#26 Killjoy
When his family was accidentally killed by a mafia hitman dressed as a clown with remarkably bad aim, Fred Keep swore to exact revenge on organized crime and/or humor in bad taste.
Day 25-Sickly
Sickly contains every disease within her body. She can transfer them to others through the touch of her fingertips. She can control which disease and the intensity that she gives to another person. The only problem is the transfer is one way, she can give to another person, but she can’t take it back or cure it. Sickly herself is immune to all diseases and sickness.

Day 25 | Cletus King – Rock n’ Rolling Demon Fighter
2012 – DAY 25
All characters are created by my 5 year-old son, The Junior Partner.  He has either drawn these characters on his own and I have recreated them here, or he has sat at my elbow dictating design and conceptual ideas like a creative, but frenetic, taskmaster.
CLETUS KING
Cletus King is a rock star who is also one of the leading demon fighters of our universe.  He is forever locked in an eternal game of one-up-manship  wit a particular demon who wants to steal his music.  This demon is “super powerful but only the music can hurt him.”  Cletus King uses his affiliation with a government demon fighting agency to help his war on evil but also to help him out fo situations such as when he is locked out of his concert hall and needs to get his notebook where he keeps his lyrics and music.  Instead of saying amgic words, Cletus King sings his songs.  He also has the ability to make his tattoos become real.  he cannot make living things, but weapons, fire, water…that is right in his wheel house.  Some fo his tattoos are strategically placed for quick activation such as batarangs on his thumbs and Wolverine claws on his knuckles  He also has tattoos of shields, swords, nets, bows and arrows, etc.  he also has a guitar pick tattoo on his right forefinger so he can rock out whenever he needs to.
#24 – Blowout (Kyle Murray)
Kyle should not be a criminal, a fugitive, and a killer. He was a reasonable, if unremarkable student from a small, pleasant city, and if he’d applied himself in community college, could’ve gone on to higher education. He was a talented writer, and had even shown some aptitude as a long-distance runner.
Kyle was also, however, petty, vindictive, greedy and callous, always obsessed with showing his “dominanceâ€. Over rivals, over law enforcement, over anyone who thought they had something to hold over him.
Kyle’s alleged toughness is thin, and entirely based upon his powers. Kyle discovered early in his life that he could create small little balls of energy that, when thrown, would explode. What began when he was a child as something only slightly more powerful than a small cherry bomb now can detonate with the strength of TNT, and Kyle is only learning more about his capability. He uses it, and the threat of it to lord himself over the people he surrounds himself with. He entertains himself with the fear of his victims.
Kyle has become increasingly erratic in recent years, as he has been diagnosed with a degenerative nerve disease that causes him increasing pain. As such, Kyle has become dependent on opiods to operate on a day-to-day basis, and regularly abuses the drugs. This is problematic for Kyle, as he has made a fair amount of money in recent years stealing prescription drugs for sale on the black market, only to end up using much of his ill-gotten gain.
#23 – Faraday (Thomas Peterson)
Being a celebrity or being a hero are hobbies for Thomas Peterson. However, he prefers his uncomplicated life, running his family’s music store and being a fixture in the small, college town he has lived in all his life. Thomas considers his work as a “hero†and as a “celebrity†to be useful tools at times, and he certainly does not eschew their impact on his life entirely. But he feels a great deal more comfortable away from the paparazzi, away from the commotion, living in a community where he can focus on teaching students the piano skills he was taught by his father, and trying to have real solutions to problems.
Thomas has always been a slightly unusual hero, because he’s never really embraced the job. His profession, to him, was as a teacher and community organizer. While doing the superhero’s work was useful and important to him, he didn’t see it as having a lasting impact, that its legacy, and his, were fleeting. So he teaches, instead.
As befits a family that ran a music store, music and musicians were always part of Thomas’s life early on. His father was a session musician for several different jazz groups, and his mother had been a opera singer. The pair began Peterson music before he was born, and made themselves a major part of the community within a few short years.
To his father’s delight, Thomas showed a aptitude and love for the piano, along with an ear for musical variety. He had been at college, studying at a music conservatory for three years when his powers suddenly manifested. It didn’t take a great deal of knowledge about powers to understand his burgeoning control over electromagnetic fields could be put to use, but, committed to finishing what he started, Thomas graduated from college before taking up the mantle of a hero.
