As every hardcore Legion fan knows, LSH v.4 #112 is notable for two things:

1) Triad calling Ferro a stupid sissypants.

2) Murdermaton, one of the great breakout one-shot characters of the reboot.

Unfortunately, despite Murdermaton's awesomeness, his two partners were much less memorable. So, we need to to find a way to make them interesting. Ideas?

Gronk is actually from the distant pre-history past, and is an agent of the Time Trapper!

(I certainly can't remember what he looked like but his name lends itself to this!)

I think that fits the appearance.

Here's the graemlins for these guys:

Ah. I recognize the graemlins, which means this might be a classic LW case of the graemlins being more awesome than the characters themselves!

I have a theory that there's actually a great untold adventure of Cannus where he tracks down Howl!

Howl's real name is How-el.

Gronk was previously a psychiatrist for Sodam Yat.

I remember Triad chopping Ferro down to size, but Nothing about Murdermaton!

...so it's to the personal archives for a refresher. [Ringtoss]

Before teaming up with Murdermaton, Howl and Gronk were better known in the entertainment industry as Martin and Lewis.

New variation on this idea:

Gronk is de-splorped version of the Time Trapper's ugliest servant, splorped by Glorith back in Adventure #338!
