A talented DB reader submitted the following image in response to our earlier Cliff Asness post, wherein we learned the he has not only a lifelong love of but “identifies with” many a super hero, and suggested there might be a hope inside him that someone, one day, will create a character modeled after the AQR founder. We think the sketch bears a haunting resemblance to the man himself and view it as a solid first attempt at Quant Man (working title).
Thoughts? Is he missing anything? What are his powers? Etc.
(Cliff has not yet responded to a request for comment.)
Missing the stash of Anime porn… weirdo.
Where is the contempt on his face for Obama?
Take it from me, sidekicks lead to nothing but heartbreak.
More HP-12C
Immunity to powers of grammar and spelling.
Ability to combat vicious animal liars.
Markers should feature prominently in the forth coming series of “The Quant Man”.

Brad could be the sidekick, as “Shaggy.”
Good call with the sidekick…first panel should be him arguing to the point of physical attack with someone over the merits of a certain pizza – CG involvement a must. Maybe a little bit of the tat showing under his cuff – or is that reserved for when he rips his shirt off in anger. Well done random DB illustrator, well done.
Bess, could start an open thread so that we could provide The Observer with some much needed M&A due diligence, i.e., the length of time, measured in nanoseconds, it would take us to remove deal breaker.com from our favorites list if you were not appropriately compensated and/or you departed?
LMF as the love interest. Spinoff potential down the road.
Love interest is “Marybeth Wittee”, the cleverly-named and equally-sassy secretary who helps keep our caped Quantsader’s true identity secret. She also helps him develop new weapons that involve chains and spiked gloves, taking her cues from her days as a dominatrix.
I was thinking Betty Lessvin as the wise-cracking sidekick with a heart of gold.
I like what I see

I told you, no one is getting Sasha’s Sidekick.

**The supercomputer chip in his brain works only when a special charging plug is inserted you-know-where
**Weaknesses: Goldman secretaries, meatball sandwiches, trigonometry
**Known poison: Rogaine, Orlistat
He’s missing 50 lbs around the waistline
suspenders, glasses, TI-83+ instead of the hp12c suggested by somebody earlier
STEVE COHEN AKA “THE GOLDEN FLEECE” AS HIS UNDERSIZED BUT FEISTY SIDEKICK.
P.S. OBAMA AKA “HOPEY CHANGEY” AS HIS ARCH-NEMESIS, NATCH.
All superheros must have a secret identity… How does one keep their identity secret without a mask? Clearly Quant Man must have a mask. Something like this would be nice, but I am clearly biased…

A whiteboard to deflect the evil algorithms of his nemesis Star.
where’s his room full of chinese numerical analysts in the background? that blackbox isn’t going to code itself.
this is awesome
a very long anal bead tail
No codpiece? No utility suspenders? No Asmobile? How will he defeat evil Obama without an Asmobile to get around? I hear seven ambiguously enthusiastic potential sidekicks walked out of the interview after seeing his left Asfist and being annoyed at his question, “How do I know you are a boy genius.”
kb472y Really informative blog.Thanks Again. Fantastic.
