Holding out for Heroes: Comic Book Resources talks to David Yurkovich about his amibitious Less Than Heroes series from Top Shelf. Heck, I'm buying it just because of Yurkovich's character descriptions:

"Threshold is a quartet of super-heroes based in Philadelphia, PA, and whose members are:

"Recoil (a non-powered super-hero with an obsessive-compulsive dental hygiene disorder, named after the Depeche Mode spin-off band)

"Cosmopolitan (an 'alternative-magic' magician who was either named after the popular women's magazine or the drink, or perhaps both)

"Mr. Malevolence (the team's resident strong guy who, contrary to his nom de plume, is actually quite nice and extremely mellow, hence his mellow surfer first name, Chad)

"Meridian (the only female member of the team; she was named after a now defunct savings and loan in Philadelphia [that I miss dearly to this day!]).

"As for the team's name, Threshold was inspired from a song lyric by New York's lower east side post-punk machine rockers Chemlab."
