Codename: Fenrir File Name: Logan Fenrison Parents: Fenris the Wolf and X-23 Powers: Super human strength, weapons mastery, healing factor, shape shifting into a wolf and an extended lifespan. Logan's life was never what anyone would consider easy especially considering his unique childhood. Being the grandson of Loki and son of Fenris would have been enough to fast track most children for villainy however destiny often has a way of stacking the deck. His story started after Fenris had escaped his bindings in Asgard. The Wolf quickly made his way to Earth hoping for a quick snack before his predestined meeting with Odin for Ragnarok. Unfortunately the first thing he found wasn't some weak little girl in a red hood. No, she was as much a savage beast as Fenris himself. She quickly proving to him that she was no stranger to fighting claw to claw and Fenris was quickly dispatched. Some might say that Fenris was ensorcelled and therefore didn't fight as savagely as he normally would have, whatever the case may have been, after his defeat he found that not only had his hunger abated but so had his need for revenge against the Gods who had wronged him so long ago. Instead thoughts of the woman known as X-23 plagued him in their place. At first he believed that he wanted her as he had wanted a great many things, to fill a void in his being. As time passed and they met in battle again he realized that it was more than just wanting to posses her, he needed her whether as an ally or an enemy it didn't matter as long as they were near each other. At times, when he was alone, he even thought that he might actually love her. A thing that until that point he had believed was impossible for being such as him. It was during the heat of battle that the Gods came to chain him once again. He had been fighting X-23, knowing that in the end the villains he had allied himself would loose and that his own sparing would end in a draw, when the Gods attacked full force. They had come in force and had no intention of letting a little collateral damage stop them. Rather than making his escape he used his own body to shield X-23 from the onslaught. As the Gods brought forth the ribbon to chain him they knew, even in his weakened condition a sacrifice had to be made. The asked who's hand he would demand in payment. Fenris didn't demand a tribute; instead he limped to X-23 and told the Gods that if he had to be bound in chains once more then his only request was that he be bound my the only person he had ever loved. While this stunned many of the warriors Freya took the ribbon from Odin and passed it to X-23 however when she tied it around Fenris' neck it didn't transform into chains instead it became a collar and a leash. At this the Gods were infuriated, especially Tyr, for no simple collar could contain the wolf for long. Odin only smiled and told them that Fenris was bound more firmly than any physical chain ever could. Once the Gods had left Odin informed X-23 that Fenris was now her responsibility but should he ever return to his evil ways they would both be bound by the chains forever. Two years later during a camping trip Logan was born. Unfortunately within hours of his birth Ragnarok began. Tyr, consumed by unending anger and a hunger for revenge, was transformed into werewolf. He betrayed his brethren and took Fenris' place as the wolf of destruction. Both Fenris and X-23 were transported to Niflheim to suffer for what was believed to be Fenris' prophesied crimes. Little Logan was left to die alone, yet at this tender age his survival instincts were strong. To stay warm he quickly grew a coat of fur. His hungry whining eventually attracted a wolf pack. When they investigated Logan fully transformed into a wolf. He lived with the pack for two years maturing at the same rate as a wolf. As he matured into an adult he came to realize that he wasn't the same as the other wolves in the pack so he set out to discover who and what he truly was. As he wondered he encountered the werewolf like creatures known as the Hunters in Darkness where his shifting abilities changed him again to resemble them. He only spent a few months with the pack as they slowly moved south ahead of the growing cold. Eventually they encountered human civilization however the great cities were devoid of life. Eventually a strange calling forced Logan away from the pack and into one of the buildings. Inside he found a mace that, when he touched it, transformed him into a human rapidly assimilating much of the information and skills that had been locked away in his Asgardian genes. The mace, Thunderstrike, instantly transported him to Asgard where he met with his father, the last of the Aesir still alive, Fenris told him of his true identity and about how the fall of Asgard was the tipping point for the new ice age on Earth. Within days the planet would no longer be capable of supporting most life. However his pack would survive, as they had in the past, in suspended animation frozen solid in the ice. Unfortunately Logan wouldn't be so lucky, because of his connection to the fallen realm, he was ageing rapidly and would soon die unless he created a portal to an alternate reality. With his last breath Fenris told Logan to take Mjolnir and Thunderstrike to the remains of Bifrost and slam the two weapons together the resulting energy release in that location would open a doorway just long enough to escape. Logan followed his fathers bidding. The transportation wasn't easy and if his healing factor hadn't activated even his divine blood couldn't have healed him quickly enough to survive. However when he finally revived he found that his old scars hadn't healed and that he was, once again on Earth, lost in an unknown desert. He quickly discovered that both weapons were no longer mystically charged. So, with no other choice, he headed North hoping to either find his old pack or civilization. It wasn't long before the XL team picked him up. Unlike most of the other members of the group Logan knows there is nothing to return to in his universe so instead he spends his time trying to find a way to either re-power his weapons or at the very least meet his parents in his current reality.

