But they introduce like 50 other types of anthropomorphs.
The origins don't matter if you've got a bunch of similar beings just running around. Hell some of them had been just chillin' on Earth forever.

Yeah, Archie's like that too (not surprising, it was written by a Mirage writer).
Honestly, I'm fine with more variety in the origins, rather than every anthopomorph being a product of Utrom Mutagen (I vastly prefer Slash as an alien rather than a mutant, for example), but it does make the "mutant ban" seem a little silly.
Anyway, given the "Road Warrior" inspired look of the E&L designs, I wonder if they wouldn't work as part of a post-apocalyptic future story rather than a "present day" story. Maybe, they'd have worked as part of the Palladium RPG's "After The Bomb" scenario, or the future set issues of "Tales".
