Captain Paco

No worries. I made one for my collection. I used the tall and I am happy with him that way he is not completely like yours.

So I am working to get images of my newest custom MiniMates Characters. I took inspiration from images I found online. The main inspirations came from some name Luciano Vecchio. I wanted to give credit where credit is due. Without his inspiration, I would never had created the universe of characters I have created for Earth 999602. I will take pictures later in this week or next and then start posting. I am working on the backstories for at least the primary heroes and maybe a few of the villains. So stay tuned...

So thanks for the education about the characters of Jet Black Zola and Baron Blood. I didn’t know of them until the information was provided above. I am always up to learn of superheroes that I had not known about. That is why I really like this community.

Good luck. All the entries are amazing.

I love your Jet "Black" Zola. I like how simple it is with just mostly unaltered parts. I am not sure I would risk painting such a part as Angela's hairpiece for I don't have the patience for the detail it would require of me. I like how you had Zola have somehow being a family man even if it is for sinister motives. However, I like your talent in your customs and look forward to seeing your future additions to your world. The Baron Blood is a nice concept for your purpose. However, I have also created a character named Baron Blood, who is a villain in my Convergent World saga. I hope that you know I did not steal the name from you and I know you did not steal the name from me as I have not shared it yet. My character is an amalgamated character of Baron Zemo and Bloodsport. But I love the two characters you made and may try to make variants for another saga if I have the means to make more customized universes.

I want to start my next saga. The Convergent World AKA: Earth 999602 “The Convergence Fracture” Before there was Earth‑999602, there were two multiverses: The DC Multiverse & The Marvel Multiverse. Each infinite. Each stable. Each unaware of the other. But at the edge of all realities, beyond the Source Wall and outside the bounds of Eternity, there existed a cosmic fault line — a place where the vibrations of two multiverses brushed against each other like tectonic plates. For eons, it was harmless. Until it wasn’t. A simultaneous catastrophe occurred in both parent universes. In the DC Multiverse, a Crisis‑level antimatter surge erupted from the Bleed. In the Marvel Multiverse, a Reality‑Storm triggered by a collapsing Incursion tore through the fabric of space‑time. These two disasters struck the cosmic fault line at the exact same moment. The result was not destruction. It was fusion. A cosmic implosion. A multiversal collision. A rewriting of existence. This moment became known as: The Convergence Fracture. The Convergence Fracture did not merge the universes like Earth‑9602. It did something far stranger. It fused concepts, not histories. It fused destinies, not timelines. It fused souls, not bodies. Where two beings shared: A thematic role, A symbolic purpose, A narrative destiny, A mythic archetype; were drawn together and rewritten as a single being. Not a mash‑up. Not a hybrid. A new person, with a new history, shaped by the echoes of two worlds. These fusions were not random. They were mythic alignments. WHY EARTH‑999602 IS DIFFERENT FROM EARTH‑9602 The two multiverses had experienced a fusion before that created Earth‑9602 (Amalgam Comics) which was A deliberate merging by cosmic entities. However, this was to be temporary patchwork for a narrative experiment, and the characters were self-aware of the merger. Earth‑999602 is a natural cosmic phenomenon, born from a multiversal fault line, not a cosmic decision. This fusion is permanent. There is no “undoing” the Convergence Fracture. No one remembers the parent universes; History rewrote itself cleanly and seamlessly. Only characters with aligned destinies fused. Others remained separate or vanished entirely. This is the true Earth 999602. THE AFTERMATH When the Fracture settled a new Earth existed. A new history had always existed. Heroes and villains were reborn as fused beings. Some characters never existed at all while some became civilians, others became mythic forces. Yet, some became villains shaped by the collision of destinies. The world moved forward, unaware that it had been anything else. Only a handful of cosmic beings — The Arbiter Wraith, The One (or the Tribunal of One), and the Endless Convergence — remember the truth. They call Earth‑999602: “The Convergent World.” I will be working out the fine details on my customs for this World/Universe. I have Heroes and Villains and maybe some civilians (and maybe some cosmic entities) that may be coming your way soon, I hope. Stay Tuned!

Thank you, cylonchaney. I really appreciate that comment. I try my best to get the right visual without alterations. Now that the Broken Seal saga figures are complete. I am working a new idea of an Alternate Amalgamation Universe. I am fusing DC & Marvel just not like what has been published by the comics. I found some images online that have inspired me and I am going with it. This universe is not like Earth 9602 and it is not like my Spider-Bat Universe. I am calling it Earth 999602. I am attempting to not merge characters with identical power sets but some just fit nicely and some still feel like a stretch. I will likely try to share maybe mid June. also: Thank you, buttheadsmate. Glad you like these pieces.