Now that you mention it I have to agree, thanks for the suggestion. Though I may end up having to paint it gold to match the rest of the armor. Come to think of it, if I'm going to those lengths, I may switch out his gauntlets for the new from that Magneto as well.

Codename: Delinquent A.K.A. Spider-Boy File Name: George Benjamin (G.B.) Parker Parents: Peter and Gwen Parker Powers: Spider sense, super strength and agility, wall crawling, and psyonic webbing Weapons: Web shooters, jump boots, neural disrupter sword, sonic pistol, and a control collar (J.J.) G.B. hated his life and especially super heroes. His grandfather George Stacy raised him after the Green Goblin killed his mother, Gwen Parker, and the alien Venom consumed his father, Peter Parker. He spent most of his time getting into trouble and detention centers just to be noticed by others. However, during an attack by Venom, in which G.B. was a witness he found himself being saved from falling debris by the creature. It seemed like nothing short of a nightmare as the creature's face pealed back and his own father told him to run before Venom could regain control. G.B. ran but he didn't get far at least for someone in his condition. As the adrenalin kicked into overdrive his latent powers activated and he found himself at the top of the Daily Bugle building. It didn't take him long to realize that his father was actually the hero known as Spider-Man and that he hadn't been killed by Venom but instead had fallen under the creatures mental control. He confronted his grandfather hoping to learn more about his past. The confrontation finally ends when Captain Stacy admits that he lied to G.W. but it was only to protect him. The argument ended but G.W. promised that it wasn't over since he wanted to know everything about his father. He woke up the next morning only to discover that Captain Stacy had placed a power-limiting collar on him. The PLC was developed by Stark Industries for police forces to use against super criminals. Feeling betrayed G.B. ran away from home for the last time. Unlike all the other times he had run away, G.B. didn't just wander the streets aimlessly. Instead he headed for the library and started researching the super hero known as Spider-Man. The majority of information came from newspaper articles printed in the Daily Bugle however it was enough for him to discover that the former owner J.J. Jameson had amassed a very large collection of items from both Spider-Man and his greatest enemies before the hero's disappearance. When G.B. tracked down Jameson he intended to trade him Spider-Man's true identity for access to the collection. However what he found was a completely changed old man. When confronted Jameson admitted to being wrong about the hero and that he would do or give anything for Spider-Man's return, if for no other reason then to stop the growing population of alien symbiots secretly taking control of the Earth. G.B. then revealed his own story and his plans to find a way to free his father from Venom's control. Jameson agreed to help GB in any way possible. Unfortunately they discovered that the only ones that could remove the PLC was either Captain Stacy or its creator Tony Stark. The only thing they could do was contract with a former villain known, as The Fixer, to reduce the nullification effect to its lowest setting. The results were less than satisfying considering the collar often resets to its normal setting at the worst times. To counteract the effects Jameson gave GB Spider-Man's original web shooters, and the formulas for the different webbing that Parker had created. Perhaps the most important being the armor webbing that makes up Spider-Boy's armor. As an added precaution they contracted with the Tinker, for a pair of jump boots to boost GB's agility during power nullification. While picking up the boots GB picked up an energy sword and asked how much it would be. The Tinker just laughed and said that it was nothing more than a toy since it was non-lethal so he could have it for a discount. Finally prepared for a career as a super hero GB made his way to The Four Freedoms Plaza hoping to contact Mr. Fantastic in order to find a way to battle the symbiot threat. Unfortunately what he discovered was that the team had already been assimilated by the symbiots. While attempting to escape GB was forced through a dimensional doorway. Upon exiting he was confronted by Mr. Fantastic and Spider-Man. After the inevitable fight Mr. Fantastic confirmed that GB was indeed Spider-Man's son and even located the coordinates to GB's home universe, however the symbiot Mr. Fantastic had somehow created an interference machine to keep anyone from traveling back through the doorway. About the only positive of the whole experience was that GB learned the symbiot's weakness to sonic weapons. He vowed to eventually find his way home and cleanse his world of the symbiot menace. To that end he joined the XL team since they were the only ones devoting all of their time to dimensional gates and the support of those who were reality displaced.

