Contest #3: Vile Villainy

[Iron Will]

Here is my 3rd custom contest with a 1st place prize that tops the last one!!

Rules: Create a villain. The villain can be from any fictional universe setting, whether it's Joe, Marvel, DC, Star Wars, etc . . . It must be an original creation. It cannot have been posted anywhere before. It must be 3 3/4 scale. You must include an origin story and a claim to fame (think along the lines of a What If). Only one submission per member so pick your best. I again will be the only judge. Submissions must be posted on this thread but you may also do individual posts.

Deadline: April 25th (Sat) at 6pm central time.

Prize: GI Joe 1989 Crusader Mint condition (just removed from box less than 8 months ago). 2005 Skyhawk Convention Exclusive. 25th Water Moccasin. (See Pic)

My example Villain:

X-Con was set to die in the electric chair, but something went horribly wrong. The shock altered his body chemistry and allowed him to absorb electricity that was within close proximity of him. He wears his prison orange as a reminder that he beat the system. He also wears a stun belt which supplies him with quick juice ups. He also remains shackled and uses his chains as deadly weapons. When all else fails he has his sidearm. The electricity amplifies his normal abilities and allows him to emit low level bursts.

Cobra tried to recruit X-Con by force and hired Wraith to bring him in. During the attack X-Con was able to emit an EMP disabling Wraith's suit leaving him locked up in the suit. He shipped him back to Cobra via UPS COD.

This was just a quick example and I still need to complete the shackles for the figure.

(I will post a full write up with story and pics tomorrow. This was fun and I hope you all enjoy. This is my first ever GI Joe custom figure. I have done vehicles but nothing like this)

[samantha]

I hope you enjoy. This is also posted as it's own thread. I enjoyed this a lot, thanks for the great ideal. Bellow is my entry, sorry if you read this before on it's own thread.

The origin of “EX-104”

Who am I? I do not know. I only know I was once gentle, I was once kind, I was once human, I was once but never more…

5 years ago:

It was a cloudless night; the wind blew gently across the leaves bringing a sweet smell of apple blossoms with each gust. Out in the distance a dog could be heard yelping out a cry that only the dark alleys could amplify into something more. The evening was calm and that was how Officer Thomas liked it. The sound of his perfectly shinned shoes hitting the broken concrete sidewalk was his friend, he heard it each night he walked on patrol. Thomas was a beat cop and this little dirty part of town was his to patrol. Each night he kissed his wife goodnight and each night with his scratched coffee thermos in hand he faithfully performed his job. Nothing ever happened in this part of town and that too was just how Thomas liked it. He was only 35 but he never grew tired of thinking about his retirement. He would move south away from the city, buy a farm and grow apple trees and honey bees, it was a great dream and it kept him safe. A cop needs such dreams to get them by, to make them feel safe in a very freighting world.

A voice rang out in the distance shattering the calm and peace of the gentle night. The voice ripped the curtain of safety away from Thomas filling him with a fear that he had never known. The scream was shrill and terrifying, it was the sound you hear in your nightmares only this was no dream and the sound was all too real. Thomas forgot about his safety and his dreams of retirement as he ran. His hard soles of his shoes smacking the ground with a force they had never known. The sound grew silent and the air became stale and cold. Thomas saw a shadow of a man holding what looked to be a young woman in his grasp, fingers locked securely around her throat. In the darkness where only our self and the demons that haunt us roam, Thomas stood still his heart beating a constant drum pounding as he began to pull his side arm. The wind was gone and the moonless night gave no light. Thomas yelled out with a fierce voice he had never uttered before “DROP HER”! Thomas felt something hit him, slicing into his face like a hot splinter ripping flesh and bone pushing deep into his left cheek through his tongue and down the front of his neck.

Thomas fell to the ground, the knife jutting out of his skull, blood dripping down from his mouth. He tried to stand but the force of the blow from the knife crippled him as he realized he could no longer see out of his left eye. A cool breeze blew once more and the smell of the cherry blossoms once more filled the air. Thomas laid on the ground motionless his face erupting in a hot fiery pain. He looked up and saw two men standing over him. “What do we do with him Doctor?” a deep roughneck voice asked. Thomas felt another sharp pain in his thigh this time; a needle had been stabbed into it. Wrap him up boys we got a new toy for us to experiment with. As Thomas began to close his one remaining weary eye for the last time he thought he could make out on the Doctors face a single gleaming monocle and with that he passed out.

