The similarities are amazing. Admit it -- you all noticed this too.
Recently the first issue of Top Cow's ongoing monthly Tomb Raider comic was published. The merest of cursory glances reveals an obvious connection between Eat-Man and Tomb Raider. The young woman who stars in this TR book is plainly related to Bolt. You might have seen her somewhere... her first name's Lara, or something. Ah, but her surname... there lies our interest. Supposedly her name is "Croft". But, as you too have no doubt realised:

EXHIBIT A:

There. Only a moron could fail to see that Bolt and Lara are evidently siblings. It's readily apparent right away. Isn't it? Yes, I told you so.

EXHIBIT B:

The glasses, the coats, the guns. Genetics at work, children.

Beyond the startling visual correlations, there are further similarities. Lara is an Explorer of sorts, who travels the world engaging in perilous and knuckle-whitening adventures. She carries oodles of hi-tech weapons and equipment (though I suspect she doesn't carry them in precisely the same place Bolt carries his) and she's pretty much the best there is at what she does. And the conspiracy goes further than just Bolt and Lara -- get this:

EXHIBIT C:

HARTFORD COMPTON Lara's elderly manservant, a long-time associate of her family.	HARD An Explorer and rival to Bolt. Young and handsome.

And so another mystery is solved: it is remarkably clear that Compton and Hard are the EXACT SAME PERSON. Did they honestly expect to fool us?

Now, in addition to her handful of comic book appearances to date, this Miss Lara "Croft" also, I have been led to believe, stars in a series of "computer games". I haven't personally played any of these games, but a reliable source assures me that Lara regularly chows down on shrapnel and leaves a trail of heart-broken young babes behind her. Also she is sometimes followed by a dog in a bad mood.

Well, a fairly reliable source.
