Of course if the first Geek is The Lucniverse’s answer to Batman, that would make this next one its answer to Robin.
Geek (The Second)
Real name: Penelope York
Age: 22
Sex: Female
Alignment: Hero
Affiliations: H.O.P.E.
Powers/Skills: Skilled martial artist and freerunner, genius level intellect, talented hacker and inventor. Unlike the original Geek, Penelope’s high intelligence comes from a small mutation that allows her brain to function on a much higher level than most human beings.
Weapon(s): A variety of gadgets created from old electronics, including an upgraded version of the original Geek’s signature weapon to allow for dozens of new functions and attack modes for the iconic mouse-whip.Though the original lost his life in the first invasion of Earth, Geek was far from dead. His legacy lives on now in Penelope York. For a short time during the original Geek’s heroic career, he had been a mentor to a young girl with an inhumanly high level of intelligence due to an extremely rare mutation in her genetic code. He took young Penelope under his wing after rescuing her from a laboratory where a villain with a similar mutation had been performing several twisted experiments on her to see if he could boost his own intelligence even higher.
Following the original Geek’s heroic sacrifice, it inevitably fell to his former pupil Penelope to fill his shoes. As it turns out, there was no better person to take up the mantle, as the student quickly surpassed her master by vastly improving on Garrett’s inventions and techniques. She quickly earned her place as both one of the world’s most influential heroes, and as second in command within H.O.P.E. Unfortunately, the decision to make Penelope the group’s second in command has caused some minor conflict among the members of H.O.P.E., many of the older members believing she isn’t yet ready for such responsibility regardless of her talents and success as a hero and vigilante.
Next up, The Lucniverse’s answer to Batman, sorta.
Geek (The First)
Real name: Garrett Chase
Age: 28
Sex: Male
Alignment: Hero
Affiliations: None
Powers/Skills: Skilled martial artist and freerunner, genius level intellect, talented hacker and inventor. Totally human with no powers, so all skills are simply natural talent.
Weapon(s): A variety of gadgets created from old electronics, his most iconic being a computer mouse filled with several small weights which he conceals in his sleeve to use as a whip, flail, and even grappling hook.Despite his rather humble beginnings and skills compared to most other heroes, the vigilante known as Geek managed to become one of the world’s most well known and respected heroes, often seen fighting side by side with many members of H.O.P.E. in times of crisis, though not an official member of the group himself.
Through much of his life, Garrett Chase was exactly as his alias says: A geek. Garrett was the kind of guy who just avoided people completely, a loner who liked just spending his free time tinkering with any little electronics he could get his hands on and quite often turning them into remarkable feats of engineering, which would only be wasted as he never shared those wonderful inventions with anyone else due to his avoidance of social interaction. The only person he ever seemed willing to talk to was his younger brother, and when Garrett lost him, he gained his new life as “Geek”.
Garrett’s brother died in what the media claimed to be a terrorist attack by an unknown supervillain, and the shock of losing the only person he could talk to hit him hard. He swore a vendetta not just against the villain whose attack had killed his brother, but against any criminals who would ever dare to take another person’s life. In the years following the supposed terrorist attack, Garrett Chase seemed to disappear completely, devoting all his time to training and honing his body, as well as creating a vast arsenal of gadgets and tools to aid in his new pursuit of justice. The man who came back was no longer Garrett Chase, he was now and forever would simply be known as Geek.
However, six years ago Geek discovered a truth that shook him to his core. The villain whose attack caused his brother’s death did not exist. What killed his brother was the explosion of one of Garrett’s own inventions overheating and detonating. Not only was he the one truly responsible for his brother’s death, but also for any others that had been hurt or killed by the blast. For several months he abandoned his heroics and returned to his old life of seclusion, until he saw a chance at redemption in the form of the first attempted alien invasion of Earth (More on that later!). Taking down the mothership required what would surely be a suicide mission, and while many other heroes were willing to make the sacrifice, in the end it was Geek who gave his life to bring down the mothership and deliver the major blow that was needed to drive off the invading alien forces.
This one took quite a bit more effort than usual due to the size being too big to even fit in HM’s wide view, meaning I had to play around with maneuvering to get the cut off bits visible enough to copy and paste onto the full image via MS Paint. So, it’s probably not going to fit in the post itself either, so just click the attachment for the full view!
Here’s Grid, the result of the world’s most powerful technopath merging with the world’s most powerful supercomputer, essentially becoming some sort of machine god. Thankfully she’s one of the good guys, but there’s always a constant fear of what could happen if she went mad with power…
And what’s a hero without a villain to clash against? Here’s the massive mechanical menace Monster Truck to cause some trouble for Horsepower. And I suppose I should make this joke before somebody else does: He is one big mother trucker.
Can’t have a superhero universe without at least one person with superspeed, so here’s the cyborg speedster Horsepower.

I don’t know what’s more disturbing about Jazz. Her teeth or her man-hands.
Great characters.
They’re not man-hands, they’re her jazz hands
Anywho, time for some backstory stuff regarding these pale, toothy creatures as well as another of them!
They’re beings known simply as “Pale Ghouls”, odd creatures who seem to appear at the sites of horrible tragedies, deaths, and disasters and manifest strange, eccentric personalities based upon the locations they haunt. For instance, the twins Comedy and Tragedy inhabit an old abandoned theatre where a horrible murder occurred on stage, the Candyman resides within a candy store that shut down after the owner poisoned several children, and Jazz calls a burned down old jazz club her new home. Pale Ghouls tend to be extremely cruel and mischievous, as well as very erratic and unpredictable with their actions. Their world is ruled over by a being known simply as the Pale King, who rose to power by overthrowing the Ghoul World’s former monarchy and sealing its old rulers in several masks, one of which found itself into the hands of the rock star who would eventually use it to become the villainous Metalhead.
Another new villain, from the same strange world as the Comedy/Tragedy twins and the Candyman. Here’s Jazz.
Alrighty, here’s the next set of items! They can be found in Neckwear-Standard (last page), Tops-FemaleBustiers (last page), and Companion-Dinosaurs (first page). Good luck!
The bow wasn’t quite mean enough, so I fixed that with a nice, fearsome heart in the middle!
