Not at all. Left to right they are Noel Baxter (team joker), Jimmy ???(the kid), Blackie Gray (Roy's best friend), Charlie 'The Cat' Carter (goalkeeper), Roy Race, Lofty Peak (hard man), Mervyn Wallace (inconsistent genius), and Duncan MacKay (the Scot).

Like a savvier, more knowledgeable and more indestructible Marv. Just as key is the fact that he's out there in the world, with friends who actually look up to him, and the fact that he tangles with Nazis, Rasputin, vampires, werefrogs, dragons, ghosts, demons and manages to tell them all to shut up in so many words, cos he's got the Right Hand of Doom to back him up, you know. (Leee)
Best moment: From Wake the Devil, when he jumps out of the plane with the jetpack that doesn't work, stubbornly clicking the ignition without success while freefalling, and muttering, "Aw crap," which sums up his appeal: unprepossessing, straight-forward and with understated humor. (Leee)

ie, just like the comic!
Huk, the criticism you're making has absolutely no bearing on the movie "Hellboy" (unless of course Hellboy has been a top-tier character since 1930 and I just didn't notice).

As with most Pat Mills characters, Mek-Quake is only really worth reading before about 1988. But his catalogue of golden moments before then makes him a worthy inclusion, and he's one of the most memorable characters in 2000AD. He started as the Ro-Busters' disaster squad's resident bulldozer, and has had a chequered career since as a demolition robot, a war droid, an ABC Warrior and even Tharg's personal hitman. Throughout Mek-Quake has been venal, stupid, and enormously violent. He's also been the perfect henchman, which is the key to his character - he has a simple, eager thuggishness which would be sinister if it wasn't played for laughs.
Greatest Moment: Nemesis the Warlock Book III, where Mek-Quake's gleeful brutality reaches an apex as he destroys the Gothic Empire's artificial moon, causing it to rain down on the planet while he gives his signature cry of "Big jobs!"
