Yeahp, Thugboy’s “AD&D characteristic” T-shirt dates back quite a while. Not sure, though, that six-years-ago proto-Thugboy quite measured up to the “18(00)” Strength stat, as he was clearly quite a bit less buff ’n’ burly back then.
Note that the “CHA:18” dude in the background made a cameo appearance in a Thugboy nightmare sequence in Empowered vol. 2.
