Question about Fanatics

The Mighty Thor has a berzerker rage, and he's a hero!!

True, but the Klan are more rascist than religious.

The Ghost Dance Warrior is exactly what I was looking for. I was trying to remember them and was running into a wall. Thank you.

I was going to suggest just Ghost Dancer...shorter, more fun. IMO.

 

[Kal-el]

I will probably go with Ghost Dancer.

Well, you figure most Native American warriors could be considered fanatics.

... Well, Yes and No. "Warfare" has not always and everywhere been what we understand the term to be in the Western (European-derived) world.

Consider the importance of "counting coup" to certain Native American tribes after they had acquired horses -- wherein riding within hand-to-hand weapons range of your opponent and TOUCHING him with a coup stick (shaped rather like a traditional candy-cane, actually) was considered the epitome of valor.

This is not at all "fanatical" in the sense of believing yourself immune from bullets, having an unswerving belief in whatever your enemies don't, etc., etc.

... Not to mention the evidently rather peaceful Hopi, Navajo, "Anasazi", etc.

Whereas the Ghost Dancers did believe that they were impervious to bullets when they wore their ghost shirts. Immagine their shock then when they found out they were wrong.

So when will we be seeing that Ghost Dancer unit (chuckle... sigh)?

I put in the request, now its just a matter of somebody picking it up and running with it.
