………………..So…yeah…This guy happened.
*shrug*
I originally came up with this character a while back but didn’t give him the heromachine treatment because I could never settle on a look that I liked.
He’s supposed to be kind of like a trucker who, instead of driving a truck, uses a suit of armour that effectively makes him like a human truck….You don’t want to get hit by either.
———————————————————————————————————–
Clancy O’Brian was always teased for his size, even as a child, he was abnormally tall and overweight. But he was also immensely strong and he knew it. By the time he hit high school, Clancy had become a bully and a thug, terrorising anyone he even thought was making fun of him.
When he dropped out of school (or rather, when he was kicked out for bullying) he only seemed to get angrier as he continued to get larger, eventually becoming hired muscle for the many criminals in his city.
Clancy’s younger and far more intelligent brother, however, couldn’t be any different. Ryan was not only accepted into several prestigious colleges due to his impressive intelligence, he actually invented a powered suit to help Clancy with his decreasing mobility, whose sheer size was having a serous impact on his spine. Eventually, he would end up paralysed if not for his brothers suit.
But rather than showing some deserved gratitude, Clancy forced Ryan to upgrade the suit even further to enhance his already considerable strength. Fearful of his brother, and rightfully so, Ryan complied.
Sick and tired of just being a lackey, Clancy adopted the name Wide Load and decided to use his size and strength to take all of the things he thought he rightfully deserved.
Clancy isn’t just an angry psychopath though, as evidenced by his infatuation with Knockout.
When Wide Load met the young heroine, he fell madly and passionately in love with her. He even tried to show her that he could be a good guy for a time. But when she continually rebuked him, he eventually snapped, thinking that it was because of his size.
In her defence, Knockout was gay and wasn’t interested in any man. At this point in time, Knockout hadn’t come out to anyone but her closest friends and wasn’t comfortable telling a crazy criminal like Clancy.
Since then, Wide Load has become one of Knockout’s most recurring foes. He’s still obsessed with her but he’s not above showing his anger. He never has been.

A side project in the same vein as the medical droid I posted last month.
I wanted rp medic character to have some kind of companion but, as cute/weird as the droid was, he didn’t really fit. So I started working on something else instead.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Code Blue Medical Assistant Dog….Or just Cody.

A remake of the Nowhere Kids wisecracking teleporter, Sidestep.
I’ve been working on this guy for the better part of two weeks now and I’m sick of the sight of him so I’m posting him now and moving on to something else before I spend the rest of my life tweaking his costume.

Christian Hart joined the air force right out of high school. Never wanting to do anything other than fly, he quickly earned his wings and spent few decades in the air. Under the call sign Arclight, Hart earned the respect of many with his flying skills and his dedication to the men and women he fought alongside.
Hart, under the call sign Arclight, now commands Phantom Squadron, based on Star Island military base just off the coast of Freedom City. The Phantoms are often called into help deal with the many threats faced by mad supervillain weapons, massive robots and alien invasions that inexplicably seem drawn to the area.
Arclight and the Phantoms have earned the respect of not only the superhero community for providing much needed backup but of the general population for keeping them safe.

No, I’m not just being weirdly descriptive or lazy with these names. They’re named after atomic bombs.
When the nuclear powered her known as Atomic’s powers became unstable, he tried his best to reach an unpopulated area. He managed to avoid killing anyone in the explosion caused by his eventual death but the fallout poisoned the inhabitants of a small town.
Only four people survived the exposure to the radiation but they gained bizarre powers and became twisted both physically and mentally.
Fat Man, Little Boy and Black Betty, under the leadership of Mind Wave, formed The Children of the Atom, a radical group that initially sought to end the use of nuclear energy but eventually shifted their goals due to Mind Wave’s growing megalomania.
Fat Man, the human warhead, is easily the groups muscle. Little boy is a far more sinister threat though. Actually the oldest member of the group, his enormous eyes can hypnotise people to do his bidding.