Who am I? I do not know. I only know I was once gentle, I was once kind, I was once human, I was once but never more…

Claim to Fame:

Dr Mindbender had a plan; he wanted to build an army of soldiers that where superhuman strong, felt no pain, had the constitution of a serial killer and had no regard for the law. Yes, sure he had created the BATS and they had all the qualities he was looking for but they couldn’t think and they couldn’t reason. BATS, with all their fire power, where simply dumb mindless killing machines. So by the dark of night he and the Dreadnoks would search the streets looking for humans to use as guinea pigs in his grand scheme. He found one hundred and three people, over time, who he experimented on; each better than the last but it was experiment number one hundred and four who proved the greatest. He had strength, intelligence, speed and thanks to the process of genetic manipulation Mindbender used, was very smart. Mindbender had done it, he finally succeeded in creating a super soldier better than Serpentor and that pleased him. Mindbender was always a little jaded over the botch job on that so called leader. On the eve of unveiling his new super soldier to Cobra Commander, something went wrong. Experiment one hundred and four broke free of his bonds and true to his creators plan was able to reason and understand. He killed all of the one hundred and three other experiments and then destroyed the lab by setting it on fire, thus destroying all the notes needed to rebuild the experiment. Experiment one hundred and four didn’t want there to ever be any one like him created again. Mindbender was furious, so much so that he sent a company of BATS armed with heavy weapons to retrieve his creation. They never returned.

Well to this day he has never recaptured his super soldier. His Creation now goes by the name EX-104 and every year on Mindbenders Birthday he gets a nice pink ribbon and bunny paper wrapped package in the mail and inside that package sits a Cobra Eels severed head. Stapled to each head is a card saying “Hope you are having fun, see you real soon. Love your Son EX-104.

(Life must be grand when you have your own serial killer looking after you)

This contest is just in time. I just started on a villain character that would be a perfect entry.

[Iron Will]

Samantha, awesome entry and great job on your first custom of this sort! Beside the figure looking top notch the backstory is incredibly well done. Being a cop, I may be a little biased towards it now lol!

ANIMAL TRAINER
Code Name: DOOLITTLE
FILE NAME: Craig Scikim
SN: 358-17-RA94
PRIMARY MILITARY SPECIALTY: Attack Dog Trainer
SECONDARY MILITARY SPECIALTY: Infantry
BIRTHPLACE: Hamilton, New Jersey
GRADE: E3

DOOLITTLE isn’t just a code name; judging by his spotty work record, it was his way of life. That all changed when a G.I. JOE missile missed its intended target and destroyed his inherited house as he pulled into the driveway after work one night. The explosion killed his fiancé and reduced his house and car to a smoldering pile of ash and wreckage. The force of the explosion tossed DOOLITTLE clear across the suburban side street. After mentally and physically recovering from the disaster, he found out he had a unique ability to talk to and understand all animals. Shortly after, he was contacted by COBRA and became the one responsible for training the attack dogs. The dogs gained a new-found viciousness that dwarfs the loyalty and ferocity of G.I. JOE Mutt’s dog, Junkyard. Armed with his boot knife and nightstick, DOOLITTLE and his attack dogs are no laughing matter for the G.I. JOE team!

When Cobra Commander shot Dr. Mindbender in the back he killed the clone of the real Doctor, but did not destroy the brain. Loyal members of Serpentor's Coil recovered the body and preserved the brain in a Crio-Stasis Sphere. They rebuilt Dr. Minbender with parts of Battle Android Troopers so that he could enact his revenge on Cobra Commander.

How many submissions so far. I had a BLAST thinking up a custom for this contest.

I enjoyed it myself. The background story and claim to fame where great additions to the contest entry as well. I enjoyed making my customs background up.

[Fierce Krypton]

wow, this took me a minute but everything is finally done... here is my first entry into a contest...

