Murs47's Casa de Crazy: Marvel Girl [Marvel Legacy] 6/2019

[Cyber Burn]

As awesome as this is, I'm of the mindset that variety is the way to go. You said that you had tried both red and green, any chance that you still have those? I'd love to see how they look.

[vamp]

My lowly opinion is that it could use some color. Its an awesome skin as far as appearance goes, but without color, the design seems rather boring. However, I don't know what color to add or where... I'm color blind, that's my excuse!

No, I don't have them anymore. I'm probably the laziest skinner when it comes to file handling. I dont save back up files, use multiple layers, or use the snapshot feature. I just revert the file to it's original state if I don't like what I see and start again. Bad habit, I know. Anyways, tried a couple other things and didn't like them. Or, I didn't like them more than the black and silver. Perhaps an unmasked variant some time down the road? Does this please the masses? No?

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!

Drop an adjustment layer over the skin, or play with the sliders on the Hue/Saturation/Lightness menu.

[Avalon]

I like the black look. However maybe try a midnight blue instead for it to stand out? Try using a light color background to preview it. He looks pretty cool. This does beg the question...What happen to the other Murs1 thru 46?

I think Murs47 killed them all.

My take on Murs47's origin: 

Spoiler

Dr. Prevanoff was a famous scientist hired by a secret Russian government agency to make an elite team of  extraordinary soldiers. He called this team the Mercenary Unit of Radioactive Soldiers or MURS for short. Dr. Prevanoff intended to use these soldiers to invade America and wreck havok and devastation. What he did not know was, the CIA had already implanted a spy known only as JJ working as his lab assistant named "Stefan" for years now. Upon completing his 47th unit (his latest and greatest creation yet), Dr. Prevanoff believed he was ready to begin his assault on America. JJ on the otherhand had other plans. He was able to sneak in a failsafe program/solution which he called the "laughing paradox" syndrome in Dr. Prevanoff's latest and greatest creation which was MURS47. When the team was all set to go, JJ activated the LP syndrome at the very last minute causing MURS47 to go crazy and break free from Dr. Prevanoff's control. Eventually, MURS47 was able to defeat and destroy the weaker MURS. Dr. Prevanoff was pouting with anger. "What did you do? Stefan!!! "  JJ just smiled and said. "He's what you can call my Manic Undercover Rogue Soldier # 47, Dr. Prevanoff."

MURS47's powers is still very much a mystery.  It is believed he has some healing powers due to the nature of having radioactive energies inside him. Being radioactive, some people have claimed he can cast this green glow which people can see in the dark. And sometimes, just sometimes, when he is feeling crazy enough, his eyes radiate the green radioactive energy residing within him.

[murs47]

Haha! I like it! Dr. Prevanoff...tee-hee.

[Previsionary]

My word! I remember a time when I was associated with respectable people like Beyonder or Syn... heck, even UE was OK, but I will NOT stand for being remotely connected to the trash known as Murs. Good heavens, no. Stop that, Outcast. Stop that and apologize for this bad display of behavior.

Murs is Casanova's clone or something. I don't know how that works. I didn't ask. One of the Murs is a rapper. The other is Emma. One lived in Canada for awhile. Several were killed in the Murs War in chat shack. That's all you need to know.

[bearded]

i have it on good authority that murs is agent x.
want another twinky? or chimichanga?

[Outcast]

Stop that, Outcast. Stop that and apologize for this bad display of behavior.

Hehe. Sorry Prev. It's just my weak attempt at some fun fiction. Don't worry about it. It's all in an alternate reality or universe of mine. But it could explain this love/hate relationship between father and son err i mean creator and test subject.

Introducing UE and Blkcassonova in the story could be interesting. Hmmm... And who is this Emma?

[murs47]

A small announcement on Ultimate DC can be read over at FRP2.

Here is my entry for Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman 

[murs47]

Well that was fast, but hold on to it. I'll announce the contest along with a brief write up of their origins to provide some loose guidelines at a later date. Thanks, bud.

