Prowl-Ar's Customs: Last and Galactic Avengers


Recommended Posts

I'm putting up two customs this time due to the fact that one of them is an old custom with a new updated bio.

Codename: Indy

File Name: Doctor Anna Jones

Classification: Human

Powers: None

Artifacts: Hollywood Revolver, Whip of the Dominatrix, and Bag of Withholding

Records of Dr. Jones' exploits go back before the First World War. She has met many of the most famous people of the twentieth century and includes such individuals as the Red Baroness, Lauren of Arabia, and Hemingway. During World War II her exploits became a bit less publicized however she is credited with spoiling multiple plots involving Hitler's Thule Society. It is even rumored that she once met Hitler while undercover in Berlin. She has extensive training in combat strategy, weaponry, espionage, and is perhaps the greatest talent with a bull whip the world has or perhaps will ever see.

It is not surprising that she has become entangled with the Gatherers considering the fact that she has had encounters with such artifacts as The Arc of the Covenants and the Holy Grail. The latter of which has gifted her with an extremely long life. Since joining the group she has started using three powerful artifacts: The Hollywood Revolver looks like an ordinary revolver except that once loaded it never runs out of bullets, The Whip of the Dominatrix is a regular bull whip unless it is used on an individual that has physically abused another then it transforms into barbed wire flaying the flesh of the abuser, and finally the Bag of Withholding, a seemingly normal messenger bag that is linked to "The Treasure Realm" and allows the user to pull whatever is most needed from its depths.

Codename: Minotaur

File Name: Professor Brent Taylor

Classification: Minotaur

Powers: Super strength and stamina

Artifacts: Axe of the Minotaur and the Shield of Sparta

Professor Taylor was a renowned archaeologist working in Crete on the fabled ruins of the labyrinth when he unearthed the Axe of the Minotaur. The artifact immediately transformed him into a bull headed monster. Fortunately Prof. Taylor was able to remain in control of his bestial side until the Gatherers arrived. Prof. Wells, claiming to have worked with a group of artifact wielding Taylor's from an alternate universe, immediately offered Brent a position with the team as a specialist in Ancient Mediterranean Artifacts. However most of the time Brent ends up acting as the team's primary brawler due to his unique transformation. Since joining he has located, and started using, The Shield of Sparta which allows the wielder to hold back any number of foes so long as everyone in his group has faith in the shields power.

And as an extra bonus when a minotaur goes around wearing a gold speedo he tends to over compensate in other areas.

AWESOME MINOTAUR!

I’d been thinking of getting that minotaur to do something similar but was afraid the head wasn’t the right size... does the peg require any modifications or does it just plug right in?

As long as the Lego head/mask looks rather large on a Lego minifig then I've found that it is looks alright on a minimate body. That's one of the reason's I can't wait for the release of the Lego Monster Fighter's Werewolf minifig.

Anyway, I've never had to modify the minimate neck pegs. Instead I've focused on shaving or sanding down the inside of the Lego heads where the modifications can't be seen and so that I can slide it onto any minimate body incase I decide it doesn't look right on the body I started with. With the minotaur I started out using a black Halo body but once I finished I switched to the Wolfsbane when I found that the mask was able to cover up enough of the upper block to give him a fur pattern without appearing female.

The modification areas on the Minotaur mask was mostly on the back piece and at the shoulders. In this case most of the work was in order to get the mask to slide down over the thicker minimate body. If you look closely at the front view you can see where I got it a bit too thin and ended up cracking it. If I worked slower or had any experience with a dremel it probably would have worked out better (my tools consist of a set of sprew nippers and an exacto knife). Also I had to snip out a bit of the plastic in the peg hole since it didn't line up real well with the neck peg and tended to pop up on its own before the hole was enlarged.

Codename: Merc

Real Name: Allan Lancing

Classification: Human

Powers: Highly trained in all forms of combat and weaponry

Artifacts: Armor of the Fallen Warrior and Masamune

Allan has been with the team almost since the beginning. He was forced to join by his government supposedly as a bodyguard for Prof. Wells. However his true mission was to catalog and retrieve artifacts for military use. Unfortunately on his first mission, when Prof. Wells wasn't able to identify the mystical properties of a set of body armor, Merc brazenly donned the armor himself. He discovered that its previous owner had blessed the armor so that it gave complete invulnerability to the one wearing it. Unfortunately, as it turned out, the only one that could remove the armor was one who loved the wearer above all others. Merc, having never had a relationship that lasted for more than a couple of hours found himself trapped. Now with no recourse he continues to work with Prof. Wells hoping to find another artifact that will free him. In that quest he has added the sword Masamune to his arsenal. The fabled sword is so sharp that it can cut light rendering the user invisible however it is still not sharp enough to cut through the Armor of the Fallen Warrior.

