And the loser of the month for January 2006 is...

Stride!

The first Loser of the Month award for 2006 goes to Stride the Tiger Fighter.  Why is a honorable fighter of times past renowned throughout the galaxy for his skill a loser, you ask? 

Because his hypocrisy with his so-called sense of honor is the only thing more lunch-blowing than that hideous hot pink and blue costume.  (And what's with that, anyway?  Way to embarrass the galaxy you represent running flying around in that super-hero reject getup!)  He came to Doom to show off how great he was for Zarkon by knocking me on my ass with his tiger ship after someone *grumble* neglected to point out to me that his craft wasn't an enemy craft...

...and then after Zarkon sent him out to defend planet Arus' challenge to our galaxy's honor (you know, that whole "we conquered you and you surrendered more times than I have fingers to keep count on but keep resisting" thing) he went and kicked Keith's ass only to decide that he was too "honorable" to kill.

Uh, what the fuck?  Our galaxy didn't send you out to represent us in battle to make nice with the enemy!  Much as I'm no fan of Queenie's, I have to say I cheered when I found out she called him on his sanctimonious crap and attacked him over on Arus.  Unfortunately Stride and his new Voltron Force buddies got the best of her, while Stride now hangs out with the Alliance and helps to "liberate" worlds from Zarkon's "evil" rule with other rebels.

How very honorable, to betray your own star system, one you were sworn to defend to the end, and instead stabbed in the back.

Get off my planet, loser!
