Every good organization needs henchmen, those loveably expendable front-line shock troops referred to in times gone by as "cannon fodder". Whether you're talking about "Marked for Death" Star Fleet Red-shirts or the tunic-wearing green-clad losers with giant yellow "H" suspenders Hydra runs out to get their butts kicked by Captain America, these guys and gals put it all on the line every day knowing full well they've got a snowball's chance in Hell of making it through any scrape unscathed. And yet, they strap on their ginormous yellow AIM helmets anyway and gamely soldier on.
Not that all organizations with henchmen are evil. I say nay nay! S.H.I.E.L.D isn't shy about trotting someone's weak-kneed little brother out there in a midnight blue jumpsuit to get blasted to death, either.
Your challenge this week is to create henchmen for some larger comics organization. You could use an established group like A.I.M. or the Justice League, or you can use a group entirely of your own creation. Either way, we're not talking unique one-off heavy hitters, we're talking front-line soldiers who dress in uniforms here. For instance, Back in the Day buddy John and I were involved in a long-running Champions campaign. My criminal organization was "Leviathan", built along nautical themes while taking their motivation from Hobbes' vision of a humanity badly in need of someone to take charge. Their lowest level of front-line goons were called Piranha:
The heavy-hitter units were called Squids:
That's the kind of thing, in general, I'm talking about. Here are a few more henchmen to give you an idea of the kind of thing we're talking about:
The contest rules are the same as usual:
- All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the UGO Forums, whatever);
- Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name.
- The image cannot have been used in any previous HeroMachine character design contest.
- You cannot use any other image-editing software (like Photoshop or GIMP) to create your image (basic cropping excepted).
- Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his "Bayou Belle" character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
- Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). If you see "preview" or "rotate" somewhere in the link you're probably doing it wrong.
- All entries must be in by next Monday, when I'll choose a winner, who will receive his or her choice of any item or a portrait to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 program, or a "Sketch of the Week" style black and white illustration.
No limit on entries this week, so knock yourselves out. Just make them good!
Sounds cool. I have a few ideas.
The Sapphire Guard are the empire’s police keeping force of the Unified Systems. They function much like a modern day S.W.A.T. team and are sent in whenever the planet’s local police force are insuficient to handle their current events. These troops are air dropped from ships in low orbit and deployed in surprise swarms to catch their tagets off guard.
Their extremely maneuverable as their gear consists primarily of a big rocket. Their armaments are insuficient for drawn out battle so they are not used for front line warfare.
Many of the recruits and even veterans compete for renown and it is a common trait that they mark their suits with the number of successful ‘Missions they’ve been on’. (The less politically correct term would of course be kills.) The markings are usually portrayed on the wings of their suits so that they are prominent and easy to see both for bragging rights and a way to try to intimidate their targets.

@Jeff: Can it be a henchman for a loner villain (Doctor Doom, for example) or just a henchman that works for an organization?
Danny, I was thinking more along the lines of groups of henchmen, not loner henchmen. But if you wanted to do a group of Doombots for instance, that’d be fine. In other words, not an individual super-villain who works for a guy or group, but rather a group of low-level guys who are in the same uniform.
Champions? That calls for agents of VIPER, DEMON, PRIMUS or UNTIL.
Here is my first entry, a soldier for the criminal organization, Syncris. All basic soldiers are outfitted with a plasma rifle and a suit that amplifies strength. For the most part, they are ex-mercenaries.

including arch-villains. It’s nearly impossible to keep a corps of
crack henchmen on hand 24-7, guarding your secret base, carrying
clipboards around and minding the machines that go
PING in your volcano/lab, driving the golfcarts
with cool fins, or just getting their asses handed to them by the
good guy. That’s why you need to call HenchTemp. HenchTemp will
provide qualified, highly-trained and not-overly-bright temporary
henchmen who will give you 110% of their transient loyalty to
fulfill your world-domination needs of the moment. Find us at www.

The Cabal Against Normalcy, Nobility, Organization, and Nature (or C.A.N.N.O.N. for short) is a second-rate anarchist outfit responsible for outbreaks of terrorism around the world, with mixed results.
While being a member of the inner council can be a decent gig, the rank and file members have it much harder, especially the lowest rank, humorously known as “Fodder.”
Unfortunately C.A.N.N.O.N. Fodder learn an unavoidable lesson during the majority of their missions: That cannon fodder is expendable, and expected to be shot.

