A wonderful idea I must say. Kinda reminds me of the 74 christmas card the Rock sent out. Check it out at the RITS website. The litle engine that could!!!
BTW I am 6'4 285 I have big hands and look like shrek with a goatee that goes to my chest k. If I have some typos cause i hit two keys at once I just want to say get over it. Last I knew you nitpickers out here were not perfect,but I am glad your here! More egg nog for me!

Glad you like it. Im still trying to figure this out how to make it interesting to the main stream, but the railroading aspects arn't hokey iether.

I think The Tick got by more on pure dumb luck. Most good concepts have been done before, even the incompetent hero with the smart sidekick. Remember Darkwing Duck? Same premise. Doesn't mean that it can't still be made entertaining.

Hi everybody,

I was going along today and I was talking with a firend about superhero comic book characters. and I had a totally random and bizarre thought.

I came up with a comic book character the "ROCK ISLAND AVENGER" and his trusty side kick "ROCKET GIRL" The Rock Island Avenger costume is taken up in the shades of the "Bankruptcy Blue Scheme" and the Rocket Girls costume is based off of a Rocket scheme painted E-8.

What sort of things he fights. (The evils of corporate corruption perhaps?) and what he does for his day job I haven't decided yet. But I have a bigger problem first.

I CAN'T DRAW [*^_^*]

But what you all think?

James

Neither can I but it doesnt stop me

Can't be any worse than the the comic books I always threaten to draw:

"Snow White and the Seven Lumberjacks" ...let your "adult" mind consider that one, [:0]

and

"Star Truck" ..think "Trek meets BJ and the Bear"[:p]

I'd say go for it, just start with pencil sketching first , get OK with your characters and scenes, THEN try inking over them thats the way comic book guys do it. Its pure trial and error, but eventually you have at least a final product you can share with friends or if it comes out really bad, hid and bury and insist you never ever drew anything![;)][:D][:o)]

[AntonioFP45]

Terrorizer of Amtrak and Commuter Trains?

......Oh! That would be Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta! His one and only goal for Amtrak:.............DESTROY IT!

Yep, he would be your "Lex Luthor " at Lex Corp (though Luthor is far more intelligent than Mineta).

Now, I am quite aware that you arent talking about the wild west here, but just to throw an idea around... what if he fought train robbers?

There is a thought,

Every super hero needs a super villian. How about "The Great Train Robber" Terrorisor of Amtrak and Commuter Trains alike?

I don't think I would go with the "ROCKS" bankruptcy blue. I would go for the original passenger “Wings” black and red. It is much classier. Not only that, it would match the maroon and silver of the side kicks outfit.

To be prototypical they should be fighting shoddily maintained roadbed and track.

I went with the the blue out fit, because I envision the type of fello, that while he is intelligent and he means well. He is an idiot, And the blue white and black seems to convey that sense. And sence all you guys who are married know that women always seems to have everything together, the girl side kick that quietly works and makes sure that as he stubles and fumbles through the plot that everything falls into place for a happy ending. Its more meant to be a laugh your brains out type affair anyway. Today I have also decided that the hero and the heroine are boy friend and girlfriend.

I think another one of the evils he ought to fight against is hostile takeovers.

[Anonymous]

By day he's an engineer, of course! [:D]

If you can't draw, make it a web comic. There are plenty of web comic artists, who can't draw. (Sometimes I think I'm part of that group)

[TrainFreak409]

That's an awesome idea. Maybe he fights vehicle villians and such, and the railroad always triumphs![:D]

Ignore the unnecessary and obnoxious comments of others. It sounds like an amusing idea so play around with it if you have the time.
