The MARVEL characters REDESIGN thread

[MessyPandas]

Heres my designs for Vulture, Rhino and Blackcat:

 

[The Navigator]

Not diggin' that red turtleneck on Kurt. Seems to restrained for his character. Really like the dark wifebeater on Wolverine, though.

To M.Panda:

With the Rhino one, is that a cut-away view where we're seeing inside a big helmet, or what? I'm a little confused. Like Vulture's back harness...a little reminiscent of SM2 Doc Ock.

 

[Artistsean]

I admit I am not up on Nightcrawler's clothing, but I tried some redoes:

Let me know what you think.

I still like the turtle neck because it limits the amount of makeup needed if most of his arms and neck are covered.
and in his human form he still has blue hair and wears yellow glasses. (hologram).

X-Men (live action) Season Two
Original Cast:

plus,
the new additions:

These are the new students, added to the original cast. But not all remain. John Proudstar dies in battle during Season Two, Shiro Yoshida leaves during Season Two, Kitty Pride and Anna Marie join later during Season Two (at separate times).
And at least one of the original five leaves (like Iceman or Angel, maybe even Beast), but Cyclops, Jean, and one of the other original members remain along with Xavier.

Moria McTaggert also joins the show.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

lookin good... though what i would do is...

give Peter his red and yellow (no reason why he's the only one from that season that seems to wear that shirt...

and i'd try giving thunderbird a vest (no shirt on under) and a tattoo on his chest that matches that pattern on it.

 

[Artistsean]

With Peter, I was trying to show that the Xavier School Uniforms aren't just forgotten totally. They are still around in one way or another. Whether its Peter wearing a shirt, Banshee wearing a school jacket, someone wearing the X-Hat, or Scott wearing the full uniform from time to time. I used Colossus to show that because I didn't know how to dress him, other than just regular clothes. And I didn't want to just recreate everyone's comic book costumes into shirts. He probably does have a red and yellow shirt, in fact I will probably design it. Jusdt not right now. Later.

With John I was really proud of his shirt, I thought it worked. But like all the other characters he wears lots of different shirts. What I was going for with him was Dave Cockrum's original design:

Just a regular looking guy, big and strong, but regular looking. Just a shirt and jeans guy.
I wouldn't object, however, to a Thunderbird Tattoo. As long as it would fit with the TV show's character.

Coming up next:
Season Two's Brotherhood of Mutants (lead by Mystique)

 

[Artistsean]

So I just finished Mystique:

Here is what I was thinking with her. She is a weapons expert, and combat expert, and really military like. She truly believes in Magneto's vision, but is always looking out for her own interests. Unlike her movie version, this Mystique wears clothes. She usually wears some sort of military combat type outfit. When she morphs her clothing morphs with her. Unless its something she has added to her person or put on (like a belt with a gun). Then she would have to remove that.
Her wardrobe varies, but she usually wears some sort of pants (military camouflage, or black leather, or whatever) and a shirt like a tank top or something. Maybe most or all of her Brotherhood wears military type gear, they are militarily trained by Mystique.
Her skin is blue, but not scaly. Her hair looks like regular hair (not slicked back unless she wants to). And her eyes are yellow, done with contacts.
Her morphing effect can be done the way most TV shows, like Buffy, Angel, or Hereos, and maybe even how Smallville, does it. Film one actor in front of a green screen, then film the other actor in front of a green screen, then have one transition into the next (like how they do the vampires on Buffy or Angel,

Spoiler

or how Peter changed from his future self to his past self and back.

just a really quick transition, with a little morphing sound effect.)

 

[Artistsean]

Here is a new one from Season Two,

Dominikos Ioannis Petrakis/ Avalanche
I posted my version next to the original (how he looked in the comics). He wears a helmet because he is safety consiouse. His powers effect the earth but don't shield him. He also wears a bullet proof jacket once he joins the Brotherhood.

You should give her white camo pants to go with that black shirt. But I like the background on her character. Looking forward to this show.

 

[Artistsean]

Mystique does have a variety of clothing, so her pants may not be out of the question. thanks for liking her character and I too would be eager to see this show.

