The Crude Oil Monster :: Part I

This story starts when an oil tanker accidenrally starts spilling crude into the ocean (hello Exxon Valdez?), but rather than controlling the spill through conventional methods and in order to keep the disaster hush-hush (hello BP?), the engineer in charge of the project uses an untested ray. The ray actually causes the oil blob to come to life.

Aquaman is patrolling the zone and tries to help, but the creature is too big and too uncontrollable for just one hero, so Hawkman and Hawkgirl show up to lend a hand.

It's the middle of the night and it's raining torrentially. Neither the heroes nor the tanker's crew notice the crude oil monster dissappear.

Hawkgirl realizes that the creature is looking for the alaskan pipeline, and that they must stop it before it gets to it, or things will get worse.

By the time the winged wonders and the king of the seas track down the abomination, it has already reached the pipeline and tore open the crude containers... now the monster has increased its size by a tenfold!

The hawks are trapped and devoured by their enemy, but Aquaman swims into the petroleum and rescues them. Now all covered by the oil slick, Hawkgirl notices the creature marching on to cause more mayhem. Will the Super Friends be able to stop the Terrible Crude Oil Monster?

Birdwoman From Planet Exor

When a group of Exorian villains decided to shape-shift into bizarre versions of the Super Friends to... you know... be evil, two of them adopted the forms of Aquaman and Hawkgirl, and called themselves Waterman and Birdwoman. This is a job for the Super Friends!

The pair of villains were wreaking havok in planet Exor and giving the Super Friends a run for their money when they came to the rescue, but then the real Aquaman took charge of things and commanded a group of exorian flying fish to attack the false Hawkgirl.

The copycat relied only on her wings, whereas the real Shayera Thal has an antigravity belt. The villainess from Exor fell into the ocean and was captured by the King of the seas. The Wonder Twins captured Waterman by encasing him in an ice prision.

Deadman's Prophetic Vision

Deadman is now wearing a white ring. Ever since being brought back by the white entity at the end of Blackest Night, Boston Brand has been looking for a purpose, and his white ring is giving him clues as to why he is alive again. One of these clues is a vision involving Mera, who he met when Black Lantern Jean Loring had taken her and Atom into the heart of darkness. But why does Mera have her husband in chains?

She was sent here to kill him!

Red Lantern Deputy Mera

This is a Red Lantern Mera picture I found in Flickr. I removed all the background off of it, used Fireworks to adjust the colors, add the red glow effect, and "motion trailed" it to create the red fire. The Mera logo is recolored from the one in the cover of "Blackest Night: Wonder Woman" #2, and the Red Lantern logos are from fan sites.

The Power of Three

These are really cool interpretations of the redheads by fans that use the "animated" style. Check Mera for instance; she has the fiery red hair and her crown is very different to what we are used to, makes her see like a member of the X-Men. Hawkwoman, you can never go wrong with a well designed helmet. Finally Batgirl, I love this Elseworlds version of her. This is the armor she wore in the "Thrillkiller" mini-series. These can be found at DeviantArt.

Fan Art :: Batgirl by ClunkWorld

This is an amazing piece of Batgirl fan art. I like it because it is pretty darn close to what a modern version of Barbara Gordon should look like if DC finally understood who the one and only Batgirl really is. That armor is fantastic, and Babs looks superhot! Art by Joseph Caesar, S.D., Bola, and ClunkWorld.
