Well Ito's stuff is pretty abstract. This poor chaps just had his head and knees twisted around, a few things removed/redistributed, and reformatted. It's all very practical.

Short version, it's a sort of symbol with trilateral symmetry. But wikipedia will give you a more useful answer than I can.

I think that Screaming Idiot's modified spelling comes from turning it into a portmanteau with "hellion".

Wasn't Triskelion the place where James T. Kirk was made into a slave and forced to fight Angelique Pettyjohn?

Sorry for the delay, I forgot to bring my USB stick with me like three days in a row.


One of my most watched films of all time. Up there with Big Trouble in little China, the original Star Wars, and Robocop.

Looking at that... thing... in the last frame again has convinced me it is one of the creepiest things ever. Why did triskull feel the need to add the metal-enhanced, permanent smile?

Looks like finger bone enhanced to me.

Besides, it takes 17 muscles to smile, but 43 to frown, and probably in the area of at least 3 tendons and god knows how many entrails to try and alter that wittle baby face

Those are left over fingers (phalanges and metacarpals) from the hand/foot conversion.

That does make it all the creepier. And how far can it see with no eyes? Too far is definitely the right answer...

I still don't understand why anyone thought he was going to be anything else. Like a Star Trek transporter accident, he's essentially the 'evil' Heinrich Von Bastard.

And being the 'evil' version of a super villain, results may lean toward the mean jerkesque.

He can't be evil, he doesn't have a goatee!

I think people wanted him to be friendly because it was just amusing to have something that evil-looking to simply be misunderstood and looking for friends.