The magic 8 ball says "Try later". That seems about right. If word comes down that a Battlebeasts line is dead and won't be happening then I may go ahead and put in the time to paint the little guy but if I do it probably won't turn out well. In order to make everything fit I had to shave the chest and belt armor rather thin and my skills aren't really up to the level of being able to work with such a rubbery material. However, even then it is still just a maybe seeing as how I'm never overly happy with the way my painted customs turn out anyway. As it is I've still got a couple of G.I. Joe Sigma 6 customs that need painting, a MOTUC Battlecat that needs to be dyed black and then painted to match my icon, and if I ever do get in the ambitious painting frame of mind I even have a couple of Hasbro Xevoz customs that could use a new coat. So I guess the best answer is it is possible, but not likely.

There has to be a Battlebeasts minimate line soon. There just HAS to be. Otherwise more classic battle beasts will face a fate worse than death, dismemberment and customization. Please don't let this have to happen again. There really is too much cutting to be done and I really shouldn't be allowed around sharp objects.

Codename: Judgment File Name: Honesty (No known last name) Parents: Unknown Powers: Unknown No one knows much about Judgment. She claims that she comes from an alternate timeline and that her parents were the New Warriors Justice and Firestar. However she has also claimed to be the daughter of Deadpool and Siryn as well as Taskmaster and Ultraverse Sirin depending on the situation. While tests have confirmed that she is a mutant and that she has a cross-dimensional energy signature that is about all that is known. She has never been seen using any sort of mutant ability relying instead on her guns. Since her arrival she has quickly taken control of the group, much to Avenger's surprise, and even tracked down two new members, Fenrir and Delinquent.

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.

AH, a new year and a new batch of customs first up a couple of quick customs of actual Marvel characters. To go with my new Box robot my finished Madison Jeffries. And of course 90's Avengers Sersi

The BSG Classic stuff might work, as-well-as the miniseries variant Baltar. Realistically the best sources of wardrobe would likely be from the movie and television lines. Back to the Future, 24, and the Spirit has a pretty good range of possibilities. Specific mates might include Playboy Stark from the Hostile Takeover box set and, now that I think about it, wasn't there an episode where Cat wore a coat and suit that was a lot like the one on the Octopus mate from the Spirit set? Of course the orange jumpsuits from BSG or the Silence of the Lambs sets would work for the episode where the crew went back in time discover the truth behind the wedding photo in Kachanski's locker.

There are so many possibilities from a Dwarf property, and that's just with Cat's wardrobe alone. My Top Five Box Sets would be Furry Mascot crew The Lows Crew The Highs Crew with extra bloody robes Lister's Gelf Wedding Despair Squid Hallucination team Vehicles/Playset Starbug Front/cockpit with Kachanski Middle/Dining area with Ace Rimmer Back/Lister's Bunk with Lister in pink frilly bathrobe All three can be connected for a full Star Bug Mk 2 vechile

Not to me. I still want Kylun, Cerise, Widget & Micromax. Wait, I can come up with a full wave: Kylun & Micromax (includes a mini version like the SS from Heralds set) Widget (includes original head only accessory version of Widget) & Ahab Cerise with Shi'ar Bug armor with extra parts for normal version (Troop Builder) & Feron Cerise with Shi'ar Bug armor with extra parts for normal version (Troop Builder) & Pete Wisdom (Variant) Come on, what better way to troop build Shi'Ar shock troopers?

Thanks boyd, BannersID, and hellpop. Yeah, I probably should have held off on posting it for a bit longer but after finally getting it completed I just had to share. It was the Jeffries/Box stories that hooked me on Alpha Flight. I mean, it was a mutant wearing robotic armor with the ability to transform it into whatever he needed at the time including a freaking spaceship. It was like getting Iron Man, X-Men, and Transformers all rolled into a single character and he wasn't even the main character on the team. Now, maybe, I'll have to figure out a way to customize a giant wheel lower torso.

