We're all familiar with the way characters are "revamped" from time to time, with their original costumes and character backgrounds being radically revised to suit a more modern audience. The most classic cases came when DC took its stable of pre-existing "Golden Age" characters and ushered in a new "Silver Age":
Your challenge for this week -- and it is going to be a challenge, I readily admit that -- will to be the same. Give us two designs for the same character concept, one that was (supposedly) introduced in the Golden Age and then its modern reinterpretation. You can either post the images separately, or put them together like I did above.
You have one week, starting today and ending next Tuesday. All entries must be left as links to an image or images in the comments to this post, and all images must be 100% HeroMachine-generated. The winner will get to choose either any item he or she wants, or their caricature, put into HeroMachine 3 for all to see and love.
Good luck everyone, I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Suh-WEEEEET!!!!

Sorry, I hope I’m not being a pain, but my generation weren’t really born into the comic book age. Can someone just clarify what the Golden and Silver age are? Is it kind of like a Classic look, and then a modernised look?
Right, it’s sort of an old-school traditional style and then something more modern. The three figures on the right in the sample image are all Golden Age Characters, and the three on the left are their modern redesigns.
Really though, the point is to do two versions of a character, one “old school original” and one “cool new twist”, don’t get as caught up in the labels.
Ok, thanks Jeff! I just wanted to check ;).
very nice choice jeff. I was wanting to do this anyways, with the intention of building a superhero museum in a fictional universe.
Oh cool. Guess I’ll have to free some time to do that one! Just to clarify, does the “new” super-hero has to be the same guy than the old? Or could it be someone who has taken on the mantle?
It could be the same guy, or it could be a totally different guy, either way.
I’m not sure if I did this right…I may have changed too much. But here is….The Igniter!

Jeff, could you do a diffrent form altogether for the character? For example the “Golden Age” version a person wearing a suit that gives him his ability (eg.Firefly, Mr.Freeze or someone with a special type of suit that lets him conduct electricity) then in the “Modern Age” a more monsterious version (eg. instead of a suit that conducts electricity, he is transformed into a Deamon and can control lightning of his own free will). Sorry for all the writing I just wan’t to make sure because I have already made the “Modern Age” as a “Deamon” type monster guy.
Absolutely, Matt. Some of the transformations were pretty radical — see Blue Beetle for one.
@Jeff: Does it have to be a character in the public domain?

@Danny Beaty: I’d say either public domain OR make your own up… We don’t want to get Jeff into litigation just because we used copyrighted material, now do we?
Oh, yeah, sorry if that wasn’t clear — they should be your own character, was my thought. I didn’t think about PD characters, but if that’s what floats your boat go for it.
Preference given to two original conceptions, though, since that’s what I was going for in the first place.

Entry #2: The Minuteman – http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll49/Kaldath/MinutemanProgression.png
so its a redesign character contest
dose it have to be dc? what about marvel,dark horse,image
Kyle, ideally both would be your own characters. If you don’t want to do your own original Golden Age character, pick someone in the Public Domain. Do NOT choose an existing DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Image, Daffy Dilly Comics, or any other copyrighted character, for anything.
For what it’s worth (and that probably ain’t much), silentbilbo’s got the right idea here. I think too many of you guys are doing variations on a theme. Contrast! The Golden Age version should probably be very simple, very basic. The Modern version can be more conceptual, more complex, off the wall, whatever. Stretch that thinking!

@J: The sample picture is of three different characters, each duo of which is an example of what the contest is about. Golden Age Flash – Silver Age Flash. Golden Age Green Lantern – Silver Age Green Lantern. Golden Age Green Arrow – Silver Age Green Arrow.
Yes, DC also puts the two versions together from time to time in some sort of parallel universe crossover, but that’s neither here nor there. Taking a Golden Age character and showing what they would be like revamped and revised for a modern era is exactly what the contest is about.
They’re completely different people in completely different costumes who share the same name and general concept. That is the point.

