Old Superhero OCs (long post)
I was watching a friend of mine Play Spider-Man 2 and was hit with a wave of nostalgia for my old Superhero OCs. Since doubt I'll ever really revisit them I thought It'd be interesting to share what I had on them.
Her real name was Trisha (last name undecided). she was about 5’5” tall (6' 3" in hero form), had long black curly hair, dark skin, green eyes, and that was all I had on her appearance.
She was a mycologist who... through some means I either forgot or never specified, gained the ability to transform into a hero. She would gain almost a foot of height, glowing eyes and a mushroom cap like headdress with tendrils, and her powers would be...mushrooms.
She could cause them to grow rapidly and huge, trap criminals in cages inspired by the Bridal veil Stinkhorn, create platforms, etc. She would also have the ability to fire various spores with differing affects like paralysis, blinding, sleep, etc. Her powers were limited however because the environment needed to be cool and not too dry otherwise here abilities were severely weakened.
This was the only drawing I ever attempted of her from around 2020.
Real name Holly ... (last name once again undetermined) the idea for her came to me by watching pigeons while waiting for a bus. She's about 5 ft tall possibly under? very short. Round in shape with grey eyes behind big circular glasses and curly brown hair. She's also a double bellow the knee amputee.
She had regular prosthetic legs and used a cane normally but as Pigeon girl she had robotic talons and wings! She would swoop in and hit bad guys with her foot-fists, or pick them up and carry them away. She was also friends with all the local pigeons and so she could call on them to cause havoc when needed.
No pictures sadly as I never did end up drawing her.
Real name: Becky Bryan
Pro wrestler turned accidental super hero. I actually have a lot of lore written up on her! She's a trans girl who was kicked out of her home by unsupportive parents and basically "adopted" by an indie wrestling promoter and became a wrestler.
While her new dad is supportive, she decides to wrestle as male until she feels more comfortable in her body and self (she is actively transitioning) She mainly works as "enhancement talent" (Jobber) losing to build up other stars, filling out multi person matches, etc.
She's blonde, with Blue eyes (though that changes later) and about 5'9ish with an athletic build.
Her origin story:
While working on a show in a less well reputed part of town, she is offered strange performance enhancing drugs. She succumbs to the peer pressure and accepts them. However, these drugs were actually experimental super-soldier serums being developed by ... someone. I forget. big evil company idk. The night goes on fine but after a few hours everyone who took the serum starts feeling really sick. Becky goes home and is completely disorientated and delirious. she's snapped out of it by her Hormone alarm, which snaps her out of it long enough to take her spironolactone testosterone blocker and pass out. The spiro reacts to the serum and actually causes it to work as intended and she wakes up changed.
Her powers:
Enhanced Strength, Enhanced Speed, Enhanced Agility, Enhanced Reflexes, Enhanced Hearing. another side affect is heterochromia, one of her eyes turns green.
Some mask designs I drew inspired by various luchador masks. yes the colours were the trans colours because I was and am very unoriginal.
Her personality was kinda like a Deadpool/spider-man type, very referential and trash talky, but with a heavy lean towards pro wrestling references. she used a lot of Wresting like weapons (kendo sticks, steel chairs, bags of mystery powder).
Honestly, she was mostly inspired by this comic book cover I saw, heh.
There's more stuff I had on her and her world but honestly this post is way long enough. Just wanted to get this stuff written out... somewhere.
