day 1 - big bruiser

codename : Marisa Capeto powers: punching people with her fists

There were no flashing lights granting Marisa Capeto god-like powers. No alien artefacts, no wacky radiation incidents, no super-soldier serum, unless her parents have some major explaining to do. It also seems unlikely she might be an adopted alien baby. Adopted alien babies don't have "the family nose", same as gramps. To be quite honest, Marisa hardly is superhero material.

She first came under the public's eye when aliens got lost on their way to More Interesting and Exciting Places and attacked our lovely town. As the rest of the populace run away shrieking, she did what any honest citizen would have done. She punched an alien straight in the face.

Videos and pictures uploaded on the interwebs gained her the attention of international media agencies and superhero groups. Despite the many places offered to her on various heroes' teams, she still seems uncertain over her future. "I mean", she told a major news outlet, "I'm not the stop-trains-with-one-hand kind, I'm just a strong gal. And well, I was pissed I was going to be late for work again. But just a regular Joe, really". "I could use the money though", she added.

What can we do if not wish our fellow citizen the most exciting and brightest future out there in this big strange world?

Susie takes out a streaker. Can’t have those guys running around. No sir.

[REDACTED] is the “alter ego” of Pickle Man, the self-proclaimed “greatest superhero in ever.” To deal with his debilitating insecurity and social anxiety, he puts forth an unwavering attitude of unnatural happiness and good cheer wherever he goes, causing extreme discomfort to those in his company. This is an excerpt from an interview with an anonymous passerby:

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure he has some serious codependency issues. At the very least. I mean you feel terrible walking past the guy and ignoring him, but talking to him is so painful. He’s like, he’s a grown man acting like a 5-year-old… to, you know, to deal with the fact that he just can’t fit into normal society. I mean it’s really sad, yeah, and you want to help… but like, I have a life, you know? Normal people, we can’t just stop and talk to some freak on the street because, you know, we feel bad for him or whatever.”

Later, [REDACTED] himself was interviewed.

“So… Mr. [REDACTED], do you have any family? Friends, associates? Have you ever had a job?”

Desperately straining himself to hide his crippling depression with an agonizingly large smile on his tear-streaked face, [REDACTED] simply responds:

“I am Pickle Man! *sniff* The greatest superhero in ever, that’s me! *whimper* I’m so happy to save the people! Yes, so very happy!”

He put on a pickle suit and started calling himself Pickle Man. He began regularly patrolling the city in broad daylight, keeping a watchful eye out for crime. When the authorities got a tip about “a dude in a freakin’ pickle suit, walkin’ around like he’s some sorta superman or some crap,” they didn’t know what to make of it. When questioned about his motives, “Pickle Man” (whose name will remain undisclosed at this time to preserve what little dignity he has left, if any) simply says “For great justice! I am Pickle Man!”

Since he’s completely oblivious and really doesn’t do anything, people just let him go about his self-deluded business. “Whatever makes the guy happy, I guess” says an anonymous interviewee. The public is instructed to keep interactions with Pickle Man to a minimum, as he gets very upset when his legitimacy as a superhero is questioned. The local law enforcement tries to encourage him from time to time, as he’s extremely insecure and often requires the approval of others.

About 1.5 milliliters of indestructible toxic slime standing anywhere from .5 millimeters to about .5 centimeters, Goobie (as the superhero community has taken to calling him) somehow gained sentience and quickly adapted a complete understanding of the English language. Most people just chalk it up to some crazy chemistry experiment gone wrong, but regardless of his exact origin, Goobie is capable of irradiating (and thus killing) anybody he touches simply by seeping through their skin. His molecular structure is such that he can appear as a semi-solid contiguous mass (pictured), or disperse into millions of tiny particles. In this form, he can act as an airborne virus, letting the wind carry him around, infecting as many as a hundred people at a time. This infection can lead to death in as little as a second or as long as a month, depending on Goobie’s size at the time of infection.

(Goo is an element, right? And he controls it, I guess? Right? Okay.)

