Speedy didn’t do as well in the delivery contest as planned: You must deliver three ornaments, one wrapped package, one musical instrument, and one food item across the arctic to an Inuit village on a toboggan. He–well, he was disqualified for nondelivery and breakage. He managed to hit the only tree in an eight-square-mile region. His nose has been reinflated. Some elves just don’t got it, you know?

*That bustier became turkey legs, elf curl-toe shoes (curl toe added), a root, and shadows. The mic became Speedy’s fingertips visible around the tree (very small), part of the snow indentation of the toboggan landing, and one color only of it became 10% of his scarf and 70% of his earmuffs. The pincer became branches, roots, shadows, and the wrecked toboggan.

@Keric – Still working on and off on your highlights.

This is one that was inspire by a ‘machiner (Mark Williams) on a facebook page.  He was trying to come up with a British hero concept named GUARDSMAN.  I googled for references (see attached below) and came up with a character that I think looks pretty cool.  Using old British army uniforms from the Battle of Waterloo, meet the BRITISH GUARDSMAN!

The mysterious blind man known only as Mister X is sometimes fixer, sometimes hitman. People pay him huge amounts of money to do their dirty work for them, whatever that may be. He’ll make a problem go away, either via blackmail or straight up murder.

It was recently revealed that Mister X was actually the one who framed the original Trickshot for murder, after being contracted by Vox. Rather than being upset that he had been exposed, Mister X was thankful for the publicity and his business reputation has only grown with the added attention the whole thing has given him.

Unfortunately for Mister X, he has also gained the attention of Alexander Franco, the new Trickshot and Franco will not allow the fixer to go unpunished.

Mister X is ready for Trickshot though, he may be blind but he is far from defenceless. He is a master martial artist and is alarmingly talented with all sorts of weapons, just like Trickshot.

Mister X misdirects his opponents like no one else but Trickshot is motivated by a need for revenge and if the two should ever meet, only one of them is likely to make it out of the confrontation alive.

Here comes my next unintentional blatant ripo- I mean superhero, Aquam- I mean the Electric Eel.

The prince of an underwater kingdom (I originally had it as Atlantis, but I realized I had accidentally ripped off Aquaman, and tried to make the ripoff less obvious. Please recommend a name for this kingdom), the Electric Eel can manipulate electricity both in and out of (somehow, he is able to do this even underwater without killing everything inside of it. I came up with this character in elementary school, don’t pick apart the logical gaps), talk and breathe underwater (and out of water, but I don’t think that’s really a power), and swim at very high speeds (he can also run slightly faster than the average man, and is slightly stronger and has better endurance than the average man both in and out of water).

Trained to use his abilities by his father Poseidon (not the original Poseidon. The Greek gods are inherited titles in this universe based on a combination of heredity and superpowers), the Electric Eel is the most experienced member of the new team of All-Stars (unless you count the Warrior). He helped the warrior found the team, requesting help from the warrior to calm a rebellion on the part of his uncle Neptune (a title chosen for himself. The Roman gods do not exist in my universe).

Only now do I realize how stupid and unoriginal this character and backstory are. Come to think of it, all of my characters and backstories are kind of crappy. Oh well, I’ll continue torturing you all with them anyway.

List #1. Your take on any of the characters in this post: https://www.heromachine.com/forums/topic/true-life-superheroes-a-hm-webcomic/#post-143206 . Interpret them however you like based on whats there! I hope you like it! and txt to play with!

The first installment in a topic no one cares about.

Little is known about the Warrior or his past. However, in the nineteen-forties, he became a founding member of a team of super-heroes known as “The All-Stars” (the rest of the original incarnation will come later. Right now, I’m working on the current incarnation). While his birth is believed to have been in the late nineteen-twenties, he has not seemed to have aged in years, appearing to have become immortal during the late nineteen-sixties.

In the early nineteen-seventies, the original All-Stars disbanded. The Warrior went off the grid. He was soon placed in charge of the Organization of Superheroes, a loosely organized group designed to find and train new heroes, and to keep heroes on the same side. He personally presides over one of their training sites, on location of an abandoned Vermont summer camp. This is where he personally trained several of the new All-Stars (The Electric Eel had been trained by his father from birth, and Ember was self-trained).

At the sites, as soon as someone is done with their training, they usually either go back to their daily lives or become independent heroes (often with ties to the Organization. The only people who stay past their training are All-Star candidates and certain special cases (i.e., they are at serious risk of death or capture).

When I came up with the concept, I swear I was not trying to even somewhat rip off Professor X. Actually, come to think of it, the majority of my characters are, at least to a certain degree, unintentional ripoffs. Just a fair warning as I continue to post.
