G. Brett Williams #3 – Rocket 88
Rocket 88 (Eddie Pena) is another of the original American Evos that made up Cyclone’s strike team. Eddie was a latino teenager from Southern California whose passions were skateboards and working on engines. Eddie Pena liked to go FAST, which is a good thing since his evolved talents allowed him to move faster than any human alive. Eddie Pena became the fastest man in the world. Having grown up in the vibrant punk rock community of Southern California, Eddie had been exposed to a lot of musical styles throughout his youth. He particularly identified with rockabilly and old rock and roll, any music from the fifties and sixties that celebrated cars and greaser culture. So when it came time for him to choose his codename for the strike force, he chose Rocket 88, a reference to the song by Jackie Brenston about an old hot rod that most people consider to be the first rock and roll song of all time.
Rocket 88 is the resident joker and rebel of the group. The least militaristic by far, he is however reliable and trustworthy, and great when the team needs anything repaired in a flash.

#3 Lady Frida
During a summer internship at Mexico City’s Palacio De Bellas Artes Museum, American art student Paloma Flores discovered a Pre Columbian Mayan jade necklace in the basement archives. It was so pretty she just had to try it on. When she did POOF! She became Lady Frida the super powered crime fighter and international adventurer.
The magical necklace gives Lady Frida super strength, speed, endurance, and the ability to fly, and fire energy blasts from her fingertips.
Most importantly it makes her look fabulous.
Day 4: Kid Quick
Or rather, I should say, ex-Kid Quick
In his glorious youth, Danny Doyle was known as KID QUICKSILVER or KidQuick for short.
Known for his lightning fast speed and equally fast healing and thinking abilities, KidQuick was the hero to beat.
And one day, someone finally did.
Though able to save several of his incapacitated friends, Danny was caught in a blast himself.
He survived but forever lost his sight.
Eventually his body healed but his eyes never did. His friends tried to help him as best they could but it seemed nothing could be done.
Even bionic eyes were attempted, but engineered eyes couldn’t match the speed of his body and would burn out in hours.
Time went on and crime didn’t stop just because KidQuick was forced to put on the breaks.
The other superheroes continued their work and eventually Danny faded in memory.
Except, of course, his own.
Now Danny is left to his own devices, still fast as ever, mind whirling in a storm of fury, hatred and depression at being abandoned by the people he saved.
And he aims to do something about it.

#3 – SantamarÃa
The small isle of Punta Blanca is a republic located about a thousand miles from continental Central America. It is nation with a rich history and culture that almost 99.99% of people who don’t live on Punta Blanca know nothing about.
No, unfortunately the best known fact about the small island is its infamous nickname: “Paraiso de Guerrillas”.
Guerrilla Paradise.
The name comes from the later days of the Cold War, where Punta Blanca became a focal point for the struggle between the CIA and the KGB, both organizations desperately trying to ally themselves with the local government and militia before the other could. This was mostly due to both strategic geographical advantage and the vastness of it’s natural resources. Since Punta Blanca was not fully colonized until the late 19th century, this meant that it’s mineral riches had gone pretty much untouched throughout the entire Spanish occupation, making it the richest so called third world country in the world.
However, Punta Blanca, and specially Punta Blanca’s president at the time, José Higuerón Padre, wanted nothing to do with either country and their petty struggles. Being a predominantly self-sufficient country with a ridiculously low importing rate there was nothing that either side could offer that would truly win them over. This was the point that negotiations turned sour. It’s rather unclear who took the initiative, whether the Yankees or the Russians, but either of them decided that if they could not have Punta Blanca, then no one would have it. The other side simply played along.
The island became the site of a bloody conflict between communist and capitalist “factions”, nothing more than actual american and soviet soldiers masquerading as local militias, which both Washington and the Kremlin used as excuses to pump even more armed forces into the area. The conflict lasted almost two years and caused enormous damage to both the country and its people. Many lost their lives due to this pointless struggle. Something would have to be done.
In April of 1974, president Higuerón passed a constitutional decree which was unanimously approved by the country’s senate, which officially instated the first ever Punta Blanca National Army. A staggering 75% of the male population of the country was immediately drafted and trained. Yet Higuerón and his people knew this wouldn’t be enough to free his country from the Cold War’s phantom.
