codename:zack An Original Superhero Concept.

[CJ]

I hope this is not breaking any rules. It's original artwork, but it's from a superhero concept of mine, and this is a forum for superheroes.

Characters/concept created June 2001.

My superhero concept is called codename:zack. It's a bit different than usual superheroes. For one, the hero doesn't wear a costume. Just a striped hoodie that he obscures his face with to conceal his identity.

Here's the synopsis..

What is codename:zack?

codename:zack follows the story of a human-looking robot named Zack. Following a terrorist attack on US Soil, which turned
the entire state of California into smog-covered ruins, a secret Government Agency, known only as 'The Facility' wanted a
weapon to aid them, should the country go to war. After several brilliant scientists failed to create this weapon, they
located a man named Raymond. Now a washed-up, alcoholic loser living in a filthy apartment, Ray is promised a very rewarding,
but mysterious job. He is taken to the Facility where he creates Zack, a living, breathing machine with the appearance of a
human boy. Feeling isolated from the world, and not knowing what his purpose is in life, Zack escaped his creators, and found
himself in New York City, where he made friends and became enrolled in school, while witnessing firsthand the crime consuming
the city. It wasn't long before the Facility tracked Zack down and Zack realized what his goal in life is. Now Zack leads a
double-life of a normal child by day, and a vigilante by night. Zack faces many deadly foes, while also dealing with the pressures
of school-life such as schoolwork, bullies and meeting girls.

An outcast at school, Zack's only real friend is a goth named Melissa, an annoying girl with an obvious crush on him. However,
Zack does not share the same feelings for her, and considers her to be a real pest at times. Despite this, the two often hangout
and he has grown to tolerate her company.

Zack is often aided in his vigilante-life by his creator, Ray. The two constantly bicker and argue, but deep down they care for each other.
Despite Ray's rude demeanor, and sarcastic personality, he has a very large intellect and often upgrades Zack's system with new
abilities and creates new weapons to help him in battle.

Zack's archenemy is Zane, a robotic human like himself who escaped the Facility years ago, and has witnessed the corruption and immorality
inhabiting the world. Devoid of any faith in humanity, Zane feels the only way to make the world a better place is to rid it of mankind. While
Zack is a constant thorn in Zane's side, he has no desire to kill him, seeing Zack as his brother. His ultimate goal to to show Zack what mankind
is really like in the hopes of turning Zack over to his side. An elusive figure who seems to appear out of nowhere and disappear once more whenever
his plans have either failed or suceeded. Zane's past is wrapped in mystery. While Zane reveals certain parts of his past to Zack, the Facility reveals
others. With two conflicting stories, Zack is left to wonder if Zane is telling the truth, or lying. Is the Facility telling the truth, or is it just a big
coverup as part of a much larger conspiracy?

Zack often ponders what secrets go on in the mysterious vault located within the Facility, and wonders who is running the whole place.

Zack lives a very busy, confusing and dangerous life.

Part-human. Part-Machine. codenamed:zack.

Thank you. I'm aware of who Stan Lee is, and I've heard of Steve Ditko, but I'm not sure what you mean by that.

A yet un-named Witch villain. Her origin story keeps changing, and I can't seem to settle on one. Hm.

I'm still working on her origin. An unnamed villain with a "Witch" thing going on about her.
