Your Character Design Challenge this week is to create the most awesome illustration possible featuring the idea of an every-day super-powered individual, like the sort of thing you would see in the TV show "Heroes" using HeroMachine 3.
In other words, you want someone (or someTHING) that looks like they might exist in the everyday world, only they have super-powers. For example, I used to play a guy in our Champions game named "Tempest", who had super-speed powers. But his "costume" was basically just a jacket and a Cubs cap (he lived in Chicago). The distinguishing marks were a lightning bolt pattern on the leather coat and a blue hourglass tee-shirt. But you wouldn't think anything of him if you passed him in the street. Here's how he looked:
So no spandex-and-capes, these are the kinds of characters who could pass for regular folks.
I'll pick my personal favorites when the week is over, with the one I like best being featured in the right column for the week. The rules otherwise are the same as always:
- All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like the HeroMachine forums, ImageShack, PhotoBucket, or 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 challenge;
- Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension] before you upload it. 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). See this post on how to get the direct link for most sites.
- All entries must be in by next Monday, when I'll choose my personal favorites.
No limit on entries this week, so knock yourselves out. Just make them good!
Thanks to Kaldath via Facebook for the idea, by the way!
quick question does he have to have super-powers or can he be a “Gadgeteer”
Gadgeteers are fine.
do the heros have to be modern or can we do an everyday hero from the past like from the 1930s and be wearing clothing from that period of time.
Modern only. I open it up beyond that and I start getting knights (“Hey, that’s what they wore every day!”) and such.
WTH? My whole post just disappeared!
Mister Hipster. Costumes are too mainstream.
http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j357/nickmiester97/Badgerking97-MisterHipster.png
Well, let’s try this again!
The Cockroach was a cop until his only daughter overdosed and his wife committed suicide over it. He crawled into a bottle for several years after that, drinking up his savings while sleeping in alleys and under bridges. After being attacked by (and soundly defeating) a gang of crack-heads, he declared a one-man war on drug dealers and became the Cockroach. A homeless hero, he sleeps at Missions and eats at soup kitchens so he can overhear the drug addicts discussing where to get their stuff. He then follows them, follows their supplier, and works his way up the chain to the drug lords.
His costume consists of a leather jacket lined with chainmail and kevlar, knee and elbow pads, steel toed boots with retractable climbing spikes, elbow length metal gauntlets with built-in stun guns and Ninja dragon-claws for climbing and slashing, and a concealed helmet. The cap, hair, beard, sunglasses, lips and nose are all of a piece. The facial parts contain a gas mask, and the glasses are part of an active infra-red vision system illuminated by LEDs in the smiley button. The flat portion of the military style cap contains a metal plate mounted on a spring to protect him from the blunt objects such vigilantes seem to always get hit by from behing, and the hatband contains a police band radio to warn him of approaching lawmen.
He has two silenced .45’s that he carries in the front pockets of the jacket while the chest pockets contain tear gas bombs and flash-bangs. The wide belt covers the small grapnel-hook gun he carries in the small of his back, and it and its sheath serve to protect his kidneys from attack.
Unlike 99% of all superheroes, he uses no device or skill that you or I could not learn, obtain or build.

In a world where Everything is Connected and Connection equals power, The Hunter trained in Technology posses the skills to hack anything and maybe even anyone all from his mobile device. Assigned to hunt down those who harness the power for themselves. Usually sent out during night with a mask to cover their identity but are trained to blend with the citizens of the district they occupy.

This is BOO!
He is a leader of a gang in New York and has a special ability that allows him to conjure fear and force it into his enemies. He has been attacked many times and challenged for his position as the leader of the gang, but he always wins because he scares the enemy into running away. After many years of rival gang members running away from him in fear, he was given the name Boo.

Wolfgang (Real name Zane Braxton) is part wolf part man and has been since he was 5 (now 22). He has full control over his wolf abilities most of the time, exception is in times of rage or the full moon, then parts of him start to change (as seen here). He still wears his Letterman jacket from High School and shades to hide his yellow eyes.
He fights those that upset order, he hates those who abuse those who can’t/won’t fight back.
His pet, Blaidd, is a wolf/husky mix. Trained to fight with him.