Standing two feet and eight inches tall, Abiran Lakih was born with thirty-seven physical deformities and fourteen metabolic deficiencies. Since his immune system shut down when he was eight, he contracts an average of eighty-five new diseases every day. He has only thirty functional muscles, and a potentially fatal allergic reaction to every food except gruel. At the age of eleven, little Abir realized that he could get basically anything he wanted just by looking adorable and in excruciating pain (neither of which he had any trouble with). Without fail, he can distract even the most heartless of villains with his teary gaze and lesion-encrusted face. Since he can’t really do much else, he relies on his fellow heroes to get the job done, but he’s an invaluable member of the team.

Also, he’s an orphan.

One day, when hopscotch finally got boring, five-year-old Susie Sweet took her father’s revolver from his bedside table because “I dunno, it was just there, I guess.” After fidgeting with it on the couch for almost an hour, she managed turn the safety off, cock it, and pull the trigger. Incidentally, at that very moment, a burglar had just happened to walk into the house, and she nailed him squarely between the eyes. Turns out he was one of the most notorious criminals in the country. Susie was immediately bombarded by the media, and after some target practice, it was discovered that while she lacked any skill, proficiency, or talent with firearms, she had godlike luck. So her parents started letting her carry a gun around. Now, wherever she goes, bad guys always seem to show up in the just right place, and she always happens to be aiming in just the right direction at just the right time. Susie has never missed a single shot.

She just needs a little help reloading.

A three-foot-tall prototype android used exclusively by the police force, codename ZAP was built with one purpose: to incapacitate criminals on the run. You know the story… it became self-aware, started acting to further its own interests, escaped from the testing facility, and before you know it, the little guy’s patrolling on his own, zapping anyone he deems an endangerment to society. A few attempts have been made to apprehend him, but he really only hurts people that act hostile, so eventually the police told everyone to just leave him alone and let him do his job. With the strength of ten stun batons in each “hand,” ZAP is feared by even the fiercest of criminals.

Convicted at the age of fifteen, Waldo Brickton spent all of three hours in a juvenile detention facility before he managed to punch through his cell wall and escape. Standing just shy of seven feet tall and weighing in at a staggering 550 pounds, the elephantine brute of a man has been incarcerated countless times since. Each time he’s put into a stronger cell, but once he starts punching those walls, Waldo will not stop until there’s nothing left to punch. His textbook stubbornness and remarkable durability quickly earned him the nickname “Brick Wall” among the prison community.

Day 4: Miniature Hero

Pfft, day four. More like WEEK four. This time I wanted to experiment with colors/lighting, and I realised that I will always be jealous of people who can paint with contrasting colors but still manage to make it look normal. HOW DO THEY DO IT? WHAT SORCERY IS THIS that makes trees look normal when they are purple? ffffff

I probably spend far too much time in front of the computer, where all the colors are always perfect. Tooooo lazy to go outside.

The Atomic Firefly is only five inches tall. But if you want to know the reason she isthe Atomic Firefly, and not just the Firefly, please make your way to the city of (undisclosed). What’s that? (undisclosed) has been wiped off the surface of the earth? Well, there are still some - sir, I need you to put your radiation suit back on.

just a little heads-up that 24 hour comics day this year falls on the weekend of oct 20. now, what’s 24 hour comics day? 24hcd is a challenge attempted the world over wherein participants endeavor to create a 24 page comic book from start to finish within 24 consecutive hours. professional artists and idle doodlers take part in the event. some succeeding, some failing. and before anyone thinks otherwise, the main deal about the event is not about being able to draw or write comics as it is about being able to finish a comic.

seriously consider doing it.

Day 2: Tech Hero: Hiron

Encased in a suit made of an material unknown to heroes on earth, Hiron  is capable of flight and energy manipulation. The suit has pads and sensors that allow his body to act as the battery, as he produces an abundant amount. The suit also allows for absorption of nearby light energy within the infrared/ultraviolet spectrum.

Day 3: Martial artist or Weapon-based hero

There have been a lot of art tutorials on my dash lately, and I wanted to take them all for a spin. And then I was like, LOL, WORDS and I didn’t read them. I looked at the pictures though. Go me.

Summary blah blah

Copper is a martial artist who only knows how to use one weapon really. But at least it’s a deadly weapon. Also, he’s managed to find a way to conceal his weapon completely on his person, which has baffled the others to no end. It’s a secret that can’t even be bribed with peanut butter brownies.