Article Zero of the National Army Proclamation Act also officially instated “Project: Torch”, the first ever official super-soldier program since “Operation: Rule Britannia” in World War I.
But just like Rule Birtannia before it, the majority of Punta Blanca’s soldiers proved immune to the multiple chemical treatments employed by Project: Torch, with most soldiers only gaining minor muscular and reflex enhancements from the procedure.
However, through something scientist call a genetical probability of one in a million, a young soldier names John Duarte, the first ever successfully produced super-soldier in the world. The process provided Duarte with super strength, super speed, maximized reflexes, peak hand-to-eye coordination, and improvements to everyone of his senses. This coupled with extensive training from multiple mercenary organizations contracted by the Punta Blanca government for the purpose of both training and adding to the ranks of their army turned him into his countries top operative.
His codename comes from the local legends of the early settlers about a missionary who lived in the deep jungles of the island after fleeing the slaughter of his flock by the indians by throwing himself to the ocean and swimming for days. John Duarte gave way to SantamarÃa.
Almost 40 years later, Punta Blanca remains an autonomous nation, even more distrusting of other nations than before. Their army continues to grow and evolve, being now considered the top military power in all the world. Which mostly has to due with the man in the top chair of that army. Even in his late 60’s, SantamarÃa continues to be both an imposing presence and a skilled combatant. The process that gave him his power has somehow also allowed him to retain his mental and physical prowess even at such and advanced age.
His eyes remain forever vigilant on each and every border of his small nation, a grin on his lips and a glint on his eye, waiting for the next fool stupid enough to dare threaten
 his beloved country.
# 3 : Jagan, The Evil Eye
Now, from Dinosaurs to traditional Superheroes and Supervillains, comes Jagan, the Evil Eye.
A criminal mastermind, Jagan, the Evil Eye commits crimes either for profit or to instill his brand of terror across the city of Chicago, for profit. He runs an outfit of masked henchman called the Eyes, who are regular criminals who wear special masks that not only conceal their identities, but each mask is specially coated with chemicals that disperse a memory cleansing agent upon forced removal to ensure no one reveals the Jagan’s true identity. Jagan also enforces control over his gang and with any other person via chemical compounds that Jagan disperses based on what operation he is going for. These gases can range from sleep to hallucinogenic. Jagan dispenses these compounds via wrist-mounted devices or through grenades. He enhances the effects via psychedelic strobe lights in his helmet that display a swirling mass of vivid colors and various eye patterns to convey The Evil Eye’s state of mind. Jagan, The Evil Eye utilizes psychological warfare and fearful intimidation to incite fear and to unsettle the minds of his targets.
His secret identity is still a mystery, though some investigators suspected him to be local psychologist, Frederic Wolham, as he studied the effects of chemical compounds combined with disruptive stimuli on the human mind, yet the doctor was found murdered in his Lakeview home and his notes taken. Police have investigated all of Wolham’s assistants with no possible suspect caught. Whoever murdered the doctor and stole his work is evidently able to use it with swift and deadly efficiency, as Jagan, The Evil Eye in his debut, once released a massive chemical hallucinogen during Grant Park’s Lolapooloza festival, causing the entire downtown area to to break down into chaos, which the Tribune dubbed the event ” The Night of Delirium”
So far, police and the Superhuman community has yet to capture Jagan, The Evil Eye and anyone who actually captures him is usually revealed to be just one of his henchmen, wearing his outfit and dies from an airborne pathogen created once unmasked. So, we are left with a chemical wizard who elusive as well as deadly.
Jagan’s outfit initially started out as a sketch of someone’s entry into a new Batman costume, and it was interesting to me because from a departure from most costumes, this batsuit was heavy on using crazy eye patterns on the helm. This led me to create the Jagan as I remade the style and piping over his outfit while experimenting with his helmet until I got the desired eye pattern I wanted his helmet to have. I wanted to base this villain in the vein of both Mysterio and The Scarecrow, in that I want a villain who employs chemicals and striking visuals to elicit fear, but also to mess with the minds of his victims to further his psychological torture profile. So, there you have it, beware the fearsome watch of Jagan, The Evil Eye.
