Re: Jab's Rifts Builds (Spider Woman! Thunderbird! Russian Gods!)
The problem with Slavic and Russian mythologies is the sources are faaar more limited than even what we have for Norse mythology. Next to no true primary sources, a lot of second hand material, and a huge amount of interpretation and guesswork (example, Svarog being an "all-father," which ...

Re: Jab's Rifts Builds (The Daemonix! Pantheons of the Megaverse Done!)
It's been interesting following these takes- some interesting stuff, some boring stuff, and some WTF stuff.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Typhoid Mary! The Hand! Gladiator! Stilt-Man!)
Stilt-Man is that perfect mix of incredibly silly with "well, maybe..." Like he's just silly enough to be fun and made fun of, but without ruining him completely. Just this perfect level of relatively harmless, but still kinda interesting in spite of the ridiculous concept. I enjoy seeing ...

Re: The Thunder Woman & Extraordinary Mythos Characters and Setting
That adds a nice bit of Bronze Age Marvel tragedy to the mix. The idea of Katrina being "the one that got away" who also suffered a tragic fate and became one of Thunder Woman's greatest enemies. In true Spider-Man fashion, Samantha blames herself for something that was beyond her control...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Bullseye! Dark Messiah! Typhoid Mary! Sir! Vapora!)
What's funny is, that particular run of Frank Miller comics were among some of the first I ever read, and I think helped set me up for my later forays into comics. Funny how something like that can contribute to paths taken in life.

Re: The Thunder Woman & Extraordinary Mythos Characters and Setting
Oh yeah, mixing Doctor Octopus traits with Rogue traits makes for an IMMENSELY powerful character. I'd imagined her more as a dire personal threat, but this version is an absolute TEAMWRECKER. Yeah, she's pretty "deceptive" like that. Though the debut story I have does involve her steamro...

Re: Katrina Becker
Man. Danilo Cassonato knows how to draw a good looking woman. The redhead is cute, and I like the builds and setting so far. But dark haired woman drawn like that activates all of my art lovin' neurons. Yeah, I'm very pleased with how he did his version of Katrina. And there's plenty more art comin...

Re: The Thunder Woman & Extraordinary Mythos Characters and Setting
YAY, GAY SAMANTHA! lol, she's bi Jab, not lesbian. ;) That being baked into her origins (though to be fair it's a recent development in your creation of her, lol) helps make her stand out a bit. But it also leads me to ship her with every single female cast member more than poor David, though XD. N...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Man-Bull! The Owl! Karen Page! Bullseye!)
Man, Bullseye. Such an utter monster, and yet it's sometimes useful to have a monster like him around. Probably helps that he doesn't seem to be as unstoppable as Carnage or modern day Joker and loses so badly it sometimes makes up for his awfulness. Man, I knew he lost a lot, but I didn't realize i...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Nuke! Man-Bull! The Owl! Karen Page!)
The funny thing about the Owl is that the Bat books have demonstrated that owl-themed supervillains can work, you just need to put a little work into it. Which, well, doesn't look to be the case here. Shame. Owl could be useful as a kind of criminal "beggar king" instead of just being this...

Re: The Thunder Woman & Extraordinary Mythos Characters and Setting
"Tia Woman" was one of those things where I recall you just went with a "What If?" design and it was just knocked out of the park immediately. Like, this one could have easily been the star of her own book too, with that design. The full body armor, the grey to shake up the colo...

Re: The Thunder Woman & Extraordinary Mythos Characters and Setting
Last second pic makes her look so nerdy, haha! She's the best! Secondary waifu material! Definitely the nerd of the bunch, lol. I'm surprised at the sheer level of her skill- Folklore at +18 is near Tony Stark's tech-level. She's gotta be way in advance of just about anyone on that front. And she's...