I've finished another of my Neo Olympian characters.

Codename: Apollo

File Name: Taylor, Dane

Day/Night Job: Chief Security Officer at a solar power research company

Powers: Solar Energy Manipulation

Dane and Diana (Artemis) are Colonel Taylor's twin children. Dane inherited the solar manipulation powers of the God Apollo and is able to channel nearly any form of light through is golden armor. Unlike most of the other Taylors, he isn't happy having to shoulder the responsibilities of a God. He believes, and possibly rightly so, that the Olympian Aliens have an ulterior motive in gifting the family with their powers. However he is loyal to the family and as long as they need him he will be there to help them.

Codename: Tamer

Filename: William McDaniels

Classification: Human

Powers: None

Artifacts: Ten Rings of the Dragons and Trench Coat of the Hero

Tamer started out as a Hollywood stunt man that inadvertently came into contact with an artifact. In his case it was the Trench coat of the Hero, a white leather trench that in impervious to dirt and grime. It also has the effect of making people believe everything the one wearing it says is the absolute truth. However if the bearer does anything dishonest it begins to change color first to red and then to black and makes everyone distrust the bearer until he has made amends and redeemed himself at which point it returns to it's pristine condition. Also once it has bonded to the bearer it cannot be taken from him or even discarded until he dies and its effects remain even if he isn't wearing it.

After realizing that mystical objects existed McDaniels quit his job and spent all his time searching for other such artifacts. Eventually this led him to China and to his other artifacts the Ten Dragon Rings also known as the Rings of the Mandarin. Each ring gives him a different power as well as the ability to summon dragons. He can summon up to two mini-dragons, one per hand, or one small dragon. It is possible that with time and experience he may someday be able to summon large and even colossal dragons.

It was shortly after he found the ten rings that he was found by the Gatherers. Seeing that their quests were similar he joined the group, with the urging of one of his summoned dragons. While there is no evidence of the connection it has been hinted that the dragons that he summons are, in reality, the true inhabitants of "The Treasure Realm".

Codename: Knight

File Name: Duncan Graham

Classification: Human

Powers: Extreme mental discipline

Artifacts: Demon Sword and Blessed Armor

Being the head of a multinational business made Graham was a very wealth man. Having expensive tastes for exotic art and weaponry landed him a spot with the Gatherers. Graham had thought the blade he'd bought would make an excellent addition to his fantasy collection, since it obviously wasn't a real blade, so after swinging it a few times he added it to his collection and didn't think anymore about it. That is until several days later after an altercation with his ex-wife where he seemed to have blacked out for several hours. Later he learned that she had been brutally murdered. She had been repeatedly stabbed and then inhumanly strong hands had mangled her body. He felt sick, sure their relationship hadn't ended on the best of terms but he had never hated her enough to want her dead. As he stared into his mirror another faced stared back at him, a demonic face, the face of the demon that inhabited the sword and had possessed his body. The demon was mocking him, trying to make him loose control and allow it free reign once again.

It was at this point the Gatherers arrived. Prof. Wells took the sword but once that only caused the demon to burst forth stronger than ever. It took the combined efforts of the Gatherers to contain the creature until it reverted back to Graham four hours later. Since that day Graham has invested all his spare time and money into two pursuits the first is in training his mind so that he can maintain control over the demon and the second is into assembling a set of Blessed Armor that will, when completed, force the demon back into the sword so that it can be safely stored in the Treasure Realm.

dk04.jpg

Codename: Demon

File Name: Unpronounceable

Classification: Demon

Powers: Super Strength and invulnerability to all human artifacts and most holy artifacts

Artifacts: Demon forged armor

When Duncan Graham wielded the Demon Sword he opened the door for Demon to take possession of his body. When released he has an unquenchable thirst for violence. He wears armor forged from the souls of the worst of humanities evils that gives him immunity to most holy artifacts. Fortunately he can only manifest himself for short periods of time however this time increases each time he breaks free. His goal is to force Graham into freeing him enough times that he will be able to take full control of the body and then transform the world into his own hellish paradise.

Codename: Empty

File Name: Miles Thorton (M.T.) Toone

Classification: Vampire

Powers: Enhanced strength, speed, and healing with limited perception alteration

Artifacts: Cloak of Vlad the Impaler

While on a college trip with friends M.T. was dared to don Dracula's Cloak. As he pulled it over his shoulders he was instantly transformed. Everyone thought it was a joke at first since M.T. was well known for his practical jokes. Unfortunately this time was no joke but M.T. was lucky enough to be able to control his thirst for human blood except on the nights of the New Moon. While searching for a cure to his condition M.T. had a run in with the Gatherers and after the cliché fight joined the group.