Day 2 Manatee
Kyle Momoa was champion high school swimmer who was on the verge of olympic greatness. This all changed when a rival athlete had his lower back injured. Unable to work out like he used to, Momoa gained massive weight. He became bitter with all people, finding a kindred spirit with the Sea Cows, who he began to resemble.
Momoa was offered revolutionary that put him back in the water. He named himself after his beloved Manatees and now seeks to bring the people who hurt both of them to justice.
Character 3 – Ren Razorblade
Following up on the storyline of Atlanton (working title), the oceanic hero who stumbles upon 7500 kilos of cocaine in the ocean, this is Ren Razorblade.
Ren is a member of the hacker organization “Have a Nice Day” who has recently declared war on the drug cartel responsible for losing the 7500 kilos of cocaine in the ocean. Elliot, the story protagonist, implores the organization for help, as the enemy of his enemy is his friend. Ren agrees to work with him after he shows her his super suit.
Ren herself is a no-nonsense punk with little faith in the system and maybe a little too much faith in her own abilities. Where Elliot is absolutely terrified of his situation, Ren fears nothing. However, when dealing with enemies as dangerous as she does, a little fear can keep you alive.
#2 Major Mason
In 1966 Major Matt Mason was the Mattel organizations “First man in space!” . He was a shining example of American pride and ingenuity. Whilst exploring the vast unknown the Majors ship was bombarded with “Gamma Light”, all communications were lost. Now the Nation sits in suspense wondering when they’ll hear from the Major again…
—
This is a re-visit to a character I made for last years challenge, but i’m doing it in 2 parts. Tonight I hope to have part two of this finished so I can be caught up with the rest of ya’ll .
#3 Blitz
Say hello to Agent Blitz of the Animal Elite and right hand man of Agent Acorn. This Speedster is a cross between The Flash and Johnny Storm. He’s overly confident at times to a fault but extremely charming. He’s like a bad ass version of Bugs Bunny. I know that sounds stupid because we all know that Bugs Bunny is a bad ass. Haha.
#3 Samhain
This is Sanhaim.
Studied Shamanism as a youth (as part of her native american heritage), and Wicca as the traditions her mother’s side of the family pursued.  Bored with the nature of both practices, she delved into forbidden knowledge and learned to tap into the shadowy dark side of both arts.  Now, her vast mystical power threatens to tear her apart, if she cannot learn to control the negative energies.
#3-The Pusherman
The Pusherman (only known alias C. Hayfield) was a young punk on the streets who grew up through all the crap on the dirty streets of Verde City. He fought his way out and became a defense attorney, fighting for the wrongly accused of Verde City’s Slums. One day though, after successfully defending his client, Freddie Dunn, for Murder 1 and breaking and entering. He goes home that day to find his apartment ransacked and his wife murdered, with all the trademarks that his own defendant, (one he had believed innocent). He disappeared before the police arrived and fell off the grid.
A year later, a new drug lord starts to rise in the Slums, known as the Pusherman. In an almost bloodless takeover, he controlled most of Verde City’s drug system, except for a small part, controlled by Jet Disco. They continue to fight over the last bit of territory Jet controls for the past couple years, with only the Prick keeping the violence from spreading. Apparently.
This is the first in what is most likely going to be a series of characters from an old concept for a webcomic I wanted to do, as you can probably tell by the last sentence. Hope you enjoy.
Also another note, if anyone can help me with a problem I am having using the template. I keep trying to put my (very large) images in behind the copyright, and whenever I scale it to fit, it crops everything that wasn’t on the canvas already. If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong, can you please tell me? Thank you if you take the time.
No prize for who can tell me what the C. in C. Hayfield means. The hint is in a couple of the villains’ names.
#3 Rawr
Flump’s evil nemesis, Rawr. Rawr stole the plans for Flump’s jet pack and made his own. Rawr also does his best to cause havoc and generally annoy Flump and his friends.
#3 Alysson Twotrees
Alysson Twotrees
Life on the reservation is hard, and Alysson Twotrees is just a quiet deputy trying to do her part to improve her community. What no one knows, though, is that Alysson is also the chosen shaman of Anashi, the Sun Mother. Blessed with superhuman powers by the bright Goddess, Alysson can rise to protect her tribe, when she must, but she would rather serve with her badge, her tenacity and her quiet strength.