Name: Black Eagle (in honour of a Toronto landmark in an amazing neighborhood)
Powers: flight, night vision
Suffice to say I have walked down some “colourful” streets.

Name: C-4
Powers/Gadgets/Abilities: Carries copious amounts of explosives and explosive accessories with him at all times, including an M-79 grenade launcher (he often does leave this one at home, for obvious reasons), frag grenades, and dynamite (His excuse is that “you never know when you’ll need them”). He also carries two bats, The Hater Hurter and The Bulldog. He also discovered (by complete accident, of course) that he had the superhuman ability to absorb energy and use it against his foes, whoever they may be.

Alexander -Bushman- Gordan is a time traveler originally from the Australian Outback in the year 2017 right before the world changed and mutants came into light instead of hiding. He found out he could travel in time when he was 18, falling asleep and having a nightmare about dinosaurs only to wake up back in the Jurassic era. He thought about the year 2017 just before being stepped on by a Stegosaurus. He then began to travel through time at will. He spent some time at The Temple in a few different eras. He has often been asked by different heroes about their fates but is forbidden to tell them by The Master.
His favorite weapon is a laser sniper rifle he picked up in the year 2054. This is a one of a kind rifle especially made for Alex by someone he befriended in that year.

Adam has the ability of Kinetic Absorption, and he loves to play up the mutant/hero role. He is one of The Masters’ best but undisciplined students. He came to The Temple a troubled teen; he just suffered the loss of his sister by a drive-by shooting. He discovered his powers when she was killed; he was so angry he blew up the car and killed all the gang members in the car with his newly found powers. He was taught how to use his powers for good instead of revenge but still has a strong distaste for gangs.
His best friend is Abyss, who he fights’ alongside with against the pirates when he can. He loves the ocean and even retrofitted his car The Prowler to turn into a boat.

Alright, this is my first entry ever and I really don’t know if I will do this again (because I don’t have too much creativity and because I’m not that good).
This character is more like a concept and not the “final” version. It’s from my fictional story and like all the others from there, she’s a mutant.
Her name is Crystal Griffiths and her power is photokinesis and she is 19 years old. Yes, she dresses like this everyday, it’s her style, she is a “medieval goth”.
Her parents don’t accept her lifestyle and they’re always fighting. One day, Crystal decides to leave her home and starts living with her aunt, who accepts and gives her shelter. In the camp for mutants (which her aunt found out) everyone is afraid of her. Later in the story, Crystal discovers that she inherited a mutation from her grandmother: teleportation. With this, she becomes one of the most powerful mutants from the camp.
That’s the basic about her. Crystal is so much more complex than this, but I can only say that 🙂
P.S.: Sorry about my english, it isn’t my native language.

In the final battle against their greatest foe, “Wraith,” Elena and Conner were catapulted into future and past versions of their own universe. Elena found herself in a close future in which she had died there, and was forced to find what had happened to Conner in the intervening years. Eventually she reunites with her lover, who had set up in New York as the father figure for a small group of non-and sub-humans. Losing Elena had forced Conner to experiance the aging process for the first time in nearly two-hundred years, but even after everything the werewolf still loved her. Will he be able to let her go, and return to her proper time?

This is the Blue Shield!
His abilities are to set time back by 20 seconds, just enough time to fix mistake. He discovered this ability when he was a young child, he witnessed his little brother run into a street and get struck by a car. After witnessing this tragic accident his emotions ran wild and started his ability for the first time. Time went back 20 seconds and he was given a chance to save his brothers life.
He gave himself the name Blue Shield because on countless occasions he has saved someone’s life by using his ability.

An outcast throughout school, Lita spent most of her time listening to her favorite metal artists. One day, while singing along, she discovered she could project her voice into both the super- and sub-sonic ranges. After years of training, she has honed her abilities to become a powerful force for good. In her day job at a music store, she came into possession of a magical guitar. Named D.I.M.E (Destructive Instrument of Magical Energy), it is an interdimensional artifact able to transform into a variety of weapons and devices, and can only be used by a true hero. With her guitar and powerful voice, Lita spends her nights cleaning up the streets of those that would harm the innocent. Evil-doers beware, all fear The Sentinel!

