Think the Tick, think Mystery Men, but come up with your own, be origional!

Hrees some inspiration...

2X

49x58
9 colors incl back
approx 5 mins

Its Devil Boy, his only super power is to be extremly evil
this is not so bad but unfortunatly he has a plastic fork...
Note had to bump him up to BMP else his under a kb and well then cant host him cause file size too small...
Imagine that at image shack!

Isn't "Devil Boy" a villain?
I guess I'll post my villain, too, then.

Could you possibly resize that little thingy?

Only in the eyes of a hero, and guess what the hero is in his eyes!

(Me?)

Errr... I forgot to post why he's a useless villain, too.
He's a venomous vampire penguin with gold fangs and claws. But unfortunately, for him, he can't reach people's necks.
That's a good point, Afflict.

well, i'm not much of an "artist", but i'll have a go.
it's this guy who has these extra long arms, however, he doesn't have the necessary muscles to support them, so they are pretty much useless.

129x133, 7 colours.

BOYD1981 · Tue 21/02/2006 00:03:57

in the interests of bad taste i bring you... LEPER MAN!

34x40, 16 colours

vict0r · Tue 21/02/2006 00:07:09

He doesnt look very leprous... Where is the rotting skin tissue? Where is the agony? And where the hell is his arms and legs?

(now dont take this as c&c anyone. just asking some extremely nescessary questions...)

BOYD1981 · Tue 21/02/2006 00:12:57

he's wearing a mask to conceal his true identity, and his arms and legs not being there is what makes him a leper...

vict0r · Tue 21/02/2006 00:16:35

Oh okay...

Wait a minute! You dont lose your arms and legs when you become leprous! You just start rotting.

And it does exist a cure against lepracy nowadays you know?

BOYD1981 · Tue 21/02/2006 00:18:42

i'm gonna smack you in a minute

Grapefruitologist · Tue 21/02/2006 00:34:12

Maybe he has scurvy.
Wait a minute, you don't lose your arms and legs when you have scurvy, do you?

BOYD1981 · Tue 21/02/2006 00:36:28

only if you're careless...

hmm, perhaps i should have called him Thalidomide Man...

The Ivy · Tue 21/02/2006 00:53:54

Impossi-girl is having one of those days.

Meet Emo!
1x:

2x:

Pouring his soul out into his music regularly caused Harold Charleston's actual immortal soul to partially separate from his body, and it now floats a few inches off his left shoulder.

It doesn't really give him any particular superpowers, but the constant tormented wailing of his soul is really creepy and makes it hard for people in the vicinity to concentrate.

That still doesnt explain why he lacks arms and legs. It would just give him small and nasty limbs. But they would not disappear completely, like with that little fella.

And how do you explain the "L" on his suit then?

sergiocornaga · Tue 21/02/2006 02:23:25

Maybe that "L" is actually a tear in his costume revealing his yellow, leperous/scurvyous/thalidomide skin.

Grapefruitologist · Tue 21/02/2006 02:24:01

You could call him "little limb man" (his arms could be under his sleeves).

Afflict · Tue 21/02/2006 02:27:19

Heres a good name "leave him be"... :
