Here’s the HM3 version of Amy Atom,a character I first did on 2.5. Hope i got the proportions right!
Funny thing with mutants; either they’re obviously different at birth or their mutation doesn’t show itself until around puberty. The latter was the case with Handy Wilson. Add to that the fact that he was born into slavery in the early part of the 19th Century on a South Carolina plantation and you have the makings for a very confused young life. Of course, no one knew anything of genetic mutations then. Maybe that was a good thing, seeing that slaves were considered property and not people. He couldn’t be exploited any further. His father, the biggest and strongest field hand on the plantation, was sold off shortly before Handy’s birth, and was killed trying to escape. If the Master had no problem separating a family expecting a newborn, no telling what he would have done to this special child if he knew the truth. As soon as his mother noticed Handy was “stronger ‘en any plow mule on the plantation,” she made sure to teach him not to “show up any o’ Massa’s sons.” She always had a feeling something was different about Handy. Even though he was born two months premature, he was “bigger ‘en any babe I evah helped birthed!” according to the midwife who attended his mother. All children would play and rough house on occasion, but Handy’s cuts and scrapes always seemed to heal faster than anyone else’s. When he was 10 his mother caught him outrunning the Master’s favorite Thoroughbred at full gallop. Fortunately no one else saw this, especially Master, who considered himself a sporting man, and would have no doubt run her baby to death. Funny thing with mutants; once they come into their own and discover their abilities, it’s hard for them to keep it secret, no matter how much they are warned otherwise. With the confidence of youth and the knowledge that he was the strongest man on the plantation, at age 18 Handy decided to run away and promised his Mother he would come back for her. Maybe I’ll come up with some more for this character.
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 marksman 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.
No story here, just a tough-ass girl. Tough Girl could be a super powered metahuman or mutant. I don’t know yet. The inspiration was Jeff’s Chantel, Zombie Killer.
Another view of Lucifer, upright and closer. Also, another stab at a portrait. T-Byrd played guitar in the funk band I was in during the 80’s, The Funktion Freeks. He liked it!
We all know the usual story of the original “Fallen Angel.” But what if he really didn’t fall? Would that make Lucifer the world’s first anti-hero? I wanted to make the hand in the upper right corner much bigger. Doesn’t quite come off as the Hand of God like I wanted.
No real backstory for this character. I had the germ of an idea, but redoing her in HM3 when I should be practising some new material for my band split my concentration. A WWII era Army brat; dad a master mechanic in the Army Air Corp.; very patriotic, as most people were in those days; bright, headstrong and adventurous. Studied all of Dad’s materials so she’s a bit of a tinkerer. Invented her own wings. That’s about it. She’s not 100% how I saw her in my head: right off the bat, her arms are just too stiff, and the boots have a modern, punky fit to them, which while I like the look, it’s a bit out of place for a girl in the 1940’s. I wanted to do a flying character, as opposed to a character that’s placed in the air. And as an after thought, maybe she wouldn’t be holding a gun in mid-flight the way she is. Having said all that, here’s Fly Girl followed by the original 2.5 version.
