#14 – Mighty Minerva (GWP)
I think women’s wrestling gets a bad rap. There’ve been tons of great women wrestlers…Fabulous Moolah, Beth Phoenix, too many to name from Japan. Mighty Minerva’s name calls to mind Magnificent Mimi and Medusa Micelli, to me. As far as her ring attire, I didn’t want it to be so…obvious. The cape would come off pre-match, but I didn’t intend for her to be wearing what amounts to a bra and sleeves. They are meant to be attached.
NOTE: I’m using Hero-O-Matic (aka Fabrica De Herois) to create my characters. If you’re a writer who can’t draw (like me!), you might want to try it!
14 – Impact by Beausephus
CHARACTER NAME: Â Impact
DATE OF CREATION: Â 1992
CONCEPT: Taking a page from the design of X-O MANOWAR and the “organic” spin on the armored superhero, IMPACT is a military created armored hero who is surgically fused with an an alien life form. Â The armor is not sleek and shiny but knobby and more organic, but is formed by elements of the alien bursting through IMPACT’s skin and encasing him in a techno-organic alien/hi-tech hybrid armor.
__________________________
IMPACT started in the early nineties blatantly ripping off elements of the David Micheline/M.D. Bright run on Iron Man.  Later the design was greatly informed by a young Joe Quesada’s take on the Valiant Comics character, X-O Manowar’s liquid/alien armor.  But when every other character had shiny metal on their bodies, I wanted Impact to rflect the opposite – a more organic, “natural” design.  Instead of sleek I wanted the armor to look like  a barnacle or a crustacean’s exo-skeleton.  Then, I wanted the “armor” to be almost alive, fusing with a human host to create a dynamic new entity.  Like, X-O Manowar, however, the “armor” sheathes itself around the human host but instead of it being a cool liquid metal style CGI special effect, the armor explodes in sheets of liquid and shards out of the host’s body, literally erupting in a spray of blood and science fiction.
So, Impact is a military weapon created by the fusing of prototype technology and an alien life form that is implanted into various soldiers. Â Because the transformation process is so strenuous on the human body a host can only survive a limited number of these painful metamorphoses into the Impact weapon. Â However, the host cannot function normally when encased in the armor for long periods of time. Â So every host has a limited time as the impact weapon leaving gateways to numerous story-lines and character arcs.
The Impact Weapon System, as it is referred to by official shadowed military/government types, is essentially a tool of force and agression. Â The “armor” can morph based on need at every transformation process, allowing multiple variations of appearance and tactical need. Â In all of its forms the armor is exceptionally durable and and resilient to physical damage and gravitational effects. Â The Impact armor is not capable of flight or super strength, but it’s resistance to gravity and the surgical improvements necessary for the host to move and survive inside the armor allow for a degree of enhanced strength and enhanced speed and agility. Â The armor is alos capable of absorbing physical impacts by means of a insulating fluid that literally expands with each physical attack. Â Every so often the fluid must be ejected from the armor. Â The host can harness this expulsion process as a high velocity plasma stream, directing it as an offensive weapon at specific targets. Â This method, however, literally bursts forth from the armor leaving the host vulnerable for a few moments until the armors seals the gaping holes in its “husk”. Â The liquid plasma stream is, of course, highly explosive.
Impact went through many variations of the armored hero until I had the idea to take the concept in a different direction. Â Impact is not the name of the character but the armor and the person inside the armor is a constant variable in the possible story lines. Â I like the fact that different hosts, used for various missions, result in a constant series of stories all beneath the overall arc of the manipulations and machinations of the people actually responsibile for the armor.
Thanks for checking out my stuff.

#13: Duo
The Martial Arts Alchemist, Duo.
Jason Kim was an agent of the John Dee Society in Alchemy and partner to Nick Dyer. These Alchemy Agents were responsible with upholding the Rules of Alchemy and the protectors of the Philosopher’s Stone Mound, located off of Lake Michigan, but it was not always so. Before Jason Kim, he was Huan Hsaing, and Alchemist during the height of Chinese Alchemy research and he was the first to tap into the Elixir of Immortality in prolonging his life. Throughout the centuries, Huan saw and experienced many great and terrible things until he was approached by John Dee in the 1550’s and was inducted into the secret Dee Society, along with Edward Dyer, an English poet/alchemist, who Huan became fast friends with. The Dee Society went through many ups and downs; from Dee’s research into the paranormal, the rebirth of Hermes Trismegistus and the Books of Thoth, to the civil war within the society between Dee, Edward Kelly/Talbot, and a resurrected Nicholas Flamel. These battles all centered around safeguarding and procuring the Philosopher Stone Mounds, along with Huan’s Elixir of Immortality. Though Dyer never took it, Huan has consumed the Elixir as a means to protect his friend’s family, for contrary to the other prominent Alchemists, Edward a successful Alchemist, able to circumvent certain rules of Transmutation and his gift passed on to his offspring, along with Edwards Philosopher’s Stone as a Dyer has always been a member with the John Dee Society.
