I know! I know! I'm no colorist. But, when I saw this scan of art by the great Kevin Maguire, I couldn't help myself.
...And then I realized that the difference between five-year old me and current me is that my crayon box is more advanced now!  |

Okay. Let's clear this up: Blue Beetle is NOT A DIRECT INSPIRATION for Nite-Owl. So, just because Nite-Owl has... shall we say... intamacy issues, doesn't mean Beetle does, too!
GOT IT?
P.S. How do you like the new Phantom Lady character? |

Recreating a comic cover, even one without a background, is never easy to do. The fact that there are seven characters in the picture doesn't make it easier.
But, all in all, I think it came out well. What do you think? |

Booster Gold accompanied by his twin sister Michelle a.k.a. Goldstar and his ever faithful robotic companion Skeets patrols the time stream looking for trouble.
Updated Booster's new look. Created Goldstar. And downloaded the Time Sphere and Skeets.
P.S. Skeets is Dave Chappelle's favorite comicbook character. SKEETS! SKEETS! SKEETS! |

Not just Blue Beetle in his uniform from I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League. No, no. This is the evil Mirror Universe Blue Beetle.
If you read the story, the "Super Buddies" wind up on an alternate Earth after leaving Hell (Don't ask!). This Earth had evil dopplegangers of some of the heroes (including a dominatrix Mary Marvel! Hotcha!). At one point Mirror Sue Dibny asked Mirror Max Lord why our Beetle was "wearing Teddy's costume". So, although we never got to see the Mirror Blue Beetle, we know he exists, he wears the black costume, and he doesn't look like our Ted Kord.
So how could I make him look different?
See the van dyke? That's a dead giveaway he's EVIL! (basic STAR TREK 101) |

I'm pushing it with that last one)! Steve Ditko's greatest creation! Yeah, that's right, Spidey! DITKO'S GREATEST CREATION! |

An altenate dimension's BLUE BEETLE, the BLACK BEETLE is bad-ass. How bad-ass? He lets his cohorts call him "Teddy"! THAT'S BAD-ASS! I once described him by saying, "He's smarter than you. You know he's smarter than you. And he knows he's smarter than you!" Now, his favorite stripper/prostitute is hotter than yours!
TIFFANY, that dimension's version of ICE is accompanying him.
These characters are "Version 2"s of characters that I have done earlier. |

Charlton Comics had a lot of "Action Heroes", but, these three are the best known: Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, and the Question. In 1984, DC Comics bought most of Charlton's characters and incorporated them into their line after "Crisis on Infinite Earths".
Sad to realize that all three of these characters are now considered "dead" by DC.  |

Booster Gold's a hound. There's no way around that. Booster can't help himself. He's gotto check out every woman that's around.
...Even if it's his newly "feminized" best bud!

Guy Gardner was not blessed with a quick wit. "Oh, yeah?" and "Bite me!" were his two favorite retorts. So, it should come as no great surprise that Guy and Blue Beetle didn't get along. Guy often found himself on the losing end of a battle of wits.
However, things changed when Beetle went through his little metamorphosis. Frustrated and upset with the situation, Beetle lost his panache for comebacks. And Guy, in particular, was able to "push Beetle's buttons"! |

Here's a little experiment I ran. I used all the same facial morphs at the same levels as my Blue Beetle character... except that I used them on Victoria 3 instead of Michael 3. Who knew that Beetle would've been a cute girl?
Of course Booster gets the blame for it!
You can just hear Booster's appraisal of Beetle's new female form: "Well, your breasts could be bigger, your thighs are a bit thick, and you've got junk in your trunk, ...BUT, all in all, I'd still DO YOU!"
EDIT: I added a title to this series to make them esier to find and seperate them from my other series. |

Meet Ted Kord (or as Suzie Dibny calls him, "Teddy"). He's smarter than you are. You know he's smarter. He knows he's smarter. And he's not afraid to tell you that he's smarter.
Mr. Kord made his fortune in arms manufacturing. The "genius bomb"? His. Electrically-charged plasma bullets? His. Genetic tracer missiles? You get the idea!
When "legitimate" (although highly unethical) avenues of commerce no longer stoked his fire, he turned to the highly lucrative field of super-villiany. Armed with a vast array of highly illegal technology and his airtank, the "Scarab", Ted Kord became the Black Beetle!
Not long after, the Black Beetle formed a loose association with the Power Posse. An association he recently took to the next level when he shot then team leader Max Lord in the head, thus, becoming the Power Posse's new leader.
Here we see Beetle posing with two of his favorite teammates/strippers: Tiffany and Suzie. |

Every superhero has a weakness. Superman and kryptonite. Martian Manhunter and fire. Batman and humility.
Blue Beetle's weakness? His tragic flaw? BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!
With this in mind, two members of Team One try to... ahem... persuade Blue Beetle into forming an alliance. Will Blue Beetle stay true to Team Two? Will he sell out? Will he become a midnight snack for Vampirella? Will Wonder Woman call him "Teddy Bear"? |

The SMACKDOWN audience was shocked to discover that Blue Beetle was the man under the Winterhawk mask with the desceased Woman.
But, lo and behold, NEW EVIDENCE shows that it was indeed Winterhawk under the Winterhawk mask! (Who knew he bore such a close resemblence to Andy Dick?!)
The lovely Lady Heromorph updates the audience with the new footage! |
