Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I'm glad you like it. Just a warning, it's not always office friendly (there is some nudity). Another great super-hero type webcomic is Johnny Saturn.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Not exactly. Torii can create "gates" through space, but not time. I based Torii on a character I wrote years ago called Ryoko-sha or 'the Traveler' who could travel through time.

Also this is probably the 3rd or 4th incarnation for Traktor.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Recently I've been reading a webcomic called Magellan which I think is real cool. It also got me thinking about some of the teen drawings I've posted. The Dresdan Academy is what came of it. For those curious, I based the costumes on the Dresdan coat of arms.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I decided that my last drawing of Damnation didn't fit. So here's a new one. Damnation Here's an original drawing of Damantion by me. Background Jean-Claude was always a sinner, always a violent man; and before he was eighteen he had killed a man in a barroom brawl. Afterwards Jean-Claude fled with the gendarme on his tail. The gendarme had tracked Jean-Claude to a remote town in the Pyrenees Mountains. It took ten police officers to subdue him. However, Jean-Claude killed two of them in the attempt. Now Jean-Claude was on death row in Clairvaux Prison. His lawyer, Jean-Evariste Colbert assured him that he would get him off, but Jean-Claude wasn’t sure. In the end for all the efforts of his attorney, it was for naught. On a stormy night Jean-Claude was led from his cell to meet with a priest before being sent on to the electric chair. Normally Jean-Claude sneered at priests, but this one was different. In no time Jean-Claude opened himself, baring his soul to the priest. So when Jean-Claude went to the electrical chair he did with a new understanding. Just as the switch was thrown, lightning struck the transformer. The effect of the electricity from the chair and the lightning caused Jean-Claude’s Uber abilities to manifest themselves. An electrified Jean-Claude stood up showering the room in sparks. Chaos broke out as guards and witnesses tried to flee. Several people were hurt and might have been killed if Bastille hadn’t showed up. Jean-Claude laughed manically and started throwing bolt after bolt of electricity at Bastille. The two fought through Clairvaux Prison destroying large portions of the prison. Jean-Claude had Bastille on the ropes when he felt the sudden urge to fly high up into the sky. Surveying the damage below Jean-Claude felt the irrational impulse to fly towards Rome. He couldn’t explain the desire. Bastille and Clairvaux Prison were forgotten. Days later, an exhausted Jean-Claude found an open window of a nondescript building not far from Saint Peter’s Basilica that seemed to invite him in. Waiting within was the priest that Jean-Claude had met back in France. Later Jean-Claude, who was giving the name Damnation, learned that his new master was Cardinal Syn, and the cardinal had big plans for the Frenchman. Personality Damnation is a thug, pure and simple. His greatest pleasures in life are tormenting (or torturing) hapless victims. He’s quick to get into fights, and it’s only through the generous amounts of mind control that Cardinal Syn uses on him that keeps Damnation in line. Left unchecked, Damnation will quickly get out of control and try to cause as much mayhem as possible before he’s recalled by the Cardinal. Quote “Damnation comes to any man who turns his face from the Lord.” Powers Damnation naturally generates vast amounts of electricity. He’s able to light a small village all by himself if he ever put his mind to it. Instead, Damnation uses his Uber powers as a weapon. He can throw lightning bolt after lighting bolt without tiring, but can also increase the power of his lighting bolt causing an effect which Damnation calls his “Death Shock”. Damnation can bring the electricity around himself to form a powerful force field, and while he has the field up he can even fly. Appearance Damnation is a muscular Frenchmen with chiselled good looks. He has blonde hair and green eyes. Since becoming Damnation, Jean-Claude has had two crosses tattooed on his body. One is on his forearm and the other on his face. Damnation doesn’t wear a costume as such, but instead wears a checkered flannel shirt, blue jeans, and biker boots.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Penance Here's a drawing of Penance by tribe. Background Domenico diGrasso was the youngest son of a single mother in Naples Italy. His mother ran a bakery along with his three older sisters. Domenico was always a portly child who was doted upon by the women in his family. They pampered him and were always giving him treats. When Domenico turned eighteen he entered the monastery in Naples where he became the librarian of the order. He served the monastery faithful for several years. However, as time went by, so to did Domenico’s torment. Domenico came to the realization that he was gay which was made worse as the years past. The temptations were becoming unbearable for him. To compensate for his lustful longings for the novices, he turned to food as a substitute, and when even that wasn’t enough Domenico turned to self-flagellation. For awhile these two substitutes were enough. It was during a time of personal crisis when all the food and the self-flagellation did no good, that Domenico broke. Domenico had a tryst with one of the younger members of the monastery. However after the lust had died down, the guilt and remorse for the sin that he had committed proved to be worse than the desire for the flesh. In a panic Domenico fled the monastery wandering the streets of Naples seeking a way to end his torment. This was also the time when his meta-powers started to emerge. Domenico had ran across a busy intersection without looking and a bus plowed right into him. The bus was destroyed and Domenico didn’t even feel the impact. In confusion Domenico picked up the bus throwing it a block away. Domenico was found by the Order of Truth the next morning in his mother’s bakery. It was a blubbering Domenico with frosting all over his face that was dragged before Cardinal Sin in Vatican City three hours later. He took one look at the cardinal and confessed all his sins. It only took Domenico about an hours to eventually run out of steam. “Forgive me Excellency,” begged Domenico who was on his knees before the cardinal. “Do seek absolution?” asked Cardinal Sin, whose eyes seem to bore into Domenico’s head. “Yes,” said Domenico, “I am a sinner. I am weak. I seek absolution.” “Excellent,” said Cardinal Sin, “this shall be your penance.”.... Personality Penance is a greatly troubled man. He’s a homosexual and also a monk. The lust in him is something he has denied so long, and the one time that his lust overcame him filled him with immense guilt. However, regardless of the guilt it doesn’t change the fact that Penance feels an attraction to men. He tries to deny his feelings towards men, never openly admitting it. This fills Penance with constant conflict. To assuage this conflict Penance is constantly eating. Penance sees his own problems as the worlds problems. He feels for all the suffering in the world, and in a little way blames himself for the worlds woes. For Domenico he feels that he’s doing penance for the world. However for himself his penance will never end because of his denial and his guilt. Quote “All of us have our crosses to bear. Mine is just a little heavier than most.” Powers Besides being immensely fat, Penance is super-humanly strong. His flesh is so thick that most physical attacks aren’t even felt. In addition to his super-human strength, Penance wields a huge bronze cross that he often uses as a hammer. When not using the cross as a weapon, Penance usually wears it around his neck. Appearance Penance is an extremely obese man. He’s completely bald and his skin is very pale, but not as light as an albino. His clothing consists of black robes tied with a thick white rope for a belt. Normally Penance keeps the hood of his robes up to cast his face in shadow, but he doesn't mind if the hood falls off during combat. Under his robes, Penance wears sandals and nothing else. There is a lot of scarring on his back from self-flagellation. Hanging from a cord around his neck is a bronze cross that weighs several tons.
