A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

[freakboy6117]

if you think there bad in DCAU style this will blow your mind Steamteck

[Tech]

Y'know, why let Theron have all the fun? Since he started at the front of CKC, I thought I'd start at the end and work backwards. I present:

Zephyr and Vibron.
Note: Vibron's head is bullet-shaped and his head had to be modified. Also, after reading Vibron's costume description and seeing it in color, I thought it was bland so I slightly spiced up his armbands and boots from his pic.

Figures... I forgot to show Zorran the Artificer. Here he is.

[Tech]

Although he should've come right after Zorran, I was working on Zigzag quite a bit. Hope it comes off well enough; I tried so many different effects but they couldn't pull off what I wanted.

[The Arc]

Flying high over the night skies of Southern Australia comes the winged avenger himself! Look up in the sky is it a bird, not it is the Piping Shrike!

[The Arc]

And last but not least. Representing Tasmania, The Tasmanian Tiger! What you were thinking of some one else?

[Cruz]

Constitution is the hero's name, clone of Black Goliath in powers and costume

[tkdguy]

Clint Eastwood used to be The Man With No Name. This guy is The Man With No Pants!

Well, At least he still wears shorts...

[Pariah]

So, we're doing villains now, are we? Well, I've got a group of villains here from the Old School:

Orb, Diamond, Ultraviolet, and Dart!



Other than the Mark Williams pics that appeared way back in Enemies, I don't recall any particular descriptions of these costumes ever being given...like what colors they were, for example. So I started with the one I thought was pretty obvious (Ultraviolet = purple) and extrapolated from there.

Villain is it?

Well here is the first part of a villain team that I am using for my Teen Champion campaign. Joan and her family was just your normal family until the day the Producer showed up and cast them into the the roles of the Perfect family from the 1950's sitcom That's Perfect! Now they are slaves to the Producer's criminal whims.

Nice! The only color versions I ever saw were in the Steve Jackson Games Cardboard Heroes set.

[Scott Heine]

Wow! This thing is a blast! I had to listen to a bunch of audio files this morning, and it gave me the perfect opportunity to fiddle with it. So here are the Protectors and Coatlicue from To Serve and Protect (at least, as close as I could come using just the tool). In order of appearance: Quasar, Ace, Huntsman, Renegade, Dr. Wraithe, Doc Sonic (more in next post)...

[Scott Heine]

...Helios, Brainstorm, Maelstrom, Silverfist, Coatlicue

I wasn't aware such a thing even existed. Was I even close on the color schemes?

It came out back in the day. It was a nice set, with Denis Loubet artwork that I think showed up later in the 4th edition GM's screen.

The tricky part is that my set has been "based" (hot glued to pennies) for about 23 years or so, so I'm having to do a lot of close looking to guess at who's who unless it's really obvious. Looking at my set, I can see what I'm pretty sure is Ultraviolet (she's in a very generic blue-ish purple outfit), but none of the others are immediately recognizable.

I also seem to recall a somewhat reformed version of UV showed up in a later issue of Adventurer's Club. A quick check of the collection shows it was AC #22, "Castle Security."
