Here's my little gallery including my main Exray. I'm a silver player so many of these are just costumes I have saved about. I'm a big fan of concept based characters. Enjoy!
Exray
A hero with the power to see through objects and generate X-ray blasts from his hands (sort of a walking ct scanner); themed around a 1984/Big Brother type concept - he is the eyes of the law.
My main and an attempt to make a radiant archetype without using magic/celestial themes. X-rays suit the colours and the animations fairly well and is vaguely medical, unfortunately copyright filter won't allow X-ray as a name.
Safety-Man
After a seance experiment went wrong the dead soul of Paul Smith was trapped inside the body of a disused crash test dummy. The thousands of traumatic memories he inherited from the dummy inspired him to don a cape and make the world a safer place!
Geyser
After modifying an old WWII prototype environmental suit, Trent Tyler can now fire powerful blasts of scalding steam (Glacier Archetype) at enemies and patrol in the most inhospitable of areas as: Geyser! - Note, probably the only superhero based around a hot-water bottle.
Mass-Man
As heavy as a feather and light as a mountain, Mass-Man's power is the ability to alter his own weight. Agile, silent and fragile when light and tough but slow when heavy, in game he's just another Benemoth with jump travel power but its cool for roleplaying.
Sphinx
Unearthing and translating an Egyptian tablet, Anthony Abbot discovered instructions for a lost martial art passed down between the pharaohs, Ehkka. Modernizing the style, Anthony donned a combat outfit with crook and took to the night to fight crime as The Sphinx. With Crook
The Millennium Man
My attempt at a sort of Superman/Captain America expy, which turned out to be quite tough. I made the Millennium Man with something of a 'man of tomorrow' theme running through my head, he is able to see three seconds into the future allowing him to dodge bullets and counter attacks.
Villains:
Auditor
An enemy of Exray, the Auditor can manipulate sound waves making something louder, quieter or even identifying a pin drop from across the city. Originally an old superhero concept of mine with a look inspired by the time-lords, I liked the idea of pitting sight and sound against each other with him and Exray.
Lead-Head
Once a masked crime enforcer who was apprehended by Exray. His body was incased in lead to make Exray's powers useless on him and experimental tissue was also infused to him to increase his strength to move about in his new form. By the time he realized his mistake it was too late, in a rage he destroyed the lab and went on a vendetta against Exray whom he blames for his troubles.
Genome
The end result of a human-plant gene splicing project. If a limb is severed from genome it will grow into a clone of the original, complete with memories. Genome believes himself/themselves to be the perfect life-form and attempt to replace humanity
Mnemonic
A soft spoken merc/villain whose 'power' is having full eidetic memory, never forgetting the slightest of detail. Mnemonic makes use of a uniquely designed taser that induces memory loss on victims. Made him as a Deathstroke meets the Riddler concept.
Mechray
Designed by Orin Corp as a way to imitate and discredit Exray, but who (quite literally) saw through it. Using a powerful x-ray blast he was able to burn off the robots fake tissue and costume, unaware that it was a android Mechray fled, losing its mind.
Made it for a bit of fun, all superheros need at least one of these type of story-lines.

How do you make a line say a word? Like you did.
You do know, however, that names don't have to be exclusive in this game?

Thank you! And yeah I was pretty confused, didn't realize this but there's a list of names we're not allowed, as to why we're not allowed X-ray is again mystifying. Looked into it a bit and it might be because of this guy, who I've never heard of, but then I don't really read comics so perhaps he's well known.
When you add in a link with the tool the word it links it here: [UR="TheAdressGoesHere"]The Text goes here[/URL]
A simple way to do it is to highlight the text yo want the link to be on then press the insert link button. Hope that helps.

On an unrelated note, I've been messing around in photoshop and did this:
Loses a little of the smaller detail like some of the face but thought it looked pretty neat, easy to do as well so I was about to start a thread on it but I was wondering if it was already a known thing?

Thanks! I quite like how he turned out, you're right that mismatched tech does give a pulp feel, Ant-Man was another inspiration for him as well.

Once a masked crime enforcer who was apprehended by Exray. He volunteered for experimentation in order to take the hero down. His body was incased in lead to make Exray's powers useless on him and experimental tissue was also infused to him to increase his strength to move about in his new form. By the time he realized his mistake it was too late, in a rage he destroyed the lab and went on a vendetta against Exray whom he blames for his troubles.

Thanks! I quite like how he turned out, for the longest time all I could think off for that costume piece was some sort of awful eraser-head type concept.
Mass-Man
As heavy as a feather and light as a mountain, Mass-Man's power is the ability to alter his own weight. Agile, silent and fragile when light and tough but slow when heavy, in game he's just another Benemoth with jump travel power but its cool for roleplaying. I always thought invincible, super-strong characters were a bit unwieldy in some situations, he's my answer to that.

Its not quite one of those pharaoh shepherd hooks, but close enough.
Also spruced up Mass-Man's costume a bit, been reading some Miracle-Man recently and rather like the design so I borrowed heavily from that.
Coming up with a more sci-fi background to him as well, his weight-shifting powers come from a futuristic space-suit which changed the wearers density to match different planets gravity, still working out the details though.

The Millennium Man
As part of the back-story for the Primusdatabase page I'm working on I needed a role-model Superman/Captain-America (or even our very own Thundrax) expy. Quite tough coming up with a character who's concept alone could be seen as inspirational. Millennium Man is my attempt to do that, power is slight battle pre-cognition which lets him dodge bullets before they are fired and counter attacks so makes him invincible, with actually being invincible; also lets me style him as the-man-of-tommorow (how original!
Anyways rambled for a bit but I quite like the costume too :biggrin:
Also, cmon, Millennium City needs a Millennium Man.
