This is Starchild after he adopts the full mantle of Starborn.
Starborn is probably my third favourite character after Dragonfly and Adrenaline and I’ve even been using him alongside Bad Dog in DC Universe Online (xStarbornx). This is actually much closer to the in game image than my depiction of Bad Dog was, with only a couple of very minor tweaks.
I’m really happy with how this one turned out because I put it of for a very long time because I knew how difficult it would be. I know it doesn’t look that difficult but it took forever.

Stink Bug is exactly as gross and obnoxious as his name suggests. His body generates a number of noxious and sometimes toxic gasses which he is all too keen to use in his enemies or just anyone who gets in his way. Stink Bug is only outmatched in terms of sheer size by the Goliath Beetle. His wings, stolen technology created by the inventor Static Buzz, have been heavily modified but are still barely capable of lifting him off the ground. In flight, he is slow and ungainly. This has been the saving grace of many of his opponents because once the Stink Bug gets a hold of you, the fight is practically over.

Let’s take a (sort of) break from the influx of insects to bring you a supporting character in Dragonfly’s story. Specifically his girlfriend, Nicole Alton.
Aspiring investigative journalist Nicole Alton didn’t always play such an important part in Dragonfly’s life. In fact, while she and Alex McKnight (Dragonfly’s civilian identity) have been friends for a long time, Nicole was unaware that her friend was Dragonfly and actually didn’t like the so called hero or any of the growing number of insect meta’s. Mistrust and outright hatred of the insectoids was not an uncommon mindset among the general population until relatively recently, thanks to several large scale attacks on various cities by the Locust King and his army of drones.
Nicole, showing her skill for investigative journalism, eventually discovered Dragonfly’s secret identity. The fact that Dragonfly turned out to be a close friend was initially an emotional gut punch and Nicole, feeling betrayed, came very close to releasing the story to the public. She ultimately decided not to go through with it however, thanks in no small part to an emotional confrontation with Alex. For a brief time afterward, the secret revealed threatened to dissolve the friendship between Nicole and Alex but with no more secrets between the two, they ultimately grew closer and even began dating.
Since then, while Nicole had some initial reservations about the relationship, the two have become all but inseparable and have worked together on many investigations. Nicole’s attitude towards the general insectoid population has now done a complete 180 after meeting many of them and she has become one of their strongest and most vocal supporters.

Leaping into the hearts and minds of The Ant Queen’s court comes “The Fantastic Flea”!
This young, Canadian, wannabe hero may not be the biggest, the strongest or even the smartest but he makes up for it with endless cheer, enthusiasm and determination. Flea plans to one day become the greatest hero the world has ever seen and while some may scoff at the idea, those who know him, know not to underestimate him. One day, Flea may very well become the worlds greatest hero.

You knew this was coming. I can’t have a collection of insect themed characters and not have a Lady Bug.

The worlds top spy, John Doe.
I challenged myself here to create a costume for John that looked like he fit into a superhero world but also didn’t stand out too much, since he’s a spy and all. So While I’ve created much better looking costumes than this, I think this one works for the character.
Also, there’s a weird kind of symmetry with John whenever he shows up in my life. When I first came up with the concept for the him, he was number 100 on my list. And when I finally got around to creating this image, he was number 200 in my character folder, which I didn’t realize until after the fact.

The latest soldier to join my ever increasing army of insect characters. The butterfly themed Holly Blue.

Harbinger is plagued by visions of the future and will do anything within her power to prevent these disasters from coming to pass. Her actions have, in the past, led some to label her a “villain” but Harbinger knows everything she does is for the greater good.
