Often overlooked are many a hero's super cooking powers. Most folks don't even realize that Dr. Strange is also a master of the culinary arts. One of the highlights of Marvel's Memorial Day party is the Chili Cook-off... an epic(urean) battle of good and evil although when it comes to superheroic chili, HOT is always good.  |

Tony Stark was a wealthy industrialist, a brilliant inventor playboy whose cutting edge technology was used to build weapons for the government and the rich profits from those contracts help fuel his lavish party lifestyle.
Of late, Tony had begun to employ nanotechnology into these weapons. These microscopic robots or nanites were being used to build self-repairing weapons in Tony's lab. Tony had announced his breakthrough as the beginning of what would become an indestructable army. The hype generated by the news was remarkable yet not all were happy to hear it. Some viewed this as the rise of unstoppable dictatorships and certain groups plotted Stark's demise.
So it was that a few days before his public demonstration of these new weapons that Tony stopped by his lab for a trial run of the weapons but it was not to be. Someone had managed to plant a bomb in the lab. As Tony picked one of the weapons from the table, there was a massive explosion. It was said no one could have survived a blast of such magnitude however Tony had... at least in a manner of speaking.
Tony had received massively fatal injuries from the blast however the nanites were too small to be blown to bits. None the less, their programming was slightly scrambled from the concussive force. So it was that the nanites, unable to differentiate between Tony and weapon repaired him, turning him into a mix of man, metal and circuitry. Tony soon discovered that the nanites swarming on and through his body allowed him to reshape and animate any metal he touched as though it were an extension of his own body and control any circuitry in a similar manner.
Tony kept his secret from the public, proclaiming this as a new high tech armor suit but the reality was there was no suit, just a man slowly turning into a machine. More troubling still, the nanites at times appeared to have their own agenda. So while Tony plays hero for the public, he worries deeply over what he is becoming and whether there will be anything left of himself by the time the nanite changes are completed.

| Crossovers Gone Wrong: Flaming Carrot meets Axel Pressbutton and Laser Eraser

Flaming Carrot knew he'd made a big mistake. He was out at the lanes with his bowling team, the Mystery Men when some gamesmanship started with the opposing team, the Pin Wizards. Just because Carrot's bowling team were actual masked crimefighters, how was he to know the Pin Wizards were actual wizards?! The wizards did not take Carrot's bowling taunts well and cast a spell that sent him across time and space. Carrot didn't know where he'd ended up. The buildings looked like something from the future. One thing was clear, the angry robot-man chasing him had a major grudge against carrots....
It wasn't just carrots really. Even on his best day, Axel Pressbutton was still a raging psychotic psychopath but plants of all manner and variety are what really send him into a killing frenzy. It wasn't always this way for Axel. Once a mild mannered florist, he took delivery of a plant which happened to have with it a sentient carnivorous fungus which had managed to eat 3 quarters of Axel before he was rescued. However his mind had snapped from the shock and he was particularly embittered toward plants. The doctors who had fixed him up had taken sympathy and designed a button as part of his robot body that would send powerful waves of orgasm type pleasure to his body and mind when pressed as consolation for his loss. It's a bad design though as it's sometimes been used by adversaries to disable him during attacks ...not that Flaming Carrot could ever figure it out in time. He's never been the brightest of superheroes.
Axel's sometimes partner, Mysta Mystrelis AKA Laser Eraser thinks "not again" as she rolls her eyes and sighs while she reaches for her laser rifle. She knows she's going to have to put a couple of holes in those boys to put a stop to this nonsense before somebody gets hurt.
Axel Pressbutton originally created by writer Steve Moore and artist Alan Moore.
Flaming Carrot is an original creation of Bob Burden's.

| Manhunter: Goodwin and Simonson version
pijon DC Comics 2013/10/8 19:51

Gotta be specific, you know. DC has had many characters to go by that name.
Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson's Manhunter had the most humble of status at DC. Never had it's own title, ran as an 8 page backup in one of Batman's several titles (Detective) for 6 episodes before concluding in a full length Batman teamup story.It ran for 7 chapters between '73 and '74 and yet managed to pull in 6 major awards in that time. It certainly fueled my youthful enthusiasm when I'd first read it. Simonson's art was unlike anyone I'd seen doing superheroes at that time, stylish and brilliantly laid out too and Goodwin's script also seemed better than anything DC or Marvel had going at the time.
So to one of my greatest comic inspirations, a tribute I'd wanted to do for a while... the one I'd sworn was impossible to do in 3D but just to prove I'm an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about, I did it anyway! So here he is, facing off against an army of his clones once again.
Stonemason's Village Courtyard
Daz Supersuit
M4 Hardcore Boots
Genesis Journeyer Scout Boots

