The Intimidators

'The Intimidators' explores how a woefully outdated superhero fits into the new millennium, surrounded by new millennium people and technology," explained Kleid. "It compares and contrasts two different styles of 'heroing' and what it takes for a man with certain ideals to work alongside heroes who might as well be villains. In 1962, Astroman lent a hand during the Cuban Missile Crisis and while attempting to disarm a missile, accidentally set one loose - the resultant explosion catapulted him 44 years into the future to the site of another blast - generated during one of the Intimidators' battles. Unable to return to his own time, he's guilted by a government that created him to ally with a team he does not understand, respect or condone - the stereotypical 1960s super-hero transplanted into present.
