Niiice. Which one is the Feminine Mystique and what's with the Giant Squid in the background?

Niiice. Which one is the Feminine Mystique and what's with the Giant Squid in the background?

I believe the Feminist Mystique is the mist surrounding the Aztec God. The Giant Squid is Manhunter -- Staff Sergeant David "Fingers" Duncan-MacGregor, RCMP.

[speaker-to-trolls]

I think the smoke around Smoking Mirror is coming from himself, though if that's the case I can't see Feminine Mystique anywhere.

You're right about the squid though, you can see it's got a mounties hat.

The smoke surrounding Tezcatlipoca is coming from the obsidian mirror in his chest (hence his name). The Feminine Mystique is of course completely invisible.

[Shroom Man 777]

I totally love the design of "The Devil's Advocate:: Cecilia Molly. Chic society girl, heartbreaker, and ruthless government conspiracy troubleshooter." She looks totally girly and casual and cool and seeing more drawings of her would be cool, since she looks like a normal sexy female cat rather than your typical recognizable costumed super character dude.

Hah brilliant, my mistake then

General Nicholas J. Fury, MI, USA, Executive Director, Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage, and Logistics Directorate, flagrantly out of regulation as usual

And most certainly not looking Sam L Jackson.

Though I didn't realise 616 Fury made it to General.

[Publius]

He didn't. However, it makes no sense at all for DIRSHIELD to be a colonel when DCI is a four-star position and even CG INSCOM rates two stars. His uniform reflects this emphasis on SHIELD as a rational organization, with both a SHIELD shoulder sleeve insignia and a SHIELD Identification Badge (the only acknowledgments of his background as a member of the brown-shoe Army are his World War II Rangers SSI-FWTS patch and his nonregulation wear of a ruptured duck lapel pin).

Captain Steve Rogers, IN, USA; Cpt Rogers has obtained two exceptions to policy from AR 670-1, specifically authorizing him to wear both the Belgian Croix de Guerre fourragère and the Netherlands Militaire Willems-Orde lanyard, and also to wear the maroon beret without being attached to an airborne unit.

[Force Lord]

I'm thinking Hermann Goering. He always had the fancy outfits.

[Shroom Man 777]

Publius, I am interested in seeing more illustrations of your original characters.

[Publius]

God, actually (note the Ark of the Covenant cap badge with seven stars). He happens to look like Douglas MacArthur, although wearing Admiral of the Fleet rather than General of the Army (as is only proper for a Supreme Being).

[Publius]

Commander Bond's uniform is entirely based on details seen in the films. His ribbons consist of Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George, Companion of the Distinguished Service Order, Distinguished Service Cross, Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, 1939-45 Star, Atlantic Star with "France & Germany" clasp, Pacific Star with "Burma" clasp, Defence Medal, War Medal 1939-45, Naval General Service Medal, General Service Medal, Rhodesia Medal, Order of Lenin (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), Former Republic of Yugoslavia Medal (United Nations Organization), and Former Republic of Yugoslavia Medal (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Additionally he wears the Parachutist Badge with Wings and the Fleet Air Arm Officer Pilot badge.

In You Only Live Twice (1967), Bond wears the Order of St Michael and St George, Distinguished Service Order, 1939-45 Star, Atlantic Star with "France & Germany" clasp (a combination that requires active service prior to 1944), Pacific Star with "Burma" clasp, Defence Medal, and War Medal 1939-45, clearly indicating that he saw extensive service in World War II. In The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), he wears only the Naval General Service Medal (discontinued in 1962) and the General Service Medal. In A View to a Kill (1985), he receives the Order of Lenin. In Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), Bond wears the Order of the British Empire, Distinguished Service Cross, General Service Medal, UN Former Republic of Yugoslavia Medal, NATO Former Republic of Yugoslavia Medal, and Rhodesia Medal (awarded only between 1979 and 1980), as well as the Parachutist Badge with Wings (indicating he is a qualified Special Boat Service swimmer canoeist) and Fleet Air Arm Officer Pilot wings. Interestingly, all three ribbon racks require that Bond have a lengthy career: YOLT shows he is at least a 23-year veteran, TSWLM requires at least 15 years, and TND at least 17. The full ribbon rack clearly shows he is a highly-decorated veteran of World War II, the Cold War, and the postwar transformation period.

Interestingly, Bond wears a Soviet decoration despite many years of wet work opposing them, but is not known to have any American awards despite just as many years of close cooperation, including the prevention of the irradiation of the United States' bullion stockpile.

I would like to see God more Greek-like. Know what I mean?

I would like to see God more Greek-like. Know what I mean? :D

Not really, no.



Generaloberst Nußknacker Prinz von Puppenreich (born Droßelmeier, Christian name unknown)

[Civil War Man]

It would seem that the Nutcracker Prince was born somewhere in the Uncanny Valley.

The normal human build coupled with the old-timey nutcracker face definitely makes the character look a little unsettling.

[Publius]

The Nutcracker's appearance is the product of a curse (and indeed, can only be changed when someone loves him despite his looks). Strictly speaking his head ought to be much larger, but the dissonance between his face and build seems an adequate substitute.

Er, God with Ancient Greek dress. I do remember a painting from the Renaissance picturing God and Adam like that.
