Description
An old character I revived. I used to have him as a hero, but with those arm tusks he couldn't do anything but maim or kill an opponent. Heroes don't do that so I made him a villain. I think of him as a cross between Juggernaut, Sabertooth and Sasquatch. 10 feet tall.Related content

Wow, I actually have a similar character that when I was a kid I called Mammoth Man and later around junior high school I changed to Mastodon. My guy was a common thug with a gimmick like a Spider-Man foe, then he got mutated into something kinda like this guy. He's not ten feet tall though. Your guy would probably eat my guy for lunch and go back for seconds.

I have noticed. Is there a particular reason? I'm just wondering.
I like big powerful cosmic characters at times but I don't think any of your guys are human, are they?

Maybe I should make a faq about this recurring question...
To answer your question directly, yes most of my characters are human. My Elohim Rapha team are all human save K'alluvia. My comic idea has many religious overtones and one of those are numbers. The number 7 is(in Christianity) one of God's numbers of completion. All of the team stands at exactly 7 feet tall naturally(Gilead, Grudge, Inferno) or in their transformed states(K'alluvia, Neijia, Combat, Synapse). Also note 7 members. That was my original premise and I built the world around that. The villains needed to be bigger and more powerful. Also I want to break stereotypes. On most teams the big Black guy is an idiot, backup or cannon fodder. On my team He's the leader also he is highly skilled and trained(Gilead can move like Captain America). I didn't want to do the typical David vs Goliath story but rather a Samson vs Goliath.
Artwise if I had ideas like everyone else there is nothing to make my characters stand out. Most characters are regular size and that's fine for those who want that. The fun in drawing for me is to create large individuals. It's just the way I'm wired. I will say this, so far I've only posted my main characters but the rest of the supporting cast is normal sized. I have to have variety in order to make them stand out... I think I answered your questions in there...

Cool, I was just asking more for conversation. I got a lot of the religious references. You pretty much covered my main concern about them standing out. I like that you do things your own way. I'm not judging at all just getting info. Keep it up, man.

Thanks. I never felt judgment in your question and I like talking about my characters. You particular question about their size just comes up quite often. It's not a problem at all. I just saw people post faqs about those things is all...

I see all the elements of Sabretooth, Juggernaut and Sasquatch, very cool amalgamation, with your own touches of course. And yeah, he looks like someone I wouldn't want ticked at me.
Great Job Gary!!
