Major Tom 2009

A reimagined version of an old friend from the Cosmic Centurions thread, plus some new additions
to his forces -- Lord Dark Matter:
 
 

 
 
Given that some of the really big baddies in the comics have recently updated their looks (with the notable
exception of a certain Eastern European megalomaniac tyrant who hasn't changed his style since his first
appearance some 40 or 50 years ago), I thought it was only right to give LDM a new look, especially since
I've gotten the hang of FdH16.
 
As for the new additions, I figured that someone like LDM would have an elite group of bodyguards/soldiers,
not unlike the Praetorian Guards who protected the Roman Emperors centuries ago. To that end, I came up
with the Red Praetorians, a legion-sized group of the finest warriors of the Nth Legion of Infinity whose sole
responsibility is to protect Lord Dark Matter (and his immediate family) from any and all threats. The leader
of this force is a woman known only as Lady Entropia, who holds the rank of Tribune.
 
(Lord Dark Matter originally created by Egyptoid [iIRC]; let me know if I'm wrong)

Here's a bit of a creature feature for this thread -- the Hydra:

Here's a possible member of the DoS whose inspiration shoudn't be too hard to guess -- Prince Bjorn:
 
 

 
 
Bjorn is a descendant of Vikings who were transplanted on an Earth-like world by an advanced race centuries
ago in order to preserve the Norse culture of that time; while many of the more savage customs have faded
with the passage of time, the Vikings of Skyhaven -- their name for their world -- have remained formidable
warriors to this day. While their martial prowess is known throughout the civilized worlds of the galaxy, they
are also known for one other thing, one that has caused a great deal of trouble for them -- that some of the
most beautiful women in the galaxy can be found on Skyhaven. Needless to say, this has had the effect of
attracting pirates and slavers in droves, all hoping to get that million-credit cargo: a hold full of Skyhaven
women to sell on the galactic slave market. The warriors of Skyhaven, however, were more than able to keep
their womenfolk safe from that fate -- that is, until the day that Diabolon and his forces arrived to plunder the
planet.
 
In spite of the ferocious defense mounted by the Vikings, Diabolon's forces managed to capture a large number
of young women -- among whom was Bjorn's own sister, Brunnhilde, who was regarded as the most beautiful of
Skyhaven's women. Before the last of the pirate raider craft left to rejoin Diabolon's flagship, Bjorn managed to
board it in the hope of being able to rescue his sister and the other kidnapped women. Before he could do any-
thing, however, the ship executed a hyperspace jump, which took it to Earth's solar system. Upon its arrival, the
pirates -- led in person by Diabolon -- launched a raid in order to kidnap some of Earth's women for the same
purpose (minus, of course, those who Diabolon kept for himself); however, the Defenders of Sol were quick to
intercept them before they could carry out their raid. Taking advantage of the distraction, Bjorn managed to
free the women from their captivity -- with the exeception of Brunnhilde, who had been locked in Diabolon's own
quarters -- and launched an attack from the rear. With the help of the Defenders, Bjorn and the kidnapped
women were able to escape from the pirate ship. Enraged by the failure of his plan, Diabolon fled from the fight,
swearing vengeance upon the Defenders and Bjorn as he did so.
 
Having heard from the rescued women that their arch-foe still held the sister of their Prince captive aboard his
ship, the Defenders pledged their support to Bjorn to find and free Brunnhilde from her captor, and extended
an offer of membership in their group to him. Impressed by the fighting skills of the Defenders, Bjorn accepted,
and has been a member ever since.
 
NOTES: As a member of Skyhaven's Viking society, Bjorn is an expert with all of the traditional weapons of his
people, which is reflected in his choice of weapons -- dagger, longsword, and a weapon called the Maul of
Ragnar, which he inherited from his father. The Maul -- forged from a metal native to Skyhaven called 'demi-uru' --
weighs 30 lbs, and in Bjorn's capable hands is a terrifying, man-crushing weapon.
 
The picture next to Bjorn's is of his younger sister Brunnhilde.

I find myself suddenly imagining what would happen if a new player showed up on this MMO looking like
Linus Van Pelt (complete with blanket), and immediately getting into trouble by announcing that he's
looking for the Great Pumpkin ( )...

That is just so...so...deliciously, delightfully, and dementedly Machiavellian.
 
Not to mention being funny as hell.
 
I salute the Great Evil Pumpkin ( :hail: :hail: ).

Regarding the third picture: someone had better get hold of Reed Richards and tell him his Negative Zone
files need updating ( )...
