My entry this week: Captain Rushmore!
http://fav.me/dcr9mit
George Theodore Jefferson was an average security guard at the Smithsonian Museum. One night he was on duty when he caught a man in a black hooded robe trying to steal an amulet. As he tried to take it away from him, the amulet fell to the ground, shattering and releasing a strange energy. He felt strange, as if his soul was leaving his body, and passed out only to wake up and see himself trapped into a nearby statue of Abraham Lincoln!
With his new stone body, George gained super strenght, super resilience and immunity to pain, hunger, cold and heat. He decided to retire from his job as a security guard and became Captain Rushmore, the Stone Patriot!

After getting out of the hospital he was fired from the police force due to his reckless actions. Still wanting to do good in his community he forged a shield and costume becoming Freedom. During his first mission, he helped rescue animals that were illegal being experimented on and adopted a dog named Brave that was once used by the military.

I’m not entirely sure what to name my character, so he is going to be called Veteran. This is a version of him I made sometime ago, as in, a couple years ago. I believe this piece also resides within my gallery.

For my entry this week, I decided to modernize him a tad bit. Here is an up close version of him, since my entry will have him slightly at a distance and I want to share my hard work on him.
