CamruthParticipantHappy New Year (belatedly) to all.
CamruthParticipant@Mad Jack said:
Thanks! Well, like the name says the public domain is open for everybody, so why shouldn’t we have the same characters. It’s the way you use them in a new story that counts in my eyes. But don’t forget to do your research on new trademarks to old names – that’s why I changed some of them…Yeah I have had to do the same, in my world (the Alterniverse) they were all still active in WWII with the modernisations for the most part being Legacies – descendants of the original or inspired by the original, or in some cases, actually are the original.
CamruthParticipantOnce I finish the final 3 GoJ members I will be moving on to their evil counterparts, the League of Villainy and then I will start on the Iron Age (90’s) incarnation the Guardians of Vengeance (lots of guns, shoulder pads and bad attitudes).
CamruthParticipantAw dang it, I’ve been working on a project using golden age public domain characters too but you beat me to it, even including updating the costumes. Fortunately we don’t have too many the same. I am using Minimidget (and Ritty), Liberator, and Wonder Boy, plus the original Wonder Man who came before the Wonderman you have used, I was also going to use Skyman and White Streak (Manowar) but I think I’ll change them up now. Awesome work on the costumes, much better than I could do.
CamruthParticipantI second Anarchangel’s comment, some very cool and interesting characters there.
CamruthParticipantPat Two of the Guardians of Justice team.
Here we have the GoJ’s resident gentle giant Jotun. Joun has a secret that I will let you in on; the publc view is that he is a man with growth powers, whilst in reality he is a giant with shrinking powers – a fact that is a closly guarded secret known only to a select few (not even all his team mates know). He never shrinks smaller than his statuesque 7’2″ Jotun persona if it ca possibly be avoided. If he must, he can shrink to as small as 6″ tall.
Rivaled in strength only by Captain Wonder.
And rounding out part two we have Redbow, the Scarlet Archer (he was originally called Red Arrow but then a few years ago DC decided to rename Roy Harper that when he was in the Justice League of the time).
Look for the final three members of the Guardians of Justice and the related group the Young Guardians (like the Teen Titans/Young Avengers).
CamruthParticipantThe Guardians of Justice are the modern day equivalents of the Guardians of Liberty / Guardians of Democracy; the premiere hero-team of the alterniverse. The full roster includes nine members, following are three of them:
First up is Nightstalker, the Alterniverse equivalent of Batman (lets face it, everyone makes their own version of Batman).
Next up is Mind Witch; a telepath and telekinetic who has started studying true magic.
And rounding out the trio is Sun Lover; a living solar battery, Sun Lover absorbs solar radiation through her skin hence her minimal costume. Most people underestimate her due to the costume but she has the potential to be one of the strongest members of the team. Currently her powers include enhanced endurance, quick healing, and the ability to project a strong glow from her eyes (she can focus this glow into coherent beams much like a laser but this drains her stored power quickly so she uses it only as a last resort).
The other members as well as individual bios will be posted over the next week or so as I finish machining them.
CamruthParticipantWhilst waiting for the rest of the WarWear suits to be declassified I thought you guys might like a peek at N.E.X.U.S or the National EXecutive for Ultrahuman Studies. They are a bit S.H.I.E.L.D, a bit Project Cadmus and a bit S.T.A.R Labs, being the government agency responsible for the study (and control and potential neutralisation) of the growing Ultrahuman (superpowered) community.
This is a standard N.E.X.U.S field operative geared up for a mission.Obviously not all N.E.X.U.S personnel wear this all the time, there is a standard issue uniform that is much more normal looking with the colour of the star emblem denoting their field of specialty.

CamruthParticipantThat looks awesome!
CamruthParticipantThrough reverse engineering alien and cutting edge armour, N.E.X.U.S has developed the WarWear system for the US Military. WarWear is a modular battlesuit system that consists of a base suit that can be fitted with a range of interchangeable modules to create a battlesuit for specific purposes. The Base Suit Looks Like this:
So far they have presented three specific variation on the WarWear base:
The Interceptor, specifically tailored for aerial missions.
The Cruiser, tailored for aquatic missions, including submersible.And The Aggressor, tailored for land-based operations, with climate specific modifications (Desert, Arctic and Jungle have been unveiled so far).
The images for these suits are still classified but should be released when the suits are unveiled to the general populace.
CamruthParticipantHad my first try at using non-standard poses, kept it simple as I am still getting the hang of making all the bits line up.
CamruthParticipantThe Foxtress looks awesome, your first character looks good too but to me, the head seems out of proportion to the rest of the body, it just looks too big. But that is just my first reaction.
Awesome work, looking forward to seeing what else you come up with.
CamruthParticipantThe Blue boots especially as options for females are much more limited than for Males.
CamruthParticipantthe War Birds are looking good, can’t wait to meet the rest of the team.
CamruthParticipantYeah Lucifer’s story is great, I’m interested to find out what changed him between this and his Morningstar persona posted earlier.
