As a Swede I am contractually obligated to love rotted fish so long as it’s been prepared like and is called surströmming, whatever my personal preferences or actual experience with the product.
It’s much like being in the elk cavalry in that regard.
That was my thought as well. (Actually my thought was “I wonder if he’s sworn to die after he’s killed off the last of his fellow mad geniuses?” but I’m going to claim that that’s close enough! ^_~).
Okay, I’m going to call it here; the Dane is actually one of Dr. Bram’s early experiments, a super-intelligent Great Dane with the personality of wanna-be world conqueror. Since such creatures do not do well at dog shows (trying to organize the other contestants into a private army, which the judges take points away for)(normally) he abandoned the experiment in favor of huskies instead.
See, this is the problem with being genre-savvy at the wrong time. The Heisenberg Narrative Principle says that in declaring someone the first to go one actually grants them at least a partial narrative immunity so that the person who scoffed at them can die first, and…
*blinks*
Wait a minute! I just scoffed at the Necropolis team, didn’t I? ^_^;;
I love the grins in the third panel.
Okay, which one’s the Dane again?
I don’t believe we’ve met The Dane yet, so I assume we’ll find out.
I’mo go with Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Everyone dies. EVERYONE.
That would also explain the ‘smell of herring’, actually…..
Beowulf’s also a good candidate…
My money’s on Ogier the Dane.
Whoever he is he sound awesome. Terrifying and awesome.
Obviously it’s 1980s action star, disgraced ninja, and insane cyborg Franz Rayner
well, now we know how “zombie Franklin” died
Oh no. Not Mad!Surströmming grenades. Surely that’s against the Mad!Geneva convention…
There’s a loophole for Swedes, but the Dane, He can’t be..?!
If it were Danish, it’d be surstrømming. #LanguageJokes #NotFunny
Norwegians would throw lutefisk, of course. Better, I understand, than eating it.

Better for whom?
Hamlet?
Personally, when I hear ‘the Dane’, I think Miller’s Crossing.
Excellent, another hubristic death coming my way!
Uh oh. Sounds like Frans Raynor.

Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer? [1] Or his Evil Twin?

We can only hope 😀
Unlikely, as much as I’d like for it to be true. Olaf Tryggvassen (after whom Othar is presumably named) was Norwegian, not Danish.
That was my thought as well. (Actually my thought was “I wonder if he’s sworn to die after he’s killed off the last of his fellow mad geniuses?” but I’m going to claim that that’s close enough! ^_~).
I’m fairly sure he answers that in the affirmative circa the escape from Castle Wulfenbach.

I love how a lot of us are coming up with Swedes and Norwegians because we don’t actually know that many Danish heros.
Is it just me, or do the two scientists from St. Charlies look REALLY similar in the face regions?
