Well I didnt mean thats what I would actually do. It was kinda a joke coz I was a little bored with the TT having the same costumes (mostly) as from the Animated show . Anyways whatever. I was just showing how I think they look its just like a sketch Im not submitting this as 'formal art' or whatever this is just me showing you micros I made. Whatever. No hard feelings.

None meant at all. I just try to keep presenting the "mission statement" so everyone knows how we handle the character visuals. I think the only TT presented with the animated costume so far is Starfire and that's a combination of the cartoon and comic version. Raven's costume has a few hints of it but is really closer to the comics. Wonder Girl is a throwback to the original original costume per David's request. Speedy is a take off on the Red Arrow suit from Kingdom Come. Robin was retro progressive and Kid Flash was the classic comic book version for Wally. Aqualad on the other hand will be the only literal visual adaptation from the cartoon as that costume is just better than the old red and blue version. Beast Boy's costume will also be closer to the animated version but that will now be in line with how he'll be appearing in the comics come OYL. The intention here as always is to have a look that will be the most inviting to everyone by trying to take the best elements of what has come before. Again, I really appreciate that we have so many creative people here with individual visions and try to make every allowance for that in what we do and by presenting challenges, but I still have to keep a unified and workable theme.

What! NO I wanted to introduce Beast Boy. I had a great story I was gonna put forward. Oh well back to the drawing board. Out of interest if Beast Boy is in it does that mean Doom Patrol are too. If not I may still have a story. Ok sorry about the TT AS series thing I'v never actually watched it only seen micros from it and they looked kinda the same as some of the DC2 TT except Wonder Girl and Speedy (I didnt really know about the rest.....however I did actually write mostly so I was right ;P !!!) Anyways its good to see you like my GL Lantern Lad.

Ok this is my DCVerse Doom Patrol as was asked for. It is based on my idea for a DC2 Doom Patrol but as it is taken I will post them here. Cheif When Dr. Niles Caulder became paralised in the same terrorist attack that killed Cliff Steele, Caulder decided it realised that time was precious and so set about trying to improve the lives of the less priveleged in a more direct way. He has many inventions and innovations to his name but his greatest brain-child is probably the Doom Patrol, a group of misfits with bodies unlike normal humans who desire nothing more than to be normal. He has made it his life's work to nuture and help the Doom Patrol overcome their powers by learning to control them on a higher level. Elasti-Girl The neice of Niles Caulder, Rita Farr was an established actress until am explosion occured on a shoot in Africa due to a technical fualt. She was near death when a new cell regeneration drug was tested on her. Unknown to the doctor's untested chemicals had entered her body as a result of the chemically unstable air near the volcano where they had been filming. These chemicals reacted strangely and violently and Rita found that her cell regeneration was unlike anything seen. She could, at will, duplicate the size of her body until she stood as a modern day giant or shrink down until she was around three inches high. Unfortunatly she also has uncontrolable spams of height change without warning and so she must always wear her specially made costume that adtapts to her body's size for fear of falling or bursting out of her clothes. This has effectivly ruined her acting career and so with the help of her Uncle she pratices her abilities in a hope she will be able to some day control them and maybe make them reside. Negative Man As a child Larry Trainor suffered from a mental illness known as Disassosiative Identity Disorder (DID), a schizophrenic like disease that meant he had two totally different personalities and neither was aware of the other being the same person as themself. Larry underwent child pyschology and managed to supress his more molevelant side that the shrink's dubbed his 'Negative Man'. However he only supressed it, he didn't destroy it. Later in life Larry became a doctor, obsessed with being more than everyone else, being something more than he was and so tried to recreate different cicumstances that had created known superheroes. Larry created his own version of Hard Water, the substance responisble for making the speedster known as the Flash. Unfortunatly he became so stressed and obbsessive that the Negative Man began to awaken again. When Larry exposed his faulty Hard Water to a form of radiation that he may or may not have discovered, Negative Man arose and caused a fire in the hope of killing the pitifully weak Larry, who he belived to be hiding in the lab. The chemicals spilt over Negative Man at that point something happend. Larry awoke but the Negative Man was drawn from him in a physical form made of the energy created by the burning radioactive chemicals. Larry soon found this new Negative Man was actually under his control and had no will of its own, it could pass through walls and fly at incredible speeds due to it's unstable chemistry. It could also be drawn into Larry's body at will. Larry also found he had radiation poisoning, however Negative Man didn't so when joined Larry is fine except for a severe allergy to sunlight also birthed of the experiment and so he has to bare various layers of bandages. Robot Man Cliff Steele was the step-brother of Dr. Niles Caulder and also followed the pathway of sciene. He was an up and coming new mind in the scientific community and was quickly earning the respect of many. However he still needed guidance and so began a project that his step-brother suggest would be in his feild of interest. He began working on a humanoid cybernetics project with John Irons and Silas Stone, Irons working on the atomic structures of the new metals, Stone working on the brain synapse control of the robotic human counterpart and Steele was in charge of recording and developing a relastic learning machine. The three were essentially creating a robot that would be able to think, talk and move just as a human would. Steele would often put on motion capture suit and record his own movements and little characterists so that the robot would eventually become more like him. The other two mockingly named it Cliff Jr. The robot early on began showing signs of learning and quickly developed the ability to react to random situations just as a human would, or more specifically, as Cliff would as it was his physicality and personality the robot was based on. They also programmed it with a vocabulary based on Cliff...it quickly became a robotic version of Cliff however it didn't have all of Cliff's scientific knowledge. Tradgedy struck however on the day that Steele, Irons and Stone were showing off their new creation to Caulder: terrorists, known as the Brotherhood, attacked and while three of them fled to safety Steele ran into the lab and doned the motion tracking suit which powered up Jr. Cliff used Jr as a remote fighting machine, as he was desgined to be, and fought off many of the terrorists...until one of them shot him dead. Cliff died defended his freinds but Cliff Jr did not. He continued fighting just as Cliff would have and caused the Brotherhood to retreat. He ran from the lab and into the night struggling to come to terms with what he was...he became disillusioned and thought he was the real Steele. He was found by Caulder later who counselled the machine and invited him to his home. More than just a thinking robot Cliff Steele is effectively a Robot-Man and thus he was named so and helped form Caulder's Doom Patrol, a group of misfits egerly wanting to come to grips with who they are in hope that the knowledge will some day help them become normal once again. Robot-Man wants nothing more than to be excepted as human.