Where’s the lack of creativity? This is pretty good and has a good story line too.
A Black Ops experiment in manufacturing robotic soldiers who was imbued with a bit too much conscience, he escaped from the lab to attempt to solve the problem of violence in human society. Not programmed with a fashion sense, he attempted to blend in by keeping his hands in his pockets and his hat pulled low, but soon figured out that he should stay in the shadows.

Criana Vashi is a super strength child, the perfect combination that totally won’t cause any problems including but not limited to: collapsing building, broken car, and other such things.
Am I the only person who doesn’t find this idea particularly engaging to the imagination? Whatever I can think of here is “just some random dude” and that I don’t feel like is worth “designing”.
No one says you have to like everything. You can do Ian’s “Just Cause” if you want, or you can wait till Saturday to see what the Pop Quiz. Or, I don’t know, read a book or something.
Actually this can be as engaging or un-engaging for the imagination as you feel like making it. The idea is to show someone with superpowers without a costume. now you can just make an average Joe with a energy effect ( like I did ) to show the powers, OR you can design the Effects of the powers, whats it really look like to control a wall of water, or to be a Master of Plant control? Without the costume to give clues to a power set it can be very difficult to actually illustrate some super abilities.

Orpheus was just a violinist before his wife of only a day was killed by a gang know as “The Snakes”. He vowed he would some how avenge her death and took up a pact with the ancient gods. He was given a gift the gift to influence the mind through hypnotism, but the only way he can do so is through music. His songs can do anything from causing the target to sleep or to sending them into a fit of emotional hysteria (rage, fear, sadness, joy, etc.).

Carmen Jones, a.k.a. Seraph, has the powers of flight and fire conjuring that she focuses through an amulet she wears around her neck. She found the amulet at an antiques bazaar, which, not entirely to her surprise, had vanished without trace or record when she tried to find it again. Carmen hesistates to use her newfound powers (except defensively) because she still knows so little about them and the consequenses they are sure to have, but always keeps the amulet on her person lest it fall into more careless hands.

Rebecca Lewis thought she was just like any other teenager, but she was intact a mutant. Her powers manifested themselves when she saw her friend get hit by a car. The stress caused two foot long spikes to burst from her arms. After she got over the initial shock, she began to explore her mutation more thoroughly, discovering that her entire skeleton is laced with retractable spikes, each laced with a toxin that can either kill or stun, depending on her emotional state. After seeing another friend getting mugged, she vowed to put her powers to good use.

That’s a weird answer Jeff. I wasn’t expecting a “don’t do it if you don’t like it” from you. More of a reason why it could be awesome, or something of the sort.
It’s just that no matter how long I think about it, I’m either drawing a complete blank, or whatever comes up seems so… mundane. Doesn’t feel like a hero at all to me. I think I’ll pass on this one, but just know my opinion that this seems like a waste.
No ill admit i could not come up with a good name last night. I worked a 12 hour shift and was beat haha but I think im gonna change it to Flashback! Thanks for the good advice!
“Your contest idea is shitty. Now get off your ass and inspire me!”
Yeah, I can’t imagine why my response would be less than enthusiastic 🙂
Look, it’s not fair for me to come in here and comment on anyone’s work or words until the contest’s over. If you’re not inspired, and I spend time pumping you up, how is that equitable to the person who thought of something all on their own?
My response wasn’t intended to be dismissive. But if the concept doesn’t excite you, that’s fine. There are plenty of other ways to amuse yourself. It’s not my job to tell you what to do, it’s just my job to put stuff out there and see how it goes. I appreciate you sharing your feelings about the lousiness of the idea, as maybe that will help me come up with more popular ones down the line, but I can’t do much more than say “thanks”. The rest is up to you and the other folks who choose to participate.
Here is a repost.

