Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine The latest batch of pics that I've done lately just showed up in my email, courtesy of The Arc (thanks again), and here's the first one of them -- Felicia, a feline-type "playbeing" (a.k.a. "erotic exotic") from the Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0. universe: [ATTACH=CONFIG]40635[/ATTACH] I used the pic from the CP2.0.2.0 supplement Chrome Book 1 as the guide for her pic. Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine The picture below shows one of Lord Colubridus' many minions -- a Serpent Legionnaire in full gear: [ATTACH=CONFIG]40601[/ATTACH] The primary weapon used by all Serpent Legionnaires is a pulse blaster rifle, which has a cyclic rate of fire of 300 r.p.m. (about half that of a conventional autorifle) and can be set to fire either armor-piercing shots or stun blasts. Their secondary weapon is a blaster pistol; unlike their rifles, their blaster pistols fire explosive energy blasts. Spare powerpacks for both weapons are carried in the pouches of the web belts which are part of their uniforms; their weapons load also includes four HE grenades, a commando knife, and a wire garrote. Their uniforms are composed of a hybrid of Kevlar and fire-retardant materi- als, and a special energy-dissipating mesh has also been incorporated into their design as well. This mesh has the effect of reducing the effectiveness and potency of certain types of energy attacks, especially those which are based upon electrical energy. The helmets which are a part of the uniform are also composed of the same materials, and are equipped with secure- frequency radiocommunicators, IR/UV optical sensors, and anti-glare polar- ization as well. The helmets worn by those Serpent Legionnaires in command positions (platoon level and higher) have an additional set of enhancements, one of which is kept secret from all of them. The first enhancement is a kind of "psi-shield", which interferes with attempts by mentalists to use either mind-control or telepathy on any high-ranking off- icer of the Legion. The second "enhancement" is Lord Colubridus' insurance against the possibility of any Legionnaire betraying him or the Legion: a quarter- pound of plastic explosive concealed within the helmet, which can be remote- detonated by Lord Colubridus at the first sign of treachery on the part of any of his officers.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Lord Colubridus doesn't rule the Serpent Legion by himself; he has a very capable -- and extraordinarily lethal -- second-in-command, who is known only as Lady Elapidia: [ATTACH=CONFIG]40600[/ATTACH] Lady Elapidia handles the day-to-day administrative details involved with running an international superterrorist organization, allowing Lord Colubridus to concentrate upon not only his master strategy for global domination, but also those operations designed to mislead and occupy the attention of the superheroes of his Earth -- operat- ions which are designed to conceal his true objectives from any hero or hero team, until it's too late for them to stop them from being carried out. In addition to being the Serpent Legion's second-in-command, Lady Elapidia has one other distinction: she's also the chosen consort of Lord Colubridus, a position she finds immensely pleasurable -- not to mention highly advantageous in many respects. Not only does she love Colubridus (and is loved by him as well), she also shares his goal of ruling their Earth as well. Her position as his consort also brings with it an extremely secret responsibility as well -- that of being his chief assassin, whenever necessary. She accomplishes her assassinations (or executions, depending on who's been marked for death by Lord Colubridus) by means of a literal "kiss of death". Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine The Earth of the Champions Universe isn't the only place where the ancient serpent-god Nama has been involving itself in the affairs of humanity. On one of the many alternate Earths which exist in the Multiverse, there exists an organization that, like VIPER on the Champions Universe's Earth, was not only founded by Nama but which has been heavily influenced by him through- out the decades of its existence. This organization is known on its Earth as the Serpent Legion, and its 'Supreme Serpent'-type leader is a man known only as Lord Colubridus: [ATTACH=CONFIG]40599[/ATTACH] Lord Colubridus is every bit as merciless -- and as ruthless -- as any Nest Leader or VIPER agent ever encountered by the heroes of the Champions Universe's Earth. His superhuman strength and reflexes -- not to mention his ability to mentally control any species of venomous snake (vipers are his favor- ite, but any poisonous snake will serve his purposes) -- make him one of the most dangerous beings alive. His greatest goal is to bring the Earth of his universe under the complete domin- ation of the Serpent Legion, and he will allow nothing to stand in his way. Thus far, no individual superhero or superhero team native to the Champions Universe has had the opportunity -- or mis- fortune, as the case may be -- to encounter Lord Colubridus and his Serpent Legion...but it's only a matter of time before that day comes.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Just remember, though, if you're a Star*Guard (or something similar) and you're trying to get him to cease and desist his nefarious activities, and he asks you if you're a space god, TELL HIM YES! Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine And here's the second of the two monsters -- the Devourer: [ATTACH=CONFIG]40562[/ATTACH] Looking like a gigantic spider with the upper body of a humanoid being -- not to mention the four tentacles like those of a squid -- the Devourer is, in essence, an energy leech. As such, its diet consists of the unique energies possessed by individuals such as superheroes or wizards. Those beings who possess psionic abilities are the only ones who are safe from the Devourer, as their unique energies cause a sort of allergic reaction to it. Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Here's the first of a pair of monsters I'd put together as an exercise in critter creation -- the Darkwing: [ATTACH=CONFIG]40561[/ATTACH] Standing 15+ feet tall, the Darkwing has razor-sharp claws on both hands and feet, as well as twin scorpion-like tails complete with stingers. It can use its clawed feet like hands, using them to seize an unwary victim after first making a diving attack from high altitude (it prefers to attack in this way at night, taking advantage of its ability to fly as well as its superior night vision; its dark coloration makes it next to impossible to spot under such conditions). The Darkwing is possessed of human-level intelligence, making it an ideal minion for an evil sorcerer (whether in a swords-and-sorcery setting, or in a superheroic setting where Doctor Strange-type wizards duke it out with grimoires and spells rather than with optic blasts or super-strength).