M.T. has all of the strengths and none of the vampiric weaknesses this includes the ability to travel in daylight and the inability to pass on the curse to others due to the fact that he isn't a true Vampire. Also, as long as he feeds once a month, he is able to control his thirst. He also has a mystic connection that leads him to any vampiric artifacts within a hundred mile radius. This sense is connected to the cloak itself trying to use other items to complete M.T.'s transformation.

youve inspired me to do my own characters as mates :D

I'm sorry, really I am. You've now taken the first steps down a dark and forbidding path that leads to looking at wave releases, no matter how many Caps, Iron Men, or Thors they contain, in terms of "that's a new belt", "That torso would make a good character with this cape and that head", and "Do I really want to paint this or wait for another wave that will have a character with the color I need?". As an example my first thought on seeing the Walking Dead mates was I've got to get an extra Rick so that I can give that revolver to Indy. :sweat:

Next thing you know you're going to find yourself, not troop building but, part building. How many Caps should I get so that I'll have extra jackets for later characters. Perhaps worst of all is the compulsion to make sure you clear the LCS pegs as soon as possible so that they continue to order in new waves, even if it is another Thor/Lady Loki that somehow got lost in the back and just now got put out on the shelf. :whistling:

So again I apologize for this terrible, terrible inspiration I've inadvertently given you. :)

Those are really cool!

Thanks.

Now for the last of the Gatherers, at least for now.

Codename: Deadbot

Filename: None

Classification: Nimrod Class Sentinel Artifact

Powers: Enhanced tracking unit modified to locate mystical objects and people

Artifacts: Otaku Nightmare armor and weapons

It is uncertain why or how anyone would rebuild and reprogram a Nimrod Sentinel with the mercenary Deadpool's personality and the objective of hunting magic rather than mutants. Nor is it clear what the reasoning his unique armor and weapons. While Deadbot is powered down the Otaku Nightmare seems to be the standard cosplay fare consisting of polystyrene, papier-mâché, and prop replica weapons. However once Deadbot is online they are transformed into metals as indestructible as adamantium and vibranium.

great use of parts! I used the MVC Deadpool and Dante to make a Vash the Stampede from the anime Trigun. Don't really have the right hair for him yet though.

Thanks.

I never got into Trigun but I can see how that would work. As for hair, if painting isn't a problem, then I'd go with either Series 3 Ultimate Cyclops or New Mutants Wolvesbane with the pony tail clipped off. The only other option that might work would be the wave 17 Eddie Brock since that is just about the right color.

With all the buzz about Street Fighter I decided to at least familiarize myself with the looks of the characters. As I was going through character pictures Joe jumped out and screamed easy quick custom. I still don't know much about the games since at the time I was a die hard role playing gamer and the only fighting games that I ever bothered with was the Bloody Roar series.

Joe QC

Cap Hair and belt

Agent Coulson head

Modern Mandarin body

Also a WIP picture of my next project The Warriors X.

Loki, having failed in his schemes when The Avengers formed turned his sights to creating his own super human team to use against Thor and the Avengers. A quick search of Midgard showed him that mutants, the next evolutionary step of mankind, would make the best recruits considering their status as outcasts. To this end he intended to transport the group known as the Brotherhood of evil Mutants to Asgard to enhance their considerable powers with the magic/technology of the Gods. As the transportation spell was taking effect Magneto sensed the danger and was able to save all but Pyro and the X-Men from being whisked away. Unfortunately, for Loki, the spell was broken and the mutants were scattered across the realms. In their quest to find each other and return to Earth the individuals had to adapt to their new situations.

Marvel Girl joins the Valkyries.

Beast finds himself in in the realm of the dwarfs and infected by a sickness that is slowly mutating him into a rock troll.

Angel ends up merged with Odin's raven Hunin.

Cyclops is discovered by the Warriors Three and becomes their hero trainee.

Ice Man finds himself in the realm of the Frost Giants.

Pyro is engulfed and transformed by the flames of Surture.

Yeah, there are errors there but they'll be all worked out by the time I write up the final bio/adventure files for each character.

WarriorsX.jpg

A few changes that are already planned are that Jean will get a skirt from Skaadi in the Worthy Set

I'm hoping that there'll be a set of black wings with a Jin/Devil Jin in the SFxT line otherwise I'll have to paint Angel's wings. At some point Scott will get gold gauntlets and I'm not still not happy with Beast and I may switch out the Thing parts for the Grey Gargoyle (Worthy) or the new Rhino. I'm also not sure about the chest armor on Pyro and may rework that as well. Over all the only one that is completed and I'm happy with is Lord Drake of the Frost Giants.

