The Top Trumps Gaggle Edition

 

 

 

 

 

 

Name: Tony Martinez

Height: Smaller than you

Dancing Ranking: 3rd

Special skills: Driving a white car, alcoholism

Weapons: Knowing look, contagious giggle

Notes: Although initially looking small and rather unimposing, Martinez ("Tony" to his friends) is actually someone to be feared. A good way to get past his strengths (see above) is to offer him free alcohol, and then run for cover. Return a day later and he won't remember anything about it.

Total Scariness: 6 out of 10 Price: 75p


 

Name: Danny Beusch

Height: Tall, with Mr Tickle-style arms

Dancing Ranking: 7th (depending on drunkeness)

Special skills: Being better than you at everything

Weapons: Insult-mongering, camp attack, surprise Chesney Hawkes opener

Notes: Created by mad scientists in a laboratory (possibly), Danny "Not Really Ben" Beusch is truly an adversary to be feared. Always on hand with a sharp comeback or witty retort, the best defence available at present appears to be complete masculinity, something unknown and therefore abhorrent to the Beuschmeister.

 

Total Scariness: 7 out of 10 Price: 80p


 

Name: Seldo Voss

Height: Tall, but v. small diameter

Dancing Ranking: Current joint 1st

Special skills: Deadline panics, socialising, wine gums

Weapons: Flailing wrists, handbag attack, unexpected seriousness

Notes: Operating under a codename to hide his true identity and pulling misleading faces for intelligence shots (see left) are just some of the ways Voss ensures his full powers are kept a closely guarded secret. Beware him.

Total Scariness: 8 out of 10 Price: 80p


Name: Kim Tate

Height: Tiny, however much she might try

Dancing Ranking: 4th

Special skills: Talking about doing work, artiness, artiness

Weapons: Magickal conversion powers (+1/+1), guile

Notes: Although she possesses no close-combat or direct weaponary, Tate's powers lie in stealth and subversion. Catching the enemy off guard, she lures them to the Dark Side, rendering little of their past life intact and secretly signing their futures over to her. Aiieee, etc.

Total Scariness: 9 out of 10 Price: £1.10


Name: James/Will

Height: Combined height: 11 foot

Dancing Ranking: 9th, even with four feet

Special skills: Having two heads, four arms, and (snip! - Ed)

Weapons: Being in two places at once, double-edged sword

Notes: The Gemini of the Gaggle world, the beast known as James/Will operates the vast proportion of time as a single entity. Sharing mind and body functions, this therefore rates as one of your most fearsome adversaries. Not only this, but James/Will will in special instances split up into its constituent parts, providing twice the challenge.