For eight years, Thomas worked as a superhero, traveling the country, fighting villains, and always trying to set things right. But he felt himself getting lost inside the insular, self-absorbed world of heroes. His life began to revolve entirely around other people with powers, their problems, and Thomas began to feel he was being pulled away from the reason he’d taken up the job in the first place.
Thomas has not quit from the world of other heroes, he has simply pulled back from it. He’s still famous, and many people still visit his family’s music shop for a chance to meet the man once known as “Faradayâ€. He enjoys occasionally soaking in the adulation, and keeps in touch with other friends in “the business” he’s made. Thomas still occasionally goes out out to fight the good fight, but the shop, his parents and his community are his home, his rock. A place where nothing more than knowledge and kindness is expected of him.
Day 24-Pulsate
Pulsate uses the circuitry in the suit he designed to form a pulsing shell of energy around himself. The pulsing energy gives him protection from most weapons and blows. He can also drive it into the ground or out in front of himself to use it as an offensive attack.
Day Twenty-Four – The Descendants
Due to sickness and holiday, I have fallen four days behind in this challenge, so the only way to catch up was the create a team of four characters. Please forgive the hastiness under which they appear. I present: THE DESCENDANTS! Each team member has a famous ancestor and they are heirs to their power and authority.
NASRULLAH HUDA: Descended from Aladin, Nasrullah is still in possession of the flying carpet, except the wear and tear of the centuries left only enough material for her to fashion a doublet from the once magnificent tapestry. It allows her to fly much as one would imagine a jetpack would.
MONA LASAR: Mona is in possession of the Seal of Solomon (and thanks to my terrible drawing skills, it would appear his hands as well). The magic she works is neither good nor evil, but what her intentions make it so.
AI CHAN: Ai is descended from Gan Jiang of Chinese legend and wields the Ganjiang Sword. She search for its twin, Moye.
SISTER SOBRIETY: She does not per se own a relic, but is herself a relic: a clone of Saint Teresa of Ãvila, made from the heart that was nightly “trasverberated by the Love of God.” It is not known what powers she has beyond a sharp intellect and a keen (yet modest) fashion sense.

Day 23: The Living B.R.I.C.K.
Thuck Nysteros was the assistant of the insane Doc named Enesos Poison. He was so fully loyal to him, that accepted to be the guinea pig for an experiment studying the possibilites of an actual merge of living and non-living things. That’s how Brotesque Recklessly Injected Cubic Kal was created. It’s a huge living brick containing Thuck’s soul. Utterly mindless and with absolutely no purpose in it’s life… The definition of a living brick.
Day 24: 21st Century Sandshark Studios Presents: THE NEXT KIND’S BYFRAZ
On the far off world of Jorol, 3 million years from now, the descendants of humanity have settled this among thousands of  planets.  Seven offshoots of humanity have divided this land amongst themselves.  Civilizations have risen and fallen.  Wars have begun and concluded.  Jorol currently is in a state of an uneasy peace.
That peace was broken by the return of Jorol’s indigenous species: The Frahl Wraiths, who were forced underground millennia ago and were thought extinct. This was not so as their reemergence was hailed with the decimation of Koroth and and several other city states in the lands of Norlympia.  Those who survived were either taken into slavery or forced to flee.  One of those exiles was a noble general by the name of Doule.
Doule was in search of allies from the seven nations to form a coalition against the Frahl Wraiths. Â His travels at one point brought him to the arctic tundra of the Binans. Â This race has evolved to where they operate in genetically identical pairs. Â They are literally living computers that have developed cloning technologies, and have advanced telekenetic and telepathic skills. Â The Binans, though comprised as two person units, operate, think, and have identity as one distinct person. Â One of these pairs went by the name of Byfraz.
They were  simple scholars and anthropologist, but had extensive knowledge of antiquity and tales and information on the Frahl Wraithes.  The Binans are semi-pacifists, but agreed to lend the services of Byfraz to the cause, for which they have proven invaluable.
