22nd of July, 2007

This here batch is a snapshot of the most recent completed writeup at the time it was assembled (though some old stuff managed to get in by virtue of being republished at just that moment). I chose to do this at one point where a lot of DC villains were being published, for people who grumble they don’t even have 350 DCU villains to chose from on that stupid site. Roll call:

  • ART. Not much (got tired) – one new shot for Zoom II, and Superman Beyond (the homemade version) now has a nice illustration.
  • Two of the missing Strikeforce Morituri heroes:
    • Adept
    • Marathon
  • Most of the aforementioned DCU villains are from various versions of the Cadre. The following are the neo-Nazi militia called the Aryan Nation, that was also part of the Judgement Day version of the Cadre:
    • Backlash
    • Blind Faith
    • Golden Eagle II
    • Heatmonger
    • Iron Cross
  • The original, 1980s Cadre is now here, too. Like the Aryan Nation, those villains are just the right level for a big brawl in many campaign:
    • Black Mass
    • Crowbar
    • Fastball
    • Nightfall
    • Shatterfist I
    • Shatterfist II
    • Shrike III
    • Starshrike
  • The famous inept barbarian, Groo.
  • The first two entries for the Force of July quasi-governmental team, which happens to be a big bunch of bullies and fanatics:
    • Major Victory (I and II)
    • Sparkler (I)
  • The Master Mold, the original mutant-hunting uber-Sentinel in the Marvel Universe
  • The world-famous Monkey King, as seen in Chinese epic Journey to the West
  • Morgg, a giant DCU henchman who happens to be immune to magic
  • The pre-Crisis Legion entries being pretty popular, here comes another big one for… Phantom Girl! With a super-cute illustration to boot.
  • T-Bag from Prison Break
  • Our first entry for the famous Tommy Vercetti, of Grand Theft Auto fame
  • Zeek, the strongest person there is in the Larsenverse

Let me check… 3376 entries now, we’ll break 3400 by the next one.

6th of July, 2007

Another somewhat random array, though with generally much bigger names than the previous random picks. Roll call:

  • ART. Not much this time, I don’t have the time, so mostly late submissions. New and/or improved art for:
    • Vigilante II (Adrian Chase)
    • Captain Nemo (LXG comics)
    • Mystelor (Taurus Gang)
    • Shagrek (Taurus Gang)
    • Mister Popo (Dragonball Z)
    • The homemade Tangent version of the Swamp Thing
  • FABLES. This batch has Bluebeard.
  • 790, the insufferable robot head from LEXX.
  • Azalin, a lich-king from the Raveloft AD&D setting
  • Cyborg, from the cartoon version of the Teen Titans
  • The Dark Messiah and his disciples, an old Moondragon-created Daredevil villain – during the San Francisco era
  • HK-47 — no, not that one, a homebrewed character
  • The Lizard King, one of the most dangerous enemies Aztek met during his brief career
  • The “Junk Cyborgs”, two servants of the Lizard King
  • Notes for Miss Victory, the chief Femforce character
  • Mister Gargoyle, one of those terrible old Wonder Woman villains from just before the mod karate era
  • Mysterio – a classic Spider-Man villain
  • The fascinating Nemesis III, the Spirit of Retribution seen through several eras of Alpha Flight adventures. I say “era” a lot, today. Era. Era.
  • Nicholas Wolfwood from Trigun. His cross is full of mercy.
  • JC Roque, which I think is the last of the Losers (2000s version)
  • Two of the missing magical sailor girls:
    • Sailor Jupiter
    • Sailor Venus
  • The Scarlet Mask, a random artefact from a thoroughly obscure Boris Karloff comic book
  • Scripture, the Teragen guy, and thus a conversion from Aberrant
  • S T R I P E from the JSA — formerly Stripesy, aka Pat Dugan
  • More Superman goodness. This time:
    • Superman as he was in 1942
    • Superman from Earth-1, on a PRE-CRISIS POWER SCALE
    • “Superman Beyond”, created by Puf on the template of the Batman Beyond cartoon
  • The fourth Whip — a forerunner of a batch full of Seven Soldiers (Grant Morrisson’s 2005 version) that will come, hmmm, at some point
  • Notes about Zeitgeist — the one from the Special Executive
  • Zoom II, from the DC Universe.

So that’s 3351 entries by now ; the next batch will probably take recent work rather than diving deep into the past.