In the aftermath of a battle between the local superhero team and an army of extra-dimensional creatures, vagrant 19 year old Portia Dimare came across a glowing relic that had been left there by the invading creatures’ mages. When she picked it up, thinking that she could sell it for a good price, the alien energies from the strange device entered her, making her eyes and hair dark blue and giving her the power to create portals that passed through another dimension and back into our own. Taking advantage of this interesting new ability, she decided to use it to steal money and protect herself and her younger brother. After weeks of practice, she perfected her powers and could use the portals to port herself in and out of bank vaults undetected, trap and even dismember opponents by sucking their limbs into small portals and closing them off, port her own limbs during combat to take on enemies from all sides, deflect bullets by portalling them back at the shooter, and conceal herself and others by disappearing into the shadows of a portal.

Name: Shred
Backstory: Mitch Schrader’s passion was music. He played the guitar with all he had in him for his band, The 7 Deceptions. The only thing about it was…He was RUBBISH! Genuinely terrible at music, both vocal and instrumental. In fact, he was so bad, his band kicked him out and abandoned him! Mitch hit such a low point that he turned to the absolute last resort…He sold his soul to the devil. He asked for the power to play the guitar like no one else. The devil granted his wish, and Mitch Schrader was transformed into Shred! He kicked down the door of his former bandmate’s apartment and shouted, “Prepare to have your mind blown!” Then he began to shred on his guitar like never before. Little did he know that the energy that he generated from his guitar-playing had killed his former bandmate and destroyed the whole apartment. He then realized that his deal with the devil had turned him into an engine of pain instead of a rockstar. He looked down at his hands in terror, as they now bore the pentagram, as a terrible reminder of his dark deal. He then looked to his guitar, which was glowing with the newly-absorbed soul of his friend. When he went to pick the guitar up, the soul flew into his hand and filled him with intense energy. Shred then went mad with power and decided to fulfill his dark destiny as…SHRED!!!

This is one of my own characters that i made a while ago that i think fits into this contest.. His name is Mannequinn. He worked in a facility that made bleach products. when he got in trouble with some loan sharks they tossed him in one of the vats of bleach. they burned off his nose, his ears, and bleached his skin to a pale white.. luckly he knew a good doctor. His wife. one of the best surgeons in the area. He got well again but it would cost thousands of dollars that they do not have to fix his appearance to what he used to be. He wanted to get the money to fix it. He wanted revenge on the loan sharks so he came up with a plan. He stitched a cosume together to look like one of the loan sharks.
His plan went perfectly.. he got past the guards and through the security taking everyone that he saw out. He finally got to the boss and killed the guards that were in his room. He was furious and wanted revenge on the people who did this to him.. he interigated the boss yelling, punishing him untill he told him who it was that did that to him. He punished him up untill he had nothing left.. then left him to die.
The Head of all of the operations was not there he was the one that did it to him. He stole all of the money.. but that didnt make him happy. He started to like his appearance. The Costumes and everything he was now.. he accepted who he was and went crazy. He sat in his house laughing and snickering as his wife left. he didnt care. he lost his job. he didnt care. he didnt care about any real life problems now. He was insane. He just wanted chaos… He just wanted to see the world burn.

Rex Raider is the Chief of Police in Denver, Colorado. He has possessed mutant powers since he was a child, but only at age 38 did he discover them: his friend, another police officer, was killed in a gunfight, and the anger and sadness he felt over his friend’s death caused his powers to awaken. Now, Raider uses his enhanced strength (8x that of the strongest human) and superior agility, durability and reaction time to protect his hometown of Denver. He is a kind man that will always attempt to find a nonviolent solution before injuring anyone, but will do so when necessary; after all, he has sworn to Protect and Serve.

