superheroes that marvel or dc will never make

[Robert Treder]

I never read Earth X...what happened with Thor there?

Loki tricked Odin into punishing Thor by turning him into a woman. It's still Thor, but he's a she.

And Dr. Fate was a man and a woman inside of a man's body; they were both in there. Molyneux's idea is a man trapped in his dead wife's body.

How about a geriatric man, who is blind, and has specialised telekinesis. He can only use it to operate his weapon; a bow that shoots chainsaws. He lost his eyes in the Korean war, and recently had a radar system installed in his wheelchair, which he can plug into his brain to replace his eyes. He is also a very tragic character, for while he is considerate and kind, and has great sex appeal, he has severe erectile dysfunction and is immune to Viagra (which may or may not be another one of his super-powers. A super villain could spread Viagra in the water for instance, and the old man wouldn't be fazed). He got his super-powers while fighting a crocodile in the Fountain of Youth, which later turned out to be filled with radioactive water. The crocodile later mutated into a super-intelligent bear with a crocodile head and top hat and is his arch-nemesis.

His real name is Gary, but when fighting crime, he is known as... Oldman.

Rob Liefeld did it already. The six-part miniseries came out in 1994, was based on Isaac Asimov's unpublished last manuscript, and was masterfully drawn by Liefeld. The miniseries was so well-received by the comic world that it received four Eisner awards and even got attention in the mainstream newsmedia. A made-for-tv movie of Oldman starring David Hasselhoff appeared on the Fox network in 1995, but was not as well received. After Rob Liefeld's fall from grace in 1996, everybody forgot about all of this, just like we all forgot that the Sentry was a great silver age hero, because Rob Liefeld's work only lives in our minds as long as we all believe in Rob Liefeld; that's his super power. Since we all hate Rob Liefeld, we can no longer recall Oldman or twelve other formerly award-winning series by Rob Liefeld ... we are left only with the memory of Youngblood and the crime against humanity which was Rob Liefeld's X-Force.

just remember not to mention Rob Liefield three times in a row while staring into a mirror....


Actually inspired by wildcards and sam & max, I created a pair of super heroes who were a cat and a dog.. (actually a wolf to be exact), the cat was the one who could operate human equipment with TK, could speak using telepathy, and generally acted like he was a god; the wolf had superhuman strength and intellegence but couldn't talk or use human equipment. (the cat had Telepathy that he mostly used to talk to the wolf.), oh and the wolf in this case was half alaskan timberwolf, and half asgardian (Loki's grandson to be exact) <yes, the wolf's father was Fenrir, not Hel or Jormundgarm>

They Might Be Giants spring to mind.

Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What's he like? It's not important
Particle man
Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, Particle man

Triangle man, Triangle man
Triangle man hates particle man
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle man

Universe man, Universe man
Size of the entire universe man
Usually kind to smaller man
Universe man
He's got a watch with a minute hand,
Millenium hand and an eon hand
When they meet it's a happy land
Powerful man, universe man

Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man
Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man

Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates person man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man