It wasn’t until Nick Dyer’s death that Huan, now Jason Kim, suspected any wrongdoing within the Society, but after conducting his own investigation around Nick’s car accident, Jason suspects another coup is in the works within the society and he must prepare Nick’s son, Alan in the ways of Alchemy, before the group that took Alan’s father, come for him next.
As Duo, Jason trains Alan in both harnessing his father’s Philosopher Stone, but also in defending himself in combat. He also acts as Alan’s source of intel in dealing with threats beneath the Society’s notice, but not for the Front Line.
Abilities: With a Philosopher’s Stone embedded in his left eye, Jason is capable of creating organic and inorganic transmutations with his hands and feet via touch. His eye also accelerates his mental calculations so as to be able to make create objects quickly, as well as see the chemical composition of various objects and see various spectrums of light invisible to the naked eye. Jason is also a skilled martial artist, having mastered over 70 different fighting styles, from weapon to open-handed combat, throughout his long lifetime. Jason is also a skilled chemist and is one of the founders of the Elixir of Immortality. Jason is also an Agent of the John Dee Society and has access to their vast library of alchemy knowledge as well as their resources in determining threats that the Dee society won’t handle, but can get them to Alan and the Front Line to handle.
Creation: I wanted to make a mentor type character to go with the Alchemist, as well as being a fan of stark contrast costumes, with the ying yang motif being the basis for his wardrobe. It also aids in the Taoist philosophies inherent in Chinese Alchemy, which is a happy accident on my part.
#13 “insomniac” Tyler Farillo
Universe/Storyline: The Band
Universe details: In the isolated city of Crescent where these characters live, superpowers spring from close encounters with death. Only people born in the city can gain these powers, and since this is a relatively new settlement, the first generation of people born there are just starting to show signs of super-fication. This means mostly kids and teens. Of the teens, Camille, Max, Amelia, Walter, and Rin decide to team up and form a band. They take it upon themselves to help other kids who are just getting powers/dealing with death. Eventually, when The Band realizes that everyone deserves to be informed about the city’s unique predicament, they try to reach every kid in the city at once by putting on a live concert.
Height: 5’ 4â€
Body Type: Looks frail and tired. Permanently hunched over in sleepiness.
Hair: Shaved head. Not completely bald like Greenbeard, but shaved pretty close. His head is covered is short black fuzz like a new Chia pet. Also he has some stubble growing in on his face.
Eyes: Gray-brown. Bloodshot from being open too often.
Race: Black
Age: 17
Attire: When Tyler stopped being able to sleep he also stopped caring about what he was wearing. Now it’s mostly sweatpants and hoodies all day and all night.
Superpowers: Consciousness (primary)- It is impossible for Tyler to be unconscious. He hasn’t slept since the concert, and even Camille can’t knock him out with her infallible knockout punch. Miraculously he is not on his way to losing his mind from exhaustion—as a matter of fact his powers make everything very clear to him. He is very aware. Sometimes he knows things he shouldn’t be able to know. Amelia observes there is something very weird going on with his subconscious. Her illusions don’t work on him.
Personality: Tyler is not looking for a fight. He can still feel pain and he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. He’s had a lot of time to think lately and he knows that Crescent isn’t going to last the way it’s going now. So, he joins with the New Powers, but he sort of double-agents for The Band. He thinks Carlos is a little overenthusiastic and prefers the generally relaxed company of The Band.
Power source/backstory:
- Tyler was at The Band’s first concert, where overenthusiastic heroes killed a person disguised as a usually robotic police officer.
Theme Song: I Need Some Sleep- Eels

#13 Special Agent
Timothy Collins, America’s most decorated soldier is barely human, he has lived for a hundred years to date, and is still going strong. He always fought for U.S. and his loyalty is not for sale. Special Forces greatest fighter, has come to his greatest challenge when freedom’s biggest threat is the President himself.
Day 11: Gary
Gary doesn’t want to fire the new kid. It’s not that he’s great at making photocopies. And yeah, he never can manage to get to work on time. Hell, sometimes he misses complete shifts. He also can barely manage to come to work in one piece. He’s always exhausted or really beat up.
But the kid needs this. He’s gotta chip in at home, save for school, bring home bacon, and all of that jazz. Gary can’t be the reason he goes home penniless.
Especially since Gary knows who the kid is. He’s a superhero.
It wasn’t hard for Gary to put two and two together. He knows that the kid gets it from every side, and he doesn’t want to be a problem for him.