I suppose I'm one of those rare breeds since I'm a completest with a bad habit of buying extra packs for customs. Even if I don't have any certain character in mind I still get extras if I like the look of the individual parts unfortunately with all the Thors and Caps my customs box runneth over. I completely understand the need and logic behind the saturation, still I'd like to get something a little new with the re-releases. Something as simple as a change to the mask to make it a Heroes Reborn Cap, have the head and extra hair piece be the John Walker version, or maybe something as complex as a second mask/head piece to transform him into Capwolf. With Iron Man Stark has worn so many variations of the Iron Man armor that even minor changes can be considered new armors. However getting more of the specialty armors would be better than rehashing the same armors over and over. That's one thing I really like about this wave's Iron Man. I'm not as bothered about the new Thor since the look is still unique enough that getting another one doesn't bother me that much but I'd still like to see some of the other characters that have been called Thor such as 26th century Dargo Ktor from Thor Corp or Thor 2099 Cecil MacAdam. While still recognizably Thor, Cap, and Iron Man to the casual shopper, that by this day and age should be used to endless variations of the same character wearing slightly different costumes, they are still new/different characters for the fans and collectors to get excited about as well. Moving away from wave 44 and on to the other two headliners that are taking a bit of a back seat, with it being an Avengers year. While there are several more costumed identities that Peter Parker has used, Slingers, they aren't "Spider-Man" so I've resigned myself to getting many more shading variations of that character. Wolverine has had quite a few variations that haven't been made yet Weapon X experiment, Ultimate black suit with yellow stripes, Fang costume, Feral Wolverine, Samurai, and of course his Team X Agent uniform. The latter would work well in a four pack with agent versions of Sabertooth, Maverick, and Battle Damaged Omega Red.

At last I've finished my long term WIPs. I give you Alpha Flight's Madison Jeffries Box robot custom.

Codename: Calamity File Name: Unknown Powers: enhanced strength and able to speak any language Calamity claims to be Rosemary's half demon daughter. Whether this demonic ancestry is true or not she does posses incredible strength, near invulnerability and the ability to speak in tongues. While a few have suggested that she is actually the Norse God Loki in disguise that seems unlikely considering the rest of the Sisterhood's members. Even Loki has some standards. One thing of note is the fact that her hammers have no mystical powers, they are exactly as they appear titanium hammers with leather wrapped handles.

Codename: Trauma File Name: Unknown Powers: None Almost nothing is known about Trauma, what is known comes from the state of her victims. Her preferred hunting grounds include sex change clinics and LGBT outreach centers where she poses as a nurse. She then mangles and tortures her victims before killing them. Her preferred weapons seem to be small "toothpick" katanas that can easily be hidden within her lab coat. While she prefers stealth and privacy she has proven in battle to be a highly skilled fighter and shouldn't be taken lightly. Even though she is scantily dressed, she has never been injured in battle. Whether this is actually due to a special ability or her training has yet to be determined.

@ winkerbean and Nessex, thanks and the wings are from the MU Falcon however I did have to clip them in order to better fit the size of the custom. Plus, when they were full size, even the screws couldn't hold up the weight. Codename: Anarchy File Name: Unknown Powers: Mental domination of all male minds, electrical discharge from trident and whip Anarchy is one of Discord's co-workers from the old west that s/he plucked from the time stream and augmented with electrical and mental powers. She has discovered a new life in the present. No longer just the plaything for drunken men, she has gone to the other extreme as a dominatrix with the power to command the male mind. In those she can't dominate mentally she encourages their cooperation using electricity channeled through her trident and barbwire whip.

Codenames: Chaos and Confusion File Names: Unknown Powers: None Chaos and Confusion could almost be the same person except they've both been seen together. At times they've claimed to be twins, however DNA records have proven that they are not genetically related. They have no super human powers but they make up for this with their marksmanship and the fear they inspire during their day jobs. Chaos used to be a lawyer and now works as Discord's male pop star persona's agent. She is right handed and prefers to wear short hair wigs. Confusion on the other hand prefers her wigs long and is left-handed; she was once an accountant but has since started acting as Discord's female persona's agent.

Thanks. Yeah, the 80's have a lot to answer for. The inspiration for Chaos and Confusion comes primarily from G.I.Joe's Tomax and Xamot along with a touch of Batman's rouges gallery henchmen. I'll be getting their combined bio up tomorrow.

