#phydyna

I normally draw her in green which, if you hang out on my blog, have already seen a couple times! Both colors are canon to her story. Perspective starts out in a green suit when she’s a sidekick and when she comes into her own and starts being a super on her own (which is just months before the ban) she dons the color purple.

I tried to make the keyhole sorta look like a skull- which is trying to symbolize her death caused from being a super. If she stayed a sidekick, if she stayed being second, she wouldn’t have gone to Syndrome’s island.

First- I want to say that I headcanon The Phylange’s real name to be Erik Baird and Dynaguy to be Mike Rutherford. When I say those name- that’s who I’m referring to.

After Dynaguy dies I don’t think Erik gets the time to process. I’m not talking about *The Phylange*, I’m talking about the man behind the mask, the singer, the one who’s always make it a point to be by his friends side. The one who bursts into song while he drives and gossips to anyone who’d listen. The Phylange got to grieve, he put on a full display at his friend’s monument, sobbing his eyes out like Cosette with Jean Valjean. He got that chance to say goodbye, not Erik. Erik never got that chance to say goodbye and say how much he loved Mike. To sit there and watch his friend be buried.. his head off-kilter ever so.. those dynamic brown eyes that seemed to hold the world together closed.

After Dynaguy dies, he doesn’t have time to grieve the death of one of his closest allies. Erik has to immediately get back to being Phylange, to get back to being a singer. The great Erik Baird didn’t know Mike Rutherford, a thick-accented softer Canadian who moved to California for a reason he refused to talk about (the topic always seemed to change… Erik could never bully that outta him). Erik didn’t get to grieve someone he didn’t know. The Phylange gets a week of rest before a new hotshot gets assigned to the Thrilling Three, which doesn’t seem very thrilling anymore to him. The NSA’s golden boy Gazerbeam gets assigned and there’s talk of him also reviving Dynaguy’s gauntlets.. which both of the remaining members of the Three are against.

Gazerbeam can never be a replacement for their friend. He’s his own person.. he.. it was like the NSA was trying to make Gazerbeam Dynaguy2.0 no matter what they do.

Of course they’d break up, why wouldn’t they. After a few missions together Gazerbeam starts to overshadow Apogee and Phylange because of course he would. The public always loved him, he was their favorite. The break was somewhat amicable, all parties took what they had originally brought to the table however friendships were irreparably damaged. Phylange wouldn’t assign himself to another team after this. He didn’t want to get attached again like he did to Mi- Dynaguy. Dynaguy… Erik never knew no Mike Rutherford who had the most beautiful eyes he’d ever seen or the softest black hair he’d ever felt.
