This page is devoted to the newest skins that I've added to the site. I'd like to welcome new skinners Mr. & Mrs. Aratak of Aratak Studios. who have graciously allowed me to host some of their wonderful skins on my site. They are definitely skinners after my own heart, as they like to do the strange and obscure characters as much as I do.
AMERICAN MAID
American Maid is certainly one of the most competent heroes in The City of the teevee version of The Tick! Apparently a government operative,
American Maid fought crime in the animated cartoon only and did not appear in the original New England comic!
Base Mesh/Skin: Female_Basic - using the Gryphon's Generic Muscle Skin. This skin was created by Mrs. Aratak.
DEVIL DINOSAUR
Devil Dinosaur...well what can you say about a mutant red Tyrannosaur who has fought Godzilla, joined and off-shoot of the X-Men, and has a small hairy boy as his partner? Base Mesh/Skin: TRex - using the Base Skin for that mesh.
THE EEL I
Leopold Stryke led a busy little criminal career, duking it out with the Human Torch solo before teaming up with luminaries such as the Ox, Plantman,
the Scarecrow, and the Porcupine. His eel-suit was greased for fast escapes and allowed him to fire bolts of electricity at his foes. He was eventually
murdered by a henchman of the Enforcer.
Base Mesh/Skin: Male_Basic - using the Gryphon's Generic Muscle Skin. This skin was created by Mrs. Aratak.
FLEX MENTALLO
Flex Mentallo was a comic book creation of Wallace Sage. The Man of Muscle Mystery was brought to real-life in the pages of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol (in a battle with the Men From Nowhere) and Flex assisted the Doom Patrol and Danny the Street on several surreal adventures.
Base Mesh/Skin: Male_Basic_Effects - using the Gryphon's Generic Muscle Skin.
MANO (OF THE FATAL FIVE)
Enemy of the Legion of Super Heroes, Mano was born with the abilty to disintegrate matter using a glowing disk on his right hand. Feared member of the dread Fatal Five, Manos is a mass murderer of the highest order, having disintegrated his home planet and killed everyone on it with his unspeakable power.
Base Mesh/Skin: Male_Belt - using the Gryphon's Generic Muscle Skin. This skin was created by Mrs. Aratak.
THE PORCUPINE
Alexander Gentry, weapons designer for the US Government, took to wearing a quill-studded battlesuit he designed as the dread Porcupine. He took
dreadful beatings from Giant-Man, the X-Men, and eventually took drubbings from most of the heroes in the Marvel Universe. Deciding to retire, he
attempted to sell the porcupine armor but found no bidders. Finally, Gentry arranged to sell the suit to Captain America and participated in
a sting operation against the Serpent Society, during which he was killed. The Porcupine Armor is displayed in Avengers Mansion as "Battle
Armor of the Porcupine - Honored Foe of the Avengers"
Base Mesh/Skin: Male_Rotund - using the Gryphon's Generic Muscle Skin. This skin was created by Mr. Aratak.
VOLCANO MAN
Probably the most fearsome of the dread Challenger-Haters, Volcano Man wears a "Thermo Belt" to control his incredible molten heat and to
communicate with the other members of his club. In a bit of poor planning, the central button on the belt is a device which saps his heat and immobilizes him. Base Mesh/Skin: Male_Hulking - using the Gryphon's Generic Muscle Skin. This skin was created by Mr. Aratak.
