I'll bet that's because his avatar is a pic of the late, great Jon-Erik Hexum (1957 - 1984) who played Phineas Bogg on Voyagers! in the early '80s. I was 13 when that show came on and, in retrospect, it helped me realize I was gay.
Tragically, Hexum was killed in an accident on the set of another program he was on.

I loved that show! It was retro-cheesy in such a fun way. Just HG Wellsian enough to be kind of familiar but science fiction-y time paradoxish enough to be comfortable and fun.
..and once in a while history accidentally happened.

That was Jeffrey Jones, played by Meeno Peluce, half-brother of Soleil-Moon Frye, who played Punky Brewster a few years later.

Sleeping with an LMB villain and turning him/her into an LMB ally is a tried and true successful method of defense!

I loved the show “Voyagers” as a little kid.
I actually used to pretend I was Jeffrey Jones, using an old military compass as my personal “Omni”. When Cobie and Lardy suggested that I tie my own LMBP subplot into a larger plot involving the old LMB nemesis, Phineas B. Fuddle, there was never any doubt in my mind what he was going to look like.
A time-traveling guy named Phineas… c’mon… no brainer.
And, in my mind at least… the “B,” of course, is for “Bogg”.

That avatar resembles a buddy of mine: Part-time animator/journalist and full-time smart ass.
Every time I read PBF's posts, I imagine my buddy talking.

Why am I reminded of the stand-up comic (hetero male) who said that he didn't believe his buddies who said things like, "Hey, one night of sex with ME could turn that gay woman straight !"
His reply was, "No, one night of sex with YOU would turn most straight women gay !"
I plan to dodge this always-thorny issue when I start role-playing by being from a race that reproduces asexually: Maybe by clipping its toenails every other year or so and using those to perpetuate itself.

I've always said the LMB needed more asexual characters!

Not to mention that the "offspring" grow to adulthood in about two weeks. This would almost totally eliminate the need to sit out a battle due to unavailability of decent childcare.
