Nine Roosevelts Against the Impossible!

Here’s a fun idea I’m playing with. Not sure what will come of it but I can see the art in my head, so that’s a good sign!

Theodore Roosevelt was truly a monumental figure in American history. His accomplishments read like a catalog of every child’s dreams – statesman, soldier, explorer, rancher, scholar, athlete, barbarian warlord, vampire, disembodied brain housed inside a mechanical man. His was a life well lived.

A many-faceted man; a hero to many. A man who cared deeply about the world around him. And when that world was threatened by the most deadly peril imaginable, Theodore Roosevelt was faced with a dilemma. Clearly he was the man for the job, and yet he couldn’t face it alone.

NINE ROOSEVELTS AGAINST THE IMPOSSIBLE!

There are nine Roosevelts.

Roosevelt-69: Sickly child with a voracious appetite for knowledge and a keen intellect

Roosevelt-78: Bright-eyed Harvard man, pugilist, scholar and all-around campus swain

Roosevelt-85: Trail-weary buckaroo, rancher, outdoorsman and deputy sheriff

Roosevelt-99: The Colonel, commander of Rough Rider volunteers, soldier and patriot

Roosevelt-06: Diplomat, Nobel Peace Prize winner, President of the United States of America

Roosevelt-10: African adventurer, hunter and owner of “Big Medicine”, the world’s largest rifle

Roosevelt-A: Baron Téodor of Wallachia, vampire and ladies man

Roosevelt-B: Lord of the Dab-Qasar highlands, destroyer of Krodor

Roosevelt-C: Disembodied brain in an armored Tesla robot

Further Roosevelts are possible. Roosevelt-95, New York City Police Commissioner and scourge of the underworld; Roosevelt-D, Reptilian Progressive; Roosevelt-90, obsessive lovesick romantic and Roosevelt-13, explorer, scientist and conqueror of the River of Doubt, are all good possibilities. Feel free to make up your own.