Wait...you don't mention me as one of those respectable people you used to be associated with?!?!?!  My frined I am quite disgracied!

awesome avatars skins 

[murs47]

Just some updates to previous skins:

Superman

The coming of Darkseid was something the Kryptonians arrogantly thought they could defy. Darkseid had conquered, controlled, and  enslaved 37% of the known universe according to Kryptonian intelligence. No society, culture, or species had ever stopped his brutal expansion. But the Kryptonians thought they stood a chance with their superior technology.

Kryptonian citizens Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van did not show the same confidence as the rest of their species. Paranoia and fear had overcome their senses. Prior to Darkseid and his armada's arrival, the couple shot their son, Kal-El, off into space within a small ship. The hope of their son living a peaceful life was their final thought before being incinerated by orbital strikes. The coming of Darkseid had cost the Kryptonians dearly. Most were killed, few escaped, and the rest were enslaved.

78 hours after Kal-El's departure from Krypton, his space capsule crash landed on Earth, within the Kansas region of the United States. A couple from Smallville witnessed the event and took it upon themselves to inspect the crash site out of curiosity. What they found was an infant. The Kents had never been able to conceive a child. This child from the sky was a gift they humbly accepted and raised as their own. The newest Kent was named Clark.

Morals instilled by the Kents and the manifestation of his abilities inclined an adolescent Clark to help those in need. The media dubbed him Superboy for his unbelievable accomplishments. A Metropolis reporter, Lois Lane, called him Superman years later. A name that has stuck since. Though he gets a small satisfaction from the attention and praise, he'd much rather be tending to his farm with his wife Lana Lang, and his two children, Connor and Kara.

------------------------------------------------------

The Flash

The general perception of the next stage of evolution in humans, commonly labeled as "Meta-Human (or Metas)", has always been surrounded by trepidation. However, with the Meta-Human population growing, so does the fear. Governments around the world began to legislate and pass new laws to control a potential threat Metas represent. Many countries simply mandate registration, while others institute networks of labor camps for its Meta-Human populace.

Councilman Wally West of Keystone City's Public Safety Department had always kept his inherent abilities a secret. He was fearful of how his goals of becoming a high ranking public servant could be curtailed if his secret were ever exposed publicly. With the reality of a potential future where his children could be hunted for being different, Wally decided to take a more hands-on approach to public safety in the hopes of putting a more positive spin on Metas.

With his initial plan in place, Wally gained strong support from the locals by stopping robberies, muggings, drug trafficking, and inner-city gang fights, yet was mostly ignored nationwide and internationally. The world was going to hell no matter what he did or tried. Still, for the sake of his children, Wally pressed on. He finally gained the trust of America and other parts of the world when he evacuated occupants of the 2nd tower to safety preceding its destruction on 9/11.

------------------------------------------------------

Aquaman

During the Cold War, SIS initiated a defense program to protect the U.K. in the event of a Russian invasion. One of the top priorities was a defense system in the surrounding waters of England. The threat of Russian sub-marines needed to be addressed. With British Naval subs being no match for the Russian's deep sea vehicle, SIS contracts London based S.T.A.R. Labs to engineer an aquatic defense weapon.

One of STAR Lab's proposals was a biological weapon that could go undetected by Russian subs. After numerous tests and final approval from the SIS oversight committee, Project: Aquaman had commenced.

Sgt. Arthur Curry of the Special Air Service(SAS) was hand selected for the project. His love for his country made it a non-decision to participate in the project. Undergoing the project, Curry's body was genetically modified with a shark's DNA.

Gaining the strength and swim speed of a shark, Curry had become the world's top aquatic weapon. Achieving speeds of 74 kilometers an hour, he was twice as fast as any submarine. His small size made him invisible to radar, and disregarded as a dolphin by sonar. His ability to survive underwater had the SIS tasking him with Black Ops missions world wide. Aerial to ocean insertions 100 miles away from mission objectives gave him the element of surprise. Curry carries a 100% mission success rate to this day and is the U.K.'s top operative.

That's it for now.

Posted the contest for Ultimate Wonder Woman here.

[Figure Fan]

The skins and bios are wonderful. Great stuff, Murs!

[Podmark]

Those are nice updates Murs. I like the Aquaman design, it's a cool look.

[murs47]

Thanks guys. Here's one more updated skin.