I’ve updated Cucumber Hendrix, the character I used to draw when I was really young. He was kind of … my FIRST character. And I must have been about 10-13. And I came up with this.
Cucumber Hendrix has all the powers of a man with a Cucumber lodged in his brain. Luckily this hideous accident has given him the ability to do anything. Literally. But he often forgets until 10 minutes to the end of the episode.
I was a disturbed child. And my parents were SURPRISED when I came out to them.
#3: Entropy
Name: Charles Feron
Aliases: Charlie, Angel, Safety Net, Entropy
Height: 5’11
Weight: 137 lb
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue
Biography Charles was born in the Bronx to a lower middle class family of Italian descent in1981. When he was 23, he graduated from Berkeley as an engineering major. Shortly after his graduation, the rift opened in 2004.
Charles was extremely close to the rift when it opened. Unverified reports claim he was, in fact, the closest person to escape being sucked to the other side.
Three months later, Charles’ powers manifested.
Powers: None, in his normal state. Charles is an unaltered human with the capability to switch himself with a parallel version of himself, a being calling itself Entropy.
Entropy’s Powers: Decay: Entropy can rapidly age anything he touches. Organic life quickly shrivels and dies, metals rust, woods splinter, and paper disintegrates at his touch.
More resilient materials, such as plastics or glass, can resist these powers for a length of time.
Enhanced strength, speed, and reflexes as well.
[The following was written by Agent Thomas from the Bureau of Extradimensional Affairs.]
“Entropy is a high level criminal on the other side. Â He’s not like Carson Douglas over here, the entire country is in an out-and-out war, with Entropy fighting the government themselves. There’s 70 million dollars on his head, but good luck claiming it.
Anyways, our intel suggests Charlie doesn’t so much become Entropy as switch places with him temporarily. The world’s worst criminal and some kid from the Bronx switch places in their respective dimensions, and we’ve been trying to coordinate some sort of trap, so we can switch out Entropy for Charlie at a critical moment.
Of course, if that happens, then it’s our universe that’s stuck with the nigh-invincible supercriminal…”
#3 Mitchell Baranovich
Philanthropist, inventor, billionaire with a heart of gold, man-about -town….Mitchell Baranovich is the founder and head of one of the world’s biggest tech companies, and with his movie star looks and affable personality, he’s certainly well regarded by the people.
But it’s all an act.
In reality, Baranovich is head of a world-wide crime syndicate, with an emphasis on illegal technology transfers and arms dealing. He also has a group of superpowered “enforcers” who take care of business when clients get cold feet or do not get their payments in on time. While he is a skilled martial artist and is familiar with all small arms and military assault weapons, Baranovich is escorted by two female agents in special exoskeletons that enhance their strength and are impervious to most small arms fire.
Baranovich is a cold, calculating man who is able to project the image of a spotless, scandal-free man of wealth to an unsuspecting population. He’s perhaps the most dangerous foe Andrea Tennant–aka “Windwalker”–has ever faced.
(The name of this character was taken from two characters from one of my favorite novels, Firefox.)
Character 1 – Atlanton
Let’s start off by saying making an aquatic-themed hero is a challenge. Most aquatic heroes are considered pretty lame by the comics-reading community for a number of reasons: their super powers aren’t so “super.” Few cape stories take place under water. They have silly costumes (when they wear any at all). They’re just not relevant. Yes, most aquatic-themed superheroes get no respect, but I had a recent bout of inspiration that may change that.Â
Elliot Vargas is a young college student who lives in San Diego, CA and studies physics and astronomy. One the young man stumbles upon a suit of armor of what appears to be alien origins that he finds while stargazing in the middle of the desert. He dons the suit which quickly sticks to his body and compels him to go to the water. Elliot begins using the suit to explore the depths, and while this all seems fun at first, the magical undersea journey comes to a crashing halt when Elliot discovers a mysterious submarine in the waters not far outside of San Diego bay. The submarine is revealed to contain 7,500 kilos of pure, uncut cocaine.
If we could have a thought bubble coming off him right now, it’d probably read “Holy f*cking sh*t!”
Elliot anonymously notifies the authorities of the monstrous find, but he soon finds himself being pursued by drug cartel killers and government agents interested in the suit. Elliot’s life ultimately becomes a complicated mess of running, juggling school, and being compelled to go back to the water night after night by the suit.
