Here are a few more of The Arc's character pics, this time from his Grand Gulag group and redone in FdH2011 format. Most of them had already-existing pics that I was able to use as references for my versions, while others are basically my interpetations of characters that I only saw written refer- ences for. Here's one of those from the second category: Doctor Grey Matter From what I remember of the Doctor's description, he was basically a 'brain in a bubble' following an experiment (I think it had to do with nanotechnology, but I'm not sure). So I decided to take an 'Arnim Zola'-type approach with his design, in that I made the pic with his brain in an upper-mounted glass dome (suspended in an oxygenated nutrient solution), with a robotic 'face' on the middle front of his mechanical 'body'. The body itself is supported by an anti-gravity field (the glowing blue oval on the bottom) reverse-engineered from alien technology, and is able to change direction and facing by means of an internal array of gyroscopes mounted at 'face' level. Four robotic 'arms' are mounted on the rear of his 'body', and are each tipped with a three-fingered 'hand'; this allows Doctor Grey Matter to physically handle objects, albeit in a limited way. The Doctor is also able to use these arms offensively; he does so by grabbing his target and conducting an electrical charge through them. The charge is of sufficient intensity to stun a normal human being. Doctor Grey Matter's mechanical 'body' is armored, and is capable of withstanding .50-caliber machine gun fire; he is, however, working on a new design for his 'body', one that will have a built-in force field generator.

Mendok the Omnimind, enemy of the Cosmic Centurions (Original pic by The Arc) Major Tom 2009

This one was definitely one of Pariah's A/T-style pics: Vixen I imagine that there'd be more than a few villains who'd like to be plagued by this Curse of Capistrano ( )... (This should be considered a modern-day version of Vixen, given that she's wearing what would be considered a Distracting Costume, and wielding a katana.) Major Tom 2009

The Contessa (I'm not sure who did the original version of this pic; I think it was either The Arc or Pariah) Major Tom 2009

And finally, here's pic No. #5: Fornax Major Tom 2009

OK, I'm back. And now, here's pic No. #4: Jeopardy Major Tom 2009

And here's the last for right now: Fulcrum (I'd redone a total of five of Pariah's pics in FdH2011 format, but for whatever strange reason, one of them wasn't saved in my picture files, so I'm going to have to redo her.) Major Tom 2009

And here's pic No. #2: Cinnanmon Major Tom 2009

Here are some FdH2011 versions of some of Pariah's character pics, starting with a reimagined version of this fellow: Terminal Velocity Major Tom 2009

Especially weird superheroes like Ragman. Major Tom 2009

Here's one of SSgt Baloo's done in FdH2011 style: Atom Ant (Not to be confused with the HB hero of the same name) Major Tom 2009

That is just so wrong... Major Tom 2009

And finally, the mastermind behind the Charms Gang: The Leprechaun This diminutive yet diabolical genius is the mastermind responsible for recruiting and creating the Charms Gang; while his criminal genius is recognized by members of the law-enforcement community, his choice of costume has led many to believe that he is nothing more than an eccentric yet brilliant criminal. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Leprechaun is, in fact, an actual leprechaun, with all of the powers and abilities attributed to members of that race as detailed in folklore. This particular leprechaun, however, is not only fascinated by the outside world, he also wants to add to his hoard of gold -- and has decided to do so through crime. To this end, he tracked down and recruited the various superhumans that now make up the Charms Gang. Quote: "Bloody coppers -- always after me Charms." Major Tom 2009

The seventh member of the Charms Gang: Hourglass Hourglass has the power to manipulate the flow of time within a certain radius, either accelerating or slowing the passage of time as he and the team needs depending upon the situation. If it becomes necessary for them to escape, however, Hourglass has a power reserved just for that purpose -- the Long Second. When Hourglass uses this power, time within his immediate area stops for 12 seconds, which is as long as Hourglass can safely do so; this is usually enough time for the team to make their escape. Once they've done so -- and they're clear of the area -- time resumes its normal flow, with it appearing as though the team had suddenly vanished without a trace. Major Tom 2009

The sixth member of the Charms Gang: Blue Moon Blue Moon has the power to turn herself invisible, making it next to impossible to find her (not only is she invisible to normal sight, but also to infrared detection as well); however, she can be detected, provided that the person attempting to do so can hear her breathing and heartbeat. Major Tom 2009

The fifth member of the Charms Gang: Shooting Star Shooting Star has the ability to fly at super-speed and to fire energy-bolts at his foes, allowing him to deal with any airborne threat to his teammates. Major Tom 2009

The fourth member of the Charms Gang: Crystal Ball Crystal Ball possesses a considerable level of precognitive ability; when she wears her encephalo-enhancement helmet, however, she is able to refine her visions, allowing her to provide the most accurate 'forecast' she can to her teammates. Crystal Ball is the only member of the Charms Gang who doesn't go out into the field with the team when they go on a mission; the mastermind behind the gang rightly considers her to be too valuable to put at risk of capture by the authorities. Major Tom 2009

The third member of the Charms Gang: Blue Diamond Blue Diamond was once a champion sumo wrestler in Japan, until the accident which caused him to be transformed into a being of living, nigh-indestructible diamond-like crystal. Forced to give up the sport that he'd been part of since his teen years, the now ex-sumotori tried to find a new job which would let him support himself. It was around that time that he was found and recruited by the mastermind behind the Charms Gang. Major Tom 2009

The next member of the Charms Gang: Green Clover Green Clover has the ability to alter probabilities -- in other words, he can make things so that he and his teammates have good luck, while their enemies have bad luck. Major Tom 2009

RE: Post #9460 Back a couple of posts ago, I had attempted to post a FdH2011 version of one of two of SSgt Baloo's Animated/Timms-style pics, but for whatever reason, the first pic/post didn't take. I am therefore going to try again; hopefully, the post will take this time (fingers crossed). Quasar Spiderella's pic is back at #9460; that's the other pic of the Sarge's that I did a FdH2011 version of. Major Tom 2009

Some years ago on this thread, one of the forum members (Egyptoid, IIRC) asked if anyone had ever taken the marshmallow shapes from the Lucky Charms breakfast cereal and based characters upon them. Well, while I haven't actually written any of these up, I have taken the time (which I have a good bit of right now, due to my I.V. therapy) to make some pics of them. And so, without further ado, here is the first member of the Charms Gang: Pink Heart Pink Heart has what is perhaps one of the most bizarre superpowers of all -- the ability to imbue inanimate objects with a form of pseudo-life, which she can then control to do her bidding. It is not unusual to see her commanding virtual hordes of toy robots and other action figures during a fight (individually, such figures aren't much of a threat, but in large enough numbers they can be a major nuisance).

Here's one of The Arc's visitors from the Far East -- one who's got some unique problems: Cherry Blossom Major Tom 2009