Contest #3 Entry

An elite soldier by the name of Frank Williams was the leader of an 8 man Delta Force squad. His team was left for dead in a secret war against the columbian drug cartel, he was the only American survivor. After falling off the grid and swearing to pay back the United States for there actions he joined the evil forces of Cobra. He quickly climbed the ranks and became a Crimson Guard and then a Crimson Guard Immortal. His duty as a Crimson Guard Immortal was to keep the Baroness safe at all times. When meeting the Baroness for the first time he bowed and kissed her hand gently and said, "It is an honor to serve you my Queen." Needless to say 3 weeks later the Baroness was not a one man woman any longer.

In the mean time Destro was testing a new toy, the acid rifle. The weapon was designed to fire a shotgun like bullet that would envelope a nearby foe with an intense acid that would burn through skin. After testing the gun he went to visit his lovely lady Baroness to show her the new weapon that would make them millions. He opened the door to his quarters only to see a Crimson Guard Immortal uniform on the ground and a man in his bed with his woman. Rage tore through Destro's veins. His voice thundered "Allow me to reveal my new weapon you scum!" Frank Williams realized what was happening and was careful to put himself between the gun and his mistress. Frank gazed into the Baronesses terrified eyes as the acid enveloped the back side of his body. Frank Williams screamed in agony. Acid dripped from his shoulder to the Baroness's shoulder leaving a light burn, she gave a faint scream as she brushed it off of her shoulder then looked back at Frank. Frank looked at her shoulder and whispered "It seems I have failed to protect you my love, forgive me.", he then slipped into unconsciousness. Destro's voice thundered through the room yet again "If I deal with you now you will not live so I will postpone your judgment." He turned and left the room.

14 minutes later Dr. Mindbender was following the Baroness's orders and injecting adrenaline directly into Frank Williams heart. He knew that if he failed to keep Frank Williams alive he would lose his own life to the Baroness's rage. The Baroness did not dare to try to sneak away and see him until 3 weeks had passed. When she finally saw him Dr. Mindbender had turned him into a half robotic being. His flesh only remained because of different chemical compounds and drugs that were constantly being injected into him. Dr. Mindbender introduced the the cyborg to the Baroness as "The Crimson Enforcer".

3 weeks later Destro would hire a mysterious new elite soldier that he only knew as "The Crimson Enforcer" as his own personal body guard.

It took The Crimson Enforcer 4 weeks to have Destros absolute trust. On a cold night Destro entered his quarters only to be met by his body guard holding an acid gun. Destro was never seen again. The Crimson Enforcer is no longer a guard for the Baroness but he is often seen entering and leaving her quarters.

I introduce to you, The Crimson Enforcer

Needless to say 3 weeks later the Baroness was not a one man woman any longer.

In the mean time Destro was testing a new toy, the acid rifle. The weapon was designed to fire a shotgun like bullet that would envelope a nearby foe with an intense acid that would burn through skin. After testing the gun he went to visit his lovely lady Baroness to show her the new weapon that would make them millions. He opened the door to his quarters only to see a Crimson Guard Immortal uniform on the ground and a man in his bed with his woman. Rage tore through Destro's veins. His voice thundered "Allow me to reveal my new weapon you scum!" Frank Williams realized what was happening and was careful to put himself between the gun and his mistress. Frank gazed into the Baronesses terrified eyes as the acid enveloped the back side of his body. Frank Williams screamed in agony. Acid dripped from his shoulder to the Baroness's shoulder leaving a light burn, she gave a faint scream as she brushed it off of her shoulder then looked back at Frank. Frank looked at her shoulder and whispered "It seems I have failed to protect you my love, forgive me.", he then slipped into unconsciousness. Destro's voice thundered through the room yet again "If I deal with you now you will not live so I will postpone your judgment." He turned and left the room.

14 minutes later Dr. Mindbender was following the Baroness's orders and injecting adrenaline directly into Frank Williams heart. He knew that if he failed to keep Frank Williams alive he would lose his own life to the Baroness's rage. The Baroness did not dare to try to sneak away and see him until 3 weeks had passed. When she finally saw him Dr. Mindbender had turned him into a half robotic being. His flesh only remained because of different chemical compounds and drugs that were constantly being injected into him. Dr. Mindbender introduced the the cyborg to the Baroness as "The Crimson Enforcer".

