Oh no! Not another case of "mistaken identity"! Smackdown hasn't even started yet!
Leave it to Lady Heromorph to state the obvious. 
Edit: Cropped out the white. |

After meeting the competitors (...and being fondled by one!) of the SUPERHERO SMACKDOWN, Ice is transported from the "Whiteroom" to "Smackdown Valley". What lies in store for her there?
Well, one thing for certain is that she meets one of the HEROMORPH PANTHEON... AND it's all HIS FAULT!  |

| Kneel Before ZOD!
blubeetle3 DC Comics 2006/12/31 10:06

"Why do you say these things to me when you know I will kill you for it?!"
My take on General Zod. I retained the black patent leather boots and trim from the movie version. Added the red verticle design and deep blacks from the John Byrne reboot version from the comicbooks.
Zod's face, of course, is inspired by Terrence Stamp's great performance in Superman II. However, as I look at it, a little touch of Anthony Ainley's Master from Doctor Who seems to have crept in.
Also, I changed Zod's Kryptonian symbol into one inspired by Superman's from Kingdom Come. The hair I had to change by making a new transparency map for Jason Hair.
"Son of Jor-El... KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!" |

After finding directions to the next finishline in the VW Beetle provided for him by Lady Heromorph, the Black Beetle reaches it in record time... FAT LOT OF GOOD IT DOES HIM!
LH has some bad news, and Beetle gets to know Lady Heromorph better (much to his dismay!). |

| The Evil Mirror Universe BLUE BEETLE
blubeetle3 DC Comics 2006/12/29 20:10
2648 6
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) |

| "Kaji Dha!"

Archeologist Dan Garrett found an azure scarab in a tomb under a pyramid. The scarab showed Dan Garrett a vision, in which it told him to "say the words". When Garrett said "Kaji Dha", he transformed into the BLUE BEETLE.
With enhanced strength, near-invulnerability, flight, and the the ability to shot a lightening-like energy from his eyes and hands, he fought the fight for law and justice.
Decided to go "old-school" again. Only this time with Blue Beetle! All Poser, no filler. |

To paraphrase Lord Byron, she's "...mad, bad, and dangerous to know." A bb3 original, MEGNASITA is an evil alien sorceress. That's all you need to know.
Playing with a few new things here: lighting, focal distance, etc. Not the biggest picture I've done, but, I liked the way it came out. Dress by Flesh Forge (available as a freebie at HEROMORPH DOWNLOADS!). |

"When you need a job done that you can't do yourself, you call in a professional. That's me."
Some characters start out as bad-ass and lose it over time. Other characters become bad-ass later on in life. Deathstroke started off bad-ass, still is bad-ass, and always will be bad-ass! |

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! |

After the second round, LADY HEROMORPH transports all the contestants to underground tunnels via a dimensional portal. But, before she does, she outlines somethings for the contestants:
"The object of the next round is to find the RED CRYSTAL! But, before you do, you have to find someone you know. YOU have to find them. They can't find you... mostly because after we snatched them we stuck them in a cell somewhere. Once you find them... and FREE them... they become your partner for the rest of the game!"
Will ICE find the person she knows? Well... yeah. |

| The Big Three - CHARLTON STYLE!
blubeetle3 DC Comics 2008/6/14 15:47
2483 5
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.  |

J'Onn J'Onzz: Martian Manhunter. Heart and soul of the Justice League. A member of every incarnation from the beginning to the present day.
Looking through my gallery, I saw that I never posted a non-group pic of Old Greenie. So, I dusted him off, add the nifty background from the "Olympus Mons" set, and viola! |

As some of you may know, I prefer Michael3 to Michael4 for my superheroes. However, M4 does offer better facial morphs, which is a plus for some characters... Guy Gardner being one.
This Gardner uses many of the same items as his M3 brother: RDNA Aztec Hair, Vadlor's Guy Vest, EZTop collar, etc. |

Poor Ice just can't catch a break!

This little muppet-looking dude should be safe. Right? |

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! |

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. |
