Incoming Valiant ramble
I am currently re-reading Rai (Valiant Entertainment edition) and I've noticed something....
I've always given Izak and Lord Vine 99 from Imperium and Life and death of Toyo Harada the same voice in my head and they act kinda similar in a lot of things.
Izak's backstory says that his people were created on New Japan using the genetic base of a creature that was caught floating in space. There's only one panel showing this ancestor but it kinda looks like a Vine to me.
Now, your average Vine isn't normally filled with rage and as bloodthirsty as Izak and they also have their telepathy. But if you look at LV99, he was especially designed to be a killer who can't stop until his target is no more, and he didn't have access to the Vine telepathy anymore.
And finally... Where was LV99 last seen in L&DoTH? He was climbing up the wire of the space elevator and then floating free above earth.
What are the chances he floated around earth in hybernation for hundreds of years before Father eventually caught him?
Wouldn't it be possible that Izak's ancestor is Lord Vine 99?
