>What kind of changes (race, background, special

>UF setting?As far as I can recall, we've technically only seen Kari on screen, and as BZA mentioned, she's from Bgtzl (we've seen her walk through a wall at least once).
Grant is mentioned in a TV listing, and although I suspect Kari might have been exaggerating somewhat when she said he was the Jawas' living god, it is well-known that he spends at least one month of every year on Tatooine, where he vanishes into the desert and reappears 30 days later disheveled, sunburned, and deeply pleased with himself. We believe he has a Lawrence of Arabia sort of thing going on there. As far as anyone knows he's just a regular human, though I wouldn't put it past him to be rockin' the Will-Smith-in-I, Robot bionic-man thing.
As for Tory, he hasn't appeared at all, but I have to admit that if I were plotting an appearance for him right now, I would be sorely tempted to continue the Legion of Super-Heroes riff Kari started and give him Ultra Boy's powers. So he can be invulnerable or super-strong or super-fast, but not more than one at the same time. Good for crashing bicycles, not so good for testing the slap-your-hands-together-on-the-sword-blade thing. :)
