Be a part of the Squadron

Fri Feb 20, 2009, 10:27 AM
Been working on this for awhile. A story about a group of heroes with a dark tone dealing with the issues of the world that even they are powerless to overcome. A lot of the stuff I'm posting are working titles and is based on stuff I've done when I was a kid I called The Commandos 2000. There's A LOT of kinks I'm working out and the characters I'm using are undergoing DRASTIC changes to compensate for the vision I have in mind.

Each member story deals with personality flaws they suffer and have to overcome. They're called "The Squadron" the members are as follows…

Captain Beam-
An immortal who has the power of super strength, flight and can project "beams" of energy. Being the strongest of the six has made him VERY arrogant which causes him to loose touch with his humanity.

Red Sun-
The leader of the group and one of the few members who does not have powers. He compensates his lack of powers with shear will, the love of his country and his ambition for justice. As the story progress, he will go threw the many problems that we humans go threw in our everyday lives.

Lady Night-
Another non-powered hero who is known as the deadliest human in combat. She learned how to fight from the best in the world and practicing to be a detective. Her issues deal with a past she ran away from which later comes back to haunt her.

Cold Blood-
The millionaire Genius of the group who relies on his genetically enhanced intellect and love for gadgets to fight evil. Threw the story his desire in wanting to know EVERYTHING gets him into trouble with his team mates.

Spider Fang-
The mystic of the group whose a collector of vile souls. With his opinion on who Spider Fang wishes to collect leads him to believe he's judge jury and executioner. His team mates question on his authority on who he believes are considered to be vile.

Atomicgal-
A light hearted heroine with the ability constructs made of pure energy. Her powers came at a price which leads to a self destructing life.


At the moment I've been in constant email discussion, a lot of phone calls and am negotiating to hire a writer to co-write the story with me. As well as been in the process of doing complex costume designs. As well as A LOT of research on world events.

Note: I have yet to copywright a lot of the material. The names I'm using at the moment aren't even their real names, but the names I gave when I made them when I young. Each one has again had changes that are very drastic.

  • Mood: Optimism
  • Reading: Blogs
  • Watching: Late Night with Conan O'brian
  • Eating: breakfast
  • Drinking: water

Didn't you see him in that old Chuck Norris Movie?
:iconshumworld:
The new names they got are pretty "corny" themselves, from a certain point of veiw. But the new ones do fit their character a lot more.

Sounds good, “Spider Fang” seems to be a pretty good name. Have you come up with any villains?

Hmm.....is Red Sun a samurai character by chance? :) The name just kinda brings this image of the Japanese flag to mind an, therefore, the image of the Red Sun on the headband of a samurai warrior.

this is a lot more "traditional comic" than the other ideas you've talked about before... and i think that'll make it work a little better. the others seems a little more manga than anything else which makes them seem a little more generic (although i really liked bgrrl).

i like what you've got going on here so far, rob. so hopefully we get to see these guys soon when you're not busy working or learning how to kick ass. XD

good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see!

Bgrrl will have her day, but I believe this has more potential to succeed.

So far I'm almost done designing 3 out of six of them. Just want to copyright a decent chunk of material before showing it off.

When I named him, I thought Red Sun sounded cool. His character has nothing to do with samurais.
