Episode 122: Gatecrasher & Technet (feat. Jadzia Axelrod)

About this episode

In this episode, Connor Goldsmith and guest Jadzia Axelrod explore the characters Gatecrasher and Technet from the comic book universe.

In Episode 122 of CEREBRO, Connor and DC writer Jadzia Axelrod ( Hawkgirl, Galaxy ) traverse the multiverse with the gregarious Gatecrasher and her temperamental Technet! Created by Jamie Delano and Alan Davis, this interdimensional, time-traveling cadre of bounty hunters are best known as foes — and sometime friends — of Captain Britain and Excalibur. They are an iteration on a similar earlier team, the Special Executive, which was created by Alan Moore with a succession of artists: David Lloyd, Steve Dillon, and then Davis. An oddball gang of alien misfits, Technet have become iconic despite their relatively scanty publication history because they're simply that memorable. If you grew up reading classic Excalibur , you're likely to throw Technet into a comic book at some point. The CEREBRO character file on Technet begins at 43:38. (Content Advisory: Gatecrasher and Technet are generally pretty lighthearted, but they are adjacent to stories involving sexual violence, substance abuse, and suicide.)
