Villains: The Columbian Neckties

(From Left to right, CCW) Mr. Wender, Mr. Corsair, Ticklebug, Ms. Valeda, Mr. Punchdrunk, The Broker, Mr. Green, Johnny Caesar, and Paith)

The Columbian Neckties are a supervillain group for hire. For the right price, they will topple a specific government, raid Ft.Knox, figth a super hero group or even kill anyone they are pointed at. They get their name from the fact that, per the leader's request, they all wear ties. Also, they work out of a large coffee shop; specializing in columbian blends.

Mr. Corsair was the first to form the group with his cohort, Ms. Valeda. Valeda worked with him running gun in Europe. Her superpower is her brain. She has a brain capable of keeping track of whoever, whenever and whereever the Neckties do business with. She forgets nothing. She was the one who helped Corsair build his group. They are as follows:

Mr. Punchdrunk = The strange man is Corsair's muscle. He enjoys beating people to a pulp. For his uniqueness, he wears the skull mask complete with Jester hood.

Mr. Green = Taking his name from a classic movie, Green became Corsair's resident genetist; turning himself into superhuman green man and giving Corsair a present; his laser hawk named Columbus.

Ticklebug = The strange being that inhabits the floating voodoo doll was named Ticklebug by Ms. Valeda. It shoots powerful lightning bolts from it's eyes. Exactly HOW powerful it is, no one is sure.

The Broker = Information on The Broker is sketchy. All that is known is The Broker speaks for Corsair on various assignments. Most everyone can not disagree with the man and supposedly, that is his power.

Mr. Wender = The Ghost who walks within men. The strange being said he followed Ticklebug from the "the other side" and once he was among the Neckties, Corsair gave him a job. Wender did not refuse and now moves from Employee to employee; inhabiting whatever body that suits the job.

Johnny Caesar and Paith = The disc creature known as Paith was a former celestian who walked among the Ancients. He made the mistake of falling in love with Mina Alex who was the daughter of the powerful Shartor; Lord of the Ancients. He cursed Paith to live in the form of the disc; unable to please Mina nor any woman who would come before. The sorceress took pity on him as she could not love him; she gave him enough power to function. Paith took that power and turned mobster Johnny Caesar into his mindless slave; replacing his head with a stone carving of Julius Caesar as a joke. Seeing the evil that he had done in the Columbian Neckties, Mina vowed to correct her mistake and put Paith away once and for all.

Hero: The Wolf Spider

Daniel Tanner was a former cop who pursued a murder supsect into the Triadix Building. He managed to corner him into a room but not before the criminal shot him in the shoulder. Tanner was thrown back onto a DNA Splicer that Triadix was creating. The jolt from his body caused the computer to malfunction and then inject him with two types of animal DNA: the wolf and the spider.

The fusion chemicals began to bond with his blood and in 28 hours; Tanner was transformed into something super human. The combined animal DNA gave him a unique assortment of powers. Super hearing, super smell, enhanced sight, enhanced strenght, enhanced leaping and static cling to walls and objects.

Tragedy struck Tanner as his partner was killed by the exact same murder suspect he failed to capture. Believing that the city's justice system could not help him catch the murderer, Tanner adopted the guise of The Wolf Spider and became the city's newest super vigilante.

Rumors surround the murder suspect that it's everybody from his own brother to a known super villain mastermind. Regardless of who he is, Wolfspider will not rest until he is found.

Villain: The Summoner

Gabe Pairish had been picked on his whole life. Always the blunt end of a bully's attack. Then one day he stumbled one a nearby superhero/supervillain fight. It was Red Victory going up against Addor, the Ice Mage. Red Victory was able to defeat his foe and as Addor fell in battle; his spell book, The Hagan Crest, fell just a few feet from Gabe. The young man took the book and ran.

Learning it's secrets, Gabe began to punish all those who had stood against him. Conjuring monsters and unleashing Ice spells became his speciality. Gabe would then be known as The Summoner.

Heroes: The Femme Fatales

(From Left to Right, Freya and Susie-17)

Taking the name of the great female hunter, Audrey Sinclaire took up the hero-mantle from her deceased father; The Black Arrow. During a raid on the HorrorSmith's synthehuman factory, she managed to wound the vile villain before he left in his submarine. As a fail safe, the sythedic humans began to perish one by one. Freya managed to save the last "Susan" model before the kill-switch hit her. The clone then became the warrior' unoffical "little sister": teaching her how to fight villains like the Horrorsmith.

After Freya's betrayal of Omnicron and his vigilante team Extreme Predjustice; she felt she couldn't trust any hero outside Metro City. She then took up a mercenary job; going after bad guys for a price. Susie-17 joined her, proving to be the one true friend Freya had left.