Where is the pic on these, Nemean? I'd like to see them but it's not coming up. Interesting reimagining of the group but plans have been going for these characters for some time so we're good to go for now. We aren't out to reinvent these tried and true characters so much as we are looking to tell good stories. If you wanted to put forth your story ideas I would be interesting in hearing them.

Oh I know you are already making them way back when I made the micros but these were based on a concept I had back when I joined. im not bothered that someone has already made them (in fact Im about to read it know). I know your not trying to reinvent them either so I edited the story a little so that they now fit into my DCVerse universe. Anyway Robotman and Changlings bios will be up soon. Sorry that the pics dont work but I can see them fine. :S

I may or may not post a story starring DC2 Wildcat as I dont think he has been done. If so what the heck I didnt get to far in visualising what would happen anyway. But I would at least like to know which of these looks would look best if I did make him cause if it does happen I may also submit what I would like him to look like on a cover or whatever. Which two of the eight are best then:

I also wanted to know which skull mask people prefer for DC2 Brother Blood micro. I've seen the one he wears on the cover but it was (I think) intentially obscured and so Im doing my own. However I dont know if I've over complicated the first one and so I posted the basic part as well. I was going for a really gothic feel...also they still need to be recoloured.

Its awesome but I wont be posting micros for a while as I want to finish a story that got put on hiatus when my grandma died recently. Anyway I will post one micro that is an image of me...unfortunatly it is too big to work as an avatar. Let me say this though. If I post micros before you've seen any of my more literary talents then feel free to shout at me (or use caps lock and make the letters big as shouting isn't actually possible ;D)! also please tell me which Wildcat you like best.

I really liked the DOOM Patrol pics, especially Negative Man. I like the Wildcat with his shirt, but without the necklace the best.

Hey Legacy, Could I get you to resize your banner tag? It's a very cool image but it's going to stretch every page you post in and cause a lot of unnecessary back and forth scrolling. Thanks!

I would but I dont know how. if you wanna thats awesome but dont make it tiny just big enough so that it doesn't stretch. I thought the same thing but didnt know how. I got about 5 others in the same style so maybe you could do some of them if I change it.
