In a previous post, we looked at who I consider the most-underwhelming of the original Wanderers, Dartalg, Master of the Blowgun! (See...don't you feel a little stupider just saying that?)
Anyway, our ole buddy Dartalg is one of the characters who most-benefitted from his clone resurrection. Today, dear reader, we consider the most "prickly" of 31st century heroes: Dartalon!

As mentioned above, it seemed to me that Dartalon got the best upgrade of any of the Wanderers. He went from being a near-useless dude with a blow gun, to a guy whose body could generate its own weaponry. His darts could either be fired as projectiles, or used as Wolverine-like claws. In addition to all this, he also maintained his earlier practice of treating certain darts with explosives, sedatives, etc.
His orange/khaki look was (IMO) a major improvement over the old frumpy green outfit he originally had. Given all of that, I'd have expected him to be generally pleased with his new self. However, Dartalon wound up being the one who complained the most about how Clonus had turned him into a "monster." I'm sure that spiky form set him off some...but c'mon. He inhabits a world with characters like Blok, Tellus, and Wildfire. Dude...no one wants to hear you whining about how your really sharp body stubble is off-putting.
