The first installment in a topic no one cares about.

Little is known about the Warrior or his past. However, in the nineteen-forties, he became a founding member of a team of super-heroes known as “The All-Stars” (the rest of the original incarnation will come later. Right now, I’m working on the current incarnation). While his birth is believed to have been in the late nineteen-twenties, he has not seemed to have aged in years, appearing to have become immortal during the late nineteen-sixties.

In the early nineteen-seventies, the original All-Stars disbanded. The Warrior went off the grid. He was soon placed in charge of the Organization of Superheroes, a loosely organized group designed to find and train new heroes, and to keep heroes on the same side. He personally presides over one of their training sites, on location of an abandoned Vermont summer camp. This is where he personally trained several of the new All-Stars (The Electric Eel had been trained by his father from birth, and Ember was self-trained).

At the sites, as soon as someone is done with their training, they usually either go back to their daily lives or become independent heroes (often with ties to the Organization. The only people who stay past their training are All-Star candidates and certain special cases (i.e., they are at serious risk of death or capture).

When I came up with the concept, I swear I was not trying to even somewhat rip off Professor X. Actually, come to think of it, the majority of my characters are, at least to a certain degree, unintentional ripoffs. Just a fair warning as I continue to post.

For this weeks challenge: Attentater.

Early in Nazi Germany, a portal opened. Out stepped a cyborg from the distant future (ridiculous, yes I know.) He soon proves a deadly assassin, with “goggles” (they are, in fact, attached to him) that allow him to analyze the precise details of any object, skin reinforced with metal, and nearly superhuman strength. He also carries around several throwing knives and various other weapons, but only the guns are shown

The Olympians exist in this universe, but, unlike my previous version, are not a team. Here is the current Poseidon (father of the Electric Eel in this universe)

Chronos: Father Time, who was for the longest time known as the most upstanding superhero, started letting his dark side get the best of him. To maintain his image, he agreed to have a clone made of him that would receive the negative aspects of his personality. Father Time retained the positive aspects, and both received neutral aspects. The Warrior’s superhero organization, who also made the clone, kept the clone under maximum security, and blocked his powers to the best of their ability. And yet, somehow, the clone was able to escape, and did so without his powers. So now Father Time and the other heroes are going up against an immortal, teleporting, time-controlling evil genius.

Slight update of the Wolf. I will eventually play around with poses, and more with shading, but the next few posts will be ones that I have already made, but haven’t posted yet.

Well, obviously not complicated poses right yet, but how do you do poses other than standard poses?

[G. W.]

Thanks for the suggestion to borrow poses, HerrD. How exactly does one create complicated poses? Also, what exactly are you suggesting about the backgrounds?

Father Time: At some point in the ’40, although the exact when and how is unknown, Charles Saturn somehow ended up with the ability to teleport, travel through time (in both directions, although traveling into the future is extremely complicated), reverse time, travel through dimensions, and slow down time (although not speed up time, completely stop time, or fast forward through time.) He was a member of the original All-Stars (late ’50s, ’60s, and early ’70s), and, despite his age, still fights crime. He and the Warrior are the only surviving members of the team, and both have been made immortal by the waters of one of the “fountains of youth” (actually rivers, not fountains. One was on the isle of the wolves, where Canis was stranded, but it was not the only one. The insignia is an hourglass, but is partially blocked by Father Time’s staff.

The Wolf: Charles Canis (the only character who I came up with an alter ego for) was a soldier in World War II, stationed in Europe. On the way back to the U.S., his boat crashed onto an island, leaving Canis as the lone survivor. This island was, believe it or not, essentially a temperate forest. The island also had a ton of wolves. The first thing Canis did after taking a drink from a stream that ran off of the island was to build a shelter in the treetops to stay away from the wolves. Little known to him, the river granted its drinker immortality (though the effects are only on humans. He managed to avoid being bitten by the wolves for many decades. One day, his signal fire finally attracted attention from a boat bringing goods to Boston. Just as Canis was about to board, a wolf bit him. Unbeknownst to Canis, the wolves of the island had a bite which gave the person bit mostly controlled lycantrophy. However, when first bit, one does turn into a werewolf after a period of time. For Canis, the end of this period just happened to be shortly after the ship pulled into the harbor. The captain had actually been sent by the Swordsman, who knew about the island, and had heard that passing ships had seen smoke for decades, but none had come. The Swordsman spread rumors to keep anyone but his ships from going to the island. He told the “captain” to bring in Canis, hoping to, train him in controlling his lycantrophy if he had been bitten, and in using his immortality to do some good if not. So when Canis transformed, the “captain” shot him with a tranquilizer and summoned a portal to transport both himself and Canis to the Swordsman’s camp. The Wolf can control not just when he transforms, but how much he transforms (the transformed version attached is well over halfway along in the process, and is the form usually brought on in the first transformation, and a slightly less transformed form than the one brought on by sudden bursts of rage. Canis usually transforms just to the point of fangs and claws. A full transformation is a barely anthropomorphic wolf (unless the user of the power stays in full form for too long, in which case the user becomes a full on wolf forever.))

I do not have a new version of Rubber yet, so here is his god-awful original form (one of my earliest creations. He was born with natural rubber properties, including elasticity, bouncing, and insulation against electricity Also a member of the All-Stars. I didn’t get all that in to creating this character, admittedly. I might not even make him a member in this universe’s incarnation of the team.

The Comet: Since touching a comet containing some unknown substance at the age of nine, she has had the powers of flight, extreme speed, and extreme strength (her flight is faster than her running). Just a little older than Ember now, she was the only original All-Star who had just finished training at the swordsman’s facility. Originally the color scheme was red, white, and blue, but I ultimately decided to give the outfit a more consistent comet motif by using just shades of blue and light grey (and white).

Update of Ember’s shading: still not great, but I think it’s better (I gave up on the face for now.)

Thank you, Suleman. I will take your advice on the flames. The problem with the nose is a shading thing, not a color thing. The color was fine until I shaded the face.

Ember: Ember was an ordinary college student. Then, one day, he was  caught in a freak accident which gave him flight and flame manipulation abilities (including pyrokinesis). He is younger than the other All-Stars, was only briefly trained by the swordsman’s teachers (although this is partially because he learned how to control his powers very easily), and joined the All-Stars a couple years late. He tends to quip a lot more than the others, although this is primarily to mask his depression. This is my first time ever using shading. Please give me some advice on the nose.
