#3 – Rock

| November 3, 2011 | 3 Comments

One of the things I loved about the Bronze-age Marvel books which I read as a child, was the seemingly endless supply of villains which at the end of every issue would appear, normally yelling out some threat, or smashing something to get the heroes tired attention.

We wanted to create a team of bad guys (or gals) who embodied just that sense – a kind of absurd “you cannot be serious!” moment, tempered with a realization that these people are bad and want to hurt the good guys. That they may actually be a threat!

Tomorrow and Saturday will see Rock joined by her team mates…

 

 

#3 – Kriff

| November 3, 2011 | 2 Comments

Finally! I’m loosening up and my stuff is getting a little more dynamic. 30 Characters, you’re already working your magic!

Kriff, 19. The human child Brynn replaced. She was kidnapped as an infant and spent her life with a colony of forest trolls, cut off from all human contact. As such, she is as feral as any of her adopted family, often moreso due to a deep insecurity stemming from her unnatural appearance. Kriff is very sensitive to the fact that she herself is not a troll but isn’t sure she’d ever leave the only home she’s ever known. Fierce, hostile, mistrustful and coarse, despite her gentle human origins, she’d fight to the death to protect her clan.

#3 Afrodite

| November 3, 2011 | 8 Comments

Here is another new character from the story I am working on. It is obviously (I hope) tongue-in-cheek and spun with a humorous twist. This is Afrodite:

Angela D’Angelo was a nerd by day and a bigger nerd by night, studying botany and part-timing as a florist. While her scholarship was stellar and her grades were better than 4.0, her social life was staggeringly stiff spending most of her time alone with plants that would make most of us sneeze. When her scholarship’s status suddenly depended on more extracurricular involvement, she applied to a sorority to quickly make the grade. Ordered to attend a toga party to join, Angela knew she would never be accepted. Using her vast knowledge of plants and botanical brilliance, she created a pheromone from spores and petals that would make her seem lovely and attractive despite her otherwise appearance. The result was much more powerful than she realized and the potent new perfume convinced even her that she was a new young woman. The party proved a success beyond her wildest dreams as the young men around her felt compelled to carry out her every whim. Perfecting her formula further she discovered a new scent that would render anyone hypnotized by her perceived persona. Continuing to dawn her toga, she has assumed the identity of Afrodite, a beautiful vision of perfection and desire. Capable of convincing all mere mortals to do her bidding is only among the best of her gifts, as she has also used her nimble ingenuity to create other catastrophic concoctions to aid her in getting what she wants.  Should anyone happen upon her at a time when her lovely aroma begins to fade, they may catch a glimpse of the real girl inside who has a truly beautiful mind despite a lackluster look. Claiming to use her new power for purposes of progress rather than personal profit, the greater mystery is her motive and whether or not this Jekyll and Hyde heroism is indeed a part of her true identity.

 

#3 – Wikedpedia

| November 3, 2011 | 0 Comments

As mentioned with my first two entries, Dr. Defenso and Blackout, the first five of my characters are based on aspects of my personality. Hence, collectively, they are known as, “The Vitos.”

I am a huge trivia buff. Have been for a long time. I remember the very first Trivial Pursuit release, and I was even in a Trivial Pursuit club in high school. My wife hates playing trivia games with me, but whenever she needs some crazy factoid, she asks her “Vitopedia.” So, what if I used those “powers” for evil?

Wickedpedia is my version of the Riddler, and has a lot in common with my character, Die Twenty. Wickedpedia uses his knowledge of obscure facts to torture the Clique. The game is simple: answer his questions or someone dies.

NOTE: I’m using Hero-O-Matic (aka Fabrica De Herois) to create my characters. Give it a shot!

#3 Professor Neutrino

At long last, the maniacal scientist Professor Neutrino makes his debut! The Professor is responsible for the sexy, slithery Copperhead, and the poisonous fishman, Blowfish from last year’s 30Characters challenge. He’s added a few more creations to his army of mutated henchmen this year! Can nothing stop him?!