Also based on this:

Spoiler

Irene Adler/ Destiny
She is an elderly woman, old enough to have gray hair and wrinkles. Her power of seeing into the future has also left her blind to regular sight. Her powers vary. Sometimes she can see several minutes/hours/days/weeks/years into the future. But she has no real control over what she sees, how much of it, or when she sees these visions.
Originally Mystique partnered with Irene because of her powers, always looking out for herself, but eventually it led to them becoming lovers.
This also is an insight to how old Mystique really is.
Irene is not a warrior, or used on the team for combat. Mystique leads the new Brotherhood, but Irene is the strategist. Mystique uses Irene's visions to plan the Brotherhood's actions.
All her predictions have come true, including the prediction that Rogue would betray the Brotherhood and join Xavier. She also predicted her death.
Her character dies sometime during Season Two. (and Rogue leaves the team during Season Two as well, to join the X-Men.) This could lead to the downfall of the new Brotherhood.
Irene began writing a book of her visions, who knows when. She only told Mystique what Irene thought she should know, or wanted to know. But her visions reach farther than anyone thought. Well into the future. (maybe even into Bishop's time line.(?))
Irene is blind, without her glasses the actress playing her wears white contacts, to make her eyes look empty.
Irene wears regular clothes, never once does she wear a costume or even combat gear. She sometimes wears a cloak with a hood. She also uses a cane to help her walk.
Her character shouldn't be evil or bad. She should have her reasons for aligning herself with Mystique and the Brotherhood. Even if they are just because she resents mankind, but it could also be something along the lines of its part of her visions.

More to come, like Pyro.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Technically, Mystique has no clothing.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i really like the dress designs for destiny

 

[Artistsean]

Thanks, I based it off of this as much as I could.

Spoiler

 

[The Navigator]

That one on the end is freaky.

Look forward to Pyro.

 

[Artistsean]

Thanks. Here he is from Season Two's Brotherhood, Pyro:
I couldn't find a micro hero of him though, not really.

Spoiler

My idea for him is that he basically wears regular clothes (probably light weight clothing because of the heat.) and then some welding goggles and his fire hand tools.
His hand tools are simple (similar to the ones in the movie X3):

Spoiler

Another idea for him is that a lot of his clothing is covered in burn marks or ash, and that he himself gets burned a lot too. He could even have a permanent burned scar on him, like on his face.
He is a real pyro, loves fire and burning stuff. He loves watching fire, and isn't exactly careful with it. Often getting WAY to close to a flame.

He could also maybe have a thick Australian accent.

 

[Artistsean]

Here is Mystique's Brotherhood from season two:

Raven Darkholme/ Mystique- founder of the new Brotherhood, and leader. The new Brotherhood is meant to carry on Magneto's vision for Homo Superior.
Irene Adler/ Destiny - she sort of guides the group, and plots their actions
Anna Marie/ Rogue- she is Mystique's "daughter" and her secret weapon.
Dominikos Ioannis Petrakis/ Avalanche
Fred Dukes/ Blob- apparently believed in Magneto's vision so much that he joined the new Brotherhood.
John Allerdyce/ Pyro

The season starts with Anna Marie "Rogue" in the Brotherhood of Mutants, but even while there she could be shown to have private doubts. She later leaves the group and joins Xavier's school sometime during Season Two.
Irene "Destiny" is killed, also sometime during Season Two.


I also made these,

Dominikos "Avalanche" in more civilian clothing but still wearing his gear.
Sort of a "what if they had to go into action before he had time to get ready" sort of thing.

 

[tyler-durden]

Hey, Artistsean could you try and draw these instead of using Micro heroes or whatever they're called? I would really like to see Pyro and Avanlanche.

 

[The Navigator]

Are we getting a "Days of Future Past" story for season 2?

I like the welding goggles on Pyro, but the gloves remind me of Shocker, for some reason. I like the simplicity of it, but...I don't know how to say what I want, so I'll stop. Good job!

 

[Artistsean]

I had planned to do something like that. Like in Heroes future stories would be doable and fun, and they do them in so so many X-Men comics. So its almost necessary. So why not.

