Amazing zyps on Pumpkinstein. Great pose and color scheme. I like the use of the wood hands. Those seal the deal.

A CALL FOR ACTION
Original Character by DC-Lover; Story by The Atomic Punk

~ Chapter 2 ~

“Hey there! Gary Proulx at your service. Normally, I’d shake your hand. Looks like we’ll have to wait until the end of your therapy.”

Another dock worker… another mutilated hand… I bet his toxicology report lists him as positive for “jump” as well.

“Okay, we’re going to start with some simple finger exercises. Try to touch the tip of each finger to the tip of your thumb. Sorry, I am not licensed to prescribe medication. Here at the Empire State Med Center, we believe that drugs interfere with physical rehab. They are a last resort.”

Besides, I don’t want to get you hooked on pain killers. This is getting serious. The cops are too corrupt. The mayor and city council are too incompetent. This city needs someone to bring attention to what’s going on at the Wharf – especially at Club Nicco.

“Well, that was a productive first session. Soak your hand in this ice. I’ll be back in a minute. I have to make a phone call.

“Hey, Keith, it’s Gary. You free for lunch? I want to trade some notes. I have an idea for a citizens’ patrol that will put a spotlight on Club Nicco. Cool, see you there.”

I see my patient’s already checking himself out. Also, the nurse is handing him a white bag. Something tells me that his doctor didn’t write him a prescription. Yep, he just slipped her a fifty dollar bill.

This plan better work. If anything, I’ve spent weeks designing this costume. And it’s the middle of April, so it’s not for Halloween. Soon Greenpoint will know the name of its newest hero: Red Silver.

Cool! I like the different perspectives.

FOUR SISTERS
Characters by JR19759; Story by The Atomic Punk

“A’Ilia, I have come to you seeking a truth. May I approach?”

“You may not step into the golden light without consulting my sisters.”

“As you wish. L’Iria, I am dismayed by this rejection. Will you please lift my spirits?”

“The roses weep with you this day. For they, too, know of such loss. I could bring you much happiness with but a ruby kiss. However, time will heal your wound.”

“This is not tolerable. K’Iiai, bless me with strength.”

“You impose will on others yet lack compassion. I could steel your resolve with the cooling blue vapor. Alas, what you require is patience.”

“J’Alai, your sisters torment me so. Why do they refuse me? I travelled far and endured much hardship to find you. Please!”

“If it is happiness you desire, look to the good in others. Touch their hearts with your words. The green mist permeates the soul.”

“ A’Ilia, I have done as you required. Your sisters have offered me nothing. I beseech thee.”

“If you do not know the answer by now, you have been asking the wrong question.”

Disturbing and creepy!

Well, it seems most of the descriptions are centered around non-humans interactions with humans. For example, the Selkies seem non-confrontational, even timid as they are simply migrating to avoid humans. What kinds of relationships do non-humans have with each other? Aside from the obvious “bad” and “good” races. Are there any alliances or ancient rivalries?

I like what you have so far. However, it appears that the non-humans of Kairula are being pushed to the side by human incursion. Or, is that the direction you’re going?

[The Atomic Punk]

Thanks, WMD. I’m having lots of fun with Amy Atom and The One-Armed Bandit. White Place, Dairyland, is a quiet little hamlet about 20 miles north of Vanilla Falls. White Place is locally renowned for its creamy butter-cheese blend and bleach distillery.

Those gremlins are adorable! Are they available for adoption?

Time for my next villain for my hero, Guardian Angel…and give me some slack, I created the pose on my own here. I know it needs some improvement.

I can’t even draw stick figures. It’s what “drew” me to HeroMachine in the first place. Myself, and I believe most HM’ers, I look past many of the minor errors and flaws. The intent is there and the message comes through. That’s what’s important.

Destroyer is a cool character. I like the pose and the head is wicked.

Great character development and continuity.

HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION
Amy Atom and The One-Armed Bandit by WMDBASSPLAYER; Story by The Atomic Punk

Mrs. Finkelstein stood by the door smiling as the students sluffed into the classroom. The first day of their senior year and she could not be more proud.

“Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen! It’s going to be an exciting year, you betcha,” she proclaimed. “So, let’s start with some positive energy. Who wants to tell the class what they did over summer vacation?”

Silence. Finally, Tim Overton rose from his desk and walked to the chalkboard. “Yo, Ms. F., I got something for ya.”

“Why thank you, Timothy. Please remove your hat. Or at least face it front. And, sakes, pull up your pants!”

Tim jostled his jeans a little. “Ok, so like the bowling team. We went to Enyce for our trip.”

Mrs. Finkelstein interrupted, “Ooh, that’s a long way from our fair city of White Place, Dairyland, USA.”

Tim continued, “Yeah, it is. So we decided to sneak out of the hotel one night…”

B’ waved his hand, “Man, you guys hear about Amy Atom fighting off the One-Armed Bandit?”

“Bryan, please don’t interrupt.”

Tim paced back and forth with exaggerated hand gestures. “Hear about it? B’, we were there!”

That piqued the room’s attention. Students muttered and hooted. “Whoa!” “No way!” “You’re bs’ing us, man!”

“Yeah, so check,” Tim continued pacing. “It was me, Rufus, J-Pow, and MaxCat. We snuck out of the hotel. We got on the subway but got lost.”

Mrs. Finkelstein: “Well, you shouldn’t go around a strange city without adult supervision, donchya know.”

“Yeah, huh… ok… so we started doubling back but they had shut down the subway. Fire on the tracks or sumfin’. It’s really late and half the street lights are out. All of a sudden, there’s this armored truck barrelling down the street. We tried to wave him over but they wouldn’t stop.

“MaxCat looks up and sees this red glowing ball like bouncing from rooftop to rooftop. It stops and all of a sudden, this huge red laser beam comes from it. Bam! Knocks the truck into a building.”

The class was all ears. No one dared to even blink.

“Then the red ball jumps down from like 20 stories or sumfin’ like dat. Holy crap! It’s the One-Armed Bandit! He doesn’t even look at us. He’s going straight for the armored truck. Then from down the street, this purple laser blasts. Wham! Sends the One-Armed Bandit flying. Oh, he was pissed!

“He gets up to look what hit him. He was all: ‘Amy Atom, you… runt!’ Then man… freaking light show! Just boom and pow and sizzle. Red and purple beams blasting away! Crazy! So me and Rufus and J-Pow and MaxCat all jump behind the hole in the wall, ducking for cover.

“This goes on for like ten minutes! Amy Atom was all: ‘Fool, you’re mine!’ The One-Armed Bandit was like: ‘Bring it, little girl.’ Just freaking epic!

“Just as Amy was about to take him down, the One-Armed Bandit fires a shot in our direction. It hit the armored truck behind us. Man, we were so lucky not to get hit by parts and debris! Then we heard the guards in the truck moaning and yelling for help.

“It was enough to distract Amy. In that brief moment, the One-Armed Bandit escaped.

“J-Pow was: ‘Can you believe that midget let him get away.’ Yeah… that didn’t impress Amy at all.”
