Merge:Leather Boy

Leather Boy - Gene Lorrene misread Mr. Immortal's personal ad for "costumed adventurers", and left the group soon afterwards. To quote Mr. Immortal: "The less said about it, the better." (Leather Boy was not a member of the team when it was originally introduced in WCA #46, but was retconned into the roster in the 2005 Misassembled miniseries.) He later returned briefly (clad in a leather variation of Doctor Doom's mystical armor), seeking revenge for being ignored during the team's recent recruiting drive, and murdered Monkey Joe. Big Bertha, however, caught and defeated him by sitting on him (though this excited him sexually). His true name, Gene Lorrene, echoes that of Jean Loring, wife of the DC Comics superhero The Atom, who played a central role in the miniseries Identity Crisis, which the Misassembled series satirizes.