Season Two: Forge

Spoiler

In my idea the X-Men meet the man called Forge as a traitor, working for Trask. He either designed most or all of the Sentinel robot. He maybe designed them, designed most of them, and maybe even built a lot of it.
I imagine his power being similar to Mica's on "Heroes", being able to automatically understand mechanical things, and have an almost intimate knowledge of how they work. Being insanely far beyond anyone in terms of robotics.
But maybe he never knew he was a mutant, working for Trask.
Xavier and the X-Men make him see the error of his ways and he joins Xavier's school to repent sort of.
Without Forge, Trask isn't lost since he already has Forge's designs for the Sentinels and their weapons.
While there he boosts things like their security (which Beast had already boosted, so now its even beyond that), their "Danger Room," Cerebro, and things like that.

Having Forge's powers would excuse why robot trackers are possible, why his robot limb is possible, and why things like holographic danger rooms, and Cerebro, are all possible.

He is a Native American of the Cheyenne nation.
Forge has one robot limb (like an hand). Its hardly ever seen, but when it is seen it isn't that complex looking. But he usually covers it up with a glove or something.

 

[Artistsean]

It would be fun to show different cultures and such.

Season Two's Morlocks:

Calisto:
I read somewhere that she used to be a very beautiful woman, but she got scarred. It also said that she no longer trusts society. So I was thinking her mutant powers, her scar, and her not trusting society are connected.

Ape

Some names escape me at the moment, can you tell who is who?

Calaban

Not pictured are Leech and Artie. (there are many more, but these two are important.)

In my idea for them on the live action X-Men show,
they are people whose lives are destroyed by their mutant powers. They either ran away, lost their jobs and families, are too dangerous to be around others, or are simply to freakish to fit in with others.
They consist of a lot of young runaways, homeless, and the like.
Callisto has made a community for these mutants.
Unaware of Magneto or Xavier, Callisto created a place for these mutants to stay, hidden away from society.
Her Society is a mix of the young, the homeless, the middle class, anyone who was forced out of their life by their mutant powers and by society. There is a whole community there, not just five or even ten, but more like thirty or more.
They are also always on the move, they stay in abandoned buildings, foreclosed homes, empty subways, condemned buildings and houses,

In this idea, instead of one of Callisto kidnapping an X-Men for her mate, Xavier and his students travel there when Xavier, using Cerebro, finds them. He wants to offer his Mansion as a place for them to stay. He invites them to his school.
For effects we could do some freaky mutants, but nothing too far out there that would cost too much.
Almost all of them should have some freakishness to them, so that they don't look exactly human in one way or another.

 

[Juggertha]

Not much of a re-design, but done in a WB/Disneyesq way

[Artistsean]

Season Three
New students join, as more of the originals leave, and maybe even some others.
One new student is Betsy Braddock, a sort of foreign exchange student from England. She arrives with her brother(?) who came to see her off.

Betsy Braddock/ Psylocke

She is on one, maybe two, episodes in her blond English body before she accidentally switches bodies during an attack from an assassin sent to attack the school (or something that would send the assassin into the school and cause Betsy to be in a fight with said assassin.)
Betsy switches bodies, maybe right before her blond English body dies. She is now forever trapped in a different woman's body, an Japanese assassin's body. But in her eyes there is still a sense that it is Betsy.

So the character starts out as one actress, and after only two or so episodes she is replaced by another actress. (maybe use contacts). She even wears the same style of clothing.
Her character maybe even retains some of the assassin's combat skills, but must hone the rest while training with Logan.

 

[Artistsean]

X-Men live action TV series,

Joining the cast in Season Three is Remy [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]LeBeau[/SIZE][/FONT]/ Gambit:

I also used this as reference,

Spoiler

and this as a starter point

Spoiler

He joins under mysterious circumstances. His background is very sketchy. He has lived in New Orleans as a thief for most of his life.
He is very similar to Wolverine, a bad boy anti hero.
He has long hair, but not too long. He looks like he hasn't shaved in a day or two, and his has red eyes.
He, as a character, is incredibly charming but you never really know if you can trust him. But for some reason he is very likable.
As it turns out, later on, the Xavier students find out that he was not only involved, but he hand picked the Marauders, and lead them in the Morlock Massacre.
It is even revealed later that he has direct ties to Mr. Sinister. Sinister (who is also revealed to also have strong ties to Scott and Alex Summers' life and powers.) is also revealed to be

After this reveal, he sort of leaves the X-Men. He becomes free agent of sorts. And even later on he rejoins the X- Men, still unsure if they can trust him.




The main villain of Season Three is,
Mr. Sinister (AKA Nathanial Essex)

Mr. Sinister acts from behind the scenes at first. but later gets directly involved. He is behind the mutation of the Morlocks, they are his "failed experiments." He uses Gambit and the Marauders to try and wipe out his failures. It is also revealed, possibly even later on, that he boosted Scott Summers' and Alex Summers' powers. He has been tampering with them since they were infants. Maybe even responsible for their parents deaths. He also boosted Remy's powers, and even gave powers to some of the Marauders and boosted those that already had them.
Sinister somehow understands the genetics that makes people humans or mutants. He has somehow learned how to give out powers, boost them, and even (maybe) take them away.
He is very pale, with jet back hair, and red blood shot eyes. He dresses very elaborately in all black and his marked on his forehead with a red diamond.
His laboratories look eerie and maybe a little like Dr. Frankenstein's lab (old fashioned).
His goals aren't clear at first, this season all we know is that he likes to experiment and use the world as his laboratory and use mutants especially as his test subjects. He doesn't seem to care about anyone or anything beyond his own wants and desires.
His interests in Scott and Jean are as yet unknown except that he claims they are the key, their mutant powers.

Mr. Sinister is the main villain during Season Three, with Magneto still around as well as some of the other major enemies like Kelly or the Juggernaut, but after Season Three he becomes somewhat of a side character.
He doesn't go away, but he isn't center stage. Much like Spike from Buffy, he sticks around for a long time.

 

[Artistsean]

Here is Season Three's Marauders:

Spoiler

The group are a motley crew of super powered assassins and serial killers. Some are mutants, while others are mutants who had their powers boosted by Mr. Sinister, and still some are humans given mutant powers by Mr. Sinister.
The team is lead by Remy "Gambit" [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]LeBeau, who has had his powers boosted by Sinister.
Also on the team is:
Victor Creed/ Sabretooth
[/SIZE][/FONT]Philippa Sontag/ [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Arclight
[/SIZE][/FONT]Kodiak Noatak/ Harpoon
John Greycrow/ Scalphunter
Vertigo
Michael Baer/ Blackbuster
Janos Quested/ Riptide
Kim Il Sung/ Scrambler
and
Malice (possessing the body of Lorna Dane)

In this I was thinking that Blockbuster was genetically mutated by Mr. Sinister into a hulking beast (which is why he has a caveman like brow), other mutants like Gambit have had their powers boosted by Sinister, but some like Sabretooth haven't been touched. (although this could be wear Sinister gives Creed some upgrades like some adimentium in his bones.) Scalphunter is meant to have tattoos all over his (the grayish markings. But Sinister has also stuck some techno implants into him and are very visible on one arm. Harpoon is also meant to have a tattoos on one arm.
Lorna Dane's character (and the actress playing her) returns during this storyline but is possessed by the bodiless mutant known as Malice. Malice uses Lorna's magnetic abilities for Mr. Sinister (and perhaps even get Lorna's powers boosted by Sinister.)
They are sent after Sinister's "failed experiments" and kill many but not all. Some escape and reach the Xavier school mansion. (perhaps some get away thanks to Gambit, who never intended to be part of this or has had a change of heart.)
Whenever the Marauders fight the X-Men it is very intense and maybe even some of them are killed (the Marauders I mean.)
(This could even be where Warren leaves the show, during the fight his wings are crippled when Harpoon pins him to the wall. He looses his wings but decides to use his company he inherited to help Xavier's cause. Or maybe not)