I can't remember exactly where I found the Mauser pistol... it was a freebie in sketchup format.
Bracers, belts, leg braces, shuriken made in Hexagon.
Shirt sleeves made in Hexagon, converted to dynamic cloth in Poser then exported back to Daz.
*update: Someone elsewhere told me they were loosing the shuriken in the clone shirt shadows so I adjusted it's location and upped the brightness and contrast a little. |

| Spiderman creator Steve Ditko created this gritty hard boiled character back in 67 for Charlton. The character is notable for being considered one of the darkest and most grim of the silver age. The character was later acquired by DC comics where he's managed to show up perennially in a number of places. There was a lengthy run by Denny O'Neil and Dennis Cowans, he's appeared JL and other cartoons too. This character was also the basis for Rorschach from the book and movie "The Watchmen" |

Lars Potomek became known to the world in his early 20's after he was initiated into an elite mystical order at 19. Potomek took to mysticism like a duck to water. He managed to shoot through the order's ranks at unprecedented rate. Never had one so young so quickly risen through the ranks, becoming the youngest to ever wield such mastery over the mystic arts. He soon found himself challenging the very heads of the order, questioning both their motivation and skill. He found himself ejected from the order for such brash accusations but that hardly mattered as he had already mastered all they had to offer and advanced beyond that.
Potomek traveled the world studying all magics, black and white, founding several new orders of his own along the way in his insatiable quest for knowledge and power. His reputation grew both famously and infamously... in some places, he had been considered the holiest of saints and in others, the most depraved of sinners. In fact, Potomek was both... a complex man exploring all sides of himself. Finally, being consumed by his need for control, passion and bravado, he dared perform the most forbidden of rituals. It had never before been achieved, no one having the skills or being crazy enough to dare such a feat. Potomek managed to open a dimensional conduit between Heaven and Hell which passed through our world in the middle, jepordizing 3 worlds. God and Satan had managed to send armies of their fiercest angels and demons to stop all entries and departures from their respective realms but not before many angels and demons had escaped to our earthly plane. Potomek found himself in the remarkably rare position of having both God and Satan furious with him. Potomek ended up achieving what he'd hoped... although not entirely as he'd planned. Both God and Satan had granted him unprecedented powers for a mortal as he had been tasked to track down and return or remove any escaped Angels and Demons. While he now wielded great power, it was far from omnipotence. God and Satan had made a point of giving him barely enough power to defeat these angels and demons as part of his punishment for his misdeed. They also removed all traces of his identity and existence and dubbed him the Last Prophet, for never again would a mortal be allowed to be so bold. Should he fail in his tasks, he would suffer the eternal wrath of both God and Satan. It was a tricky enough task without being under the thumb of two opposing and contradictory all powerful bosses.
Now this witchbitch, Bandwidth had shown up attempting to exploit the conduit for her own evil purposes . He knew she must be stopped at any cost. |

Doc Carter is back and this time...
... he left the kids at home!
Micro Ventures ran briefly as an animated segment on the Hanna-Barbara Banana Splits show. The 4 minute segments were about Professor Carter and his teenaged kids Mike and Jill who used a shrink ray to shrink themselves and their dune buggy to get a bug sized view of the world. The threats tended to be distant ones as the Prof lectured his kids on bug life to downplay how the Professor would transform the safety of the yard for his kids into an alien jungle looming with the threat of fatal encounters with any of the thousands of giant insect monsters out there. It could not compete with the thrills and action of the show's other segments, Arabian Knights and 3 Musketeers and lasted only 4 short episodes. Great potential never realized. I think with a little refomatting to up the thrill factor, it might have enjoyed great success.
*update: mixed in a little rendered motion blur. |