Quatum
1951: http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/3687/quantumthen.jpg
THEN:
Alec Crane worked for the city power company servicing power stations. One night, in the wrong place at the wrong time, he was caught in a freak overload of the city’s nuclear power plant caused by an abnormally powerful solar flare. When he awakened, he found pure plasmic energy flowing through him. After a fateful run-in with a spree killer, Crane became Quantum, the fearless warrior of justice. Unfortunately, Quantum sold very poorly, and was canceled in 1954 after a run of just three years.
2002: http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/8269/quantumnow.jpg
NOW:
Resurrected in 2002, Alec Crane became a physicist at an engineering firm, working to develop new energy technologies to battle the rising crisis. This new incarnation met his destiny when he agreed to test a new bio-electric generator by allowing the device to be tapped into his own body energy. The circuits overloaded, again caused by a freak solar storm, magnifying Crane’s bio-electric energy. At first, his power was uncontrollable, but he was able to work with an engineer who fitted him with inhibitors that allowed him to regulate the energy. He turned to crime-fighting after one of his colleagues made a crack about Crane having become a superhero.

@J – Thanks I certainly like him Jersey Devil is a character I have been working on for a long time, and those are the original HM2.5 pic I did of him and the most current HM3 version, figured it would fit well with the contest concept
I give you the Warden
During the late 20s the great depression struck, for years crime rates grew as the economy failed, and with no end in sight america ran rampant with fear. Suddenly stories of masked defenders of justice broke out all over the country, at first they were mocked, grown men and women galavanting around in bed sheets, pajamas, and cloaks, but soon after something strange happened, the masked crusaders began to gain praise for their works, and just as quickly the economy began to heal. During the 40s the depression was over, but crime continued to grow, as did the number of masked vigilantes, one such vigilante heeded the call to justice in the mid 30s, his name The Warden. The Warden fought crime with superhuman strength, the ability of flight, and a resolve never before seen, catapulting him to the height of popularity in the new and fascinating hero craze. As The Warden his name was loved by the people, feared by the villians, and known to all. Which sent america into a frenzy during the mid 60s, with his sudden, and unexplained disappearance, in which he left behind a wife, three daughters, and a son. During the late 90s a strange package arrived at his son’s house, addressed to The Warden’s grandson, with no return address. Upon opening the package the boy found The Warden’s Metal he had worn all those years with such honor and pride, and a note, “Make Me Proud.”, was all it said. Soon after the boy possessing the same abilities as his grandfather set to work designing his own costume, in honor of his grandfather. Upon completion the boy noticed something was missing, he looked down at The Warden’s metal, Thinking, “Ah, the finishing touch” The boy reach for the metal, but then paused, remembering his grandfather’s note, he picked up the metal and pinned it to his chest, Starring into the mirror, The Warden was reborn as Warden.

Real name:(Currently Known as) Verrill Baron
Height: 6 ft
Weight: 175 lbs
Eyes:Green
Hair: Brown, Dyed Black w/red sections.
Age: appears to be in his mid 20s to 30s but is much older, few now how long he has really been around at least since world war 1 & 2, served in both aswell as other major military conflicts.
Style of costume/dress:WW2/Golden Age: often wore a mid length coat, shirt and cargo pants
:Current: Goth/emo
Powers: Accelerated healing,sympathetic healing(Essentially Martyr is able to heal any wounds on his subject instantly, that’s the healing part, the sympathetic part is that Martyr actually absorbs the healed injury into/onto his own body which then heals itself, rumor has it though that he can give his own injuries to others by touch as well though no one has seen him do this. He also seems to have a case of longevity the theory is that he is either immortal or that his healing powers slow his aging.
he is also considered to be more then human in his strength, agility, endurance and other attributes.
Martyr has lived a long life and has had to watch friends and family die over many, many years, he can heal simple wounds to catastrophic wounds and some believe he can cure disease but he cannot stop people from aging. He has utilized his powers of healing in both world wars as well as other wars and military conflicts, he is currently no longer in the army and has been helping people and fighting crime his own way. Martyr prefers a life of solitude and lets very few people get close to him, but those who know him as a friend, know him to be caring, understanding, affectionate, and fiercely loyal.

