Here is Season Three's Marauders:
Marauders_by_Keith_Pollard_1.jpg
Maruaders2A.png
Maruaders2B.png
Maruaders2C.png

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.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=arial,sans-serif]Also on the team is:[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=arial,sans-serif]Victor Creed/ Sabretooth[/FONT][/SIZE]
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)

these are real nice, whose the third from the left in the last row, liking just about all of the designs
 
[SIZE=-1][FONT=arial,sans-serif] I listed them in order,
from your left (looking at the computer) to right.
First its Gambit, then Sabretooth[/FONT][/SIZE], [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Arclight[/SIZE][/FONT], Harpoon, Scalphunter, Vertigo, then Blackbuster, Riptide, Scrambler, and Malice.

Maybe you meant Riptide? He has long gray hair, and a see through tank top on.

Thanks for liking them, for some like Vertigo I used the Morlock costumes from the movie. (Arclight was taken from someone's already made version and I just colored her costume to be black leather.) But for most I came up with myself, like Harpoon or Scalphunter.
 
Season Three's

Lorna Dane/ Polaris
Lorna2.png

Lorna is a young woman who discovers she is a mutant with the power of magnetism. At the same time her hair turns green (almost like her powers emerging was such a shock to her system that it turned her hair green.)
She doesn't know much about mutants, but she does know that she shares a power with the most dangerous mutant, Magneto.
She also finds out that she is adopted (?), and thinks this must mean that Magneto is her father.
She is sort of girly, wears pinks and stuff. Her hair color doesn't look like she did it herself, or that she is wearing a wig. It should look like real, natural hair, only green.
She doesn't become a regular cast member, only appearing here and there. On one of her returns to the show she is a member of the Marauders (possessed against her will by Malice, another mutant, that is using her body and powers.)

Alex Summers/ Havok
alexsummers2.png

Scott finds out that his brother didn't die along with his parents. Perhaps they find him when his powers first manifest, and he is spotted by Cerebro (or perhaps its part of a longer backstory of this season, "the search for Alex Summers.")
Like Lorna Alex doesn't become a regular either, but does show up from time to time.
He wears a black shirt with the circular symbol from the comics. His powers resemble the character "Concussion" from the Tim Allen movie "Zoom's Academy" When he uses his powers his torso (starting where his symbol is), his hands, and his face light up. At first he can't control his powers. But with the help of Xavier's school he can.
 
I meant Arclight, thanks for letting me know, I like Lorna's 4th costume
 
Liking havok's design but he should be a little more scruffy looking, not so clean cut like his bro.

OK, I thought it might have been Arclight too. Arclight or Riptide.
So you like Lorna's costume when she is possessed by Malice heh?

The way I got started was when kcs posted some of kcs's own. I asked about them and kcs sent me some templates.
What you can do is check on google. type in Micro Heroes, or even Micro Heroes templates.
I used Windows Paint program, with alot of zoom.
Hope that helps.

Liking havok's design but he should be a little more scruffy looking, not so clean cut like his bro.

Your right, he did need to be more scruffy.
So here we go:
alexsummers3.png

I did some designs of him with spiky hair or messy hair, and some with slicked back hair, but he now has the beginnings of a goatee.

and now here is another from Season Three:
Brian Braddock/ Captain Britain
How he looks in the comics,
CapMSH377.jpg

and this
77846-46831-captain-britain_super.jpg


and Based off of this
braddock.jpg
BrianBraddock2.png

My idea is that when his sister Betsy (AKA Psylocke) comes to America to attend Charles Xavier's school Brian comes along with her to visit.
He wouldn't stay more than a day or two, while he drops off his sister and checks out the school. His visit wouldn't even take up a whole episode unless the story idea centered around him and his sister for some reason.
This would be the "Pre-Captain Britain" Brian Braddock.
His character could even return to visit with his sister, and possibly even become more of a regular depending on his popularity. His Betsy, sister, and maybe even Kitty and Kurt could go visit Brian in England.
I designed him wearing his dress clothes for when he first arrives, and some of his casual clothes.
A shirt of the Union Jack and the lion symbol.
As for his character, "he is really rigid. The way that he stands and the way he moves around. He is totally humorless and not really competent for being a hero."
A sort of quote from Alan Davis about how he and Alan Moore (I think it was) redesigned Captain Britain all those years ago.
His character in the show doesn't seem like an obvious hero, but that doesn't meant that he isn't and that if his character returned or became a more regular cast member, that he wouldn't prove himself.
(so, for example, if his character became popular enough he could return and help the Xavier School against some enemy.

I do want to see him return to visit his sister, after she has switched bodies with a Japanese assassin.

thank you, I always feel like that's the biggest different difference between them Scott is clean cut, and does everything the way they are supposed to be done. While Alex, was some what scruffy and followed his own rules, but still was a pretty boy like his brother.
 
Glad you liked the redesign. And I agree.

Well, it looks like Season Three will be about Family Ties and Siblings,
We have Betsy Braddock and her Brother Brian showing up in Season Three, as well as Gambit and Sinister showing up and having ties to Scott and Alex' family and past, we also get the Morlocks who are sort of one giant family, and then we have Cane Marco AKA the Juggernaut returning along with Sean Cassidy's cousin "Black" Tom Cassidy:
btccutoff.jpg
blacktom.gif
TomCassiday2.png

He is a prominent member of a terrorist group, unlike the Brotherhood, who work as terrorists to try and further mutant rights, his terrorist group is political and to further their governmental plans. (Not mutant based.)
He is briefly seen during Season One, when the X-Men face off against Sean Cassidy. But now he returns, possibly no longer with that terrorist group. Now he has aligned himself with the Juggernaut, Cane Marko. They both look out for each other, but both Cane and Tom are always looking out for their own best interests.
His power only works when he channels it through direct contact with wood. So he always carries a wooden cane. Without any wood he would be powerless. But not harmless, he is a highly skilled fighter.
I was thinking this could be the symbol of the terrorist group:
TomCassiday3.png
 
Season Three:
During Season Three the Human side starts and "Official" Governmental response to the whole Mutant thing.
This is where Valerie Cooper is introduced:
Cooper.jpg
ValerieCooper2.png

She is like Amanda Waller from the JLU cartoon show, sort of. Her job is similar, and she has a similar attitude.
Valerie presents a tough front. She is a realist. She doesn't hate mutants just because. But she does see the threat they could pose and that some have posed. her first concern is for the regular civilians.
She has also no real experience with mutants first hand.
She is introduced during Season Three, but its shown that she has been there since day one. She was even there when the Sentinels were unofficially used.
Now, in Season Three, she is an official member of an official group assigned to the Mutant Crisis by the President. The Group also contains Senator Kelly. She could even have a scene or two with Kelly where you see that she isn't as closed minded as he is.
Overtime she has run ins and more time with actual mutants, and eventually switches over to Xavier's way of thinking. Not his side but his thinking. Her first concern becomes the well being of all humans, mutant and non-mutant. (this change in her character could take place over the coarse of a few seasons though. I don't see it happening all in one season.)
She is a youngish woman, possibly around 30 something. She is tall and blond, and wears suits and such.
She is a tough woman, she has to be with the job she in. But she knows how to take care of herself without any powers. She has used a gun before and can during the coarse of the show.

Season Four:
My ideas for seasons of the live action X-Men show begin to blur. I mean they blur for what seasons, I am not sure where they should go.
But one idea for Season Four is to do the Days of Futures Past storyline.

And although I know, or I think I know, that this isn't where he comes in in the comics I figured why not introduce him here during the future story stuff.
Lucas Bishop:
Bishop2B.png

I Have him next to how he looked for the comics, for comparison and such.
When he first shows up on the X-Mansion doorsteps, he arrives in a tattered and dirty uniform. And although he claims to be from the future, no one can really be sure, he is too rattled and his mind is too scrambled from the time jump for Professor Xavier to read it.
But he does wear an X-men symbol.
He is branded with an "M" for Mutant, has a bar code on him (like his arm, inner wrist, back of the neck, or something).
His hair is also shaved off.
When they bring him in they give him some old Xavier Institute school uniforms that they students used to wear during Season One.

One fun Idea I had was to have Bishop have a few costume changes, sort of like in the JLU episode "the once and future thing" Luca's suddenly could have a different costume and be from a different timeline.
Like he could be in tattered clothes, and suddenly he is in black leather with a futuristic X symbol on his chest. He would even changes to act like he is from that future. Because to him he is, and always has been, and has never been that other Bishop.
The later he could change back, or change to another version of a possible Bishop, for example have dreadlocks and a beard and trashy looking armor.
One version could even have Bishop without a M, barcode, or any scars.
And it would just be fun to have one version have a mullet and red bandanna like his comic persona's first appearence.
Or
Perhaps he could come back to the past a few times during his time on the show and each time he returns he looks different, because his helping the X-Men did change his future and like I said earlier he was never that other Bishop.
When Bishop uses his power his body glows (especially his hands [mostly], and his face [especially his eyes, nostrils, and mouth]). Its similar, but not exactly, like the Atomic power on Heroes.

This Season is also where we meet the possible Future versions of other characters, like Mimic:
Calvin.png
futureMimic2b.png
futureMimic2bc.png

Either that, or Mimic returns as a new member of Mystique's all new Brotherhood.
 
This was a redesign over at project rooftop I thought it was a pretty different take.

I really, really like those ideas. :up:

You should do days of future past-esque designs for your characters.

Townsend was the concept designer for "The Batman" right? That really shows through in this design. I think it looks great. (other than the eyes on the mask. they could stand to be a little smaller and more angular.) but I LOVE the way he draws logans face.