#2 Aurora

| November 3, 2011 | 4 Comments

Years ago, someone in the US Government decided that the most powerful nation on Earth needed an equally powerful team of superhumans to help defend it. So a secret project was started in hopes of creating a national superhuman defense task force from scratch. Billion dollar contracts went out to both defense & pharmaceutical firms, & everyone set out trying to build a better human. After years of research & wasteful spending, the first success story emerges: PFC Regina Carter.

All it took was a simple tweak to her bioharmonics, and like a light being switched, Carter’s psychokinetic potential had been awakened. Working with vibrational frequencies, not only can she manipulate objects with her the power of her mind in the traditional telekinetic sense, she also possesses a spatial awareness so acute, that operates almost like mental sonar. And while she can use her powers to mimic abilities like flight & superstrength, it seems intense heat is generated if she focuses on an object for too long. And while this does also grant her limited pyrokinesis, it’s a bit hard for her to maintain levitation for more than a couple of minutes before overheating & the fear of spontaneous combustion starts to set in.

But before she could ever properly put her newly developed skills to the test, Senate slashed all funding on Superhuman R & D in a round of massive budget cuts. However, still driven by a sense of duty, Regina’s forced to take her superheroic potential to the private sector.  Need a hand?

—-

I’m not really a superhero guy. Haven’t been for a bit. Though now that’s two in a row. This character was unique for me in that I didn’t know what I wanted exactly as much as I knew what I didn’t want. I was looking to create a flagship-style female superhero, but avoid a lot of the tropes & controversial choices you find in superhero books these days. For the most part, beyond artist error, I think she’s realistically proportioned. She’s not some crazy sexpot, so she could easily serve as a role model. And just because she’s black doesn’t mean she’s “from the mean streets” or the analog for some white character.

I got the drawing for this done a lot earlier than I did yesterday’s but got held up on a name & how to word the back story. So here it is now. Another hopefully later this evening.

#3 – Kriton by Beausephus

| November 3, 2011 | 1 Comment

 

CHARACTER NAME:  Kriton

ORIGINALLY CREATED : 1988

BASIC CONCEPT : An Alien trapped in our galaxy has to serve as a bounty hunter in our solar system in order to pay off an intergalactic crime boss to pay for the promise of a way back home.  Eventually he begins to accept that he may never get home and develops a grudging acceptance of his role and his inherent value in what essentially a bottom feeding type of job/existence.

____________

In 1988 my childhood best friend had an High School age brother who got our Elementary School minds obsessed with the Marvel Comics Role Playing Game.  In reality, my friend and I just rolled up characters and came up with story ideas… this is a common motif in my creative evolution…

So my pal wanted to make comic books out of our characters to sell at his school.  So we did, and these 20-30 page pamphlets featured 7-8 stories on hand-folded and stapled black and white photocopies of pages crammed with far too many panels and far too little storytelling.  ARKON COMICS (the name was my friend’s idea) featured some stories featuring my character, “Kriton.”  I was really into the Kirby Silver Surfer/FF stories, the concept of the Green lantern Corps, The Guardians of the Galaxy and the rest of the 1970s Marvel Comics “cosmic” story lines.    The main basis of “Kriton” however was Martian Manhunter.  Always one of my favorite characters Martian Manhunter, to this day, is one of the most under-used and underestimated characters in the DC Comics universe.  The core of Kriton was the flip side of Martian Manhunter – what if J’onn J’onzz hated the fact that he was trapped on earth?  What if there was a way out but he had to essentially whore himself out, debase his lofty morals, just to pay the ever-escalating price just to get home?  Kriton was angry, but not grim…he was pissed off at his station in life and the choices he was fully aware he made to get where he is.  Ho can such a character find peace, or at least acceptance?  Does the dream of going home ever actively become just that and not something to actively work toward?

