Re: Why Obadiah Stane went bad.... I wonder if anyone did the stats up for the Iron Monger suit?

Re: Defender! Thanks. I gotta compare the stats to my PA hero, who has a rivalry with him.

Where can I find the latest version of the Champion's hero Defender? Which book, link, PDF, article, what have has the latest version?

Re: The Emergence Of Superhumans Actually, the reasons my Universe doesn't have super tech all over the place is from TVtropes, actually, the comics they reference as to why it's not in the Marvel Universe. I'll link the two paragraphs directly. Hand Waved somewhat during the Mark Waid run on Fantastic Four, when one issue revealed that Reed does indeed make money from some of his patents... by taking money from other corporations to delay releasing advanced products that would revolutionize whole industries overnight and likely destroy the world economy by putting millions out of work. For instance, he takes money from Sony not to release a portable super-computer he has developed, which would presumably pose a significant risk to Sony's current market share and operational procedures (and those of other computer manufacturers as well). He presumably does this with other advanced technologies, but it is not specified which ones; a later issue mentions him selling a cure for acne to Revlon. There is technology higher than the real world's available in the Marvel Universe- everything from ray guns to cybernetics to jet packs and more; it's just too expensive for the average person. This is the very reason for the existence of companies such as Tony "Iron Man" Stark's, which provides wealthy organizations like SHIELD with their equipment. Sometimes it even filters down to less rich people, for example if stolen. Of course, why the process for making it all cheaper hasn't been invented is a good question. And it's rebuttal: Not if you know modern tech like, well, aerospace in general. Manned space flight is solely practiced by NASA; which is both A). a research agency more interested in building new tech instead of streamlining the old - so it all remains expensive fifty freaking years after it was developed. and . a regulatory agency, making it the only business in the US that is permitted to deny licensing to their competitors, meaning nobody else gets to try. A less soul-crushing example is supersonic flight - the Concorde wasn't advanced enough to be efficient and therefore wasn't profitable. The new SSBJs (Super Sonic Business Jets) are a more reasonable attempt at developing a market for the technology. Stark and Richards probably have prototype wondertech up the wazoo but no market to develop it into commercially viable products - The Government isn't going to let their contractors provide protesters with Powered Armor and Flying Cars. Those are MY reasons as to why the tech level isn't all that much higher. Is it realistic? Maybe. Is it PLAUSIBLE? Entirely.

Re: In your Universe ...

Re: Dr Zero's Art Thread Good Lord. Storn, Poison and now YOU? Time for me to hang up my pencils...

Re: Heromachine v3 Alpha looks pretty good OK, I like this. I like this a lot! Wow! One thing I've already noticed. Insignias. You can drag them around the body.

Re: Condiment King Would people stop peppering this thread with bad puns? Yeesh...

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread Only two issues. The spacing of his eyes, and the perspective makes his torso look thing. But at least, you can shade. I wish I could do that.

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread I like it!

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread The colours make it look better. Honestly, I didn't care much for the black and white. It wasn't your best work, and I still have issues with the posing. Sue doesn't QUITE look right for her position, and Richards looks a tad too old. The best character is Thing. Still, it's hands down better than I can do...

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread My issue is Sue. She looks like she's pulling away from Reed. That intentional?

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread Ironically, I liked the idea of a brand new chance. And Black Cat IS my favourite Super 'heroine'. On the OTHER hand, it was a cheesy, contrived and frankly, having a happily married Superhero out of a long line up of screw ups (Cyclops anyone?) was actually, kinda nice. So toss up for me, leaning towards "What the hell were they THINKING???"

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread The only flaw I can see is her neck. It's the same size as her head, it looks off.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Point.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Isn't that like... A crime against humanity?

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread Sadly it's a form of arthritis, which means it's degenerative. I am, however, waiting for a treatment that will increase my mobility because of it. Anyway, yah, what they said. Keep going Poison!

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread I lost access to my printer/scanner, and given my current health, I've been having problems actually getting a pencil to paper. Lord knows I'd LOVE the be able to ink, though...

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread Very nice, Poison. I envy your skills.

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread Deathstroke has been DC's Wolverine for years now. That being said, NICE pic, Poison!

Re: What would your sidekick be named? My Sidekick would have to be 18 or older.

Re: What would your sidekick be named? Bubba, I like that one. Mine? She would be named Friday. :rolleyes:

Re: Poison's FREE Character Drawing Contest - #1 And of course, Bob makes an inadvertant pun to my last statement of not getting a bite, by putting forth a Vampire. Nicely done, sir.

Re: Poison's FREE Character Drawing Contest - #1 And you said you'd get no bites! HAH! If you're good enough, they will come... Especially for excellent, free art.
