The Supermen of America

@Omega Man for the sake of our RP, who was it that broke Batman’s back? Was it Doomsday, or Bane? Figured I’d ask cause it’s a big part of Nightwing’s opening post I’ve been working on, and I realized about halfway through I wasn’t entirely certain who’d done the deed. So far I’ve been working off the assumption it was Bane.

Also awesome work on those micros, they look great!

I think it was Doomsday and Bane just took advantage of the chaos/lack of Batman.

@King Kindred

Kindred got it right! It was Doomsday that was responsible for Bruce's back in this timeline.

The Supermen of America

I would love one! =D also didn't even realize there was a manhunter that was cannon.

@Creedmoor

Played with the design just a tad more to make it look less generic in the torso. Also gave him a bow staff...

The Supermen of America

I mentioned going into why Superboy and Manhunter look the way they do, so I'm gonna go into it LOL

Superboy was originally a blue suit I'd made for Val Zod [Superman of Earth 2], with a hood I added because for a time in the comics he wore one often in his civilian clothes. I colored it the way I did because it's equal parts Superboy from Young Justice Season One [his all white solar suit] and New52 Superboy. I love putting white into Super-people suits. However I thought it was lacking with a simple red S on white like in the cartoon, so I made the pieces inside the S black like the New52 suit and it tied the design together much better.

Manhunter was a bit harder because it was a lot of detail thrown into essentially a bulky bodysuit. After reworking the bodysuit from an older design, it didn't start coming together until I made the shoulders the way they were. Sorta like metal trim used in tons of 90's era comic designs. Then I remembered the last Manhunter in the comics, Kate Spencer, had similar details on her shoulders depending on the artist. I'd planned on adding knives and such across the suit but the more I added the bulkier and messier the whole micro looked. So in the end it wound up looking more like Daredevil than Punisher.

Hope everybody likes them! If anybody wants I can make avatars like the one I'm using [bout to change it to Longshadow though LOL]. IC will be posted sometime early tomorrow, probably around lunch time.

Well, considering B. Orchid’s M.O., not seeing her is kind of legit. Haha.

@NeverEnding

I'm finishing her weird cape thing then I'll have the whole set of characters.

The Supermen of America

Still working on Nightwing and Orchid. I'll break down why I went the way I did with Manhunter and Superboy once I've finished the last two for the whole group shot.

The Supermen of America

IC should be up tomorrow evening/Saturday morning. I've got micros for like 5 characters, but again I took liberties. I love what I came up with for Superboy, but it isn't blue... lol

The Supermen of America

@King Kindred Some of your character's bio may need to be altered as somebody has shown interest in Dick Grayson.

The Supermen of America

Working on some micros for this, taking some liberties with some designs. Should have a set done by the nights end... maybe LOL

BRIEF Bio:

Tye is a Mescalero Apache, born in El Paso Texas. His mother Shelly insisted on living outside of the reservations so Tye was raised like any average American child. He grew up hearing stories of his great grandfather, a stoic Apache Chief, who was described often as a “giant of a man.” In his early 20’s, Tye’s metahuman gene was activated after a car accident with his mother that left her dead. After flipping their car off road during a thunderstorm, his mother told him that she loved him before speaking in Native American language with her last breaths “Inukchuk”. This blessing is believed to be a part of his power also giving him mystical origins.

Tye wasn’t sure what to do with himself and was a drifter for years. It wasn’t until seeing Batman and the Native American hero Chief Man of Bats in action in New York City that Tye found purpose. After saving the life of Batman with his giant form, both Bat-themed heroes kept an eye on Tye.

After saving people from a fire in California without any sort of mask to conceal his identity, Batman made contact and gave Tye one of Nightwing’s old masks. When he asked why, believing he didn’t have anyone close to keep safe, Batman gave him the name and location of his grandfather Holling.

Potential Storylines:

Supermen vs the Super Gorillas - Gorilla Grodd and a rogue army of gorilla soldiers from Gorilla City have overrun Central City and the Flash has called for help. Longshadow will be tested when the Golden Gorilla aka Congo Jim/Congorilla is brought in to help Grodd's army.

Taking Back Gotham - Longshadow among a few others helps with the effort to take control of Gotham back from the imposter Batman... Bane.

Notes: His S is war paint.