The version of the character above represent the soul of the original design…in essence the costume is and alien with an egg shaped head encased in basic grey armor wearing what essentially was a sleeveless orange jumpsuit with big, puffy, silver, Reebok style 1980’s high-tops.  I added some small details and made some of the styling more dynamic…. however in the piece above I feel I got away from the absurd whimsy and naive visual design sense of my grade school self.  But here it is.

Day 4’s post will focus on one of Kriton’s co-stars in ARKON COMICS and the only character he liked enough to team-up with in other stories.

Thanks for checking my stuff out.

#2 Blazing Arrow

Blazing Arrow

Blazing Arrow

“I got my arrow/ I got my bow I got my fire /and I’m walking through the darkness/ slowly on a tightrope wire” – Blackalicious, “Intro: Bow & Fire”

The young man known to the gods of Earth as the Blazing Arrow was exploring abandoned buildings in a run-down part of his postindustrial hometown, when he happened across a magic compound bow.  For it turns out that, in their endless intrigues and squabbles, the gods can get careless with their power, allowing it to manifest on Earth in ways mortals can use.
When he picks it up, he transforms, in clothes and in aspect (into amore idealized version of himself). He is given the name Blazing Arrow by a goddess he helps, and now he takes on the gods, keeping them in check so that humanity can develop freely.

Some of the mythological/conceptual arrows he has include:
“The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”

The Arrow of Time – accelerates entropy

Cupid’s arrow

Artemis’ arrows of silver moonlight

Astras – Hindu supernatural weapons most often invoked into arrows

thunder-arrows

Loki’s mistletoe arrow, which killed Baldr (seeks out hidden weaknesses)

Arrows of the Egyptian goddess Neith – the blazing arrow (limitless sun) and weaving arrow

 

Track: Blackalicious, “Intro: Bow & Fire”

(notes: here is precisely what I had beforehand, from my notebook: “Blazing Arrow: Black archer hero

Someone who uses magic arrows, the favor of a goddess s/he released from a crystal prison… rather than trick arrows a la green arrow or hawkeye, s/he fights with the idea of an arrow. speed, velocity, direction, piercing, cupid, robin hood, artemis, wayfinding, divination, ancient arrowheads.”)

sent to earth as a child as part of the galactic forign exchange student program, abe marshall was raised to use his super human powers for the good of mankind. so he did as the powerfly muscled “the solomonite.” but as he grew older and wiser he realized that each enemy was bigger and more powerful than the last.  the planet he loved so dearly was taking more and more damage, and the people he was fighting to save were dying more and more. as he was pondering this a man in black robes apeared and offered him the solution. to rev up his already incrediblly powered body and render him truely invincible. with his insanely powerful body pushed beyond known limits, abe no longer knew pain, fear, weakness, or even humanity. he used his powers to take over the earth to spare them from poor decisions.

it was only his beloved evelyn that kept him from  losing the last shreds of himself. but when she grew ill with an incurable malady, the cloaked man returned again with a new offer. he would save her life- all abe had to do was kill the ghostrunner.

will apear later in grin-n-spirit

 

#3 Jackie Flanagan – Shock Jock

| November 3, 2011 | 0 Comments

“Now listeners, I’m gonna talk about something a lot of people aren’t going to like, but that’s what I do here. That’s why you come to me. Because I tell it like it is.

“Nowadays everyone says that the world was better before She-Marvel died fighting Doctor A-bombo, but I don’t really see it. The murderers still kill, the robbers still steal and there’s still a bunch of heroes that fly around with their collective thumbs up their butt. So what really changed? Nothing, that’s what.

“Sure, people talk about all the good the She-Marvel did, about all those crimes she stopped and those villains she foiled. They talk about how awful it is that she isn’t around to prevent them anymore. But look at the statistics. The crime rates for the year preceding her death and this last year following it, virtually identical. Do you hear that? Virtually identical. Now how could she have had that big an impact on the city everyone talks about, if there’s the exact same amount of crime now as there was before, even months after she died?

