Voltagoblin

The Voltagoblin is the last of his kind. For most of his existence, the Voltagoblin lived in a pocket dimension contained in a candle. The candle was owned by a mystic, who would enter the dimension and live like a king. That was not enough for the mystic, though, so outside of the pocket dimension, he was a magic-using criminal. That attracted the attention of superheroes like the Beam, who shut down the mystic’s operation.

The denizens of the pocket dimension, without their ruler, tasted freedom, but the mystical maintenance of their realm suffered. Faced with the apocalypse of their fantasy world, Voltagoblin and several of this fellows formed a sort of roving band of warriors and ruled over the ruins. There were other bands, of course, and fighting followed. Ultimately, the electric-powered Voltagoblin discovered the portal the lost mystic used to get to Earth. “Screw everybody else” was his line of thought as he passed through the portal and closed it behind him. Once he realized what was the deal was, he snuffed out the candle’s flame.

Sorcerer In A Tiny Car

Vroom. Vroom. Abracavroom.

With mystical control of the four elements and of his four wheels, this mysterious driver races into towns and attacks armored vehicles, stealing what he can, then races out of towns, never stopping for a second. Even when opposed by the police, or the Guild of Crime Fighters, the Sorcerer in a Tiny Car never slows down. He’s never even stopped long enough for anyone to learn his name. So far, though the good guys have sometimes prevented his thefts, none have ever managed to catch him.

If I’m using this year to create the kind of villains I want to see in superhero comics, this guy is one. Supeheroes and Tiny Cars need to be united, dammit.

Rock Boy

The mysterious Rock Boy, it seems, was animated by a cosmic-powered being to protect a doomsday weapon on the strange island of Pitchachua. Rock Boy stood guard in an underground temple awaiting the return of the Cosmic King. But then Karl Franklin came along and ruined everything. Franklin defeated Rock Boy and destroyed the doomsday device and the temple. But Rock Boy was still alive and now had no purpose.

This powerful being with stone skin and a powerful sword has the intelligence level of a young child, so it should not be surprising that he tends to be an uncontrollable menace.

Pitchachua was an island, referred to as “The Pit”, that was the setting to some ideas I had in my junior high days. I don’t remember much beyond the name, unfortunately, but I thought this might be a good place to stick that name.

Invay Dor

Crashing to Earth like a meteorite, the entity who calls itself Invay Dor (a corruption of the word “Invader”) seems intent on conquering the planet itself. With legs powerful enough to kick through steel and a claw that could cut through a human skull with ease, Invay Dor is capable of doing some serious damage and it was only the intervention of the Strange Squad that saved the small town where it tried to set up its base of operation.

This was just me making a conscious attempt to get an alien that looks inhumanoid. That is all I have to say.

Some lacklustre attempts at coloring this time, but I have downloaded a new program that shall hopefully make it possible for me to do good coloring jobs in the future. We’ll be seeing more color in the future.

Okay, I have to admit, I’ve felt stretched a little thin lately. With both school and work, I’ve had to cut a few things to get by (one of those things being Secret Government Robots). I’ve been generally unhappy, and I expect my school work has also suffered from this (I did not manage to fully read even one of the assigned books in this semester). But now I feel better, because classes are over with after Monday. I’ll go from Zero days off a week to Three days off a week. That’s quite nice.

I did a new SecGov yesterday and hopefully I’ll be able to get back to two a week again now.