Day 24 | Spiderfly
2012 – DAY 24
All characters are created by my 5 year-old son, The Junior Partner.  He has either drawn these characters on his own and I have recreated them here, or he has sat at my elbow dictating design and conceptual ideas like a creative, but frenetic, taskmaster.
SPIDERFLY
Gentle Reader, you may have noticed a trend toward spider themed heroes in this 30 Day contest.  This particular spider hero was a combination of an armored version of Spider-Man and an old Batman villain named Black Spider discovered in an old DC Comics’ “Who’s Who” issue.
Spiderfly wears an armor that grants him agility and strength but also can allow for short periods of weightlessness.  Spiderfly has a series of “web bombs” that he wears in a utility belt, but can also shoot blasts of sticky fluid tendrils out of a special gun or from nozzles in his forearms.  He also could use the same fluid to create an underarm “cape” of this spider web fluid which allows him to glide along from building to building or over distances when used in conjunction with his weightless ability.
#14: Jason Tanaka
Julia and Martin Tanaka decided to adopt after finding out that Julia could not have children.  They found Jason at the  local orphanage and fell in love with him.  He was only 6 when he became a member of this unique family.  He is a very chill dude and isn’t surprised by a lot of things.  Though his parents tend to have busy schedules, they make time to spend with Jason and as a family.  He first picked up the trumpet after hearing his (adopted) grandfather play at a small concert.
Day 24 – Gunman
Real name – Steve Calworth
Aliases – Gunman, Vigilante
He is a genetically enhanced enforcer that works for the government.
#23 The Fiend
Supernatural detective and man of action, The Fiend uses wit, cunning and prowess to combat evil and embarass those who would exploit the weak.
Does his brass mask impart him superhuman ability? Is he cursed by powers infernal, or perhaps blessed by Heaven? His enemies scheme, his admirers wonder-but only the Fiend knows the truth.
Day 23: 21st Century Sandshark Studios Presents: THE NEXT KIND’S GELDORN
Day 23: 21st Century Sandshark Studios Presents: A 30 Character in 30 Day Challenge
Dan Nokes gives you
GELDORN OF THE NEXT KIND
On a world thousands of lightyears from ours and 3 million years from our time , lies the 7 great nations of the world of Jorol. These 7 civilizations are all evolutionary offshoots of mankind, who have settled the far reaches of this planet and have evolved into separate species from one another.  These nations forced the native peoples of this world: The Frahl Wraiths into the under realms of this planet, and were by the start of their common era to be extinct.
This was not to be so however, as the Frahl Wraith’s returned to reclaim their homeworld. Â They began with the Confederate City States of Norlympia: A near human like race, that had several of those city states laid waste, and many survivors taken into slavery. Â One of those who managed to escape was a Korthan general noble by the name of Doule. Â Doule scoured the seven great nations to find those who would join his quest to turn back the Frahl Wraith threat before they engulfed all of Jorol.
One of those nations was the 2nd Republic of Harlth, occupied by creatures made of living rock known as the Harlthans. Â One of their best known citizens was their senior statesman, former Grand Warsmith, and philosopher emeritus known as Geldorn. Â Geldorn was best known for his various written works, and was the most celebrated thinker of his age. Â But time had made him a subject of redicule to his people, who saw him as antiquated, and out of touch.
When Doule made his way to Harth, the council of 9 heard his pleas, but needed a gesture, that would prove aid would be warranted.  Geldorn no longer sat on the council, but openly scolded their lack or foresight and commitment.  He pledged his aid to Doule, and joined his ranks.  Geldorn though of a more advanced age has proven useful for his still formidable strength, endurance, and military prowess.  Doule was an admirer of Geldorn’s and relies on him heavily for his sage advice and battle prowess!
Day 23-Ocellus
A professor of optics developed a device that allows him to shine spots of color on different objects. Most people would think they had created a cool thing for entertaining at parties. But not this professor, he decided to make a jumpsuit, strap the device to his back and become a crime fighter. So if you see Ocellus on the street and you are up to no good watch out, he just might shine a dot of colored light on you.
Day 23 | Monk Manchu, Private Eye
2012 – DAY 23
All characters are created by my 5 year-old son, The Junior Partner.  He has either drawn these characters on his own and I have recreated them here, or he has sat at my elbow dictating design and conceptual ideas like a creative, but frenetic, taskmaster.
