So who are these chraracters?
Comic Boom Movie offered their thoughts: THS reckons “Collins” might be Curtiss Jackson, a.k.a. The Power Broker.
This would certainly make sense to the overarching plot, which focused on the experiments performed by Karl Malus and IGH. In the comics, Malus worked for Jackson and the two offered to enhance the strength and endurance of anyone willing to pay for it.
Could we even see the introduction of Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation, perhaps?