He can’t be the reason the city’s hero doesn’t get a nights meal.
So he spreads out his staff, picks up doubles here and there, concocts every excuse he can think of.
Gary may be overworked, but he hears that gray is debonair, so he sleeps easy.
#13 – Owen MacMaster
Owen, codenamed as yet undetermined! The youngest on Mercy’s team, he’s always been quiet, sensitive and less impulsive than his teammates. He had a silent crush on Mercy when she went by Magpie, and spoke (softly) against her rejoining them in her depowered state. This is less because he doesn’t believe in her and more because he fears for her safety, but it was the cause of a rift between the two that sparked a deep stint of depression for Owen. He’s an art student that frequently dyes his hair ridiculous colors. Also, borderline hipster.
G. Brett Williams #13 – Atticus Spade, the Ace of Spades
Atticus Spade – A member of the all-black 369th Infantry, the group known by the nicknames “Harlem’s Hellfighters” and “Black Rattlers,” Henry “Hank” Needham was the first African American to earn the French Croix de Guerre. During a battle in WWI, Needham and his fellow infrantryman William Roberts were attacked by a German raiding party. Roberts was injured in the battle and was being dragged off by German soldiers when Needham, out of ammo, attacked his friend’s captors and beat them savagely with the butt of his rifle. The Germans were cowed by Needham’s savagery and abandoned their plans. The two men had driven off an entire German raiding party. Needham came home to a country still divided on the issue of race. Weary of war and death, he did everything he could to distance himself from the military and his legacy, not that many people cared much for his legacy anyway. He bounced around the country, always finding odd jobs where he could and supplementing his income with a little gambling here and there. Eventually he ended up out West where he found work on the Boulder (eventually Hoover) Dam project. The project’s proximity to Las Vegas, which legalized gambling in 1931, made it the perfect place for Needham to find some extra cash. At that point in his life he was a very accomplished con man and card sharp and he put those skills to good use in the fertile ground of a young Sin City. He was enjoying life on the grift, as much as anyone can, when the government came calling. While Needham had abandoned the US military as soon as his service was up, his friend Will Roberts had continued to serve. Roberts had been trained as a spy and sent to Africa in an attempt to gather intelligence on strange occurrences on the African continent that led back to the rising socialist movement in Germany. Roberts lost contact and was presumed compromised. Rather than risk losing those secrets to a mounting German threat, the Americans went after the one man they thought best capable of finding and rescuing (or eliminating) his former partner. This is how Hank Needham became Atticus Spade, the Ace of Spades. It is the retrieval of Roberts that serves as the first team mission for the Aces.
#10 Sanu
Born on the big island of Hawaii, Sanu simply thought he was getting tribal tats put on his body – adding a belly design and paying tribute to his gang, when something went horribly wrong. as the last dot of ink was added to his belly design, more tattoos grew up his neck and over his face and head, and finally over his back. Something took him over. Something otherworldly, and now he is inhabitted by a spirit of unimaginable power. Sanu was placed on the team after leveling a small village on Molokai, killing everyone. He is used by the team primarily as a “nuke” – being brought into impossible situations where there is no other hope.
#12-Ed Vaughn
Eddie is the lead of Mayor Ron Priest’s elite force, tracking down any he’s told to. While he has his own judgement, he believes fully in Priest. He lost a hand and a leg during his beat with the Verde City beat cops and volunteered for the enhancements created by he Elite Force armor. Though he isn’t able to remove it due to his limbs healing over the connection to the armor, which partially lead to his leadership of the force. With no other life to go back to, he leads over all the unit, no longer requiring sleep or food.
Yeah, switching to a more cartoon style, just so I can play with shapes more. I don’t know, I do better with cartooning I think. Caught up, today’s will be up later.
#13 Red Squirrel
Red Squirrel
As early as he could walk, Ty Carlson was learning to climb and leap and pounce. Trained by his enigmatic uncle, the vigilante known as the Weasel, Ty took on the persona of the Red Squirrel. His obsessive uncle taught Ty to prowl through the night tracking and thwarting criminals. The young boy brings an energy and optimism to the war on crime, but maybe he should hang up the mask at least until his 6th birthday.
#12- Pinch
When Smoke defected from the Elite, he gained a loyal follower in Pinch. Pinch, also a former Animal Elite agent, is quite a scary individual. On top of her superb hand to hand combat skills, Pinch has the unique ability is use her quills like throwing knifes and she throws them with deadly accuracy. Her blind love and devotion to Smoke means she is not exactly of sound mind.

#12 Error
Technopaths, can’t live with them, definitely can live without them. Error has no name, no history, for all purposes he does not even exist. He is a terrorist, believing that technology should only be in the hands of those who know how to use it, aka him. Error, can cripple economies, and destroy military systems with a thought, but what makes him truly dangerous is his unrelenting will to kill, wither by hand, knife, or gun, he loves it.