MONK MANCHU, PRIVATE EYE
After staring at some of the Hellboy statues in the home office, the Junior Partner, mentioned that Hellboy looked like a big red monkey with a giant gun.  I threw together a sketch on a post-it of a chimp holding a giant Hellboy gun.  The  Junior Partner then asked who he was and his story and I turned it around on him.  I suggested the name “Monk” and then the story unfolded that the chimp was a cop who solved crimes and his gun shot grappling hooks and nets, etc…  I drew a fu-manchu style mustache and gave the character sixties love beads and patterned kung-fu shirts for a hippie vibe.  Those were all vetoed and eventually the character became more of a orangutan with no ‘stache so the name, “Monk Manchu” doesn’t really fit anymore.  Nevertheless, here he is…a monkey private eye with a big gun and knows king-fu.
Day 23 – Buster
Real name – Andrew Lexington
Aliases – Buster, Lex
He came from the future seeking adventure and fight. He mostly fights for justice, but if injustice offers greater money he agrees to become a bad guy for a day.

Day 22: The InvisibLega
Nick Lega is the twin brother of Indiana. DON’T YOU SEE THE SIMILARITY? 😛
Well, he was visible, until a toxic accident made him invisible. Till then he’s practically nowhere to found. He usually haresses models and beautiful girls and then he lights up a cigar wearing his cool glasses. He is a grey character, not bad, not good. Somewhere between.
Day 22-Mixed
Mixed is an experiment by a secret cabal of scientists working in an undisclosed location to see if they could combine robotic parts with a college student who thought he was volunteering for a fraternity hazing. If the scientists had been working in a disclosed location they might have better parts, but working with what they had Mixed was the result. Once back in the world the student didn’t really know what else to do with himself, so he has decided to defend the Earth from evil and protect other dumb college kids from volunteering for experiments with weird scientists.
Day 22: 21st Century Sandshark Studios Presents: ZHEL OF THE NEXT KIND
On the distant world of Jorol, 3 million years into our own future lies THE NEXT KIND: 7 descendant races of humanity, who have evolved to their climates and environments, manifesting incredible new powers, abilities and challenges.  The world of Jorol though, was not uninhabited when humanity’s children first reached this world.  The Next Kind’s forefathers called them The Frahl Wraiths: Beings made of living metal, who were forced bellow the surface by the first settlers of Jorol.  2 million years later the Jorol returned to the surface for what they believed was rightfully theirs.  They struck first in the Nation State of Norlympia, decimating the city of Kortha.  One of the few surviors to escape was a nobleman military commander by the name Doule.
Doule began scouring the globe for allies to aid him in the common threat of The Frahl Wraithes.  This eventually brought him to the Western Fire mountains of Piras Terran.  This land was occupied by a nation state known as the Ferras: A matriarchal society of pyrokenetics  where women occupy most of the warrior, political, and social positions of high importance.  Their queen, Mahlbeth III was at first apprehensive about lending any aid.  She was then swayed by her youngest sister, Zhel, to allow her to be a military attache to Doule, for the purpose of gathering information about the Frahl Wraithes and the danger they present to the Great Western Empire of the Ferras.
At first Zhel was adversarial to Doule’s command and authority.  But over time, both proved eachother’s worth.  Doule eventually rose to be Doule’s most trusted advisor and second in command as they fight together to turn back the Frahl Wraithe Threat.
Day 22 | Space Pirate
2012 – DAY 22
All characters are created by my 5 year-old son, The Junior Partner.  He has either drawn these characters on his own and I have recreated them here, or he has sat at my elbow dictating design and conceptual ideas like a creative, but frenetic, taskmaster.
SPACE PIRATE
After looking at old, retro Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers images The Junior Partner became enamored with the whole 1950s fishbowl space helmet.  We were drawing pirates and then space aliens which melded together and then he wanted a really hardcore space faring pirate.  He wanted the old school fishbowl helmet, and I tweaked it… he was skeptical but then loved the overall “tech” look of the various components and the flaming laser sword instead of a “light saber” style energy weapon.
