A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

 

I just got the latest set of pics back from The Arc (thanks again), and here are the

first of them -- the redone mystic martial artist Thunderbird, both in his normal

armor and in his Thunderbird Omega armor:

The difference between the two armors is that the Thunderbird Omega is something of

a "weapon of last resort" type of armor, in that it only appears in extremis -- that is,

only if the wearer has exhausted all of his combat options and has no other means of

fighting his enemy but that (and even then, he can't consciously summon the armor;

it appears on its own upon sensing the need of its wearer). The Thunderbird Omega

armor not only gives its wearer access to greater levels of power, it also enhances his

fighting abilities (to the level of what some would call being able to crack open a 55-

gallon drum of whoop-a$$ on the bad guys).

Here's a fellow who's been a regular visitor to Q.U.A.R.K.'s supervillain advice thread

not only in the past, but a little more recently as well -- steriaca's very own Mister

Wicked, a bit of a retro-style villain:

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

 

A new villain group -- whose membership, with one exception, is entirely European -- has

appeared on the scene, and their attacks upon the technological infrastructure of society

(communications and computer networks, food production and distribution, housing, etc.)

have made the group as a whole the focus of the Tech Squad's current anti-crime activities.

 

This group is known as the Legion of Anarchy, and is led by a man known only as Lord

Anarchus, who was once a member of the peerage of the United Kingdom and one of the

strongest supporters of social order. Whatever caused the change in him is unknown, but

for whatever reason, he now seeks to destroy society as a whole and to replace it with

widespread chaos. It is also unknown if he possesses superhuman powers of his own at

this time; what is known is that he is possessed of an extraordinary charisma, which has

enabled him to gather and recruit followers from the various strata of society, and to turn

them into the group's own private army. The members of this "army" are referred to as

Troopers, and represent virtually every color, creed, and nation of mankind; about 70%

of the membership is male, with the remainder being female. Regardless of gender, every

Trooper is capable of vicious terrorist behavior if such is called for by their leader (and he

does at almost every opportunity).

 

The membership of the Legion of Anarchy (aside from Lord Anarchus) is as follows:

 

Lady Chaotica: the wife of Lord Anarchus, this woman is a mutant mentalist whose powers

enable her to induce violent behavior in her victims, causing them to carry out acts of mind-

less destruction and vandalism.

 

The Bruce: the oldest of Anarchus and Chaotica's two children, this young man is a trouble-

maker who spends his time traveling from one part of the United Kingdom to another, doing

his best to cause chaos and insurrection in her various territories; if he possesses superhuman

powers of his own, he has been largely successful in concealing their existence.

 

Urban Decay: the youngest child of Anarchus and Chaotica, this teenage girl possesses the

mutant power to weaken the molecular bonds which hold matter together; when applied to

structures like apartment or office buildings, the result is a progressive degradation of their

support structures, causing the eventual collapse of the affected buildings.

 

Barbaricus: a former member of the East German Stasi, he lost his job when Germany was

reunited; he was later found and recruited by Anarchus, and was given superhuman powers

to make his new job -- carrying out attacks on those institutions which protect society -- even

easier.

 

Biohazard: the sole American on the team, his job is to cause chaos by causing what appear

to be outbreaks of highly-contagious disease within a target population; he accomplishes this

by means of his "nano-pathogen" technology.

 

Doctor Blight: this scientist is a firm believer in what he calls the "Niven-Pournelle Axiom" --

that any nation is little more than three meals from a rebellion at any time; his job in the

Legion is to come up with ways to cause anarchy and revolution through the destruction of

the food production and distribution network of a nation -- and he's been looking at a bio-

chemical means of doing that job lately.

 

La Revolucionairia: this Spanish woman is the commander of the Legion's Troopers, and she's

one of the more fervent members of the team -- as well as one of the more violence-prone mem-

bers.

 

Le Saboteur: this Frenchman is an expert in the fields of demolition and industrial sabotage; his

personal credo is that there are no factories or refineries that can't be shut down with a few well-

placed and fused charges of high explosive.

 

 

Next are the pictures of the team members.

 

 

(Credit for The Bruce belongs to The Arc; the idea for the character was his.)

Sorry for the delay in getting the rest of these posted; my laptop decided to freeze on

me, and I had to let some time pass before I could post these.

 

 

Urban Decay and The Bruce:

Doctor Blight:

It can safely be said of Doctor Blight, that he's the one supervillain that the plant-man

Thorn would gladly join forces with superheroes in order to have a shot at turning the

"good" Doctor into organic compost; his rationale being that Blight would serve a more

useful purpose that way, than as a destroyer of plant life.

La Revolucionairia:

In the early days of her career before joining the Legion, La Revolucionairia had an

accident involving an incendiary device, one which caused severe burns to her arms.

Although reconstructive surgery was able to deal with the worst of the resulting scars,

those that remained were enough to cause her to see herself as disfigured; because

of this, she is never seen without the gloves that extend nearly all the way to her el-

bows.

For a Anarchist and foe of social order, isn't marriage a little bit too "orderly"?

People can be togehter and even have children without that "social institution" called marriage.
