Posted by NTU-150 from September 12, 1998 (though likely not his first actual appearance) on September 18, 2001 at 12:02:07:
In Reply to: Alright folks... it's time to repost your character's first appearance! posted by Visionary on September 18, 2001 at 09:34:02:
After the teams were picked for the LOR and the LOLO over on the AMB, they got down to the business of fighting each other. Well, apparently NTU was left out of Zemo's story despite being a founding member of the League of Regulars. Like all good comic fans, he had an explanation ready to preserve continuity. ;-)
There may have been an NTU appearance that predates this one, and it's possible this isn't Enty's first attempt at writing either... but I like it and it serves.
Of course, the fact that it's based on the Vision's predicament back in the pages of Avengers doesn't influence me at all. Really.
Epiloge:
After their triumphant victory over the forces of Zemo, the League of Regulars return to the AMB Mansion.
Jarvis: That was one tough battle. But it was worth it. With our new members Pietro and FFF, I pity anyone who tries to beat us!
Lisa: (scratching her head) Hey, FFF, I'm glad you joined up and all, but (sniffs her hair) next time, consider foot powder.
FFF: Heh, sorry, Lisa.
(suddenly, a hologram of NTU-150 appears)
NTU-150: Greetings, Regulars. I trust peace has been restored.
Paradox: Yes. Too bad you couldn't make it, what with your body armor and three of your computers blowing up.
NTU-150: That is all right, Paradox. I feel that I serve a much more important purpose here in the manison while my armor and computers undergo repairs. My holographic form allows me access to the entire mansion and I manage to perform many duties.
Jarvis: By the way, NTU, did you retrieve my E-mails?
Lisa: What about my client meetings? Did you reschedule them?
Vision: Have you cut out all the spam from the AMB?
CMA: Did you join my league?
StriderKyo: How about my laundry?
Vision: Did you find out I'm Tomas yet?
NTU-150: Yes, I have performed all these tasks. But I do require assistance with the retrieval of spare parts. Jarvis, if you would be so kind...
Jarvis: GET IT YOURSELF!
NTU-150: Forgive me. I shall...Warning! Danger, League of Regulars! I am receiving a message on the Epsilon frequency! Hate Monger has been spotted on the WholeFamily Center website!
Paradox: Well, no time for rest, Leaguers. Gear up and let's move out! NTU-150, hold the fort.
NTU-150: Of course.
(Everyone starts to leave. Suddenly, NTU's hologram signals to FFF.)
NTU-150: Oh, excuse me. But before you go, I must inform you have apparently stepped in something.
FFF: Really, thanks. Gee, I wonder what I stepped on? (Peels of a small flat spiffy)
Lisa: Oh, spif! That's where you went! Are you OK?
spiffy: I'm a fern.
Paradox: Close enough. Let's go!
Next month: NTU-150 is still under repair! (Gee, and I was so excited about being part of the roster...)
And here are the responses from (who else?) Lisa:
OH YEAH! The LOL produces another hilarious spoofer! Too kewl, NTU!! *nnt*

Drat! I meant the LOR, of
course. Must have been a Freudian slip... ; ) - Lisa - 09/12/98 09:48:14

If Enty himself happens to be lurking out there, then perhaps he can add some
comments or dig up what he might consider to be his character's true first
appearance.
