Description Here's Captain Vertex from REKIRA!

He's the leader of the Superhuman Task Force Hyperion, standing proud and tall. As you can see, he's decked out in high-tech samurai-like armor, just like any cool Japanese superhero (Gatchaman, Casshern, Zubat and DYNAMAN's Dyna-Red are among my influences). His polarized visor has an analyzer and radar detection (connected to his "V"-shaped antenna), and besides his super-strong and super-quick armor, he's armed with all sorts of weapons, utilities and explosives!

This is also what the five heroes were supposed to look like in one version of my proposed HYPERION V series (but with different colors, of course).

Inked with a Sharpie and Micron .005, and colored with Tombow brush markers.

Ah, the Gatchaman/Super Sentai parody!

Actually, Gatchaman happens to be an inspiration on the helmet also!

I like how you did his costume. it reminds me of suit that Argo wears from the S-Force and the helmet looks similar at Koji's helmet from Mazinger.

Which one is Argo?

Actually, Vertex's helmet was more like Casshern and Zubat. But the visor does look somewhat like Kouji's helmet.