I dunno. Seems to me that Dr. Choi’s real superpower is not getting malpractice lawsuits from here to Kingdom Come after letting a patient die on the operating table!
Superpowers are all well and good, but what if you’re physically incapable of blending in? Here we see what happens when a “non-human” Superhero becomes well known: media attention.
MUTANTS: ARE THEY LIVING AMONG US?
— Aindréas Alexander O’Brien lives in a shack on the outskirts of Chicago, repairs vintage cars and spends his free time practicing acrobatics. He is also the mastermind behind the urban legend “Chicago Devil” who has captivated the minds of millions.
— But get this: it’s not actually an urban legend.
— Born with a bizarre birth defect which grants him red skin and multiple arms, among other things, Aindréas aka “Devil” has been sequestered from the world for much of his life. Growing up with his aunt Mildred, she kept him indoors as a child for fear of the public’s response, but Aindréas escaped in ’97 to explore the city of his birth, leading to the first sighting of Chicago’s infamous “Devil.”
— Now, years later, the Devil roams the streets fighting crime. And he has a surprising following among the city’s populace.

Yay, second entry!
Skye Thomas was not born with powers. One day while playing outside with her younger sister, the two girls were caught in a radioactive beam from the gun of Gamma Man, a local supervillain. Her sister was killed instantly, but six-year-old Skye was thrown into a snow bank, where the radioactive particles mutated her. Her skin turned pale and eyes changed to an icy blue, but most of all, it gave her power over the cold. Now, eleven years later, Skye uses her powers to protect the children of the city from harm, whether extraordinary or everyday. She is able to shoot blasts of cold, call storms, and create ice projectiles, such as her Frost Knives. Calling herself Polara, she will make sure no children suffer while she has the power to protect them.

Joseph DiMaggio was the newly minted head of a uranium mining empire, who was accidentally exposed to lethal amounts of his own product in a protest gone wrong. Now able to transmit radiation onto others, he uses his new powers to threaten would-be competitors to sell out to him…no-one said using superpowers on Wall Street was illegal, right?
Bringman St George: Owner and Ceo Of Bone Gold Records
Street Name: Complex (They say he has a God Complex)
Powers: High Priest of The Skull Sect. Skull Sect Talisman gives him super strenght and a Fear Aura.

(Continuing in the same vein as Devil… this one is inspired by a TV show called Alphas.)
Who said superpowers had to be used to stop crime? …Here we see a teenager who can read electromagnetic wavelengths using his power to leech free Wi-Fi and take a phone call from his girlfriend. The dancing signals can be distracting at times, but it’s worth it to not have to pay for Cable.

This is my first post. But essentially i based this Hero or Anti Hero off a halloween costume idea in which I would dress as geisha-mercenary. I came up so it is a guy dressed up as a geisha that is gun toting and ready for war. He(she) is has the power of invulnerability and improbable agility.

Heyla!
My only entry this time around.
Let me introduce, Nani Wahine O Maile Ha’ulena Pa’a I Ka Noe Ahi, she is the last scion of her family’s Kahuna line. She is a Kahuna who appeases the Fire Goddess Pele by using her power of Fire and also by doing the Hula ‘Auwana for Pele. When called upon, Nani goes by her Kahuna name of Kahuna Wahine O Ahi.
Ahi – is usually known as a fish, but in Hawaiian it means Fire.
Nani – Beautiful
Kahuna – for lack of better translation…Shaman
and the rest I looked up…
And as usual, I tried to replicate what Hula dancers wear when dancing the Hula ‘Auwana in competition. The only thing I could not replicate was the flowers. I also did not put a lei around her neck that dancers would normally use. Again, the flower that she would use, for Pele would not be as easy to replicate here, as I am not as proficient in making flowers in HM…LOL! One day…perhaps.

Since everyone is making super heroes, I decided to make a super villain! >:D This is a character I came up with for a forum RPG, about Heaven and Hell colliding.
—————————————
Shunned since childhood for having an abusive single father, Juliet Walker has endured the brunt of everyone’s jokes, pranks, and taunts for the better part of her life. Growing up depressed and alone, she decided to take her own life on the night of her 18th birthday. Successfully ending her own life, she was taken to Hell for it, where she stood face-to-face with the Big Bad himself.
Juliet pleaded for another chance at life, as she didn’t think that this would be her end. Knowing that Juliet wasn’t evil enough to reside in his domain, The Devil allowed her to roam free on Earth once more, on one condition: Harvest more souls for Hell.
Granted the abilities to conjure and manipulate Hell fire, Juliet’s first instinct was to pick a bone with the man that caused her suffering the most: her father. The rage fueling her actions, she murdered the man in cold blood, burning him and their house to a cinder.
Her next targets were the bullies that tormented her school career; their lives ended gruesomely as well.
She now terrorizes the populace as the supervillain Hellfire.

