  2. And here's what a certain god of war might look like if his armor were to combine both ancient and modern styles: Ares Major Tom 2009
  3. Here's a redone villain for this thread: Dagon Major Tom 2009

  6. Oh, yes... Major Tom 2009 >>Insert fiendish Vincent Price laugh here<<
  7. Here's a pair of baddies that could fit in a Pulp HERO campaign as well as in a Golden Age one: Doctor Magma Vulcania (Doctor Magma's faithful aide) Doctor Magma (his real name is currently unknown) is a flame-disfigured genius who is pursuing a vendetta against those responsible for his disfigurement; he makes use of his knowledge of vulcanism to carry out his campaign of murder against his enemies. Because of his appearance, however, he is unable to acquire the materials he needs to create the various means of volcano-based murders of his foes. Fortunately for the "good" Doctor's plans, his aide Vulcania is able to act for him by purchasing the supplies and other items that he requires. As for Vulcania herself, she rarely speaks (except to those with whom she deals with when purchasing supplies for the Doctor); however, those who have dealt with her have either described her as being "fashionably elegant" or "exquisitely beautiful".

  11. Another design reboot of an Enforcer84 character, and the first done with FdH2014 since the download: Dark Paragon Major Tom 2009
  12. Thanks; I'll give that a try. Major Tom 2009
  13. Here's a design reboot of one of Enforcer84's characters: Ultra Woman Major Tom 2009
  14. OK, I just downloaded FH2014, but there's nothing to tell me how to select items from the menus to get them to show up on the 'canvas'. What do I need to do in order to get what I want on a picture? Major Tom 2009
  15. Techamachus MNF (Mobile Nano-Fac) Unit The latest innovation to emerge from the laboratories of Lord Dark Matter's brilliant yet twisted cyborg genius, the Mobile Nano-Fac Unit is a compact and complete manufacturing and repair facility mounted on a tracked mobility chassis, enabling it to traverse nearly any terrain within limits ( mountainous, rugged terrain and under- water environments are thus far the only exceptions). A medium-range sensor located underneath the main body just above the forward treads provides advance warning of hazards in the MNF Unit's path, such as thin layers of rocky crust concealing hollow spaces that could break under the unit's weight. The MNF Unit is protected by light yet strong armor, which is capable of withstanding hits from such Earthly weapons as .50-caliber machine guns and LAAW rockets; a pair of shield generators within the main body provides additional protection from energy-based weaponry. The MNF Unit can be operated by one of two means: either by a "plug-in" computer module with limited A.I. cap- ability (which can both 'drive' the unit as well as operate the nano-fac systems), or by Techamachus himself. The MNF Unit makes use of both nanotech assemblers and disassemblers to both repair damaged LoI weapons, as well as to break down and analyze any technological devices or weapons which come into the Legion's possess- ion; the unit can also manufacture any device or weapon used by the Legion, due to the extensive on-board data- base stored in the unit. A towed trailer module carries a supply of the components necessary to build said devices and weapons; as for any raw materials that may be needed by the MNF Unit, such materials are stockpiled as part of the supplies of any LoI base or outpost. As far as is known, only a dozen of these units are in existence, and are typically assigned to very important missions by Lord Dark Matter himself. Major Tom 2009
  16. Spartana The Immortal -- and his minions -- had no sooner started to attack Thermopylae and the tourists gathered there when there was a sudden, lightning-like flash of light which momentarily blinded everyone there, terrorists and intended vic- tims alike. When everyone could see again, there -- standing between the terrorists and their would-be victims -- was a young woman wearing armor reminiscient of that once worn by ancient Greek warriors, and wielding a sword as well. Identifying herself as Spartana, the armored woman called upon the terrorists to either surrender or suffer the conse- uences. The Immortal's minions -- all twelve of them -- only laughed and prepared to resume their attack. What happened next was later described by witnesses as "like something from out of the 300 movies", as Spartana used her superior strength, speed, and fighting skills to either cripple or kill all twelve heavily-armed men in less than three minutes, before going blade-to-blade with the Immortal himself. Their fight, which lasted for several minutes during which time Spartana inflicted several wounds upon her enemy while avoiding injury herself, came to an end when Greek police and antiterrorist personnel arrived on the scene in response to the Immortal's attack. Recognizing that his attack had failed, and that he was now outnumbered, the Immortal fled the scene -- but not before swearing vengeance upon Spartana, and promising her that they would meet again one day.