Imp (36): LMAO! That reminds me of the Deadpool-related character, Bob, Agent of Hydra. The only reason he worked for them was because his wife (now ex) made him go get a full-time job with health benefits, and there weren’t many jobs available in the market at the time. Then he got annoyed by the fact that Hydra didn’t offer dental coverage as well, but A.I.M. did.
Still, makes me look at evil organizations in a new light. How many rank and file members are there, not because they are devotees to the ideology, but because they need to pick up a paycheck?

I hope the close up turned out ok…it was my first time doing it and im still not sure how to do it
MSCat, you basically hit the “profile” button that zooms into the face and shoulder region, then do a screen capture (Command-Ctrl-Shift-4 on a Mac or just the Printscreen button on a PC). Open an image editor (Preview on a Mac, going to File – New from Clipboard, or Paint on a PC — go to Edit Paste) and crop it however you like. Save the resulting image.
The one you have is just the face but it’s not a close-up, if that makes sense.
Having said that, I honestly never look at the close-ups, I don’t usually have time.
Thanks. I still can’t figure it out. I just wanted to show some of the extra detail i put into the eyes that you couldn’t really see on the other image but its ok I can live without lol

I’ve worked out some henchmen for villains whom I’ve made for previous character contests.
The first is for my Sheriff of Notting (from FNF2: http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy287/frevoli/Frevoli-SheriffOfNottingham.png).
The Sheriff was at a loss with hood to deal with the Robin Hood problem. Of course the natural response would be to call in the Peace Keepers Force, however he was certain that they would stand with their brother in arms. Therefore he envoked a different response.
Using the resources of the PKF and enlisting others sympathetic to his own cause, he formed the Sheriff’s Elite Guard.
Behold – a typical soldier of the SEG

Despite having a exposed brain, Brooke found no difficulty in recruiting assisstance for her crimes. Perhaps it was due to her winning smile, persuasive charm… or maybe, just maybe, it was down to her hypnotic powers.
Fitting in with her Mistress persona, her entourage are dubbed “Sirs”, here is one:
http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy287/frevoli/Frevoli-Sir.png
My third henchmen are that of the Kirby-esc Taupe Transporter
(http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy287/frevoli/Frevoli-TaupeTransporter.png)
If truth be told, the Transporter doesn’t particularly require henchmen, so the matter is more complex than first thoughts might think
Taupe destroys worlds; reason why unknown, but what is known is that he never fails and allways finishes (careful).
So upon coming across a planet known as Merekz, at first he does his usual thing and goes about destroying it. But for some reason he stops. The Merekzians rejoice at the uncharacteristic act of mercy. How they were spared when millions of others weren’t. As a sign of gratitude for this unheardof act of kindness, they pleage their devotion.
That is how it came to be that the Taupe transporter had a whole planet of followers.
Inspired by the Transporter’s own lack of eyes, they blindfold themselves to better emmulate his lack of sight and, like him, home their other senses to cope. Singing his praises with ever parsect he takes, they all are now and forever… his disciples

My final entry. The grunts of BioTech International’s mercenary army. We have the JetBot, a large mechanized unit for enforcing ‘peace’ with it’s attached spear and drill arm (extra attachments not included, available for 94.6 million USD a piece, as is unit is 368.4 million USD). Then we have the small and fast ReconBot, a unit the size of a dog capable of overland flight of up to 256 mph and armed with lock on rockets and a 7.72 caliber machine gun with 2000 rounds of ammunition (as is unit is 126.7 million USD). Then the CyBot, a cyborg unit made up of advanced Neurosteel, giving it the response time of a normal human with none of the pain receptors; though they carry no weapon they can move up to 74mph over land and have a grip capable of compressing with over 2,450 lbs or pressure. (buyer must supply own participants for program, willing or sedated, process takes 3 weeks and costs 173.4 million USD, for each fifty participants, 1% is marked off, up to a total of a 10% discount)

So this is Team Galactic at Mt. Coronet! They’re the vilaneous team for pokemon generation 4 main games (Diamond, Pearl and Platinum). They use stolen pokemon, mainly normal and bug-tipe ones. Poison pokemons are often used too.
Grunts usually aren’t that smart, but some of them had important missions. Anyway, they’re weak trainers.

This is an automated first-strike soldier that would be programmed for specific targets. Highly reliable, very durable and show no mercy. They might not belong to one group altogether.

