WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantHaven’t thought of a backstory, but here’s there superhero version of Liberty.
WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantWasn’t sure if I wanted to make this a new hero or not. But for now, here’s my interpretation of Lady Liberty.
WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantJust an idea or more accurately, some practice. Putting this here more for the opinion of you guys on the art itself. Maybe it could be used in the story when the art phase is underway. You guys do great work and I respect your opinions and advice. No real title for this. Maybe, Miss X Returns To Hong Kong? BTW, what do you think of the Ascension poster?
WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantJust thought, a lot of what Ascension is about has some strong similarities with Fear and Loathing. Not to the point of worrying about copyrights. Just thinking that if you guys are not familiar with them, the Marshal Law stories might provide some good inspiration. http://www.comicsreview.co.uk/nowreadthis/2009/03/31/marshal-law-fear-and-loathing/
WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantAlso Iscarioto, as an after thought, the seeming agelessness of Miss X is another part of her mystique, if you will. Most men already underestimate the physical strength of women, and I see Miss X as a tall, well built woman without being overly muscular, unlike most of the females I make. That’s part of what makes her so lethal; no one knows jack about her, but rumors abound. Enemies think she must be old as hell to be so experienced. Enemies see her and think, “This bitch thinks she’s bad; this won’t take long,” and by then the fight is over and lost. She’s like a female Batman type; peak physical and mental training, above and beyond optimum human conditioning, but it’s her drive, determination and above excellent tactical skills as much as her physical abilities that make her so dangerous. Think Amanda Waller mixed with the Huntress.
WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantJR, I like your ideas for explaining Miss X not being in the mix from the beginning. Iscarioto, no offense taken at all. In fact I have been thinking about how old she would be. The old regenerative formula treatment would help explain some, but that’s counter to her refusing enhancement in her origin story. I picture Miss X as a very athletic, energetic and youthful late 40’s to mid 50’s. Having studied martial arts myself for about 20 years, I’ve seen my share of asskicking older people. You pretty much play her out as I see her in my mind, so I may adapt most of your ideas to flesh her out. Regading us all hooking up on Face book to share info, I’m cool with that.
WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantA sherpa rat? Cool!
WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantExperimenting with making pages.
WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantJumping in here with the thoughts as I read things, so forgive me if it was already covered. Regarding JR’s idea of a painkiller system for the cyborgs, how about something like a permanent implant which kills pain signals to the brain. Ever read Marshal Law? That was pretty much the idea behind the super soldier creation, which after the war lead to all these hyper-enhanced heros & villains. Guys who went power crazy for good or evil because they couldn’t feel pain. The catch there was that not all of those guys were invulnerable; they just didn’t feel anything. So when they got f’ed up it was pretty nasty. In those stories it was called a pain gate, I think. I lost my books so I don’t have the reference here, but for the sake of avoiding copyright conflicts, we need to know what to call this thing. I’m going to keep reading because I really want to get on board here!
WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantOK, guys, it took awhile. Busy learning new material for the 2 bands I play in and reading a script for a play that I was asked about doing the music for. Here’s my character that I think might fit into this pretty well. I made a civillian version of her last night, but had problems logging in. Anyway, here’s Miss X, with her original backstory. Maybe her reason for being in HK could be to investiate Empty Vessel for The Organization she is a member of, or she could be there following up on suspicions she had on The Org., which evolved into Ascension. Whatever you guys thinks works best. Still reading the story and playing catchup, but, man, oh man, what a start! And finally, Iscarioto, you’re being way too kind, though I appreciate it. My art is way below you guys; at best I’ll say of myself I have good ideas but don’t know how to present them. So on that note, I’m totally open to anyone grabbing any of my characters to reinterpret, enhance or improve upon. Former US Army Special Forces, NYPD detective, FBI and Secret Service agent, CIA operative, trained in counter-terrorism measures by all of the former agencies and Mossad. Mastered Northern and Southern Styles of Shao Lin kung fu and several secret styles in China as well as kendo and ninjitsu in Okinawa. Accomplished street fighter raised in the East New York section of Brooklyn, NY. After humiliating the city’s champion hero in a highly publicized street fight, which he would much rather forget, Rebecca Lee came under the notice of the Organization. The NGO (Non Governmental Organization), is the world wide agency responsible for policing all meta-human, mutant and extra-terrestrial activities. Known by the code name Miss X, she is one of the very few non super powered members, beside administrative staff, and the only member that many super humans, both hero and villain, have openly admitted they would not want to go up against. She has been offered enhancement treatments by the Organization but has refused, saying that due to her years of various training she’s enhanced enough. Besides her martial arts expertise, she is a highly skilled marksmen with all forms of firearms. Her preferences are her twin customized 9mm handguns with specialized ammo for invulnerable types, her fast action riot shotgun, also with enhanced ammo and her samurai sword, which was gifted to her from her kendo master, after defeating him as her final test. She is the only student to have done so. These weapons are carried by her constantly. She has considered the enhancements, but is still secretly leery of the Organization’s true intentions.
WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantNEVER disrespect your teacher!

WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantNot up to you guys levels, but here’s my group shot. Blackhole, Starchild and Moonstar; The Cosmic Protectorate.
WMDBASSPLAYERParticipantThanks, prs! Coming from you, that’s a good boost for me. I’m playing catch up with the Ascension idea. I really dig what I looked at and read so far.
