Evo is a comic book character from DC Comics/Wildstorm Comics. Real name, Michael Heller, was a member of the super human team DV8.
History [link]
Michael Heller was one of the few young men and women selected to be part of Ivana Baiul's Gen¹³ project at International Operations. Heller gladly agreed to join the program because it, as he put it, " it beats spending eight months in juvie hall."
After becoming fully Gen-Active at Project: Genesis, Michael was gifted with the ability of trans-species morphing. Evo could turn himself into a humanoid bat, wolf or amphibian. He was code named Evo, based on these unique abilities. However, Evo was not of the first group of teens to be made gen-active by Ivana. After Ivana had lost her first group to John Lynch and a well played escape effort, Evo was drafted into Ivana's next group, known as the Deviants.
Already a troubled young man before being drafted into the Deviants, life on the team only fueled Evo's darker impulses. He expressed the desire to urinate on things to mark it as his, though it is not known if he actually did so. Things were only made worse as he became the avoided member of the group, seen as immature and unneeded by many of his teammates. He began to relish killing and the use of drugs, both easily available to him in his new position.
After the end of the DV8 series Evo was captured by the NYPD and sent to the Purgatory Max prison for superhumans in Antarctica for killing a police officer. Finally faced with the consequences of his actions, Evo resolved to try and turn his life around. He got the chance when he helped save the life of the hero Backlash during a riot at the prison.
Evo's current status is unknown.
Powers [link]

In his bat-like from, he has wings that allow him to fly, and excellent night-vision and sonar. And in his amphibian form, he can breathe underwater, and has incredible swimming ability.

Evo (magazine)
Evo is a British automobile magazine dedicated to performance cars, from hot hatches to supercars.
History and profile
The first issue was produced in November 1998 as an unofficial successor to the monthly motoring magazine Performance Car, which had been closed and integrated into Car magazine by publisher Emap. "Evo" is published 13 times a year and is part of the Dennis Publishing stable of magazines. The Evo offices are situated in Wollaston, Northamptonshire. The magazine is edited by Nick Trott.
Much of what Evo is today has evolved from Performance Car. Writers such as Richard Meaden, David Vivian, John Barker (motoring journalist), and Peter Tomalin are some of the familiar faces who worked on both titles. Henry Catchpole and Jethro Bovingdon are now also regular test drivers and features writers. Russell Bulgin also contributed to the magazine. Nick Trott is evo's current editor, with former editors including Peter Tomalin, John Barker and Richard Meaden. Harry Metcalfe, who also served as editor, is the editorial director and founder.
London Underground rolling stock
London Underground rolling stock includes the electric multiple units that run on the London Underground. The trains come in two sizes, smaller deep-tube trains and larger sub-surface trains that are of a similar size to those on British main lines. New trains are designed for the maximum number of standing passengers and for speed of access to the cars.
Services started in 1863 when the Metropolitan Railway opened using steam locomotives hauling gas-lit wooden carriages, braked from guards' compartment. In 1890, the first tube railway opened, using electric locomotives hauling carriages with small windows, nicknamed "padded cells". Other tube railways opened in the early 20th century using electric multiple units known as gate stock, as access to was via lattice gates at each end of the car. The earlier railways had electrified the underground sections of their lines by 1907. Pneumatic sliding doors were introduced on tube trains in 1919 and sub-surface trains in the late 1930s. Until the early 1960s an electric locomotive was exchanged for a steam locomotive on Metropolitan line services beyond Rickmansworth. The Victoria line opened in the late 1960s using Automatic Train Operation (ATO), and the last trains ran with a guard in 2000. As of March 2013 the Central, Jubilee and Northern lines also use forms of ATO, the latter two are called TBTC (Transmission Based Train Control).
Terminator 2 (console)
Terminator 2 (Chinese: 终结者二; pinyin: Zhōngjié zhě èr; real console name Super Design Ending-Man BS-500 AS) was a video game console sold in Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, India, Kenya and Hungary (where it was known as Sárgakazettás nintendo - Nintendo with yellow cartridges). It was also sold in Italy with the name "top consolle". In Spain it was usually received as a marketing gift for those assisting sales conferences organized by different companies, usually by assisting to a hotel as a promotional tool. It was a hardware clone of the Nintendo Famicom.
Hardware
Background
This particular Nintendo-clone was hugely popular in Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria,Romania, Pakistan, India, Kenya, Iran and Bosnia, where it has gained cult status, and is still widely available on auction websites and flea markets. Due to economical restraints, the fourth generation consoles such as the Mega Drive or SNES were not popular in these countries except Bulgaria, where Sega had an official distributor of the Mega Drive. The previous generation remained highly popular, particularly Terminator 2 which was the most successful NES clone. It left a mark in pop culture and 1990s youth, establishing itself as antonomasia for 8-bit video gaming, to the point of being more popular than the original.
Deathstroke
Deathstroke (real name Slade Joseph Wilson) is a fictional character who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. He is a mercenary and assassin who first appeared in The New Teen Titans (vol. 1) #2 (1980).Wizard magazine rated him the 24th greatest villain of all time. Also, in 2009, Deathstroke was ranked as IGN's 32nd greatest comic book villain of all time.
Originally a villain for the Teen Titans, writers have developed him over the years as an adversary of other heroes such as Batman, Atom (Ray Palmer) and Green Arrow, establishing parallels between him and Batman and a deep-seated grudge between him and Green Arrow. The character has been substantially adapted from comics into other media, including several Batman and Justice League video games and animated films, the Teen Titans animated series, and the live action series Arrow where he is portrayed by Manu Bennett.
Publication history
Deathstroke the Terminator first appeared in 1980, in the second issue of the book New Teen Titans. He was originally introduced as "the Terminator", a mercenary who was completing the terms of a contract undertaken by his son Ravager.
Terminator (character concept)
In the Terminator film series, a terminator is an autonomous robot, typically humanoid, originally conceived as a virtually indestructible soldier, infiltrator and assassin.
James Cameron introduced the first terminator character in the 1984 film The Terminator, featuring a single android simply called "The Terminator", portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. When later Terminator films introduced additional models, some sources retroactively gave Schwarzenegger's character a model number, leading.Herrera
Physical characteristics
Humanoid terminators
In the Terminator universe, a terminator is a formidable "cybernetic organism", robotic assassin and soldier, designed by the military supercomputer Skynet for infiltration and combat duty, towards the ultimate goal of exterminating the human resistance. Terminators are indistinguishable from humans, can speak naturally, copy the voices of others, read human handwriting, and even sweat, smell, and bleed. Because dogs are able to smell the difference, the human resistance uses dogs to help spot them with German Shepherds being the favorite breed. In addition, Terminators can detect their fellow androids and other types of Skynet-related units when they are nearby, as demonstrated in the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Terminator Genisys.