------------------------------------------------

The Bronze Tiger

Ben Turner was born in the warring streets of St. Johannesburg, South Africa. At age 8 he watched helplessly as a his mother was brutally robbed and stabbed to death on their way home from the food market. With overwhelming violence surrounding him as he grew, young Ben Turner began to build a resentment towards humanity. With that, he slowly started to become a product of his environment. Reckless, violent, and defiant at school, he was expelled at age 14.

He joined the local gang as a dealer to help his father with the bills. By 19 he had become the gang's leading enforcer with a body count longer then a phone book listing. Fellow gang members dubbed him The Tiger because of his viciousness and physical prowess.

In a coup of the South African drug ring, The Tiger takes control by snapping the neck of St. Johannesburg's kingpin. None stepped up to retaliate. Fear had overcome those who saw the event, and to those who had heard of it. South Africa belonged to The Tiger.

His actions snag the notice of criminal emperor, Ra's Al Ghul. Appreciating Turner's rise to power at a young age, Ra's views him as a potential protege and offers The Tiger a spot in his empire. Years of training and missions have many believing he is the best hand to hand combatant in the world. Not even the Batman has bested him in sparring sessions.

[Cyber Burn]

Always top rate stuff from you Murs. I really like the intensity eminating from The Flash.

[murs47]

Captain Marvel

Ra's Al Ghul, while helming Waynetech as Bruce Wayne's legal guardian, begins his first and only attempt to reproduce Superman using the latest in technology and stem cell research. Ra's pays top dollars to corrupt bureaucrats for a tissue sample of Superman. He also sends out agents to kidnap females that would never be noticed or documented as missing. One of these women is Elizabeth Batson, a Fawcett City heroin addict.

Prior to having their embryos genetically altered and inseminated, they are put through detox and screened for STD's. Some die from their bodies being unable to function without drugs. Others are killed for being unacceptable due to disease. Elizabeth and an illegally imported Khandaq prostitute named Sanura are the only ones who test positive for pregnancy. The other women are disposed of.

With months of having their every need catered to, the two women grow worried of what will become of them and their unborn babies. During the next few weeks the two plan an escape and execute it shortly after. Both escape unharmed and go on their separate ways.

With complications in labor, Elizabeth Batson dies from blood loss. Her last words were: "Billy." The name of her childhood dog, and the fondest memory of her unfortunate life.

Growing up an orphan at St. Raphael's Church he learns of faith in God and that acts of selflessness are the greatest deed one can provide to mankind. Something he would not forget as his powers manifested.

[docdelorean88]

Wow! That is  a wonderful origin and skin! Fantastic work Murs!

[Podmark]

Cool design, a little on the plain side, but works in a modern way.

[cryonic2099]

Seriously, you've outdone yourself on this one...pure awesome!

[Mole-Man18]

Really great design, and truly interesting story. Not to mention that, "imported Khandaq prostitute named Sanura" can mean possible Ultimate Black Adam Looking forward for more ('cough, cough' Ultimate Alan Scott 'cough, cough').   

[murs47]

Thanks guys

It's more of an easter egg for those that actually read these snippets. I don't have any plans to do Black Adam. But, at least the opportunity to do so is there. As for Alan, no plans either. Maybe one day.

The Atom

Ray Palmer was a childhood genius and continued to progress his intelligence at an unprecedented rate through school. When he gradutated from MIT at the age of 19 with a degree in molecular science he was immediately offered a research and development position at Lockheed-Martin. The idea of having all his ideas fully funded was an opportunity he could not turn away and accepted the job. As the years passed he grew un-enthusiastic with every one of his ideas becoming weaponized, instead of used to progress the human species. Eventually he was let go by Lockheed-Martin due to poor performance.

Soon after, Palmer began campaigning for private investors to start up a company whose only goal was to create an alternative, free, and self-sustaining energy resource. The idea was so farfetch'd that no one was interested except billionaire philanthropist and founder of the Justice Society, Peter Cross.

While working with the Justice Society, Palmer invented a device that could rearrange the atoms of any object. He could turn bullets into raisins and dust into water. Inspired by the public figures of the Justice Society, Palmer fitted the stationary device into an entire suit and dubbed himself The Atom.

[Podmark]

I really like this design, but something about it looks off. I'm thinking the boots need to be a little higher up. Something's off and I keep thinking the design is bottom heavy, I think.