RENT-A-THUG – Proudly serving the super-villain community since 1947, Rent-A-Thug is the premiere source for top-quality criminal assistance personnel at competitive prices. You won’t find any cannon-fodder or leg-breakers here, only highly trained, highly motivated professionals eager to meet all your henching needs.
Rent-A-Thug offers four basic categories of henchpersons to choose from.
1) Minion – Ideal for the villain on a budget, minions possess basic training in firearms, unarmed combat, and criminal theory. They are “all-purpose” henches that can be used in a wide variety of roles, including sentry, robbery/burglary accomplice, and lab assistant.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/xx260/hastur1/rentAthug2.jpg
2) Commando – Possessing extensive combat training and armed with state-of-the-art weaponry, commandoes are more than capable of dealing with most police, military, and private security forces in both an offensive and defensive capacity. They are ideal for dealing with conventional, albeit heavy-armed, opponents.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/xx260/hastur1/rentAthug_flunky.jpg
3) Super Trooper – Elite commandoes armed with next generation technology, including but not limited to flex-armor, laser rifles, and jet-packs, Super Troopers are ideal for expected encounters with low to mid-level super-powered opponents. Using Rent-A-Thug’s patented power-level scanning technology, Super Troopers care able to ascertain the relative strengths and weaknesses of super-beings and adapt their strategy accordingly.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/xx260/hastur1/superTrooper.jpg
4) Big Boy – Using a combination of cybernetics and genetic engineering, Rent-A-Thug’s in-house research staff has come up with the ultimate solution to the super-hero dilemma. Codenamed “Big Boys”, these heavy-hitters are capable of going toe-to-toe with super-beings that rate as high as a 6 on the Riggs’ Power Level Scale. In addition, Big Boys are armed with military-grade weapons capable of dealing destruction on unprecedented levels.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“As an up-and-coming criminal mastermind, I quickly learned the importance of having a highly skilled support staff. Rent-A-Thug worked with me to meet my needs by providing professional-grade henchpersons at a reasonable price.” – The Baffler
“When we decided to take ZODIAC to the next level, we knew the first step was to swell the ranks. Rent-A-Thug was the first place I thought of. After a single conversation with one of their Criminal Account Executives, I knew I wouldn’t have to look anywhere else. ” – Virgo
“I used to go through minions pretty quickly. Lacking the time and inclination to train new recruits, I often found my henchmen even more of a hindrance to my plans than my most persistent arch-enemies. Then I discovered Rent-A-Thug. I was so impressed with the level of service I received that I upgraded to the Platinum Plan almost immediately. Thanks to Rent-A-Thug, I’m happy to say I haven’t had to execute a single minion for incompetence in years.” -Lord Dread

Here’s my entry:
Henchbot – Policetron:
For many years these exclusive versions of the common henchbot have been rolled out onto the streets instead of human peacekeepers. They have been considered an overall success, considering that there have been more complaints than compliments, their imcompetency being widely intolerable. For example, your precious little kitty is stuck up a tree and can’t get down. If you call for a policetron he’ll get it down for you, albeit riddled with bullet holes. And that unemotional representation of a human face on their computer screens doesn’t inspire much confidence.

In the 25th century, when law enforcement needs help tracking down dangerous criminals why bother utilizing trained officers? They call in C.A.T.S. (Criminal Apprehension Tactical Squad) In the future Hybrid Cat People are at an over abundance so they are utilized to track down dangerous intergalatic crime bosses, hitmen, mass murderers, high tech villians, etc. Why risk human life when you can see what the C.A.T.S. drag in, right?
Here is just one of the well equipped members of the squad, Smokey.

My secret organization exists in a fantasy setting. It is led by the evil warlock Supreme Emperor Despot Overlord Bob, whose multitude of plans to take over the world have sometimes even nearly succeeded! Centuri is famous for its numerous, poorly equipped, hopelessly incompetent footsoldiers (Centuri Grunt, 1st picture) , who have now resigned themselves to the fact that all they will ever do is get pointlessly slain by some valiant hero.

However, Centuri is also renowned for it’s special forces, an elite team of Ninjas (Centuri Ninja) who are adept at assassinating their targets with gratuitous and totally over the top style. One example would be them backflipping out of the shadows behind you, landing infront of you, dummying with their sword, kneeing you in the balls, before finally repeatedly stabbing you in the back.