Villain: Red Hand

The psychopathic villain is one of the few Ancients left. He takes pleasure in inflicting pain on his victims by severing limbs before they perish. His main goal is to destroy Mina Alexa, making him her sworn enemy.

Hero: Mina Alexa

Mina is one of the last of the Ancients. She's watched over mankind for hundreds of years; immortal and wise. She doesn't go into battle unless she has to. She will defend against any threat but prefers to advise the others heroes in their job of protecting humanity from the threat of villains, demons and various warlords.

Villain: Praxus

Praxus is a demon-warlord of the Old World. He re-awoke in modern times and took the form of a person he saw; in this case, Toby Maguire. :)

Heroes: The Drop Squad

(From Left to Right, Counter-clockwise)

Fireball, Sludge, The Canadian, Blue Thunder, Diamond Love and The Gryphon.

Art Project: Universe Z

Hey, everybody

For those who still frequent my blog, I hope the upcoming pictures will prove entertaining. I was inspired to create this project based upon a special random generator Note my brother sent me in Facebook. It allowed to create a "Debut Album" based on some random notes. It was so much fun I decided to use a set of random words to help me build a new Universe of superheroes and supervillains which I have named Universe Z.

The rules of this project are simple. It has to be random. I obtain pictures from random means, by searching my clipart stash and other pictures I've collected over the years by scanning or search engines. I'm allowing myself to obtain pictures through three constant words = superhero, costume and profile. To make it more interesting, I'm going to allow anybody else to contribute based on Eight random samples on one criteria. The list is below.

Name of an Actor
Name of an Actress
A color
A word refering to something "sci-fi"
The name of a weapon
a letter
A number between 50 and 100
A number between 1 and 10

My brother has already contributed to the project. Below is what he gave me.

Jude Law
Cate Blanchett
Orange
Galactic
Claymore
Q
88
6

Now I take these names and plug it into the Google image search. The number between 1 an 10 is what determines what page I choose. In John's case, it was six. I'm allowing myself to download whatever image happens to be on page 6. Then combine all of them into what I can do in Photoshop to make it more Hero-ish or Villain-ish and build a new world from that.

It's a little complicated but I've got a handle on it. :) If anybody wishes to contribute, you know how to reach me. Look above for the criteria and send me your choices. Above are already pictures I've made based on the Criteria I am using.

Hope you enjoy my new series. I know I will because I am happy to be inspired again. :)

The Road to March Trivia Madness begins

Another year has arrived for the trivia tournament known as March Trivia Madness. I'm not sure how long we've been playing, 8 years, maybe? At any rate, this is another attempt to take home the trophy. Hell, after all this time, I'd be happy with either second or third.

Last night me and John did an all nighter; two trivia games in one night. It started out at Amici's in Athens and let me tell you = Amici's at 6pm is MUCH BETTER than Amici's at 8PM. Only the trivia crowd was there. The drinking crowd comes at 8 and they don't normally play trivia. This was a much better experience and I look forward to going back.

Allen's, I'm not so sure off. Definitely the food smelled better but sitting on a stool for 2 hours doesn't do your butt much good. Not to mention they never served us. Never even asked if we wanted a coke or something. We were felt guilty over the fact that we were stuffed from earlier and were not going to order any food anyway. But thanks to their lack of interest, our fears were un-justified.

Regardless, we've become the tournament. We'll see where we go from here.

Perfect stress relief for Peak Season

we have shock and awe

For Marcia

Recently a very nice woman named Marcia past away to cancer. I would have liked to have said I knew her very well but sadly, I didn't. I didn't know about all the good things she had done with her life nor had I known how much she was loved. I feel very blessed to have known her. She was never without a kind word to say to anybody.

As most of my friends and family know, I'm an expert at the claw machine. They also know I'm in it for the thrill of winning; not keeping the prizes that I collect. Marcia knew that and enjoyed supporting me. She was never hesitant to keep me five dollars here and there to go to the claw machine. She knew I never kept the prizes. If I wasn't giving them to friends, I was giving them to whatever child I came across. It's just the way I've always been.

One of the things I enjoyed giving to her was a complete set of Wizard of Oz Muppets. It was a scarecrow Kermit, a tin man Gonzo, a lion Fozzy and a fairy godmother Piggy. She wanted them badly. I never rested until I got her the complete set. Took me about two months but I pulled it off.

So, in honor of this wonderful woman, I went to the claw machines recently. They've not been kind I'm sad to report. Today I had a decent streak and managed to get the toys you see in the above picture. So, for Marcia and the kindness she always represented, I'll be donating these toys to TOYS FOR TOTS in her name.

May her soul shine and God watch over her family.
