Other Random Sprite Edits
Been on a bizarre kick as of late... making various sprites based on 'National Patriotic Symbol' superheroes... or as TV Tropes would call it... Captain Geography.
Captain China
Main character from a small comic company called 'Excel Comics', basic idea is a different take on the 'Captain America' concept when he was brought back in the Marvel Universe in the 60's. Except this guy was a staunch Maoist-era Communist... and awakens in a much different Modern China. Its a pretty neat little concept.
Made using Captain America sprites.
Captain Canuck
Could've gone with the original costume (which looked like the one belonging to Vindicator of Alpha Flight) but I really really dug this version of the costume. Don't really know all the details about this incarnation, where this version of the Captain got his powers... but the original got his powers from aliens.
Made using Captain Commando (body), Captain America (face & mask), etc.
Guardian of the Republic (France)
French superhero from the company Hexagon. While the creation of him was inspired by guys like Captain America and Captain Britain, the Guardian of the Republic is more along the lines of characters like Doc Savage and the Phantom... a generational title passed from father-to-son, and each Guardian is heavily/intensively trained from birth. No superpowers, just one big cool fighter.
Made using Captain America sprites.
The Shield
Don't know if I've ever shared this old one here. *can't remember* The first true 'Patriotic-Themed Superhero' in American comics, (debuting a good year before Captain America) from the folks at Archie Comics. Made this sprite during the brief tenure the 'Red Circle' heroes had at DC... having REALLY liked the costume concept they made for him during this.
Made using Captain America sprites (SHOCK)
Captain Confederacy (Alternate History story)
This obscure superhero from the late 80's-early 90's that takes place in an alternate reality where due to the South having won the Civil War... the formerly United States is more or less fragmented into different territories (think along the lines of something like Crimson Skies). Despite his codename, despite the initial subject matter... he begins to fight for equality and civil rights. It's a neat little alternate history comic, especially if you love such literary concepts.
Made using, surprise... Captain America sprites!
The hair comes from a mixture of the Unknown Soldier assist character from MvC1 and one of the many Superman custom mugen sprites.
Hope you all enjoy