3 weeks later Destro would hire a mysterious new elite soldier that he only knew as "The Crimson Enforcer" as his own personal body guard.

It took The Crimson Enforcer 4 weeks to have Destros absolute trust. On a cold night Destro entered his quarters only to be met by his body guard holding an acid gun. Destro was never seen again. The Crimson Enforcer is no longer a guard for the Baroness but he is often seen entering and leaving her quarters.

I introduce to you, The Crimson Enforcer

I love the story. Good paint job. I was just wondering what part is Crimson on the Crimson Enforcer? Maybe call him Silver/Black Enforcer? or Silvery Mocha Enforcer? or The Dark/Silvery/Enforcer. Is it the eyes? Just curious.

[Fierce Krypton]

His highlight color is red and he was a crimson guard then a crimson immortal then a crimson enforcer, the crimson carries over, it ties him into his past. Thanks for asking, glad to clear it up.

[babyjelly]

Here is my 3rd custom contest with a 1st place prize that tops the last one!!

Rules: Create a villain. The villain can be from any fictional universe setting, whether it's Joe, Marvel, DC, Star Wars, etc . . . It must be an original creation. It cannot have been posted anywhere before. It must be 3 3/4 scale. You must include an origin story and a claim to fame (think along the lines of a What If). Only one submission per member so pick your best. I again will be the only judge. Submissions must be posted on this thread but you may also do individual posts.

Deadline: April 25th (Sat) at 6pm central time.



Sorry, just to clarify (because I've been working all afternoon on the sculpting)

Does the base figure have to be GI Joe? I've used a couple of Indy ones - it is just that it has to be 3 3/4" scale?

Can you post more than one pic of the same figure - eg work in progress pics? I've put a lot of work into the custom and thought the recipe might interest people.

[babyjelly]

I've deliberately not followed this thread because I want to enter but I didn't want to look before making mine in case it made me change my mind too much.

I have to say if I'd seen it before thos afternoon I probably wouldn't even have picked up the sculpting tools, LOL

Absolutely outstanding entries. Utter brilliance, and I particularly love the half spider robot brain person, though every entry in the comp so far is absolutely top notch!!!!

Profile
Name: Samuel Guild
Alias: Samael Giltine, Thanatos

Samuel Guild was a young intelligent scholar who excelled in everything he did. He enjoyed studying world history and believed that he was destined for greatness. A great leader who can captivate all his listeners whenever he gave speeches, Sam became one of the most popular students in the university.

Being born to parents who owned a mining business, he always questioned why they needed to live a simple life instead of the rich and lavish lifestyle which they could afford. His father was a pastor who inherited a mining business but was a charitable and God fearing man. Samuel hated this and was envious of his other classmates who had everything.

One day, his father was approached by a representative for ARBCO industries who wanted to buy their land. Though he was offered a gracious amount of money, the pastor refused. The mining business that they have employed mostly all of the people in thier communty as well as from other neighboring town, ARBCO wanted to buy the whole mining area without assurance of work for everyone employed there making Samuel's father to decline the offer. They never heard from ARBCO after that day nor from the representative.

After a week, Samuel recieved an e-mail saying that his parents will be visiting him on the weekend. That Saturday morning, excited to see his parents, Samuel went to the airport an hour early. Sam's parents never arrived that morning, the small private plane that they were on crashed due to engine malfunction.

At the crash site, the search team gave Samuel pieces of gold coins bearing a cobra symbol which they have found. Filled with rage, Samuel went into hiding and never graduated from college.
http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq357/GL197/101_0013.jpg?t=1240424635
Samuel Guild resurfaced after 2 years as Samael Giltine. Samael Giltine, filled with hatred and seeking revenge for the death of his parents enlisted into Cobra's army. There, having the gift of gab, he began recruiting most of the Cobra recruits making them believe that he will lead them to their salvation despite everything they are doing for Cobra. He was able to infiltrate Cobra as a silent charismatic cult leader.

Thanatos, as called by most of his followers, actually controls most of Cobra Commander's troops silently waiting for the directive from their "deliverer".

"The most deadly enemy is the least likely one..."

