Mr_Falcon Wrote:RJ often mentions the Equalizer. He is upset at this fictional representation of what he does, because people assume he does it for free 'like that guy on TV'. However, I see few similarities between RJ and the Equalizer. however, here is another TV Character from a short-lived show in the late 80's called Stingray. Actually, Stingray has many similar traits to Jack.
He is a mysterious man with no identity.
He fixes problems.
He alwyas demands payment (in a very very different form than RJ)
He is inventive like RJ, although he is a bit more physical being a marital arts expert.
Does anyone else remember this?

KRW
Mr_Falcon Wrote:Agree on both points. Do you see the similarities between him and Jack?

"The short-lived series had class and style. One of the nice touches was that whenever anyone attempted to run Ray's fingerprints, the match would come back either as someone he clearly was not, or as "Classified" by the D.O.D. When his plate was run, it would come back as registered to the White House or the Governor of the State."
Didn't Jack have his plate registered to a famous mobster?
