Gallisuchus
Mister Nuke & Arthropoid
Two OCs inspired by 1950's action comics, when heroes could still kill things with guns, and the villains were almost exclusively freaky mutants.
Douglas Callaghan was a down-on-his-luck minifigure before adopting his crime-fighting identity. Once he happened to be stopped on a desert highway, and was unluckily caught between some fleeing grey aliens and the government agents that were tracking their saucer. Shot in the crossfire, the soon-to-be Mister Nuke was actually rescued by the aliens, who miraculously saved his life by transplanting one of their dead's healthy respiratory systems into his body, as his own esophagus and lungs had been shredded by bullets. They also crafted and fitted him with a synthetic suit covering him from the jaw down that appeared to assist with mobility.
The aliens' generosity only extended so far, however; they beamed Douglas back down to the planet, leaving him to be hunted by men in dark suits. During his time on the run, the survivor realized his physiology had changed; his skin, now nigh impenetrable, yet unnaturally pliable. This allowed him to survive deadly falls, squeeze through tight spaces, outlast opponents in fights, etc, in his life as a fugitive. Further investigation of his acquired powers told him his new set of lungs extracted minuscule radioactivity from his surroundings, mutating his minifig cells. The suit the aliens had granted him included a function of absorbing excess radiation, which he could then release through the chest plate as a sonic boom. The wave of atomic energy uncontrollably transmutes substances in its path into random elements, generally gases.
A walking biohazard with zero lifesaving or survival skills, the self-named Mister Nuke completed his ensemble with an aviator helmet heirloom, utility belt, and the usual heroic cape (that he's convinced himself has glide capabilities, but it totally doesn't), and, with his jaded perspective of the world, set out to put a stop to both shady government activity and alien evildoers alike, all the while still a wanted man. Neither a strategist with a sound plan of attack, nor a patient sort, Mister Nuke prefers to just kind of... unleash.
Arthropoid, the minifigure on the right of the image, is just one of the numerous abominations Mister Nuke deals with. It spits acid, can suction its way up skyscrapers, and its claws can pierce even Nuke's hide! Mister Nuke refers to it as "Arthur".
This is perfect for the League of Lego Heroes group, which is dedicated to superhero minifigures not connected to Marvel, DC or any existing comic.