Real Name: Victor Kellner

Victor kellner was part of a swat team in Los Angles. His specialty was demolitions and he was a superb marksman. After receiving the call, Victor and the rest of the team suited up and headed out. A group of terrorists at a security company were holding hostages and rigged the building to blow. Upon arriving on the scene an explosion went off in part of the building. The team went right into action. Victor's squad leader had ordered him to disarm the explosives. Having full knowledge the area was unsafe, a bomb exploded upon entering the room. The rest of the building started to collapse. Victor was left behind. No body was found. His goal is to seek revenge on his former squad leader and inflict the pain on to everyone else that he experienced.

“THISSSSSSSS ISSSS NOT WHAT I EXSSSSPECTED. YOU DO NOT LOOK LIKE AN ASSSSASSSSIN.”

“With all due respect, my dear Commander… isn’t that the point?”

---
http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss38/drbindy/MISC_Assassin/P1030053.jpg
When George Herman “Babe” Campiti received word through his underground connections that an international enterprise was willing to pay insanely large contract fees for skilled persons in his profession, Campiti, aka “The Bambino,” felt he had no choice but to apply. While the organization in question, Cobra, had been riding high on its many recent successes in the ongoing Cobra Wars, Cobra Commander knew that he must take swift steps against the Joe organization in order to maintain the upper hand. Enter the Bambino.

---
Raised by a prominent Mafioso family in New York City, George Campiti was sheltered from that “other” Family by his protective father, who went to great lengths to prevent George from following his same career path. Based upon outward appearance and perception, his father was successful. George used his keen intellect (and perhaps one or two pay-offs of school officials by his father) to gain admittance to Cornell University, where he studied to be an architect. To this day, he owns and operates his own small architecture firm, based out of Manhattan.

A day in the life of George Herman Campiti, judging by what his neighbors would tell you, is that he spends a short day at work, spends much time walking his dog, and he seems to like to travel, whether for work or for pleasure, as he is often gone for weeks at a time. Some neighbors might also notice that while George often favors to carry a cane, he seems remarkably fit for a man in his late 50s, and in fact rarely even limps.

In reality, George does own an architecture firm, but a new file has not been opened since approximately 1970. That’s when his real professional training began, as a hired assassin. George had secretly longed to follow in his father’s footsteps as a Mafioso Captain, but knew that while his father lived, he could not take such an overt career path. So instead, he continued with the facade of an architectural career, while secretly enlisting in the New York Don’s hit squad. As a mob assassin, George became known as the “Bambino” based upon his baby faced looks, but also with a subtle nod to his Ruthian given name. It was a common enough nickname that George’s father never suspected his son’s involvement.

The Bambino was trained to kill in nearly every way possible to imagine. But he soon found his affinity for bladed weapons, and realized that with his completely anonymous persona (even the mob bosses did not know his true identity), baby faced looks, and placid demeanor, he could often get closer to his target than any other hit man possibly could. “The Black Rose Murders” became a prominent New York Times headline, as a mob war erupted in NYC, and the casualties were many. The headlines were because each hit was left with a traditionally symbolic black rose draped across their body (this was especially poignant, in that the tradition was usually one of warning that a hit was pending, whereas the Bambino used it post-mortem to hammer home the notion that you’ll never see him coming). The Bambino was prolific in the hits he pulled off during his Mafioso years, and his mundane appearance, even as he aged and lost his baby faced looks, helped to maintain his remarkable level of efficiency.

The Bambino’s days as a mob hit man ended the moment he received a new contract, this one requesting a hit on mob captain Vincent Antonio Campiti, George’s father. George immediately went underground, and vanished from the face of the earth, as far as the mob is concerned. The Don, of course, had his throat slit in the middle of the night, and was found with a black rose draped across his chest. The attempted hit on Vincent Campiti never came to pass.

---
Fast forward to the present. The Bambino has found work off and on over the years, but without the security of a set cover and regular anonymous work, he has had to take more chances than he prefers. His success rate is still remarkable, yet reliant upon his ability to blend in, and carry an entirely non-threatening guise to gain close access to his target. He then unleashes a blade from his coat sleeve to slice a throat, a sword from his cane to hack an unsuspecting mark, or in those rare times when he simply cannot get any closer, to fire one form of projectile or another from his multi-faceted umbrella disguised gun. While there has been work, it was not enough.