I don’t think this has to be “no one would notice them on the street” so much as “their costume is made out of regular people types of clothing”. So like in Rancid’s version, that guy would be notable on the street, but it’s not a spandex-and-cape or big-floppy-Cap boots sort of thing.
Think of it as “realist” super-hero clothing, along the lines of The Ultimates.

Name: Trauma
Given Name: Blaine Roberts
Powers: Kinetic Energy Absorption, turning it into raw strength.
Blaine Roberts (aka Trauma) was born in Toronto, where he grew up with his father as his sole caretaker. Blaine’s mother had died in a car crash a few months after Blaine’s birth, leaving him in the hands of his abusive and drunk father. Blaine quickly learned to take a beating, a skill that also got him through school where he was the bud of everyone’s jokes (and recipient of many a beating), for wearing clothes from goodwill or what ever his father wouldn’t wear anymore.
When Blaine became seventeen his powers came into fruition, after a very bad beating from his father. Just when his father was about to throw his final punch, Blaine could feel an intense power flowing through him, and he quickly turned that power on his father, sending him clear trough a brick wall. His father didn’t die, but he was paralyzed from the neck down. Blaine left his father at the hospital and then promptly disappeared, deciding to use his powers to punish those who prayed on the weak.

Hmmm, have you tried a screen capture? Alt-PrtScr should capture just the window you’re seeing (i.e. your HM3 screen). Then just paste it into paint or some other image program (I’m partial to Paint.NET myself).
That’s good advice, although I’m not sure why the Export is messing up. Previously the only problem I’ve seen with it is if you use the “All” group and move stuff around, but it looks like you’re having a problem with the layering not exporting properly (i.e. I assume she has legs). I’m not sure why that would be the case … can you send me (afdstudios@gmail.com) a screen capture of the character, along with the save text? I’m curious to see what might be going wrong.
In keeping with my phantom computer problems, (various terminals PRETEND they don’t save, export, upload, copy, crop, etc.) I give you a look at Derek, who has an unusual variant of Phantom Limb Syndrome after an incident in the military left him with nothing below mid-thigh.

It’s hard enough to grow up as an orphan in Harlem, but it’s even worse when you’re an odd looking intellectual. Like many others in similar circumstances, Malcolm Davis retreated into his own little world, which he populated with imaginary friends. Imagine his delight, and the consternation of the bullies and gangbangers who picked on him, when he manifested the mutant ability of bringing those friends to life. Taking the nickname his tormentors had foisted on him (“Doc” for his initials of M.D. and “Trekkie” because he resembled a bald Vulcan), Doc Trekkie and his Imaginary Friends began cleaning up the mean streets of his impoverished neighborhood. Malcolm is shown here in the middle, while his Imaginary Friends are (Clockwise from upper left) Robo Gogo the alien robot, Professor Stanley Livingston the great explorer, Gweneviere the Buccaneer, Queen of the Pirates, and Topper McSlash with his Ebony Axe.

Bronsky could easily be called a working-class hero, if he didn’t hate the title. He worked at a foundry, before the civil war shattered his homeland. Rather than picking a gun and taking lives, he decided to save lives – especially from buildings and homes that have been bombarded. Behind the vicious tattoos and scary-looking bald head, Bronsky is a hearty man, who way beyond his 40s decided that there is more to a man than being a human – that you can always be a hero. No matter if you have supernatural powers and expensive gadgets or not.