#3 – BT Barnum
[The following was taken from reports to Interpol Director Francis Croke on the suspected personal of a international organization known as A.B.R.A.C.A.D.A.B.R.A. Whether A.B.R.A.C.A.D.A.B.R.A is a vigilante group, freedom fighters or terrorists is still being investigated]
Name: Betsy Traci Barnum
Alias: BT Barnum
Age: 29
Height: 5’9
Current weight:125
Hair: Red
Eyes: Green
Group Affiliations: A.B.R.A.C.A.D.A.B.R.A, Barnum Circus
Distinguishing skills/features: Expert in several fields of circus performing which helps her immensely in the field. Although she doesn’t have any formal combat training she uses her accumulated physical knowledge to be a fierce unpredictable combatant. When not in disguise she has a tendency to wear a ringleader jacket and top hat.
History: Born Betsy Traci Barnum, BT Barnum is the last living member of the Barnum Line and the majority shareholder of Barnum Circus the worlds largest and most well traveled Circus originally founded by her great great grandfather PT Barnum.
BT was orphaned at the age of nine when her parents were killed in a car wreck, and upon the examination of their joint will it was revealed that the majority shares would go to Betsy at the age of eighteen but in the meantime she would live with her fathers best friend and godfather Sergei Volcatov, a former Russian circus clown and current ring leader of Barnum Circus.
Volcatov proved a positive influence on BT and the rest of the performers became her surrogate family. In the intervening years she worked(and mastered) nearly every aspect of circus performing: juggling, animal training, tight rope walking, trapeze artistry, and even being a clown. But the part she excelled at was working as a barker as she displayed a gift for drawing people in and getting them to believe anything she said, a skill she would use to great effect later on.
Upon her eighteenth birthday BT was prepared to accept her majority shares of the circus, however when she went to the circus corporate headquarters she was informed by the board of directors she would be receiving nothing. Apparently they had exploited a legal loophole that completely cut BT out. Details are sketchy of this meeting but apparently after BT received some rather sexist comments from the board members BT calmly stood up looked around the room and proclaimed “In one years time I will be the only one left working here” and left.
Within a year the entire board of directors were either locked up, homeless, are attacked by rabid ferrets.
Its believed that during the year long “revenge world tour” BT was recruited by A.B.R.A.C.A.D.A.B.R.A, an organization her great great grandfather helped create. Â
Present Day: After reclaiming ownership over the circus BT left Volcatov in charge while she began her new life as a jet setting heiress accompanied by her assistant Harry and Driver Rodrigo. However we believe that this is just a cover for her real job as an agent of A.B.R.A.C.A.D.A.B.R.A. She has been sighted, if not implicitly linked, near several dozen scenes of mass devastation. Whether she was the cause of this destruction or kept it from getting worse has yet to be uncovered.Â
Psych Evaluation: BT Barnum has shown signs of survivors guilt most likely associated with the death of her parents, However she uses this guilt to fuel her endless desire to better herself which is why she is able to master multiple disciplines in relatively short amounts of time. This guilt does not seem to ruin her disposition however as she has been reported to be incredibly charismatic which she uses to great effect in business dealings. However she has also exhibited a sadistic streak when crossed, for this reason no allegations should be lobbied against her or at best we risk a a lawsuit. at worst we everyone investigating her will be ruined.Â
#3 Lady Limber Tea
While attempting to rescue a seal from Boston Harbor, Chamomile Grey happened upon an intact airtight chest of tea from the Boston Tea Party. Upon drinking the aged leaves Chamomile gains increased flexibility, loosening her tendons as well as her bowels. On occasion she’ll employ her powers for crime-fighting but she mostly uses them to show off during her yoga class. When she utters her catchphrase “It’s Tea Time!” prepare to either be kicked in the face or served cucumber sandwiches.
#2 A potato…who also sumo wrestles
Still trying to figure out the best setting on my scanner. Obviously haven’t found them. 🙂
Anyhow going with fighting vegetables theme, as the title states, this a is a potato who also happens to be a sumo wrestler. I figure he and Pickle Ninja will become friends after an intense battle similar to that of Rocky and Apollo Creed.
