Superheroes of the BEHOLDERVERSE

We pause our usual updates (again?!) to share with you a little introduction, an “intro chart” of our many friends that can be found at the Fortress of Evening! (A glorious penthouse headquarters in Midtown, in the Big Apple!) We have two main groups, Captain Evening and the Odds, and Section P, the latter originally from the UK and a brainchild of my colleague James Damaged.

Furthermore, there are many other guests that visit more or less regularly, unaffiliated or from other groups (below with green caption boxes), we present you here a completely random representation of three of the brave and beloved fellow fighters for good.

They frequently come from other corners of the Multiverse, and even other creators – Mixtli is by tulio19mx, Queen Betty by Jay Epps, Valor Girl by Johann-Octavius Gans. We must also not forget to point out that Ionic Angel and Burst Lion are from the creator of the same name.

Centennia Fights !

 

Earth’s Most Powerful Hero in Action!

Not just the Most Powerful, she’s also one of the Oldest heroes of this planet, certainly the oldest who is (at least partially) human. To her advantage, she’s also been positively ageless. Otherwise, she might have been offended to us for hinting at her age.

The BEHOLDER has been aware of some more ancient beings on this planet, some of which may be heroic in nature, though they cannot really be called part of the human race.

Villain Vacation by tulio19mx

 The summer is not quite over, even our villains are still enjoying some nice weather and fun at the pool! This image was finished and colored by fellow Deviant @tulio19mx, based on a sketch by your truly. We’re featuring Red Vicious, Dr Brain, and a few characters by my friends. Lady Valmorri (right) is by James Damaged, Lamprey (bug in front) is by Johnny Gans with help again from James Damaged, Harvester is by Burstlion, and Mixtlicoatl is by the artist, tulio. Thank you again !!!

Odds In The Water

 Life’s a beach! At least in the summer. The Odds enjoy a break for some splashy fun, when their schedule allows. While often at the Clothes-Optional places, The Odds are not discriminating – as long as there are good vibes!

Featuring: Ionic Angel by Burstlion, Merv the Griffin, Captain Evening, Aideen O’Neil by James Damaged, and Living Skeleton.

Ms Perfect & Co in: Part of this World (Cover/ Teaser)

 NEXT: We’re beginning a brand-new story, hot off the drawing board: It tells the story of a young heroine from the future of a different reality struggling to fit into our world! But there’s a lot more! We introduce a new villain! A previously unexplored NYC borough! And we follow Centennia and daughter, to resolve a crisis only she can resolve! So much to look forward to!

This visual here is by tulio19mx, based on pencils by yours truly. The other characters actually don’t appear in the story (oops), so this should be seen more as a teaser, rather than a cover, as I started this before I did the comic. But I think tulio did a fabulous job, don’t you agree??

(Shoddy type treatment by yours cosmically).

Young Protectors on Break

Americana Jr and Young Herakles enjoying some rest in the park. A.Jr sure is happy to have ALL of YH’s attention for once, as she has a secret crush on her teammate.

A former teen model and a junior bodybuilder, we’ve seen their latest adventures in full here on THE BEHOLDER, a story that tells the true founding of the main team, the All-New Protectors, and their junior offshoot plays a part in it:

https://cosmicbeholder.blogspot.com/search?q=Protectors&max-results=20&by-date=true&m=1

These Young Protectors were originally conceived as a marketing ploy, models and teen actors that could go to PR events as the supposed understudies, while the “real” Protectors would fly around saving the world.

Never was it truly planned to bring them into the proper team once they completed their training. But these young individuals have feelings and ambitions, too, and dream of heroic acts, of being a true inspiration for the young population!

So much so, that a previous third member literally “exploded” from feeling disrespected. While that third member has been MIA, these two have tried to carry on as well as they can. Let’s wish them luck!

Protectors Under New Management

Kate Kerrigan became Director of the government Department for Superheroics through a bit of luck, but she has proven her worth since.

After her predecessors’ two fairly unsuccessful attempts to form a government-sponsored super-team of titanic strength, she has put together a smaller team, but with some high-profile and quite popular heroes. This has boosted the Protectors’ popularity and the public’s trust in the institution.

(You can read the latest story with them here on the blog: https://cosmicbeholder.blogspot.com/search?q=All-New+Protectors&max-results=20&by-date=true&m=1

Meanwhile, in today’s post here, Ms. Kerrigan can be seen with two of her four All-New, All-Different Protectors: Max Atom, field leader of the team and a famous hero originally from Earth-K, and Terry Tornado, the former sports star and part-time spokesperson for BoFlex products, look like they are on their way to an important meeting, perhaps hearing about their next mission. Let’s wish them luck, and Godspeed! We’re counting on you!

"Earth-K, Anna Atom, and Max Atom were created by Michael P. and are available for use by anyone, with only one condition: This paragraph must be included in any publication involving Earth-K, Anna Atom, and Max Atom in order that others may use these properties as they wish."

The Odds in Monkey Business !

 A special transmission from the BEHOLDERverse! Some Odds seem to have gotten themselves into some simian-related shenanigans. In a dark alley of an undisclosed warehouse area in one of the outer boroughs of New York City, they are holding their own though, using all the special capacities at their disposal. Aside from regular “Odds” Merv the Griffin and Captain Evening, we’re featuring the speedster “Rush” (by Johann-Octavia Gans”, and “Lady Venus” by Jay Epps, with much gratitude!

Powerful Sisterhood

Even the most cosmic of beings knows by now: What’s a superhero(ine) life without friends? Having the support of your peers is not only needed to stay alive in this dangerous business, but super-friends are also good for your super-soul, of course!

The following story is a bit of a follow-up to an older adventure where these three were defeated and captured by the ultra-powerful Lady Wyvern (during the “Super-Bachelor” Saga). Since then, there seems to be an invisible bond between them!

Today’s “cover” art is by BadAttitude-ink on DeviantArt. Our adventure features the mighty Valor Girl and Wonder Warrior by Johnny Gans, and Lash’Ira by Tony Smith. 

Starting in a couple days. Stay tuned, and enjoy!