Siren’s powers first manifested at puberty, when she tried to intervene between her abusive father and injured mother. She hypnotized him, and then convinced him to kill himself with his own knife. After that, her mother helped her find Dr. Simon Flass, a prominent scientist with a specialty of studying mutant abilities. Through him she discovered that she could control and manipulate pheromones, and that her eyes and voice possessed a hypnotic quality. These combined abilities allow Siren to control someone as subtly or overtly as she wishes, and with them she has waged a one-woman war against abusers of women and children. You can’t resist the silver eyes and golden voice of The Siren!

Yes i will send you it.. by the way she doesnt have legs the picture cuts off at the legs.. i moved everything with the “all” and everytime i export it it moves everything up.. i will try to fix it maybe by moving every thing by itself or just redoing everything.
Ah, then that’s your problem. That’s a known bug — the “All” setting doesn’t transfer to the Export. Unfortunately there’s not a fix, you’ll have to move things in smaller groups.
Or just do a screen capture, that’s less flexible but more reliable.
Finally, i moved everything by them selves..

http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb476/Calvary_Red/Calvary_Red-XandersWindow.jpg
Xander Cain was the son of Alex Caine, the founder and CEO of Caine Industries, a top-tier technology and weapons manufacturer, that held many important government and military contracts. As such, Alex always pushed his son to be the best, so he could one day take over the business. Even though Xander wanted nothing more than to make a name for himself with his technical genius, his father could be cruel, and Xander didn’t appreciate his dad constantly putting pressure on him.
Despite this Xander was brilliant, and by the time he was sixteen had already been accepted by several prestigious colleges. Alex wanted Xander to go to his own alma mater, Cal Tech, but for the first time Xander found he had the power to refuse his father’s wishes, going across the country to Georgia Tech instead. His father was furious, but allowed it, as Xander was a prodigy, and once he finished school, he’d be a prime successor to Caine Industries. Xander went on to get a PhD from MIT, but rather than take over Caine Industries, he founded his own company, Xander Corp. Now his father was furious, he cut Xander off from the family fortune, and considered him dead.
But Xander was far from dead, in a few short years “X Corp” was thriving producing technology decades ahead of most of it’s competitors, including Caine Industries. Soon X Corp took over many of the contracts Caine Industries had held, driving them out of business. Now Alex Caine had nothing, and Xander had everything his father once held, but that wasn’t enough, he had to go beyond anything his father had accomplished.
Xander began dealing his weapons under the table to militant groups in small countries, fueling civil wars. Once these countries had torn themselves apart he would publicly step in and “benevolently” rebuild their countries with his technology, leaving them under his control as he built his global corporate empire.
Soon he found the growing number of super villains provided him with a market in the United States, and began providing weapons to gangs, organised criminals, and domestic terrorists. Now he’s entered his endgame, unleashing his most powerful weapon yet, the XC 41-N3 War Drone, with the intent that from the ashes of America, his empire will rise. Now the only thing that can possibly stop him is the combined might of America’s greatest heroes…

Well since my go to heroes are a group of runaways with no real superhero uniforms or resources to speak of, I think I’m going to try some of them out for this contest 😀
First up is:
Maximo
Miguel Diez is an orphaned Mexican-American, born in San Diego after his mother illegally crossed the border. She died during delivery with no form of identification, leaving Miguel a citizen with no family to speak of. He was a ward of the state until the accident which granted him his powers led to his becoming involved with the Chaos Kids. As Maximo, Miguel enjoys vast superhuman strength. He’s only a child (with a passion for small cuddly animals) and on occasion he forgets about the consequences his strength can have on those around him…

Howl
You’ve probably seen him around the site before, but he’s a favorite of mine so I made a new image 😀
Archibald Donne is an ex-junkie from the mean streets of Birmingham, England. He’s got a scar across his face to remind him of his wilder days. After moving to America to start a new life, he joins the Chaos Kids after his newfound sonic scream demolishes his apartment. A brawler with a temper, Howl’s always eager for a fight.

Flash forward to present day Now going by the name of Fro, he fight crime with a vengeance. with the ability to manipulate all forms of enegry and radiation Fro is aforce to be reckoned with.
Dex’s only power is that he can see other people’s auras. The auras that interest him particularly are those of murderers rapists and any other evil doers. He then kills them.

