I don’t know why dwarves lend themselves to gadgeteers so well. Just seems like a natural fit. There’s a classic Teen Titans villain who was a dwarf inventor, and I believe it’s a whole class in the old Shadowrun RPG. Maybe there’s a tendency to give them something to make up for a perceived physical deficiency. Then again, the typical fantasy dwarf is extremely tough and hardy, so who knows. Maybe it’s just cause they look cool with lots of pockets.

I made the jump to The Liberty Gang, too, and enjoyed that. I particularly like the idea of of the dwarf character. In my table-gaming days, when we ran Superheroes, I played a character named Roma Tucker; her superpower was the ability to become two dwarves, Tuck and Roll, with a mind link. They were acrobats and techno-geeks.
