Mister E. and the Kolah King
I seem to have gotten a bit carried away with this week’s Remake thread:
Mister Ellis had this character description -
From 1941, when the drugs were apparently very good:
Mr. E appealed for guidance and assistance to a statue of a ancient tribal god named King Kolah which he housed in a subterranean temple beneath his home. Kolah presented Mr. E with visions that led him to criminals. The idol also gave Mr. E the assistance of his elven messengers. The messengers were small gnome-like creatures who could shapeshift into a variety of creatures and wreaked mischief against Mr. E’s enemies. One of the messengers was named Butch. Mr. E used his visions and assistant gnomes to fight crime in Washington DC. Mr. E dated a girl named Miss Terry.

I had another crack at Atoma:
Zombie Kitty tomorrow. Hopefully by then my arms won’t feel like they’re made out of lead…
Atoma!
I’m catching up a bit here, this is my take on the current Whitechapel remake thread:
Atoma was a historian from the year 2446, a time of peace. She befriends Dusty Rhodes, an ordinary 20th century kid who becomes a time traveler when he is thrown 500 years into the future. Atoma knew of his arrival from reading his memoirs and was waiting for him. They teamed up to stop a robot riot, putting it to a halt with Dusty’s slingshot. While Atoma has no super-powers, she does wear EDF (electronic directional flight) control nylon-xenton wings which allow her to fly.

From last week’s Remake thread on Whitechapel, Shinto Samurai. From the description by Mr. Ellis: I swear to you. Frankensteinian zombie samurai. What can you do with that?
I took it to the zoo!
this one right here
This week’s remake/remodel is Zero the Ghost Detective. Mr. Ellis’ description this week was a single line from a wiki that reads:
Zero the Ghost Detective would exterminate evil ghosts by any means necessary.
How can you say no to that? Here he is, and he’s not too happy:
I think I need to colour this.
Super what?
I return to Warren Ellis’ remake/remodel thread, which this week is SUPER ANN!
Warren’s description:
When Ann Star was a child, she was caught outside in a fierce snow storm. She managed to survive by taking refuge in a cave until the storm was over. In the cave, she discovered and old hermit from another planet who could not stand the light of day. He taught her secrets that gave her super strength and increased resistance to damage. Now known as Super Ann, she is depicted as always running on tiptoes, ballerina style, and as having many Superman-like powers. These powers include super speed, super strength, and the ability to leap tall buildings.Which would mean her fatal weakness would be… this?
Back tomorrow!
Dynamite Thor!
Warren brought back the remake thread a couple of weeks ago, and this week I managed to find time for Dynamite Thor:
Peter Thor becomes Dynamite Thor, an adventurer who wears a costume that allows him to propel himself through the air by blowing up sticks of dynamite located in his belt.
Mr. Ellis swears this was a real character. I’m entirely sure that, with a description this awesome, I don’t care. Here’s my take:
