So I found these amazing Public Domain Superheroes drawn by the incredible Alex Ross.
Your challenge…in case you haven’t guessed…is to take one of these golden age characters and re-imagine them for today.
The winner this week will receive a HeroMachine rendering of my take on the same character.

Here’s mine.
The grandson of the original Sky Wizard, one day he found hid grandfather’s suit and, being an inventor himself, re-purposed and updated the suit to be functional now. He goes by the name Wizard!

Dr. Patricia Dare – the Sky Wizard
Dr. Patricia Dare is the daughter of Jerry Dare and granddaughter of Capt. Henry Dare, the original Sky Wizard’s pilot and companion. She took over the Sky Wizard title, and leadership of the Sky Island and its floating research center, upon the death of her predecessor nearly three decades ago. In the intervening years she hasn’t seemingly aged.
Besides her great scientific and technical knowledge, Dr. Dare is renowned for her tremendous physical abilities. Her strength, stamina, speed and agility are above Olympic levels, and she is a skilled gymnast, Aikido and Tai Chi practitioner. She attributes her abilities to “clean living”, but it is generally believed that she underwent some sort of technical treatment.
She still wields her predecessor’s paralysis gun, and other advance gadgetry, along with many inventions created by her family and team. Captain Dare passed away twelve years ago, but her father, and her namesake and aunt Pat Wilder along with Pat’s husband Clark still work on the Sky Island.