“‘But, Jackie, what about the times she saved the world? Doesn’t that count for anything?’ Of course it does, if they actually happened. Not to speak ill of the dead, but look at what proof we got. Some demolished buildings, a bunch of dead people and an exclusive interview with that boytoy reporter of hers at the Galaxy. This is supposed to convince us that we were all on the brink of doom, and only were pulled back from the edge thanks to actions of our fearless hero, She-Marvel? Yeah right, I’ve met yahoos in tin hats with better evidence of aliens putting radios in their head. At least they could pick up FM.

“And for all you out Marvelinians or whatever you call yourselves, preaching about the holy gospel of She-Marvel, really that’s your choice for messiah? An alien that entered the country, entered illegally I don’t hesitate to add, and decides to undertake a dedicated career of reckless disregard for this fine country’s law and traditions. Always talking about peace and understanding, while at the same time beating the everlovin’ snot out of anyone that crossed the lines of her moral codes. Now that’s what I call a role model. Why don’t you loonies just grow mustaches and hang up pictures of Hitler? I don’t know about you but we got enough inspirations on this planet that we don’t need to go making a hero out of this hypocrite. Why look towards Martin Luther King or George Bush for inspiration? Why not one of the thousands of HUMANS that weren’t born with superpowers but still managed to make the world a better place?

“Now let’s go to the phones. Hello, you’re on the air with Jackie Flanagan…”

#3 Vox Malum

| November 3, 2011 | 0 Comments

Vox Malum

First sighting: Two years ago.

Alias: Boss Bad, Hulkface

Identity: Secret – Arnold Calpern

Abilities: Powerful sorcerer, Level Five spellcaster,

Skills: Spellcasting, spirit conjuring, temporary dimension hopping

Weaknesses: Permanently bonded to the mask of Malum Corick

Weaponry: The Mask of Malum Corick and the Staff of Voxivon

Arnold Calpern was a typical geek who wanted more in life. No longer content with playing MMORPGs with people he wouldn’t last a day with in the real world nor purposely trolling webpages, Arnold wanted to be a powerful person. He went on vacation with his parents to Italy where he wandered through secret passages in this old temple . Recognizing the temple as something he saw in a game, Arnold read and deciphered the inscriptions on the wall, which were written in Latin and an odd language he recognized from an old sci-fi series he memorized.

By the time he got to the end, Arnold found a box containing a horned demon’s mask and a plastic-looking scepter. He thought to himself that they were pieces of junk, but he kept them anyway. Back home, Arnold looked on the internet searching for any information about what he had found in Italy.

“Indutum in obscuro faciem male habebit vocem virtutis” was written on the mask. Translated, it means “Whoever wears the mask of the evil voice shall have dark power.” Tempted, he put it on, and it turned him into a vile, yet powerful sorcerer. The power of the mask, as well as the memories of the last bearer, Ephram Corick, were transferred into the unsuspecting wearer. From that point on, Arnold Calpern was no more. Only Vox Malum, the dark lord of the dominion, remained ready to reek havoc on this modern age of heroism as well as have the power he craved forever.

Vox Malum: (C) and TM Jeff Harris dba Studio Lightcount.

#2 – Alwin Pemberton, the Bright Knight

| November 3, 2011 | 0 Comments

They were truly the Dark Ages…

For the previous four centuries, the Roman Empire fought with all it’s might against the invading forces from beyond the skies.

Even with their glimmering flying machines, their impervious suits of armor, their divine strength and wisdom and their abundant knowledge of the mystic arts, it had taken them that long to truly crush the Last Legion’s mighty spirit.

But, alas, Rome did fall and burn, and the age of the God Conquerors thus began: With them and their progeny as the new lords and ladies ruling over the land, and the mere mortal men their slaves and workforce.

Some accepted the inevitability of their fate, as it was the place of mortals to serve and worship the gods. Yet others rebeled.