#11 Gamemaster
As one of the worlds premier video-game players, Andrew Martins knows his way around any system, used in may spec operations, as a coordinator no one would ever suspect that he has a new game and its called world domination. Can the governments of the world unite to stop the most brilliant mind to the 21st century, or are they just playing out of their league?
#13-Aussie Avenger
He’s the Land Down Unders greatest hero. He is the Aussie Avenger. Evildoers beware Australia has a protector.
#13: The Silver Spark
Real Name: Thomas Hitch
Height: 6’3
Weight: 210 lbs.
Location: Liberty City, USA
Powers: Emits powerful blasts of silver tinted light energy from his hands; flight
Character info: I’ve been having a lot of fun with this 30 Character Challenge, because it’s paved the way for me to unleash some of the ideas I’ve had for the history of The Adventurers of Liberty City universe. We established that a team of Adventurers existed before the current team, and even further back, there was at least one superhero known as U.S.A. In a future arc, we’ll explore heroes that operated as allies of U.S.A. The Silver Spark will be one of those heroes. In fact, he’ll have strong ties to The Adventurers of Liberty City, as well as a possible spin-off I have planned called The Axiom.
He’s a classic hero in every sense. Along with U.S.A., he was viewed as an inspiring, clean cut hero. Not only do his powers make him formidable, but he’s also a tall and built individual.
#13 – Major Victory (GWP)
I always hate that patriotic wrestlers are always white dudes. I think the only African American patriotic wrestler was GI Bro, aka Booker T (arguably, you can say that Tony Atlas was as well, but that’s grasping at straws to me). I’m a big fan of taking expectations away from certain conventions. Major Victory, the name, is based on the public domain superhero…in fact, you can see that I did my best to translate his ring attire from the superhero uniform.
NOTE: I’m using Hero-O-Matic (aka Fabrica De Herois) to create my characters. If you’re a writer who can’t draw (like me!), you might want to try it!
#13 Sin Pueblo Narco Hunter
The pinche night’s as hot as hell. It’s a crappy room in a crappy part of a crappy pueblo -My name is Mario. I used to be a law man. Not much use for guys like me in Mexico these days. Not since the cartels took over.
I’m looking at a rose. She says she wants me. I’m not wasting one more second wondering how I got so lucky. She smells like flowers ought to smell, the perfect woman… the Rose. Rosita. She says her name is Rosita.
So, you were scared, weren’t you Rosita? Somebody wanted to kill you and you knew it. Well, I’m gonna find that hijo de puta Narco that killed you, and I’m gonna put that fool down…hard. I love Narcos. No matter what you do to them, you don’t feel bad.
This is an eye for an eye. It’s time I solved the Narco Cartel problem, with extreme prejudice. I have no choice. My hand has been dealt. And I’m ready for war.
Walk down the right back alley in Sin Pueblo, and you can find anything.
#12 – “The Heartthrob” Eddie Heart (GWP)
Dang it, I spelled “heartthrob” wrong.
Eddie Heart is an amalgam of three pro wrestlers: “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert, “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels, and Bret “The Hitman” Hart. Technically proficient, a top rope master, and a master on the microphone, Eddie is a fan favorite.
“Over” refers to how the fans react to him. Being over, for a babyface (or hero) means the fans love him and cheer his every move (by the same token, a heel, or villain, can be over if he gets a lot of boos and jeers).
NOTE: I’m using Hero-O-Matic (aka Fabrica De Herois) to create my characters. If you’re a writer who can’t draw (like me!), you might want to try it!
#13 – The Mannequin
The Mannequin started out as a kind of puppeteer character, sending strange creations after the heroes from the safety of his base of operations, or setting death traps – part Puppet Master part Arcade.
He kind of built up though to something more interesting, I think.
I love how Marco makes him look like Buster Keaton almost, blank faced and tragic.
#13: The Concierge
The police can’t figure out if this guy is a vigilante or a contract killer, or maybe just a guy who couldn’t find a better costume – who knows. Â What they do know is that he deals out justice swiftly and in a manner that applies to a high moral code.
#12: Tunnel Rat
Club kid and part-time superhero Tunnel Rat is ferocious in the way he doles out justice. Â His only problem is that he can’t become the Tunnel Rat unless he’s underground. Â If you want to commit a crime in a basement or lower level of a sunken parking garage, you better watch out!
#11: Professor Solved
With a track record of science solutions like this, you can understand why Professor Solved waits to get involved until he’s asked. Â One man can only solve so many problems.
#10: The Blind Butler
Come on, now. Â You have a blind butler that can do all of his butlering duties without fail and you are surprised to find out that he’s a crime fighting ninja at night?
