Artist's Comments

Another paste-up from my previous pieces, this time focusing on the other half of the moral coin in the Big Apricot:

Top Row L to R:

* Lex Luthor, wealthy scientist positioned to take over the tech firm he's been consulting for, with much bigger - and political - aims;
* Mercy Graves, Lex's bodyguard...and chauffeur...and personal aide...and...well...she's just Lex's.
* General Zod, military advisor from Krypton, who cast himself into the Phantom Zone to save his life and those of...
* Ursa, a parolee on work-release helping rebuild in the aftermath of the revolution led by Jax-Ur, and
* Non, also a parolee on the same work-release program, both employed by Zod;
* Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim, chief of Metropolis' growing Intergang advanced crime organization;
* Vril Dox, Coluan cyborg administrator of the Brainiac computer network on countless now-dead worlds;
* Toyman/Winslow Schott, toymaker who loses his job when Luthor takes over Websco Industries;
* Nathaniel Hardcastle, Federal agent who has tracked Kal-El relentlessly since his stardrive crashed in Kansas back in 1984;
* Parasite/Rudy Jones, STAR Labs janitor engulfed in Luthor's Kryptonian-DNA-based ' Parasite Compound' during a staged hit on the lab by Intergang;
* Bizarro, a CADMUS-created clone of Superman who, while not really evil, is dangerously misguided in his attempts to prove himself superior to his "imperfect duplicate";
* Luminus/Edward Lytner, the radiation expert formerly contracted by Luthor to extrapolate Kal-El's weakness to red solar rays.

Bottom Row L to R:
* Metallo/John Corben, former AmerTek advisor and gunrunner, whose neuron transfer into Websco's Kryptonite-powered robotoid has given him a god complex;
* Prankster/Oswald Loomis, former morning kiddie show host who got canned by WGBS once the kids latched on the superheroics of a certain Last Son of Krypton;
* Dabney Donovan, former director of Project CADMUS, creator of Dubbilex, and all-around nut;
* Silver Banshee/Siobhan McDougal, born to an occult clan and searching for the key to usurping its leadership;
* Mongul, alien proprietor of the Warworld competitive combat franchise, looking to convert Earth into a new location based on its "ripeness" for such a pursuit;
* Mr. Mxyzptlk, arrogant 5th-Dimensional imp who delights in tormenting Kal-El every 90 days;
* Tobias Manning, oil heir whose environmentalist fiance died in the fallout of a superhuman clash, and blames Kal-El for inciting the rise of such beings into public prominence;
* Livewire/Leslie Willis, veejay who thinks of Kal-El as some establishment tool, and uses her accidental acquisition of electric powers in subversive fashion;
* Cybron/Hank Henshaw - sole survivor of a mission to use nanites to neutralize a Kryptonite asteroid, they reversed the damage to his body by converting him into a cyborg able to duplicate all of Kal-El's powers;
* Composite/Xander Meach, ex-con arrested by Superman and Batman whose father died while he was imprisoned, he found a data crystal left over from Dox's Skullship at the bottom of Hobs Bay and coerced Professor Hamilton into encoding its energies into his own body.

I like your Brainiac here, it has his elements in a new form. I remember reading from another post you disliked Mongul and others' designs since they were 'too human' looking for aliens. I like the look, its different from what I have seen. Overall, I like these a lot. How's your Darksied?
:iconzerry:
Pimp Mxyzptlk is awesome. That is all :XD:

I can't think of anything else to say, because Wolverine's throbbing crotch demands my attention. HE'S HUMPING MY BRAIN!!!

Composite would be an excelent villain in a Superman/Batman movie.
