here’s one of my characters, the villain…
Pathos Character Copyright Avery Easter
PATHOS
In my “universe” there are people with powers derived from Inner Earth Science and genetics. Pathos is a genius of inner Earth Bio Tech esp cellular and molecular.
Powers: He has about the strength of 5 men without using augmentation but he can enhance his strength for short periods to yet unknown levels. Typically the higher the strength level reached the shorter its duration. He has some limited immunity to fire and generates small flames at will from the “stones” in his hand, feet and back.
He can float and levitate/fly but usually travels via several different vehicles of his own creation.
His main powers are that he’s bio empathic, being able to sense any creatures physical make-up, strengths and weakness. After close proximity and inspection he can read down to a cellular level. Living in his forearms he carries several thousand varieties of germs, bacteria and viruses. At will he can summon specific bio matter into his finger tips and depot it via injection, scratch, a drip or gas. Finally he’s able to, within seconds, transform the germs and bacteria into larger unique creatures, usually between the size of birds and large dogs that usually obey his commands. He can control his own biology to enhance healing and immunize himself against any disease and create unique biospheres within himself for any number of microscopic creatures to thrive.

He’s an African raised mostly in India with a Inner Earth grandfather. He is a follower of an obscure family religion. He’d received multiple Phds from Indian and German Schools by the time he was 17yrs old. He then disappeared and emerged years later as [b]Pathos[/b].

He’s the enemy of many of my heroes,
several teams:
the Underground that includes Lock, Smear, Rachel, Mr John Smyth and the Blue Funk.
the Intrepid Group
the Speed Freaks sort of a team, Hustle Back, Skate and the Blur Kid.
and also Prophet Joe

JLA RED
Over at Drawingboard.org the theme for this month’s superhero JAM is Red. A while back I did JLA team BLACK with Batman, Black Lighting, Black Canary, Phantom Stranger, and the Resurrection Man. The plan was to do a team Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange and Red. Well I’ve done the red team now and I have no plans to do the others at this point but it was quick fun to pull this team together. I wanted to do it quickly so i went the cartoony route with them. For those that don’t know, they are Adam Strange, the Flash, Red Tornado, Deadman, Plastic Man and Shazam the Justice League of America team RED!

Below is the sketch. the original idea was to make “the Spider” look and move more manic like but it didn’t seem to gel with the coolness of Lobster so i changed it.

it’s hard to get away from the big girls.

Shazam, she’s so wholesome and white bread.