It is said that heroes are defined by their enemies; if that is the case then the Rejects are even worse off than they ever imagined. After all, their greatest enemies are the Sisterhood of Misfortune a group of delusional third stringers with delusions of infamy. Codename: Discord File Name: Unknown Powers: Flight, energy projection, emotion manipulation, and possible time displacement Discord is completely unhinged mentally, physically, and temporally. S/he was conceived by a time traveling father and Greek princess reputed to be the second most beautiful woman in the world. The most beautiful woman having been kidnapped and most of the army camped out around the city where she was taken made for a lot of lonely virgins in Greece at the time. Then she was born in the far-flung future where hir genetics were altered to weed out any imperfections, not that it did any good, and give her super human abilities. S/he was then sent back through time to be raised in the old west, which would turn hir into a "real man". Unfortunately things didn't go as planned and s/he ended up being raised a nubile male prostituted. At the age of sixteen s/he was retrieved and taken back to the future where s/he was hyper educated and trained to eventually fight and defeat hir father's greatest enemies. Discovering that s/he was nothing more than a pawn s/he escaped through time to the present where s/he is living the life of a lesbian trapped in a mans body and working as two pop stars in her civilian life. However for one week every month hir Discord persona takes control and s/he becomes a militant anti-gay super villain with the ability to sow hatred and confusion wherever s/he goes. Hir only weapons are hir spear of impotence and time distortion blasts that can either increase or decrease the age of the area hit and she rarely misses her target. Fortunately, as long as the area hasn't fallen off or turned to dust it returns to normal after a few hours.

After creating Reverb in the Gender Reverse Universe I decided to flip the character's gender and add her to another team; in this case the Rejects so here is Reverb II Codename: Reverb Filename: Erica Blain Powers: Shapeshifting, psionic daggers, sonic scream, and a mutant healing factor Reverb is an alien of the Skrull species, a Super Skrull to be precise. This means that in addition to her shape changing abilities she has also taken on the powers and skills of four other super beings. In Reverb's case she has Psylocke's psyonic daggers, Colossus' biometalic body, Deadpool's healing factor, and Banshee's sonic scream. Erica loves humans, their culture, and especially their music. So rather than leaving Earth she remained behind and joined the only group that would accept her as an alien metal head, The Rejects. However, if the chance ever presents itself she's made it completely clear that she'll leave the team if she ever has the chance to work with Lila Cheney and her intergalactic band.

@ TENIME_art and vbpanizzi: That's right, it's the VAmpire Jubilee form Curse of the Mutant's with Femme Fatales Lady Death's cape. @ Nervous: Thanks, he is one of those customs that just sort of fell together. Quite literally when I accidentally upended the stack of cases that I keep my spare parts in while I was putting together the last two Z-Day Mates.

Codename: Avenger File Name: Diana Whitman Parents: Dane Whitman and Sersi Powers: Super human strength, energy manipulation, flight, time travel, weapons mastery, and an extended lifespan. In Avenger's reality both Dane and Sersi remained together in the Ultraverse where Sersi eventually the couple left the spotlight of public life after Diana was born. However, sensing her potential Diana is kidnapped by an ancient evil hoping to use her for its rebirth. Reconnecting with Ultraforce Dane and Sersi race to rescue their daughter Unfortunately, because of the draining effects on super powered beings from the alternate universe, Sersi discovers that she is not strong enough so she forever binds herself to her adopted reality by becoming the next Mantra. They rescue Diana but she is mortally wounded and the only chance of saving her is to send her to the Eternal's home in Olympia. While the cure worked Diana discovered that she was not only in an alternate reality but also that the doorway home had been closed. She immediately began working to find a way to time travel back to the point where the rift between the two worlds was still open so that she can return to the reality that she considers her own. So far she has only succeeded in opening a single time rift. Fortunately it has led her to the XL. She has stayed with the group, while her powers recover, on the chance that one of them will find another rift to the Ultraverse as they search for ways back to their own realities.

Thanks Luke. I really tried to figure out a way to connect without actually having to alter the mate but in the end the only way I could get them to stay in place and still be movable was to drill holes in the body block and then screw them in place. While well balanced on the figure the plastic is so heavy that the only way to move them is to loosen the screws and then re-tighten them. Eventually I plan on replacing the glove rings with the black and red ones from Eric/Thor and the brown upper leg belts with black belts. I also told myself that I wouldn't be trying to modify wings like that again but after seeing Marvel Universe Darkhawk I'm considering working on another War Bird.
