    So does anyone think the Bane of Kree looks like Edward Norton from American History X?

    I know they don't look exactly the same, but I think it's similar enough for the designers to have based the portrait off that picture. Is this just a coincidence? I checked and the film was released before Arcanum; also the film's tagline is "Violence as a way of Life" - from what I can remember about the Bane of Kree this is pretty applicable.

    All we need to find out now is which historical figures or actors inspired these portraits:

    Waromon is simple, he's a Komodo dragon. While not actors, the dragons, for quite some time, were considered legendary by people who hadn't been to Komodo and only heard tales of the beast. It wasn't until the thing was discovered by science that people took the islanders seriously.

    So everyone is in agreement that it looks like Edward Norton then? For ages I was thinking to myself "How come TimothyXL has a custom avatar of Edward Norton if his post count isn't in the thousands? Someone did a pretty good job on it too" - the Bane of Kree in my game uses the alternate picture by default so it took me until recently to realise.

    And god you lot really aren't on the ball are you? Obviously Kraka-Tur is based off Barney the Dinosaur.
