I'll be honest, I didn't originally consider this week's nominee when I first brought back the PUP's on the basis that I thought he'd already done one. He's got to have gone the longest between being nominated and actually getting to do a profile, having been nominated way back on the first ever PUP. Like all the best 'machiners, he has an easily identifiable style that means you can tell whose work it is just by looking and his costume designs are always very well thought out and visually interesting. So, here you go Vengeance, this one is long over-due.
Online name used in HeroMachine environs: Vengeance
What is the secret origin of that name?: He is a character I made several years ago. He fights supernatural beings mostly

Ok guys, this will be the last PUP for a while, until I can think of other people to profile. If you've got any suggestions for people who are currently active that you'd like to see profiled or who you think deserve to be profiled, please feel free to give me a shout. I really enjoy this part of the blog and it'd be a shame to see it get retired (again).
