I think I thought of a cool arch nemesis for The Christian. He is...The Christian. Yep, same name. Or not, I might call him The Disciple or something so that it doesn't become too confusing. Here's the story. So much of the world has a bad idea of Christians because of the many who claim to be followers of Christ but don't live up to it. Specifically, the ones who don't see others as God's children but see them as 'sinners' who should be punished. Where my original Christian character will not allow himself to harm humans or allow them to be harmed, this new guy sees himself as sort of God's avenging right hand or something. If he encounters a person who he believes has sinned he feels it his responsibility to punish them. In the beginning he's actually inspired by The Christian's crusade but, after the two meet, he sees the Christian as flawed since he won't harm people. He isn't actively out to destroy the Christian, at least at first, but the two are often at odds due to the originals vow to protect all humans and the new guys determination to punish sinners. I think it would lead to some intense battles since the original C can't even allow himself to harm this guy while the new C isn't bound by this. Although he can't physically hurt the Christian with him being invulnerable but he knows the Christian can't harm him either and uses this knowledge whenever he can. Plus, the new guy is aware of the supernatural attributes of the C's hammer and while he won't admit it, he fears it. He would never admit it but some part of his subconscious is afraid of what might happen if it were to ever touch him. He does believe he's right but is also afraid to test that conviction. I don't know if that makes any sense but I understand it. The Christians difficulties with this guy would be multi faceted. On the one hand, he has to somehow stop the guy without hurting him. And on the other he has to try and combat the bad image of christians in general this guy shows to the world. An image many people already hold and are quick to accept.
Gabriel sounds like a good name for this guy. After all, he doesn't want his rep 'sullied' by a guy who refuses to punish sinners, right? I think the reason "Gabriel" is afraid of the Hammer is because deep down he knows what he's doing is wrong, but he can't accept that God would allow sinners to go unpunished. By any chance, did someone do something unspeakably evil to him or someone he knew? Good pic.
The Christian... not THE Christian... but the christian sounds a little like Gabriel. He isn't God's Right hand man... more like his left. Although he did do some interesting stuff in the bible, he is the one that Blows the horn announcing judgment day. So, that could be a cool name for him. Anywho... crappy "history" lessons aside... I like the idea of this new dude. Very cool! Oh, and of course... very well drawn.
