Well, if Obscure Trivia Lad were alive, Obscure Trivia Lad would mention
that Cannon Fodder is usually the test subject of many a net.hero's
(and villain's) powers.  He usually dies in every issue he appears
in, only to "mysteriously" be returned the next issue.  Pointless
Death Man CAUSES the pointless death of OTHER characters (trust
Obscure Trivia Lad on THIS one.  Obscure Trivia Lad speaks from
experience).  Introducing Pointless Death Man to Cannon Fodder, while
it would seem to be a match made in heaven, would actually be one
of the most redundant meetings in comics history.

That fool, Writer-With-Integrity.  However, he was killed off quite
a while ago, it seems (although it's been rumored that his spirit
still lurks in various independents and even the rare mainstream),
so we're not sure if he could still do this.     :)