I didn’t do quite what was asked. Rather, here is “The Man in Red” down through the Ages, Gold, Silver, Bronze and modern, more or less.
We start with the pulp hero, Brick Brannigan, The Man in Red of 70 years ago, the dawn of the Golden Age. Brick, a district attorney by day, dawns the mask and distinctive garb of The Man in Red to put away those criminals that manage to evade the law.
Twenty years later, as costumed heroes returned, a new Man in Red, returned Korean War veteran, Russ Mann, chose the one costume theme that no one would ever expect him to wear–the Red that so many associated with the Russians and teh Red Chinese. Russ, though, knew that it also stood for the red blood shed by his brethren in defense of their nation. The new Man In Red fought to redeem the city streets from the gangs and costumed ne’er-do-wells that plagued his great city.
Two more decades passed, and the new Man in Red appear, a mystic figure, rumored to be the shade of the original Man in Red, a figure of dark mysticism, set on avenging those who were wronged. No one knew if he was human, let alone whether he maintain a secret earthly identity.
Another twenty years finds us on the eve of a new century, and Rufus Dunn, a professional football player whose life was nearly ended when a stray bullet fired in a drive-by shooting severed his spine. Little does the world suspect that, clad in powered body armor, Rufus became a new Man in Red for a new Century.

Here’s a couple (don’t know if I’ll have time to do any more; I just started a new job):
1. M.A.N.I.A.C. (Mathematical Analyzer Numerator Integrator And Computer); version one from 1951 is a Brainiac-type alien robot, while version two from 2009 is Skynet-like artifical intelligence that’s able to create cyborg bodies to get around in.

2. Lightning is one of the characters from my own superhero universe. This one’s a triple progression, showing the same character at three different points in his career.
http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk178/Diamond197207/LightningProgression.png
Okay, I lied. Here’s another one.
Shadowman (Golden Age) was Nathan Harlan, college archeology professor. While on a dig in Tibet in the 1930s, he unearthed an urn containing an ancient shadow spirit (mostly benign…) which inhabited his body.
Shadowman (Silver Age) was Marcus Harlan, grandson of the original Shadowman. This version is a mutant, due to the mixed shadow/human traits of his grandfather being passed on down to him.

Is it just me, or is my contest entry not showing up????
This is Black Betty, inspired by the song “Black Betty” by Spiderbait. I wanted both designs to look like they were on the cover of comic books to show even further progression through the font. Also, notice the dull colors and lack of shading in the golden age version. The golden age outfit is sexy, but shows a lot less cleavage when compared with the modern age outfit (female supers in the golden age usually seeming more conservative when it came down to outfits and all). Black Betty also carries her flintlock pistols (way more polished in the modern day version), and the weapons are also in relation to the song. The song was about flintlock muskets, however, not pistols.

Wraith the much loved vigilante of the 1960’s protector of the weak and bane of bad guys everywhere.

Flashforward to the year 1987 all hell brecks lose in a fight against his archnemisis *name withheld*. Which ends with wraith accidentally killing *name withheld*.
Now hunted by the police and hated by the public. he still continues his vigilate career do to the fact that the death of *name withheld* unhinged him.

Weird, my comments aren’t showing up either. Something to do with the links maybe?
Wow, great stuff everyone! @brons, I really liked your background for the Man in Red. Even the names seemed spot-on for the time period.
Here’s mine, Commander Justice:
GOLDEN AGE Commander Justice’s powers derive from his “mystical amulet which glows with an unearthly light when criminals are near.”
http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo266/jcaruso75/CmdrJusticeGoldenAge.jpg
In the SILVER AGE retcon, the amulet is gone and Commander Justice’s powers come from his “mystical training in the Far East.”
http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo266/jcaruso75/CmdrJusticeSilverAge.jpg
1990s Commander Justice is reimagined as a superpower-less vigilante. Roundly rejected by hardcore Justice fans, this is later revealed to be an alternate-reality version.
http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo266/jcaruso75/CmdrJustice90s.jpg
2010 sees the Commander with a film adaptation and a new look for a new generation of fans.