Navaan: Thank you, I was torn about the look for Hexborne. I am glad you like it. I was thinking of making him more demonic but still need him to look somewhat human. I am thinking you are referring to Commander Courageous’ shield. It is the shield that came with Hulk-Buster Captain America.

I appreciate this opportunity. I made a figure I was not sure about creating before this contest and I hope you all like it when Luke starts the voting process. Thank you all for making this site a great place of support for MiniMates be it collectors or customizers. I appreciate all of you here. Thank you, Luke, for making this contest. Good Luck to all who are able to enter. Captain Paco (aka Kam)

The allies of the Vanguard are all as devoted to unity and peace and while each have their own duties, they have come together to protect the innocence of all. The work as a well balanced team to push back the Trine and their allies and hope to one day restore the seal and reset the balance. White Tigress Kira Rowan, a lone operative/rogue vigilante, works with the Vanguard only when it aligns with her goals or aid her personally. She is a trained assassin and spy who came to reject the mission of the covert organization that trained her. She is not mystical, but her powers come form training, discipline and sheer will. Master Assassin: silent takedowns, infiltration, and close-quarters combat, Spy craft Expert: disguises, surveillance, counterintelligence, Enhanced Reflexes: not superhuman but trained to near-perfect precision, Tigress Stance: a fluid martial art that blends acrobatics with claw-like strikes, Predator’s Instincts: reads body language with uncanny accuracy. Has retractable razer-sharp claws, Throwing needles and a collapsible staff. Kalu the Untamed A feral warrior who was born the heir to an ancient African Kingdom – powerful, spiritually rich tribe that existed long before recorded history. His people lived in harmony with the natural world guided by the ancestral spirits and primal instincts. During the sacred rite of passage, a catastrophic mystical event (the same one that originally fractured the Jade Seal) ripped him out of his timeline and hurled him into the modern world. His powers are primal and spiritual but not mystical and include Primal Strength, Heightened Senses-smell, hearing, night vision and danger instinct, good at tracking prey across miles, Feral Reflexes, Tribal Combat Arts: grappling, claw-like strikes, acrobatics, bone-breaking holds, animal-inspired movements, Ancestral Awareness. Auric the Golden Monk A monk from a hidden Himalayan monastery that studied the “Golden Breath”, a mystical energy that enhances the body and spirit. He has also mastered every form of martial arts known to man. He was sent to out into the world once the Jade Seal was broken. His powers include Chi-Enhanced Strikes, Golden Aura Shields, Levitation, Energy Redirection and Spiritual Purification. Verdant Wardeness Dr. Ivy Mapleton was a botanist who discovered an ancient druidic grove tied to the world’s spiritual lifeforce. When the Trine awakened, the grove chose her as its new guardian. Her powers include Plant Manipulation, Healing Aura, Nature-based Shields, Summoning Spirit Animals and Earth-Sense (detecting disturbances in nature). Echo Wraith Dr. Denis Kross, a scientist who accidentally slipped between dimensions during an experiment. When he returned, he had been changed – able to partially phase out of reality. His powers include Intangibility, Teleportation, Echo Clones, Dimensional Sight and Energy Disruption.

