Every superhero universe needs jobbers- losers who lose to the heroes again and again. And mine has its very own equivalent to The Serpent Society. A gang of Aquatic-themed super-villains, most are utter losers.
The Assembled Villains:
(first row)
MANTA RAY- Actually I don't mind his look. Though he's basically just "Batman with a tail".
BULL SHARK- A shark-man with horns.
OARFISH- Based off of the world's longest bony fish. He has elongation powers.
Whale Shark- The world's largest fish inspires a Growing Guy. And oddly, pink actually seems to WORK on his design. Not a lot of pink-wearing male super-characters, y'know?
DR. NAUTILUS- A nutty, armor-wearing super-scientist.
(second row)
THRESHER SHARK- I deliberately made him orange because it's not used often. His "thresher" hand makes him look like a dork. He's an ex-surgeon who became a supervillain in order to pay for a new prosthetic hand that worked like his old one. He was discovered & ruined, so he has to be a crook full-time now.
GOBLIN SHARK- I didn't want to settle for "just" looking like a weird anthro-shark. He needed garish gloves & boots.
BLUE SHARK- A super-strong, beefy woman. CLASSIC jobber material, like Marvel's old "Grapplers" super-villainess team.
DOGFISH- Yes, that's a real name for an animal. Though I intended this guy to look stupid (he's a dog-man wearing swimming gear), I was unprepared for just HOW stupid he would look.
SAWFISH- I wanted him to look a bit silly- to be the group's own "Boomslang"- a total loser to whom even common gang members were a threat. So when the costume came out looking too plain, I added stuff. And then added more stuff. And then a bit MORE stuff. Now, he somehow mixes "too plain" (two-color suit), with "too busy" (fins sticking off in odd places, a fin-head).
(third row)
NURSE SHARK- I wanted one to be a "Shark Mermaid" kind of thing, but be monstrous instead of hot. Well, the body's on point, but she's a total butterface. I wanted to mess around with the colors on her clamshell bra & hair, otherwise she'd just be a gray shark chick. Too plain, y'know?
SAND SHARK- A Sandman-type guy who usually takes shark form, I guess. SOME HAVE MORE THOUGHT THAN OTHERS PUT INTO THEM, OKAY??
KNIFEFISH- The group's own "Diamondback"- a bad girl gone good, who can be "saved" by the virtuous male hero. Total nerd fetish shit, right? Except in THIS case, she's a "Terra"- a deliberate plant meant to find out the hero's secrets. Also her power is throwing knives (Knifefish are actually the animals for which we get the "electric eel", who is unrelated to the Moray Eel).
UNNAMED FISH LADY- I can't remember what I was gonna call her. She basically looks like some fanart I saw for
Monster High's Lagoona Blue, but with a simple black swimsuit (odd-skinned women kind of need simple costumes). I added the red arm-fins based off of a rejected design for Amphitrite, the wife of Poseidon.
LANTERNFISH- The third member of the group's "Bad Girls Inc." inner circle of friends. She's black and she has light powers. That's about all I got so far.
(bottom row)
CARPET SHARK- A camouflaged suit-wearing guy. I kinda like how the "mottled" look came out.
MAKO- A weaker minion for his boss, the guy next to him...
GREAT WHITE- A huge South African hunter-turned-monster. He's usually unrelated to this group, but gets recruited because he's "on theme"- unlike the others, he is DEFINITELY not a Jobber- one of that world's most dangerous solo supervillains.
BARRACUDA- A Barracuda-man. Though he has that classic evil/goofy face, I don't mind how his grey coloring looks here- kinda "silvery".
MEGAMOUTH- One of the latest creations (because of the poses and the room left, I skooshed some of them together)- a guy who activates a vortex into his "mouth" that leads victims to somewhere.
SIXGILL- A guy in a pretty cool suit, inspired by a
Mutants & Masterminds character, and the
Justice League Unlimited version of one of Aquaman's baddies.