Now that he has applied to work for Cobra, his skills will be put to the test. His hits will still come when least expected, as finding his marks in areas where they are comfortable and have let their guard down is his modus operandi. For his part, Cobra Commander seems to finally recognize the benefit of having a real killer at his disposal, one who kills first and talks second, rather than vice versa. It has also been impressed upon the Commander that having at least one killer who is not a masked freak might actually open a few more opportunities to take out key leaders of the Joe team.

---
Since becoming one of Cobra’s hired killers, the Bambino has one prominent claim to fame. He put the hit on Master Sgt. Conrad Hauser, aka Duke. There has been perhaps no greater event in the Cobra Wars which has more tightly sealed Cobra’s pending victory. And while those in the know fully understand who the assassin was, the Joe team has been left with no clue as to the perpetrator, other than the black rose draped across Duke’s dead body.

---
“Vile Villainy”? The question must be asked, does a hired assassin truly qualify as having vile villainy? Certainly the taking of a human life would qualify, but who is the greater villain, the killer, or the person who directs the killer’s hand? The Bambino is a fine example of a man, who at least by outward appearances is simply doing a job. The rest of the time he is a good neighbor, a dog lover, is good to kids and loves his family. Not the typical profile of vile villainy. Yet, there is more to the story above.

Something weird happened along the way for George Herman Campiti. Sure killing was his profession, and he was good at it. But like most hit men he really did treat it like any other job. Except that after awhile he realized that he liked his job a little too much. So much so that he started to kill for the thrill of it, for the bloodlust. Most all successful hit men remain successful for the simple reason that they find their job distasteful, and long for opportunities for a real life. But George Herman Campiti, despite his outward appearances, loves his job, and has killed enough times beyond the scope of his “career” that he is now more killer than professional. It is a weird dynamic, in that his trademark for success is his gentile appearance, yet it is seemingly replaced by a rabid maniac thirsting for blood, with an actual physical transformation, once he becomes set to strike. Perhaps this persona was always a part of his make-up. In any event, it leaves no doubt that his heart is black, and that he is amongst the most vile villains known, or in this case not known, throughout the world.

Grotesque

Karl Novak was born to Polish immigrant parents in New York city, and spent most of his childhood in poverty. Life took a positive turn for Novak when his extraordinary aptitude for science meant that he was given a scholarship to the top technical institutes in the US.

Karl Novak was the perfect recruit for the US Army Scientific Corps, and he was the youngest scientist to ever lead a development team. Novak's greatest acheivement was the development of a matter transporter that could transmit equipment from one location to another.

Novak was seduced by the promise of power and unlimited funding by Baron Ironblood who gradually convinced him to develop a possible matter transporter that would work on humans. But Novak soon realised the monster that Ironblood was - a terrorist who ordered the destruction of countless lives across the world.

Novak wanted to escape, but Ironblood caught him. As a sick punishment, Ironblood threw Novak into the transporter and tested the machine on it's creator. The person that entered the transporter was not the thing that came out. Novak emerged as a twisted parody of human form, his arms and legs and features jumbled, his body twisted. Novak's mind snapped too - the despair he felt during his childhood now remembered and turned to hatred.

Grotesque was born - Ironblood's Chief Scientist and his special interrogator...

Claim to Fame...
"Special Forces agents are trained to resist the psychological and physical torture that enemies are often expected to put them under, but noone can prepare them for Grotesque... His transporter is still active, but it still is flawed. He calls it 'The Mangler', and given the choice between talking or ending up just like Grotesque everyone talks when they see Grotesque, before he's even uttered a word..."

Here's Grotesque.

http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss349/MalcolmOrr/grotWIP05.jpg

The idea was a person who's body was jumbled - as Vile a villain as I could think of. The arm and leg on one side swapped - his face mixed up and a hunchback.