This is Foxie and Howler, they are members of The Night Wolves, a group of young men and women that patrol the night, bring peace back into their neighborhood. Without super powers they rely on each other and their knowledge of hand to hand combat. Some say that they are War Vets that want to have a better world for their children to grow up in. Others say that they are ghost trying to stop the spread of hate. And others say that they are the wrath of God sent down to clean the streets of the trash that has invaded the once beautiful neighborhood. They blend in, dressed like everyone else, the only way to tell who they are is by the paint they use to cover their faces and the badge their all wear proudly upon the chest. With no one the wiser, as to who they are or where they come from, they are cleaning up the streets one night at a time.

I am not sure, if my entry is allowed. Instead of creating my own character, I have re-imagined the three most iconic superheroes as everyday people.
In my elseworld’s version of the DC-Universe, Clark Kent never adopted the identity of Superman. Instead, he used his intellect and super-vision to reverse-engineer the technology of the spaceship, that brought him to earth. With the fortune made from the patents, Clark founded his own company. Tired of the charade, he revealed his alien nature to the world and gained honoray status as a human being, after he sold the rights to a few of his inventions to the UN. Clark Kent now runs his multi-national corporation “Tomorrow Industries” and improvises the living standards for the human race with new technologies.
Inspired through an interview with ace-reporter Lois Lane, Clark teamed up with Bruce Wayne, sole heir to the Wayne’s fortune. Wayne, who saw his parents murdered as a child, used his money to build the “Night Watchers”: a non-profit internatinal volunteer organization of citizen crime patrollers. (The equivalent of the Guaridan Angels Organization of our world) The two men were joined by the ambassador of the Amazonian kingdom Themyscira, Princess Diana, whose knowledge of Amazonian healing techniques have revolutionised medicine.
Together, the three founded and run the “Just World Foundation.”

It’s unique.
Character Name: Julio Esteves aka Undergrowth
Powers: Mineral/Earth manipulations, able to move any amount of Earth, Rock, Clay or other forms of minerals as he pleases. This includes most metals. He also has minor control of the density and hardness of a mineral he controls, allowing him to make effective shields from even soft metals.
Age: 17
Julio was on his way home one day when he came across a smashed object in an alley. Unsure what it was, he went over to pick it up, only for the thing to explode as soon as he touched it, leaving his face and arm horribly burned. He woke up in a hospital, panicked, and accidentally blew out the room with the concrete from the walls. He has since been living on the street, too scared to go home with his powers so out of control. Over the course of months he has been harnessing his powers and is now capable of perfect control when in a calm state. However, can still lose control when in a state of extreme emotion.

Rift
A Guatemalan native orphaned by the Civil War of the 1980’s: Ramiro Quevedo grew up on the streets of the capital, living a thieve’s life to survive. He was eventually caught and forced into military service to avoid prison time. Ramiro hated the idea of working for the same forces that killed his parents during the genocidal massacres that characterized the war, so he deserted at the first opportunity. It was during his fugitive escape, dodging federales and gunfire, that Ramiro would encounter the asteroid fragment that would grant him his powers. Gifted with the ability to open spatial gateways for instantaneous travel to any point on the globe, Ramiro began a new life from himself with the Chaos Kids in America. He’s more serious and thoughtful than the rest of his teammates, but be careful not to cross him. He’s not averse to gating somebody to Antarctica to teach them a lesson.

Here is my entry for this week. I pictured this character as an ex-military specialist who was tired of the violence he had experienced an chose to spend the rest of his life helping becoming a man of the cloth. All was well until the mob moved into his district and started to control the people he wanted to serve. Oh well, old habits die hard…Peace be with you.

Celeste is able to naturally generate and manipulate electricity. She is learning to control her powers. With concentration, she can light a bulb in her hand or jumpstart a car battery. It is harder for her to focus than fire a lightning bolt.
The clothes in her wardrobe are blue, white, or yellow. Though she cannot control the weather, she often sports a motif featuring a cloud with a silver lining.
