[UA] (OT) Kevin Matchstick

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

Someone asked me to explain a reference to Kevin
Matchstick I threw in earlier, but I accidentally
deleted the message.

Kevin Matchstick is the main character in Matt
Wagner's /MAGE/ comic books.  He's kind of like an
Avatar of the True King, only he gets the power to be
indestructible while on quests against supernatural
monsters.

He also has a baseball bat which contains the
"essence" of Excaliber. I dunno, did Barbarosa have a
magic sword?  Maybe Matchstick isn't as much an
archetype of the True King as, well, a Monster Slayer.
