Some of Viho’s best inventions:
Ultrasonnogram: for mineral densities deep scans 1975. Adapted for fine scans in archaeology in 1977 and adapted to other uses from 1975-1985.
Hoverchair To compensate for his physical impairments, Dr. Ciquala typically uses a Hoverchair, which enables rapid movement. It also has a satellite link to a supercomputer and a powerpoint projector. Hoverchair v1 built in 1992 and minor improvements addes since then.
Hulk mark III To facilitate heavy lifting around the lab, he created a robo-suit, which is 8 feet tall. His hoverchair docks into the chest of Hulk and his head is visible from the top. A retractable helmet will protect his head when working on a construction site. It is equipped with servomotors, which drive boosted locomotion and which permit rapid extension of the arms or legs to reach nearby supplies and tools. Hulk mk I created in 1975 was primitive in comparison to the current Hulk mk III which was completed in 1994.
Hulk mark IV An upgraded version of the Hulk is currently in progress, featuring increased servomotor power and novel alloy shell.
SCERP Dr. Ciquala’s expertise is often called upon in the scientific investigation of various earthly phenomena. Analysis of the minerologic content of volcanos, exploration of deep sea vents, observation of the giant squid in its natural habitat. He was the first “disabled” person to fly in the space shuttle to perform physics experiments in zero gravity. For such pursuits, he has created an environmental exploration suit "Scuba". Scuba can tolerate both the extreme pressure of the deep sea and the extreme vacuum of space. It is equipped with jet propulsion for underwater and airborne travel. Constructed to resist thermal extremes, SCUBA can explore lava vents as well as arctic caves. It is equipped with four manipulator arms and is capable of on the spot minerologic, radiologic and microscopic analysis. SCERP v1 was built in 1979 for investigation of lava flows. v2 for deep sea investigation was built in 1983 and v3 including modifications allowing use in space and flight in 1990.
Automated DNA Sequencer Designed with the hope of identifying genetic changes in New Men, the DNA sequencer enabled the human genome project, but failed to identify a genetic component for the New Men's special abilities.
Inspiration
Inspired by the characters Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. from the Cartoon Network show "The Venture Brothers" [[1]] and the Amazing Screw On Head [[2]].
Themes
Despite the inspiration for the character, his thematic elements are not found in either Jonas Venture Jr. or the Amazing Screw on Head.
Themes:
1) Overcoming odds. Conquering physical, economic and social limitations by the use of force of will and intellect to succeed in life.
2) Living with adversity. Despite having conquered the demons in his life and succeeded, he is nevertheless an outcast due to his extreme dwarfism.
3) American Dream. Having come from an native american reservation and with his physical disabilities he has risen to the top. This is the american dream, pulling one self up by the boot straps.
4) Pride. The correlate to the american dream. Anyone can pull themselves up by the bootstraps. Threfore, anyone who has not done so has some fault in their motivation.

Venture Industries Employees
- Dr. Henry Siskawitz
Physicist (age 55)
Dr. Siskowitz had a successful career in academics at the University of Washington, a young fully tenured professor in Physics. At 30 years old, he realized that he hated writing grants and supervising graduate students. He wanted to get back to something more real, so when Dr. Ciquala mentioned his new startup, Venture Industries, Siskowitz was immediately drawn and asked Ciquala if there might be a place for a physicist with a lot of practical knowledge. Indeed, there was. He has been with Venture Industries since its inception in 1976.
- Dr. Allison Andrews
Metallurgist (age 31)
Allison entered graduate school in chemistry with an interest in blendings. In the kitchen she was famous amongst her friends for her creative concoctions. In the lab, she became famous amongst her colleagues for blending chromium, aluminum, iron III and palladium to create a new incredibly strong alloy. She was courted by Dow and Dupont, but the offer from a small company caught her attention because of the intellectual giants who headed it: none other than Viho Ciquala and Henry Siskawitz. The company of such genius was impossible to pass up. Of course the pay was not as good as in big industry, but she was more interested in the freedom of intellectual exploration that Venture Industries promised. After a few successful inventions, the pay turned out to be phenomenal. Joined Venture Industries 1989. Hobbies: riding her horse.
- Bob Seebo
PR and Advertising (age 41)
Got his MBA from Harvard. Undergraduate also at Harvard BA in Political Science and minor in Classics. Has been with Venture Industries since 1980.
- Les Jackson
Mechanic (age 55)
Motorcycle riding, handlebar mustache, the whole nine yards. Enlisted in the army in 1964 with unfortunate timing, as US troops were sent to Vietnam only a year later. Les served in the motor pool, first as a helicopter pilot, but later retrained as a mechanic after demonstrating significant innate talent performing in combat repairs. Disillusioned after the war, Les took to a life on the road. He joined the Hells Angels, traveling in those circles for several years. In that time, he garnered a reputation for doing stunning custom jobs on Harley Davisons motorcycles, which drew the attention of one Viho Ciquala. Started working for Venture Industries in 1982.
- Kanuna Polianana
Mechanic (age 45)
Kanuna Polianana has enjoyed a variety of professions. Currently he works for Viho, excercising his mechanical prowess. He was born on the Big Island in Hawaii. In his youth he eyed the heavyweight boxing champions belt, but found that he wasn't that much of a monster after all. Back on the island, he worked part time as a SCUBA guide and part time as a paramedic, tending mostly tourists with sun burns but also near drownings and more severe accidents. As he grew tired of these pursuits he went to the San Francisco Cullinary Academy and spent several years as a chef in a high class seafood restraunt overlooking the golden gate. Since childhood, however, he's loved to fix things and spent his adolescence repeatedly retooling a 67 mustang. He always took these skills for granted, fixing the SCUBA boat or repairing some equipment in their ambulance. Finally he decided to make his next career arise from his early talents, and started a shop doing custom work for antique cars. Apparently he became somewhat famous, because one day in 1985 a short dude in a leather jacket offered him a job that he couldn't refuse. 10 years later, it seems like he's finally found something he can stick with.
- Aimee Zie
Programmer (age 25)
Immigrated from China when 10 years old. Joined Venture Industries in 1994. Has a past history in some shady hacking community but has left all that behind.
- May Weathers
Engineer (age 55)
A woman engineer? What are you looking at, I’ll kick your ass! Joined Venture industries in 1978
- Joline Kelly
Secretary (age 26)
Joline and her fiance Mark love to travel, but the income of a struggling artist and a budding novelist don't really allow for jet setting. She met Kanuna three years ago, he was piloting the cesna while she learned to sky dive. Kanuna spoke gushingly of his employer who was looking for a new secretary, and who apparently travelled frequently around the world (he was actually a mechanic, and only flew the cesna on the weekends for fun). Viho was looking for a secretary/accountant/jet pilot all in one, and Joline was a well recommended administrative assistant, and her quick intellect impressed Viho so much that he hired her and sent her to school to learn accounting and how to fly a Lear Jet. Now her travels with Mark are on the job as she pilots Viho's Lear jet when he goes to conferences. Hired in 1992.