As a fan of none-SF2 characters I like this. Might have to raid my parts box to see if I can make one myself. Apparently he was going to be in the Alpha games but got replaced with Cody. Otherwise Joe has never been a playable character. He was one of the two fighters to represent America and if I remember right, was a generic kickboxer.

Have you thought about trying to make some of the others like Retsu and Eagle?

@pawcanada, yeah I considered doing Eagle but after going through my parts box I just didn't have the parts to do him justice. Mainly a head with the handlebar mustache and a white shirt with bow tie.

The QC wouldnt be that hard with an extra Wolverine/Patch with the jacket removed and white feet.

Use the new JJJ arms with rolled up sleeves and Daredevil's sticks. Wolfsbane's red hair with the pony tail snipped off would just about complete the custom. I know I've seen a head that would work for the custom but without searching the database or my collection I can't remember which one it is.

@jcastick, hint all you want but until the right parts come along I doubt I'll be doing any other SF characters. As for the "inspiration", well, how did you know what I was already using as a basic guide to the characters? ;)

As for the game, I think my first experience was with it was Super Street Fighter, or whichever one was first released on the SNES. Though when MvC3 was announced I was surprised to find that I had Street Fighter on the Capcom Classics compilation for the PSP.

Name: Rachel-Christine (RC) Fairchild

Codename: Fatalis

Beast Classification: Human genetically re-engineered into Sabertooth Cat

Planet of Origin: Earth

Primary Specialty: Infiltration

Secondary Specialty: Small Arms and Hand-to-Hand Combat

There are certain qualities required to be a member of the U.S. Special Forces. RC, the only child of a long line of distinguished military men, worked very hard to live up to and exceed those qualities. However all of her hard work was nearly ruined when her name came up in a select group of individuals chosen for a Black Ops mission. As the orders came down the "volunteers" were immediately secured and escorted directly to a secret location for their briefing. Unfortunately RC was the only one that had been on leave. Worse yet she had been cos-playing at Botcon and so, not only was she the only female at the meeting she was also the least dressed. Wearing a white bathing suit under pink armor while everyone else was in fatigues got her noticed but probably not in the best light considering the company. About the only thing that didn't go wrong at the briefing was the fact that when the topic of being genetically modified to look like an anthropomorphic animal for the rest of their likely short lives in order to infiltrate an invading alien army RC was the only one that didn't laugh. In fact, she wanted to know how long it would take for the transformation to be complete so that she could get to work.

Even the transformation didn't go exactly as planned. She was supposed to be transformed into an easily controllable herbivorous species; instead she ended up becoming a sabertooth cat. The former scientists involved noted that the results may have been related to their limited understanding of the alien equipment they were using but it was more likely that the species choice had more to do with the subjects own personal choice. Later research proved that RC considered herself a member of the Furry subculture and that she most often represented herself as a sabertooth.

Once the transformation was complete she was once again outfitted in pink armor. While the official reason for this is that it would make her stand out on the battlefield so that our troops could easily avoid targeting her. It should also be noted that it made it easier to target her. For the first part of her mission she was to be captured by a Battle Beast Bounty Hunter and then transferred to a contact within the Beast's hierarchy in order to learn of the alien's plans for Earth. While she has been performing beyond everyone's expectations some individuals feel that she may be going native and that her usefulness may be coming to an end.

I have a few new customs to add from my other lines so first up from the Gender Reverse Universe X-Patriots:

Blood Debt (Baroness Helen Zemo)

Country of Origin: Germany

Powers: Scientific Genius, Master Swordswoman and hand-to-hand Fighter, skilled strategist, immortal body, superhuman strength, speed, and agility

It was no surprise that the German government stood against the plans of the X.S.E. They felt that our goals shared to many commonalities with their own dark history. What did surprise us was the hero/heroine they chose to represent them in the X-Patriots.

We expected the Zemo's out of all European super beings to stand with us. However, when she refused it wasn't surprising since it was within her character to stand back and let us fight it out and then sweep in and take everything for herself at the end. We would have been fine with this however she actually stood against the X.S.E. and tried to inform the United Nations when the assault on Latveria began. Of course we couldn't let that kind of action go unpunished so we had her silenced. A mistake on our part it would seem. Baroness Zemo died however all of the victims of the Zemo bloodline throughout time resurrected her in a new male Zemo body, transported from an alternate reality, with the mandate that she can never rest until she has paid her family's debt to the dead.

Blood Debt has only one known weakness while in the heat of battle the male Zemo can regain control of his body. When this happens the body no longer has the super human abilities or immortality provided by their victims. This is the moment to strike, but it should be noted that even without powers the Zemo's in all realities are highly trained warriors and not to be underestimated. While this strategy may win battles it is only a temporary solution because Blood Debt will eventually return.
