Hi everybody,

I posted some micro-heroes, as well a few short stories, here many moons ago, and stopped after a while. I decided to start using the Fábrica de Heróis website to update some of my characters, the heroes of the Chiron Universe.

First up is Marvelman:

Image

Robert West was accidentally bombarded by Delta rays from his father's experimental "Marvel Processor," a device built to cure cancer. Seemingly unharmed, four-year old Robert is endowed with amazing powers and abilities possessed by no man. As an adult, Robert became a criminalist and Marvelman, the greatest costumed champion of the Iron Age of Heroes. However, great tragedy was looming on the horizon for the Man of Might...

Nice job, the symbol on his chest is particularly unique!

Thank you for all of your comments! I appreciate them. Marvelman's chest insignia is simply a circle and a triangle combined together. I then just edited the two shapes in Paint.

Marvelman's second uniform:

Image

When Robert West's parents were murdered by Doctor Lemuel Sorrenn, alias Scourge, a vengeful former colleague of Robert's father's, Marvelman bravely attempted to avenge their deaths. Sorrenn, who built his own Marvel Processor and endowed himself with super powers, and Marvelman clashed in a terrific battle. Scourge was defeated and fled into outer space, and Robert West found his powers waning and then finally disappearing altogether.

Marvelman would return to action several years later to face Scourge again. The second Delta ray bombardment would give Robert West his powers permanently and he would once again become the world's greatest hero. Unfortunately, Lemuel Sorrenn would live on, as well...

Thanks, folks!

Here is Marvelman in his aforementioned civilian identity of Robert West:

Image

Fábrica de Heróis's template is fairly brawny, which would make Marvelman's civilian attire not much of a disguise, but I suppose we suspend disbelief a little bit.

Next is Marvelman clad in his anti-argonite armor. Argonite, a radioactive lead isotope, is Marvelman's only weakness. Argonite's radiation is dampened by iron, of which the armor is mostly composed:

Image

Marvelman's storied career led to his membership and later leadership of the super-team, the Sentinels, as well as his eventual move to Olympolis, Ohio, where he took a position teaching history at his alma mater, Olympolis University. Marvelman would renew his feud with the criminal mastermind Simon Sarduth, but as Robert West, began a romantic relationship with Sarduth's sister, Sarah. OF course, that would complicate matters further for the Man of Might...

Nice variations, but I prefer your original to the second. The last one I also like however, but the civilian one doesn't work for me for the reasons you stated. Try stretching the suit or using the slimmer template to make him less brawny looking.

Thanks for your comments, Cervando. Using the slimmer template doesn't work for me, because Marvelman's face doesn't quite look right to me, and stretching the suit makes him look bigger and kind of boxier.

Up next, the Maiden of Might...

Next up is Marvelgirl:

Image

Ashley Wampaugh is the daughter of Gerald "Gerry" Wampaugh, the childhood best friend of Robert West. Growing up in Westwoodland, Ohio, Ashely was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Robert, wanting to help his old friend and his "niece," decided to transfuse some of his blood to Ashley. Using an argonite-tipped needle, West gave Ashley some of his blood.

Ashley was instantly cured, but her hair turned purple and she soon found herself imbued with Marvelman-like super-powers. As an homage to her "uncle" Robert and her hero Marvelman, she became the Maiden of Might, Marvelgirl.

Ashley wears a blond wig to hide her purple hair and her old glasses while in her civilian identity.

Image

Next up, the world's fastest man on two feet!

Bolt:

Image

Timothy Sullivan is a mutant, born with the ability to move, particularly run, at supersonic speeds. A classically trained chef, which helped since Tim had to consume mass quantities of foods after running faster than sound, Sullivan became the costumed crime fighter Bolt, patrolling his hometown of Ithaca, Virginia for several years.

Tim eventually left Ithaca for the West Coast, where he took up residence in L.A. and resumed his battle against evil as Bolt, as well as became the host of two successful food-related television shows. Bolt was a member of the defunct Los Angeles-based Heroes, Unlimited, and was later recruited by the Sentinels.

There, he reconnected with his old friend and former teammate, Doctor Petra Pyntaroff, the second Speck. Following Lord Wrath's second invasion of the Earth, Tim and Petra declared their love for each other and married soon after.

Bolt in his civilian guise of Tim Sullivan:

Image

Bolt's chest emblem is the symbol for the Zodiac sign of Taurus. I erroneously believed it was the symbol for Mercury, but after learning of my error, decided to keep it because it just looked cool to me.

Thanks.

Next up, the Crimson Archer and the Scarlet Gladiator!

You could combine the symbol of Taurus with the female sign to create a reasonable Mercury symbol. I like Bolt, but I feel he needs ears in the superhero version, whether they are covered or exposed.

The Arrow:

Image

Nicholas J. Baxter became the publisher of Boston's The Daily Talaria newspaper following the untimely death of his father. Baxter crusaded against Boston's crime, utilizing his newspaper as a weapon, and drew the ire of Beantown's most powerful crime boss, Renlor "Renny" Plaxton, as well as such street gangs as the hi-tech Shillds.

When Nick's college roomate, Evan Richards, an assistant district attorney, and his wife are murdered by the Shillds on the orders of Renlor Plaxton, Baxter decides to take the law into his own hands.

An uncanny archer since his childhood days, Nick creates a unique costume and an amazing arsenal of weaponry to become the Arrow. The Crimson Archer eventually brought the Shillds and their leader, the Macedonian expatriate Datzar Laner, and decided to continue to wage a nightly war on crime and evil in Boston.

The Arrow was my first creation, created sometime around 1987, when I eight years old. I've put the character through his paces over the years including divorce, alcoholism, remarriage, children, and even death.

This depiction of the Arrow was done on HeroMachine nearly ten years ago, and I'm still pretty proud of how he turned out.

Excellent design, especially for one so young. My tribute, using the old Timm style Fabrica de Heroes:

Very awesome, Cervando! Many thanks.

I'm thinking that maybe that can be the Arrow of the future.

Coming up next, Crimson Force!

Crimson Force:

Image

Alex McClane's powers first manifested on a cross country flight that was hijacked by terrorists. McClane was he only survivor of the plane's tragic crash, saved by an aura of ruby-colored extradimensional energy released from an aperture located in an extraneous internal organ near his spleen.

McClane mastered his abilities - flight and the power to manipulate the energy to form various shapes and objects, and later decided to use them to fight crime as Crimson Force. In the time when Marvelman had abruptly retired, Crimson Force became the world's preeminent costumed champion.

He, along with his best friend, Bolt, was a member of Heroes, Unlimited, and was later recruited by Marvelman himself to join the Sentinels.

Image

Image

Crimson Force's current design was shamelessly cribbed from ShadowDemon's avatar's design. I did change a few things, so hopefully SD won't be too offended, and I heartily and dutifully thank him for the inspiration.

Coming up, the Valiant Virago herself!