This is my first contest. I present KKKK, an organization I created for several campaigns of superhero RPG games like DcHeroes or Mutants & Masterminds.
The Ku Klux Klan has evolved. In this crazy times, its Knights (KKKK) have to fight not only against other races , but against mutants, aliens and other weird creatures, to keep white men purity. And they have high-tech weapons and equipment ¿How they achieve this technology? ¿Who is founding them? ¿There would be some brave hero able to stop them?
Another henchman from me
This one is based on my ongoing zodiac storyline (in connection with the relevant contests) and also about the idea of the henchman.
Can a henchman ever be a villain in his own right? Due to the nature of it, he must be subserviant to a higher villainy. This higher villain being the main antagonist, surrounding himself with faceless minions.
Taking this on board (and, I believe, still remaining in the rules of the competition), I’ve designed a henchman who is also a villain is is also still a henchman.
You may have heard about the 13th sign: Ophiuchus – the Snake Handler. Well, this is The Ophiuchi
http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy287/frevoli/Frevoli-Ophiuchi.png
They are many; all expendable, all faceless (literally) and all armed with a poison injecting staff (there’s a catch which makes the snake’s mouth open, poison laced in the fangs).
… However if the whole “henchman who is also a villain and also still a henchman” thing doesn’t actually count and is invalid, then there is indeed a hidden master controlling them… These are my principals. If you don’t like them, I have others… that’s all for now, cheery-bye
Just one of the minions of the lower relms of the Aybss. They number in the millions ready to be set free and conquer the world of Man in force. Oh, a few have walked upon the relm of sunlight but never in mass horde. Answering to Daemon Abaddon, they scratch away at the veil between the two worlds just waiting to be unleashed!

RENT-A-THUG (cont.) – In 1953, Rent-A-Thug entered into negotiations with the venerable Ghost Tiger assassins, one of the oldest and most respected ninja clans whose longevity is a testament to their mastery of the art of silent death. From these negotiations was born an alliance representing a ground-breaking collaboration between old-world craftsmanship and new-world innovation. As a result, Rent-A-Thug is able to offer a selection of highly-trained agents who possess a formidable combination of the deadly art of ninjitsu with cutting-edge technology.
1) Shinobi – These agents will appeal to the strict traditionalist. Shinobi training, outfits, and weaponry are all designed for maximum historical authenticity.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/xx260/hastur1/shinobi.jpg
2) Kunoichi – The old expression “deadlier than the male” certainly applies here. Traditionally, kunoichi are female ninja. Rent-A-Thug’s kunoichi are female agents trained in both historical ninjitsu and modern assassination techniques.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/xx260/hastur1/kunoichi2.jpg
3) Cyber-Ninja – Cyber-ninjas are ideal for progressive- minded villians who prefer henchpersons with a high-tech flair. These cybernetically modified agents are equipped with such innovations as enhanced reflexes, monofilament weapons, and Rent-A-Thug’s patented light-bending Chameleon© technology.

I wonder what the Punisher’s henchmen would look like should he ever have any. Of course I also wonder why he opted for white gloves and boots in the early days, seriously you want to strike fear in your enemies by showing off your jazz hands? Anyway thought I would have a go at what the henchmen army of this one man army would look like.

If there is one organization that isn’t lacking in a variety of henchmen types its Cobra from G.I. Joe, I thought it might be fun to create henchmen for the unknown news branch of Cobra. (The following images have are not licensed by Hasbro toys, despite their numerous variations of Cobra henchmen)

As much as I am a G.I. Joe fan, (the marvel comic book not that silly cartoon though it had its place in our childhood too) I feel that Cobra is one of the silliest organizations ever to exist. They are a world wide terrorist organization, that seem to have no actual demands, claims, or “values”. I guess Cobra is the place to go if you want to be a terrorist for the simple sake of being a terrorist.
These are the Pawns. They serve the King without question, being trained by birth to be nothing but living weapons for the empire. They usually start as children of slaves from conquered nations. However, some oppressed and impoverished peasants will give up their own children into the Pawn program in exchange for small parcels of land. They have been taught to not think of themselves as unique in any way, and any sense of individuality has been purged. They wear standard uniforms that have a serial number printed on each. Pawns have been taught even not to value their own lives, only the will of their King is of any importance.

Entry 2.5-Oni
Alright, re-entry or new entry not sure what it would count as. Anyway, here’s my tribute to all those infantry men that have ran head first at me in any and all Battletech/Mechwarriar games. Those crazy sons of bitches. I almost feel sad stepping on them.

Wings:
Made from the labs of Dr. Nicholas Adams (D.N.A.), who wants to use his creations to rule the world. (Typical, I know.) They are the easiest to make, so the doctor made tons of them.
These weird spherical things can fly quick & agile, and can only attack close range. The helmet is to protect the vulnerable, squishy spot it has on the top of its head.

Elite guard is the intervention team of the Seclorum. They are the elite of the elites. Heavy, light and sniper squads are ready for the actions.
