Mayor Chow?
Toronto's mayor in 8-bit. In Issue #1 she takes on the Ticket Monster with a laser sword, and turns up in a different Halloween costume on every section page. A cartoon, not a likeness.

The Ticket Monster
A robot spider built out of ticket stubs that sheds +FEE signs. Eight smaller ones are hiding around this issue: catch them while signed in for Circul8r tokens.

New heroes join as the stories call for them. Watch for new faces next month.
Joins in a future issueHouse rules: Real people appear only as labelled cartoon cameos with a question mark on their name. They never get made-up quotes about real issues, and Circul8r never shows them endorsing anything.
