
(Magnus Robot Fighter #12 – Trial and Error)


1(A) 41?

I also thought 141 could be ADA (letters of the alphabet)... but I don't know what A.D.A. would stand for. A.D. could be Aric Dacia... but the other "A" doesn't mean anything to me.

14-1 is N.A. --- Neville Alcott? Obviously he's needed if the Ninjak stories continue.

That might be the best guess so far... :hm:

1141 Tashi Khatun begins writing the Book of Geomancers.
(Conjecture: Khatun says he’s been writing it for “over fifty years.”)(Eternal Warrior #9)


I really doubt this is it. I would also like to say that I think it's awesome that people are checking the timeline. I'm glad it's useful.

The only alphabet I can think of with more than 40 characters would be the pre-reform (1705?) Russian alphabet. That monstrosity had something like 44 characters.

On OTV and here on the boards, Chiclo never ceases to amaze with his vast knowledge of numbers and languages. That's some Jeopardy knowledge.

Klingon has around the same, Vulcan too maybe, but I know they are made up and don't count.

Tengwar (Elvish) From Lord of the Rings has a massive Alphabet.

What about the Ethiopian alphabet ? 120 plus from memory

As for the clue I have no idea.