Shadow Wind

Kosuke Kawase was born to a wealthy Japanese-American businessman and a mother of Chinese/Korean descent. He always had a dream of studying 3 of the great martial art forms of the countries of his ancestry (1 from each country), and unifying them into 1 form. Kosuke eventually went to college as his father had wished putting off his dreams to fulfill his father’s of him becoming an electrical engineer. Before graduating Kosuke’s father died, under mysterious circumstances, of apparent heart failure. Kosuke finished college as the will instructed, but allowed his father’s company to continue being run by those he deemed more business minded than himself. Kosuke then went out to fulfill his dream, aided by his new found wealth, and attaining the martial knowledge he sought. He first set out to South Korea where he studied many years to attain a working and effective knowledge of Sum Gum Do.

Before completing his studies in China of Northern Praying Mantis his mother also died of an apparent suicide. The motives of this suicide were apparent loneliness and heartbreak. Kosuke took this news very hard and blamed himself. He soon went back to China to finish his studies with a increased vigor and determination. Kosuke became a quick study and, while not the best practitioner, became adept and talented at the Northern Praying Mantis.

Kosuke then set about his most difficult challenge attaining knowledge of Ninjutsu. Around this time the corporation Kosuke’s father had founded was purchased in a hostile takeover by Extensive Enterprises (with apparent aid by some of the company execs). While this news did not sit well with Kosuke he never had the same desires as his father in the corporate arena. He took the generous buyout option and went about his studies. He spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to find a respectable mentor willing to train him in the mysterious art of Ninjutsu. After considerable effort and going through many dangerous and seedy channels Kosuke was referenced to a mysterious man named only “Storm Shadow”. After a harsh testing, and a healthy deposit into a Swiss account, Storm Shadow agreed to mentor Kosuke as the final Arashikage student.

Several more difficult and sporadic years in training later Kosuke had learned a majority of the standard Arashikage training. Storm Shadow was not willing to complete Kosuke’s training, but did leave him with a few things. Storm Shadow gave Kosuke the moniker of “Shadow Wind” because of his adeptness at stealth, and he also told Kosuke of something he was privy to—the true nature of Extensive Enterprise and the organization the CEOs worked for. He also explained that his parents’ deaths may not have been accidental. This had been Storm Shadow’s final gift to Kosuke (gift may be inappropriate as Storm shadow would surely benefit from the collapse of Extensive Enterprises—and was this the true reason for his agreement to help Kosuke in the first place?).

By this time Kosuke was in his early 30s and still had one final thing to learn, as now things had changed for him, he needed a knowledge of weapons—all of them. He learned projectile and explosive weapons training from some of the greatest mercs money could buy. At 34 he had finally fulfilled his dream and more. And more, because he had a new dream—the death of the two called Tomax and Xamot.

After interrogating several of his family company’s ex-officers he did find collusion in his parent’s deaths. The colluders also met gruesome deaths. In a startling display of bravado Shadow Wind had made it into EE, and nearly managed to kill both Tomax and Xamot. While the two did make a typical wily escape—Tomax is now heavily scarred, and not only on his face like Xamot, as he took the brunt of a grenade explosion.

Cobra Commander was so impressed by this act of revenge that he instructed Firefly to locate Shadow Wind, and offer him a job as a Cobra mercenary. In exchange for offering up Tomax and Xamot in a future trap CC demanded that Shadow Wind kill four higher ranked members of GI Joe. With the semi-failure of his first mission it would now be more difficult to ensnare the hated Crimson twins, but Kosuke reluctantly accepted.

Shadow Wind’s new mission….kill Blowtorch AKA: Timothy P Hanrahan.

I agree, and it was awesome to have to right up a story for my character... I might start creating a story for every new figure I make.

[pig iron grenadier]

I have to say I didn't follow this contest past page 2 because I didn't want it to influence my creation-- as apparently weak as it is. I love the stories and the great ideas behind the creations. The creations themselves are highly imaginative. Thanks for supplying this awesome contest and for those that participated. I imagine we'll see a plethora more by tomorrow.