A counter-balance to the Trine was created to attempt to bring back the harmony that had existed until the shards took on vessels to do their bidding. This counter-balance is known as the Vanguard of Sol or the Vanguard of the Unbroken. The abilities of these heroes were awakened by the many sages and scholars of the realms in an attempt to bring the Shards back under control and restore the harmony. The initial Vanguard selection was that of Captain Nathaniel Braverman, who is a highly decorated Army officer. When the three shards bonded to their vessels, some energies released from the three realms and sought out to find a vessel of their own to fight the Trine. Captain Braverman was selected and imbued with Spiritual Resilience which amplified his natural strengths. His willpower is his weapon. His abilities include Courage Surge, which he gains Strength, Speed and Durability when he is protecting others; Aegis Field, a shimmering protective barrier that shields allies from mystical attacks; Battle Sense, momentary flashes of insight that help him anticipate danger; and Unbreakable Will, resistant to corruption, illusions and spiritual influences. Captain Nathaniel Braverman now goes by the moniker of Commander Courageous. The same energies sought out Mei-Lin Arata. These energies awakened her latent abilities that include Shadow Silk, energy ribbons she can shape into whips, shields or snares, Red Veil, a crimson aura that boosts her agility and stealth, Seal Sense, allows her to detect the presence and movement of the Jade Seal's shards and Mirror Step that allows her to teleport through reflective surfaces. Mei-Lin is the cousin of Yu-Min, but her father defected from the cult and his family to move his wife and daughter to live a normal life in modern world. Mei-Lin now dons the moniker of Scarlet Shade. A third member of this Vanguard was also selected to help in the fight and make a balance. Vincent Blaze was an archaeologist who was present at the site of the cult's main gathering and when an explosion occurred as the shards were being imbued to their vessels, he lost his right eye but at that same moment the energies that sought Nathaniel and Mei-Lin, also took a hold of him. His left eye become a conduit for his abilities. His hair became a living flame-not a physical fire but a spiritual fire that reacts to corruption and lies. He also has Inferno Sight as his left eye sees illusions, lies, spiritual entities and corruption in living beings. He has Flame Crown which is his hair that can intensify with emotions, Blaze-Step which allows him to teleport in bursts of flame and Purifying Fire that allows him to burn away curses, toxins and dark magic without harming the innocent. He hopes by the name Pyre-Eye.

This is partially a repost to allow me to provide the images for the Three Great Sages that are at the founding of my Broken Seal Saga. The Trine of the Broken Seal needs to start with the seal that became broken as it is all the origin concept of this universe. Before kingdoms rose, before stars had names, The Seal was forged to bind what should never walk free. Long before recorded history, the world was not a single realm - it was a crossroads of three planes: The Mortal Realm (Earth), The Spirit Realm (home to the ancestral forces) and the Astral Realm (cosmic consciousness and celestial beings). The realms overlapped freely and beings crossed between them without restriction. This created chaos, spiritual storms, cosmic predators, corrupted spirits and mortal suffering as humanity was caught in the middle. Three great sages emerged (one from each realm) to restore balance. The Earth Sage was a mortal philosopher-king who sought harmony. The Spirit Sage was a guardian spirit who embodied order. The Astral Sage was a cosmic wanderer who understood the laws of creation. So, together they forged a pact to seal the boundaries between the realms. This boundary was The Jade Seal. This Jade Seal was forged from a cosmic jade meteorite that fell during a rare celestial alignment. It was fused with mortal will, spiritual essence and astral energy. This Jade Seal become a keystone in reality, stabilizing the three realities and preventing catastrophic overlap. The power was divided into three virtues, Power (Earth), Knowledge (Spirit) and Freedom (Astral). And due to the Jade Seal, the virtues were balanced perfectly within. For centuries, the Jade Seal held the realms in harmony, but balance is fragile. A war erupted between The Spiritborn (those who wanted the realms reunited), The Astralborn (those who wanted to reshape reality) and Mortal Kings (those who wanted the Seal's power for themselves). During the final battle of this war, the seal was struck by three simultaneous forces: a Mortal Blade, a Spirit Curse and an Astral Beam. The seal shattered and the explosion tore through all three reams. The realms separated violently, spiritual rifts opened, ancient beings were trapped or displaced, time itself fractured in places. The three core virtues became shards, each carrying a fragment of the Seal's original power. The shards were then lost. The Shard of Power was buried beneath a mountain temple. The Shard of Knowledge was hidden in a forbidden library of the spirit realm. The Shared of Freedom was lost in a desert where the veil between realms was thin. For centuries they slept. That is until an ancient cult, The Order of the Broken Seal rediscovered them. The Order of the Broken Seal believed "to restore the Seal it to restore the world to its true form." They sought three worthy vessels to carry the shards. The Mortal Realm Sage The Spirit Realm Sage The Astral Realm Sage

I believe they may be the boots from Ultimate Agent Venom. I cannibalize many a Marvel mate to make my customs.

By the way, here are my two customs from Dungeons & Dragons. I have recently made Kelek based upon the image and information from Padrino. Then Strongheart I made just after the two D&D Box sets came out.

elhonez: Thank you so much. I appreciate it a lot. I am working on my alternate universe character to maybe enter Luke's contest but I could not stop at just the one and have worked a whole league of heroes and the villains. I now can not decide which one to enter.