Brave men continued to fought against the invading hordes, knowing full well their numerous advantages against the mere steel of their swords.

Wise men studied day and night to master the god’s secrets, using their own magics against them, even at the cost of their minds and bodies.

And beyond them all was a man both wise and brave. A man who was able to bring hope and unity throughout the land, taking their rebel forces and turning them into an actual army. Many saw him as a messiah. The once and future king returning to his throne to deliver us from evil and slavery.

Sadly, Alwin Pemberton was not this man.

In fact, Alwin Pemberton was not even born when the brave prophesied king and his armies fell under the Conquering God’s war machines in their glorious last stand. And though the invaders suffered greatly, they were still able to recover.

Yet Alwin Pemberton would have to do.

Those at least were the last thoughts of a dying Myrddin Wyllt, the legendary king’s military advisor and chief sorcerer, whom Alwin stumbled into one stormy night while looking for cover under a dead three through an act of sheer happenstance.

Except the old wizard did not believe in such things as luck or coincidences.

For the last 14 years, Myrddin had been both thinkering and guarding the late king’s best guarded secret: A suit of armor made entirely with metals and magic from the God Conqueror’s arsenals. It had been forged more than a thousand times by expert blacksmiths who covered it in protective runes and charms from their frozen homelands. Myrddin had conjured for it two giant metal wings, made with the same mystic cauldrons the gods used to propel their vessels through the clouds.

And finally, there was the sword: The Grass Blade, so called for the green hue with which it’s otherworldly steel shined. The blade had been forged through a ritual known only to the mage himself who had even gone so far as to temper the rare metal with his own hands. It was capable of cutting through anything and anyone, deflecting all attacks no matter their nature and was even supposed to be able to summon the winds and the lighting to smite down it’s enemies.

All of this power was now on young Alwin’s hands. It would be his life’s mission from now on to continue with Myrddin and the King’s crusade. To learn the secrets of the armor and become the hero his people so desperately needed. He would need to use the armor to bring hope and strength to the masses, to embolden them into once again unite against the God Conquerors.

And so begins the legend of the man who united the whole world in it’s darkest moment against the first alien invasion never known by mankind. This is the story of King Alwin Pemberton, The Bright Knight.

#2 FREON The Snowclops

A character that came to me during the crazy October snow storm we had on the east coast this past week. I could easily see FREON the Snowclops becoming a Z-Girl and the 4 Tigers villain.

Day 02 – Grizelda Vedette

| November 2, 2011 | 0 Comments

Grizelda Vedette as born into a upper/middle-class family well known for their super-natural genetic line. In her world, it is uncommon to come across a person who doesn’t have some form of “super powers”. Grizelda began developing and training her powers since they first began to appear at the age of 5. By the age of 18 her list of abilities includes powers such as being bullet proof, super speed (her personal favorite of her abilities), and energy manipulation (including but not limited to blasts and fields). She prefers to wear tights to keep her form streamline when she runs and purple just because it is her favorite color. Her mask appears to make her eyes glow as a side effect of the technology that allows her to see farther and better when moving at mach speeds. Even when her mask is off, her eyes appear white. In actuallity, they have developed an extra thick cornea which allows her to run at high speeds even without her protective mask. When Grizelda first figured out she had super speed she went out for a run one night and stumbled upon a young demon boy about to be sacrificed by an unknown cult. Releasing the boy out of pity, she thought nothing of the event until it came back to haunt her 10 years later in the form of the demon Maximus.

#1 Windwalker

| November 2, 2011 | 4 Comments

Andrea Tennant has the both the body of a model and the mind of a brilliant scientist.  She’s the latter–a scientist working at the cutting edge of advanced technology.  That doesn’t stop her from doing modelling on the side and taking part in sports, specifically martial arts, running, and swimming.

But she’s also bored.

