Now to not leave you with a decidedly civilian character. I’ve started designing the 1960s super-team that The Bear and Elementa were a part of before joining with Spectrum. They were an active crime-fighting unit devoted to protecting and fighting for the LGBT community, put together by Elementa after the Stonewall Riots in New York.
First up is Rosemary’s first incarnation as Elementa, new to her abilities and eager to make a difference in the world.
Next is the Bear, in the freer more scantily clad days of his youth.
Finally we have Arnold Aronov’s former superhuman identity: The Cub!
Backstory on his abilities:
When the Bear was first granted his powers, following a disastrous plane crash, Arnold was gravely injured. Despite the Bear carrying him swiftly from the surrounding wilderness in his powerful new form, Arnold almost didn’t make it. An emergency blood transfusion from the Bear brought him back from the brink. Sensing that the Bear would an anchor, someone to guide him through life, Kodiak empowered the blood within Arnold, granting him an enhanced physique and superhuman senses. He stayed with the Bear throughout his quest, through retirement and back again.