Based on an old song by the band Rush:
"Tobes of Hades, lit by flickering torchlight
The netherworld is gathered in the glare
Prince By-Tor takes the cavern to the north light
The sign of Eth is rising in the air
By-Tor, knight of darkness
Centurion of evil, devil's prince
Across the River Styx, out of the lamplight
His nemesis is waiting at the gate
The Snow Dog, ermine glowing in the damp night
Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate
By-Tor and the Snow Dog
Square for battle, let the fray begin
The battle's over and the dust is clearing
Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell
Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing
By-Tor, in defeat, retreats to Hell
Snow Dog is victorious
The land of the Overworld is saved again"
Daz Genesis and Millenium Dog are the models used in this dance. Journeyer Scout pants and shirt for By-Tor. His medallion is from M4 Evilson. Genesis Bracers also used. Torch, dagger, crown and cape I made in Hexagon. Background made in Bryce, characters rendered in DS4. Gate from Stonemason's Graveyard set. Garibaldi Hair Plug-In for D/S also used. |

| Deathlok the Demolisher

I always thought Deathlok a remarkably cool and original character for Marvel. It was a great mix of some of the best elements of Terminator and Robo-Cop and if that doesn't sound so original now, bear in mind that this was before either of those 80's flicks. This dead soldier from the near-future turned cyborg assassin gone rogue fighting against evil corporate and military regimes that had taken over our government (published in '77, ironically set in 1990). A really great premise doomed to fail as it originally exisited outside the normal Marvel universe and once Marvel attempted to bring the character into it's standardized superhero universe, it weakened character and theme IMO. Still, an interesting enough character that he has been periodically been reincarnated over the decades on a semi-regular basis. It's good to see Deathlok finally getting a bit of what's due now as the Agents of Shields TV series introduced a version of the character this past season. This version is based on the original Luther Manning Deathlok.
All Daz Gen 3 models here: David in his ultrasuit and three Michaels three all with Uzilite's MOS Invasion gear. Digivault's Destroyed City set also used. |

No, NOT THAT Daredevil...
the ORIGINAL Daredevil, a very popular character from the 40's, from Lev Gleason Publications. It has often been suggested that this wise cracking acrobat hero was very much the prototype not only for Marvel's early Daredevil but Spiderman as well. Not that it matters much because this Daredevil (Bart Hill) is free! That's right, this great hero and villain are public domain so anyone is free to use them in their own works, a factor which has kept this guy alive and well, used by different publishers. Bart Hill (Daredevil) had been raised in Australian Outback by Aborigines and used his combat and acrobatic skills to fight crime. He also employed his own metal boomerangs as weapons of choice.
The villain, the Claw had been around since '39, originally the enemy of the Silver Streak (a superspeed type character), the book's title hero. Daredevil was a back up feature however starting with Daredevil's second appearance, Plastic Man creator Jack Cole would do a 5 issue run pitting DD against the Claw in an epic battle that would cement Daredevil's continued success. Still, the character is generally more closely associated with writer/artist Charles Biro and his terrific and successful 16 year run on the book! |

I must admit, I had my worries during this year's Halloween Teamups. When I was informed at the 11th hour by my partner (who still hadn't started yet) that he would be doing less than we'd initially discussed, I had some concerns. I was preparing for the worst, figuring if my partner can't pull through then I will hoist him over my shoulder and carry his drunk ass across the finish line.  As it turns out, my worry was unnecessary as Jr. pulled through right at the last minute, churning out yet another one of his brilliant and meticulously detailed costumes.
So anyway, this was my version of the Halloween pic though I still have to thank Jr. for the terrific model choice for Wonder Woman's superboots and especially for showing me the correct foot pose settings for putting a man in high heels! I don't know how you knew that (I thought I knew posing!) but it is a great detail; that it is correct and looks so wrong is still one of the funniest parts of the pic to me! Thanks Jr! |

Prez was a real clunker of a comic. Potentially a great idea, it really missed the mark and only lasted 4 issues back in 73-74 in spite of comic legends Joe Simon and Jerry Grandenetti working on the book. Still the character has shown up periodically... in Neil Gaiman's Sandman, in a Vertigo One-Shot, (grown up) in Frank Miller's Dark Knight Strike Again and in the Brave and the Bold animated TV show. |

| The Hawk and the Dove were a couple of obscure Steve Ditko characters for DC that never really caught on. They actually got more viewings from their single appearance in the animated Justice League TV show than from their entire run in comics. Anyway, one was supposed to be aggressive and violent the other peaceful, looking for smart solutions. They never seemed to make it work in the comics but I think if someone like Venture Bros Hank and Dean had replaced Hank and Don, might've been a hit. |