All of that changes when she makes a breakthrough–creating  a device that uses the Earth’s magnetic field to allow someone to actually fly.  Always a quick thinker, Andrea decides to pursue this new path; she develops a costume and equips it with the device (in the form of a belt) and using a pair of high tech goggles, she turns to life as the crimefighter “Windwalker”.  Using her martial arts skills and the fact that she can fly, Andrea soon ends up enjoying her new nighttime activity.

The downside, of course, is that she rarely gets much sleep.

#2 Grief

| November 2, 2011 | 0 Comments

This is Grief.

Her power is to summon fear imps from the nightmare realm.  As her opponents fear level rises (or most any other strong emotion she is able to summon more powerful creatures.

 

Her powers emerged as she hid in a closet as a little girl and watch her parents get brutalized then tortured to death.  Her fear, anger and sorrow were so deep, she became a “beacon” for creatures of the nightmare realm.  Now she welcomes them to her as friends, allies and companions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

G. Brett Williams #2 – Mars, Bringer of War

| November 2, 2011 | 0 Comments

Mars, the “Bringer of War,” named after Roman god of war and the battlefield, was one of the original American Evos. Like Cyclone, Mars was a soldier before his powers evolved. Jackson Reed was a soldier in the army, a veteran of both the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns. He was the oldest of the original Evos and always resented being pulled out of the army and placed on the team. Jackson recognized from the beginning that the team was just a publicity stunt and it drove him crazy. He was a soldier, had decided long ago to give his life to the Army, and anything that took him out of that world seemed like a waste of time. But Jackson Reed was a good soldier, and when he was given an order, even if he disagreed with it, he followed it to the letter. So when he was given the codename Mars and placed on the team, he went along with it. When Cyclone, a younger military man from the Air Force was placed in charge of the group, he bristled but kept quiet. And when the time came for things to escalate, when Evos could no longer stay off the battlefield, it was Mars, not Cyclone, to which the United States turned. His battle with the Devil’s Saint in the Mexican conflict was brutal and destructive, and it made Mars feel alive once again. This was a man bred for war and for war he lived.

Mars particularly flourished during the Faceless conflict. It was the Faceless conflict that forced Mars and Cyclone to finally put aside their own issues with one another and work together. Mars was a natural leader and great military strategist and it was his Red Hand Legion that managed to hold the Russian front long enough to allow Cyclone and his people to free the Dragon Soldiers. Despite being instrumental in their release, Mars was completely distrustful of the Dragon Soldiers. While working alongside groups of them was sometimes unavoidable, Mars refused to integrate them into the Red Hand. Mars felt he couldn’t trust the Dragon Soldiers and wanted little to do with them, choosing instead to comprise the Red Hand of nothing but humans and Evos. The loyalty Mars inspired in his men was strong and nearly unwavering. They would have followed him to the gates of hell, and at times he led them close.

After the war, there was a great fear among Cyclone and his closest allies that Mars would bring the Red Hand Legion to bear against Cyclone’s power base. In an attempt to appease the warrior, Cyclone offered to make him the warlord in charge of Russia and much of Eastern Europe. Having been stationed throughout Eastern Europe throughout the Faceless War, Mars was happy with this arrangement. He rules over his land with the power of the Red Hand Legion behind him. Dragon Soldiers are not welcome inside his borders. Much speculation surrounds Mars. There are whispers that inside his borders, he strengthens his army and waits for the moment when he can overthrow Cyclone’s regime.

Mars’s evolved power is that of super strength and near-invulnerable skin. As with most Evos, his aging has seemed to slow down and his true age is difficult to determine.

#2 Dark John Blackwater

Dark John Blackwater

Born to a voodoo sorceress of vast powers, Dark John Blackwater was always looking to catch his mother’s proud eye. When he discovered that Bahahl, Master Demon of the Fifth Hell, was plotting great evil for this world, John was powerless to stop him. That is, until John called on Bahahl’s greatest adversary of the fiery depths, the Guardian Below, Anubyst himself. Now physically changed by the demonic wolf, John hopes he can successfully tap the dark powers without losing himself in the process.
