The Atomic Bolshevik – a former Red Army officer who was among the first responders to the Chernobyl disaster. Although exposed to massive levels of radiation, he survived with the ability to control the radiation his body absorbed. He wields a pure-energy atomic hammer and sickle that he draws from a massive irradiated tattoo on his torso.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I generally approach these images as storytelling; I'm usually thinking in terms of covers to a comic, pulp magazine, or fantasy novel. I hope that comes across.

Also one of my favorite things about HeroMachine is repurposing items. I love to do it, and I love to see the creative ways that others do it.