  17. The Immortal The metahuman terrorist calling himself The Immortal first appeared in the Greek Isles, where he carried out several hit-and-run attacks, resulting in numerous deaths and millions of dollars worth of property damage. It was only when he attacked Thermopylae -- the historical site of the 300 Spartans' last stand against the Persian army -- that he met his match and archfoe. Major Tom 2009 Many, many years ago, When Persia came ashore... (From the song Sparta, by the Swedish rock group Sabaton)
  18. Sounds like a pair of characters that are in the WH40K novel Legion: Alpharius, the Primarch of the Adeptus Astartes Alpha Legion, and his twin brother Omegon, who possess a single soul between them -- which makes it rather easy for them to masquerade as one another if necessary. It also helps that every Alpha Legionnaire has had cosmetic surgery to resemble their Primarch. Incidentally, the Alpha Legion are one of the best examples of the "damned if you do and damned if you don't" in literature today. Major Tom 2009
  19. Interesting that you should mention the possibility that the object responsible for the Tunguska Event could have exploded over an inhabited area -- a major city, for example -- rather than over one of the few places on Earth where such an event could take place without causing the loss of human life; a book on the subject that I had the opportunity to read back in my high school days men- tioned the possibility that, had the object arrived a few hours later, New York City would have been virtually destroyed (an artist's rendition of what the city would have looked like following such an event resembled pictures of post-nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with Manhattan Island completely devastated along with much of the city on the mainland). Given the estimated yield of the blast -- 1.5 megatons -- it's unlikely that there would have been any survivors, save those on the outermost limit of the affected area. By comparision, the bombs which were dropped on Japan near the end of WWII were in the 10- to 15-kiloton range. Major Tom 2009
  20. You almost have to wonder how old Marty got hold of his granddaughter's measurements to build the suit, as --at least in the comics -- any powered armor suit has to be designed to fit its eventual wearer; especially since (from the back- ground story) he didn't show it to her until after it'd been built. On the other hand, if he had access to sufficiently advanced technology -- technology of a sort which would allow the armor to reconfigure itself to fit the external physical parameters of its wearer-to-be -- that would explain how the suit would fit her exactly.

  21. Dark Future Cop: In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, a group of Adeptus Mechanicus embarks upon an ambitious project -- to create the first android Adeptus Arbites in the history of the Imperium. Once the android has successfully passed its tests, 'he' is placed in the care of an experienced Magistrate in order to learn how to be an effective Arbites and protector of the Emperor's loyal subjects. Of course, the Magistrate is not informed of his protege's true background -- which leads to some interesting discussions with certain members of the Mechanicum when he does find out...

  22. Sherlock Holmes and YoYo: In this Steampunk comedy-drama, the world's first consulting detective joins forces with an American "clockwork man" to solve bizzare and unusual crimes. Major Tom 2009
  23. There was a scene in the novel Lucifer's Hammer where a few surfers just off the California coast did just that following the impact of a cometary fragment striking somewhere in the Pacific Ocean; most of them wiped out and died in the first few seconds of riding the wave, but there was one surfer who managed to make it inland for a mile or so, before running into an apartment high-rise (can you say 'bug on a windshield/car grill'? Sure you can ). Come to think of it, the Peter Fonda character in Escape From L.A. did much the same thing (or was going to; I forget which it was)... Major Tom 2009
  24. No doubt the Unrated Director's Cut version has the reveal that, while it was Daffy who pulled the trigger, it was actually Bugs Bunny who planned out the entire operation -- even down to having Daffy gunned down by a pack of "vengeful" hunters (after all, dead ducks tell no tales, right?) on his way to his arraignment. Major Tom 2009 Yes, I'm despicable...
  25. Could be worse...at the very least, it'd be better than having said someone slipping blipverts into the display functions of people's cybereyes ( ). Major Tom 2009 Posting 23 miniutes into the future...
