Description
Dynasty is an alternate time-line super-team, in the HeroBlog universe. If the mainstream team Legacy is the Justice League, then Dynasty is the Crime Syndicate.The front man, there is Abraxas, the second of that name. Behind him, and being inappropriate with a co-worker is Valkyrie. The tiny guy falling from someplace up high is Virus. In the cowl and cape is The Raven. The guy in yellow and black is Overlord, in his time-line, a member of the Overlords, an interstellar group of enforcers, like an evil Green Lantern Corps. The armored guy is Panzer, basically a walking tank. The big guy is Orqa, basically an anthropomorphic killer whale.
Peeking out from behind Orqa is Quickfire, a speedster who literally burns up the road, and snaking her way through the group is the green-skinned Serpentine. She's very stretchy.
It's been awhile since I wrote any HeroBlog stuff, but I'm planning to get back to it, soon.

If you work something up, I'd be interested in seeing what costume design and backstory you come up with.

Which of your other characters have sidekicks? And when you say you think "weasel", do you mean weasel personality wise, or a character based on a weasel?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Personality, mainly. I mean, Raven's like the head of Abraxas's KGB and all, so any minion of his ought to be properly grovelly and all. Oily, weasely. A teenage Desaad. That would be creepy.

I know Raven is supposed to be a Batman/Owlman type character, and its got me wondering if you ever created some sort of sidekick for him. Some sort of little sycophant who runs around doing his bidding, or a younger guy who's plotting the day he knocks Raven off, and takes his place as a member of Dynasty.

I never even thought about villain sidekicks. It would make a bit of sense, though. My Iron Eagle had Redhawk, who's probably old enough and experienced enough to take over the Eagle gig, by now. I'll have to think what kind of sidekick would a guy like Raven have. My first thought is, weasel.

You know now that I've given this some thought, I'm thinking that Raven might have had several side-kicks, as I don't see all of them surviving. I could also see one of them striking out on his own, in direct competition with his former mentor, becoming some sort of parallel to Nightwing. I'm thinking the name Blackwing would be a nice fit.

I think DC has a Blackwing, these days.
I think you're right, though, Raven would probably go through quite a few test subj...I mean, sidekicks.

Haven't written anything for them. Other than their incidental appearances in HeroBlog.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh ok,that's cool. do you have stories on your site?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HeroBlog is the story of Amp, told in blog form.Started in 2005, kinda faded in 2009. I'm hoping to bring it back, if I can divide my attention between it and Ad Astra.
I'm going to be posting some new Dynasty art, soon. Your question the other day got me to thinking, so I'll be posting a few pieces of art and telling some story with them. I'm going to do them as mock covers.

cool.i also had the chance to check your website out yesterday and it's pretty good,too.

elastic women for some reason, always in style. but i think serpentina will be a force to be reckon with,though. but the team ain't so bad.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can see the appeal, but I never had a clue there were so many people into it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
can serpentina shape shift?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She's more along the lines of the Elongated Man or Mr. Fantastic. Especially Mr. Fantastic as he was originally conceived. Reed was supposed to hurt every time he stretched. Serpentine's powers are uncomfortable, more than painful.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
does she have size control,like growing and shrinking?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably, within limits.
I just finished a piece with her and Raven, another mock cover I'll be posting soon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok.honestly,i keep thinking she is like most elastic heroes,can shapeshift and change size.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Other than Plastic Man, most elastic heroes have been limited in how far they can stretch or how much they can shape-change. Serpentine is like Elongated Man and Mr. Fantastic, she's stuck with her green skin and while her hair can stretch, it's still hair and she can't control it. She's pretty much stuck with how small a volume she can compress into by the laws of physics and she's limited in how far she can stretch by some other mechanism I haven't worked out yet. Suffice to say, if Reed or Ralph couldn't do it, she probably can't.
And she will never, ever be seen extending her eye on some kind of 30-foot long stalk to spy on good guys through their chimney or ventilation shaft or something, that always creeped me out when Ralph did it. Gyiiiah....

I still like when Marvel came up with What If? no. 6, when Susan Storm became Ultra Woman.
👍: 1 ⏩: 0
yeah,Plastic Man did change the tone of stretching and shapeshifting but dude can't even change color while at it.
Now i get where she's coming from.Not all elastic heroes are alike as i thought.

It's funny that most elastic characters are heroes, y'know? Seems like a power that could go either way, but I can't think of any villains in Marvel or DC with real elastic powers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the only villain i know in the DC is Madame Rouge from Doom Patrol she got elastic powers and change shape.
you are so dead on!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, you're right, I didn't think of her.
And they did everything they could to make her un-sexy when she stretched, too. She was always creepy, to me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i still can't to see more of serpentina soon.
you're right about most of the elastic characters,there more heroes than villains and it is so weird.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think they were afraid of where the mind would go, if they did a stretchy villain. It's the kind of power that would easily head off into dark areas. All it would take is a writer with that kind of mind and you'd have Really Twisted Tales, or something.

you know,it makes sense that elastic heroes are kinda like the rubber band,they keep everyone together and cheer them up.
to me,that's also their downfall for the fact they feel they have to please everyone.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's why Plastic Man was a gigolo in Kingdom Come.

Don't get me wrong, I'm such a big fan of the power of elasticity, it just that it's a shame that most of them (heroes, to be exact) have such limited roles, like they aren't taken as seriously.
I guess the stereotype of the elastic hero has to be a light-hearted, comical jokester can be a reason why the roles are not big in the first place.

I've had this in the works for awhile, but your message got me back to work on it. Posting it now as "Legacy Annual No.4 mock-cover"

yeah,i would rather pick mr.fantastic,too.at least he can change shape a little bit,he's no plastic man obviously.serpentine must be the constricting type,then.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
i think serpentina's nice though. i also have a elastic oc in my gallery if you want to check her out,her name is rayla.

tell me about it,they're very popular.

Serpentine, with all of her stretchy goodness, kicks butt in this group. I like Raven's presence in this artpic also.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Thanks.
I haven't done much with Raven, yet, but I might need to work up a story with him. I'm thinking he should be a brilliant strategist, but less physical than the JLA:Earth-2/Crisis on Two Earths Owlman. A rear echelon type general. Gotta make him different, y'know?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Not sure why this popped into my head, but would Raven have sort sort of villainous sidekick? I'm thinking he'd be cunning, learning everything he could, while biding his time until he could strike.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Usually his fighting skills will come at a most oportunistic time in a battle scene. You could see how good he teams up with each different crew member as a duo in some strategy sessions.

Thanks. I never liked stretchy characters, but the idea struck a chord when I was creating characters for HeroBlog. A stretchy female character is pretty rare and I liked how the name has a nice sinister ring and sort of describes her powers. She's only made a couple of appearances in HeroBlog, and I'll be writing some more stuff, so she might have to make some more trouble.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, I've noticed, in the last day or so, that there seems to be more than a few fans of stretchy women. Learn something new every day.