Shadow Wind

Kosuke Kawase was born to a wealthy Japanese-American businessman and a mother of Chinese/Korean descent. He always had a dream of studying 3 of the great martial art forms of the countries of his ancestry (1 from each country), and unifying them into 1 form. Kosuke eventually went to college as his father had wished putting off his dreams to fulfill his father’s of him becoming an electrical engineer. Before graduating Kosuke’s father died, under mysterious circumstances, of apparent heart failure. Kosuke finished college as the will instructed, but allowed his father’s company to continue being run by those he deemed more business minded than himself. Kosuke then went out to fulfill his dream, aided by his new found wealth, and attaining the martial knowledge he sought. He first set out to South Korea where he studied many years to attain a working and effective knowledge of Sum Gum Do.

Before completing his studies in China of Northern Praying Mantis his mother also died of an apparent suicide. The motives of this suicide were apparent loneliness and heartbreak. Kosuke took this news very hard and blamed himself. He soon went back to China to finish his studies with a increased vigor and determination. Kosuke became a quick study and, while not the best practitioner, became adept and talented at the Northern Praying Mantis.

Kosuke then set about his most difficult challenge attaining knowledge of Ninjutsu. Around this time the corporation Kosuke’s father had founded was purchased in a hostile takeover by Extensive Enterprises (with apparent aid by some of the company execs). While this news did not sit well with Kosuke he never had the same desires as his father in the corporate arena. He took the generous buyout option and went about his studies. He spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to find a respectable mentor willing to train him in the mysterious art of Ninjutsu. After considerable effort and going through many dangerous and seedy channels Kosuke was referenced to a mysterious man named only “Storm Shadow”. After a harsh testing, and a healthy deposit into a Swiss account, Storm Shadow agreed to mentor Kosuke as the final Arashikage student.

Nice work, looks very good. I have no idea why I never thought of using that hood before, brilliant!

[pig iron grenadier]

Thanks, I'm borrowing a camera tonight to take better pics...my camera is horrid.

Fierce, I love your story and figure..top notch and just viscious looking.

[babyjelly]

Code Name: Sssplat
File Name: Stephen Samuel Platter
Affiliation: Cobra
Primary Specialty: Paintball Warfare
Secondary Specialty: Psychological Warfare

Sssplat was a former paintball instructor who holds many degrees in Psychology. In order to avoid numerous lawsuits stemming from his student's paintball injuries and mental trauma, he sought out Cobra as an escape.

Once Major Bludd heard his story, he started laughing and spouting off derogatory poetry about him. Now, one well placed red pepper paintball later, Major Bludd wears an eye patch.

Using varying degrees of paintballs laced with certain compounds, Sssplat is a feared warrior, both to his Cobra allies and to the Joes as well.

His adhesive paintballs are the reason Cobra Soldiers now shave their heads. And, he's also rumored to be the reason Cobra Commander always wears the hood around him. Destro trembles at his name, clutching at the helmet polish in his pocket.

A compulsive neat freak, who snaps at the slightest spot of paint on his uniform, and a brilliant analytical mind, combined with the ultimate skills of a paintball expert, makes Sssplat a Vile Villain to be reckoned with - on both sides.

From the files of General Hawk: "Where the hell did Cobra get this guy from? I mean, he shoots paintballs! I'll never forget the sight of Lady Jaye, screaming, running from the battlefield, in tears about her "ruined hair". He's a monster."

The silence is killing me!

[nerdsgetchicks]

the silence is killing me!

i know!!!!!!
Lol

[Iron Will]

Okay everyone here it is! First off thank-you all for the great customs! This one was truly a joy to host! I plan on hosting a few more and I hope you will all continue to participate.

And the winner is Iron Will for his X-Con custom!! How evil is that!! Just kidding! C'mon it is a villain contest!

The real winner with a last minute steal is babyjelly for Grotesque! The backround was very well executed and the amount of sculpting that went into this was really well done! I think a lot of us (myself included) when doing a custom go for that sleek sinister almost cool look. I think this custom really steps away from the norm! Congrats and well done!!

Again thanks all and be sure to check out Die-o-rama and Mascot Madness still in progress!

Congrats babyjelly!!

[nerdsgetchicks]

Congrats babyjelly.

[Tankster]

good pick would have been mine too :)

[ROBULUS]

Great job Babyjelly. A well deserved win. Great custom. Great contest.

[pig iron grenadier]

Yeah, great custom. Congratulations on such a difficult sculpt.
