Julian was a natural and soon Poser 1 become a resounding success. His face was on the cover of every newspaper and magazine on the planet. Unfortunately, Julian was ill-prepared for such stardom. His alcoholism grew worse, and combined with a growing obsession with gambling, P1 Man was soon once again in dire straits. But the worst was yet to come. Poser 2 was a great advance over Poser 1, and the P2 characters rendered their predecessors obsolete. Julian was soon consumed by rage, despair, and jealousy. Screaming "I'm ugly and I don't even have any friggin' clothes!", P1 Man attempted to murder the new figures. He failed, but escaped the authorities and became a fugitive.
