B is for Bouncing Boy

May 17, 2010

And we’re back!
I think I started the series too quickly with Arm-Fall-Off Boy- unlike the “retro” idea behind the first series, I didn’t have a good “hook” for each entry. After letting the ideas bake for a while, though, the concept that grabbed me can be summed up like this; “What if the Legion, in [...]

Mirror Master

April 20, 2010

Because I realised this morning that I’ve fallen in love with the Flash’s Rogues gallery. I mean, come on. Mirror Master? Captain Cold? The Pied Piper? AWESOME.

Yeah, it’s Wednesday, and this is supposed to be an every-Monday series. But I hope you’ll agree that this one was worth the wait.
The gallant Guardian and the glorious Gladiator ganging up on a grouchy Gorilla Grodd!
I took my time with this one, since I’m avoiding real work. My twin goals with this series are [...]

F is for Firebrand

Firebrand

Firebrand is a character I’d never even heard of before the name popped up in the comments for this series.
I’d think that big poofy sleeves combined with fire-based superpowers would be tempting fate. But hey, there are worse costume choices out there!
Any thoughts for the next letter, G?
