Character Creation
Technocrat (Geoffrey Barron) is a superhero in the DC Comics and a former member of the Outsiders. His first appearance was in Outsiders Alpha (vol. 2) #1 (November 1993), written by Mike W. Barr and drawn by Paul Pelletier.
Baron, nicknamed "TC", appears in the Arrowverse series Black Lightning, portrayed by Christopher Ammanuel.
Fictional Character History
Geoffrey Barron was in Markovia selling his new defense armour called the Technocrat 2000. He was eventually caught up in a war between the Outsiders and Roderick's army of Vampires and put on the armour to become the superhero technocrat.
During this time, his bodyguard, Wylde, was turned into a half beast and half man. These 2 joined up with Geo-Force, Katana, Halo, Looker, and Faust to make up a new version of the Outsiders.
Technocrat had a close friendship with Wylde, his former bodyguard. He was the only person who could calm down Wylde. He had a strong sense of Justice.
It was believed that Technocrat died during Infinite Crisis, getting caught in the blast, along with Looker, when Superboy-Prime killed Breach. Looker has since returned. When the Outsiders returned to Markovia under Geo-Force's leadership, Black Lightning runs into Technocrat.
The two end up fighting and Black Lightning defeats him. When Black Lightning defeated him, the armor was a controlled armor. A larger Technocrat armor being controlled by Geoffrey Barron called himself Technocrat 5.0.
The team was framed for murder and had to work underground. This led the Eradicator to them, who joined the team after a fight which convinced him they were innocent. The team found and killed Roderick and cleared their names. His wife also betrayed him and was killed.
Halo took over her body after the body of Violet Harper was destroyed. When the team split, Technocrat went with Geo-Force and Katana to fight for good. The team eventually came back together when Felix Faust, Faust's father, attacked.
Powers & Abilities
Technocrat's suit had many powers and abilities. He was able to create force fields to stop powerful attacks, able to withstand attacks from Atomic Knight. He was also to shock others by shooting them with what was similar to a taser. He had the abilities to Fly and use his suit as a tracker. He also had increase in Strength, Speed, and Durability while wearing the suit.

Old Kermit here is the most effective slug eradicator I have known...we have a deal...I do not use chemicals around my small fish pond area...he takes care of the slimy plant munchers in that area.
He also does not mind posing for portraits...as in this rain-filled food tray.
Because apparently that’s what DC stands for according to Google😂

Been reading some of the ‘90s Superman run
Left to right
Cyborg Superman - Cyborg’s helmet thing, arm, and leg, the rest is Superman
Eradicator - Superman’s hair, Rebel pilot’s Head, BVS Superman’s torso and legs
Steel - Star Wars head, BVS armored Batman torso, Thor’s legs
Black Suit Superman - Bruce Banner’s hair, Superman’s head, Syndrome’s torso
Just realized I haven't shown off my Eradicator or Steel figures before. So here they are, along with Cyborg Superman and Classic 90s Superboy. Hard to tell from the angle, but I gave Steel Tin Man's arms from TLM2 CMF.
The Tin Horse ‘Highway’ is a 15 kilometre stretch of road in Western Australia which heads east from the town of Kulin out to the Kulin Bush Races Track at Jilakin Rock. There are currently over 70 tin horses displayed on the Tin Horse Highway, in the town site of Kulin and along other roads to Kulin.

Well, looks like it's that time of year I dig up the JLO for some reason or another. Had a go at rendering them in Mecabricks, just to see what I could get away with. 90% chance nothing will happen, though i did have some background builds that may appear at some point. May as well go through them with what i changed about them. (L to R)
Deathstorm - He's just the same as his Real life counterpart, just didn't bother using a harness to attach the wings.
Wonderwoman - As the atlantean guard armour doesn't yet exist in mecabricks, I had to get creative with some other helmets. Only realy difference is I added a silver crown to it. Also gave her the costume I'd wanted to use in the first place. This was so that as Diana, she could have a bright uniform, but as enchantress, we could see the colour drain from her as she emanated evil.
Superman - Pretty much the same, the pauldron piece doesn't exist in mecabricks, so again had to get creative.
Green Lantern - Not too much difference visually, just gave him printed legs and the John Stewart torso, though it doesn't really show.
The Flash - The Flash was harder to do, mainly cos I wanted his costume to fit better with the rest. Problem with this is the only other flash torso area bit simple for the aesthetic of the JLO, so I had to use the one from Justice league. Gave him some shoulder pads too, just to break up the dark red.
Eradicators - Pretty much the exact same, think the only difference is the legs, which have the MoS printing on them, as well as TLBM CMF Zod arms, just to make them look a bit more interesting.
So that's that done for another year. Might do more of these, might not. You'll just have to wait and see.
Inspired by Rebirth, I thought the burnt Ninjago guy would really work for the Eradicator. With the help of some heavy editing, I turned the Hydra agent head (which I've definitely wanted to use for an Eradicator) to a more reasonable color.
My tribute to Action Comics #1000 comes very late - the issue dropped on April 18th (my sister’s birthday actually) and I’ve been so busy with finishing my last year at college that I didn’t even have anything shot until this week. During my spring break, I originally planned to do a Francis Manapul-esque panel layout in the shape of Superman’s crest using carefully cropped shots of his allies, family, and enemies. But holy cow, I can’t do that in the amount of free time I have. So while this tribute is definitely a lot sloppier than my original vision, I’d like to think of it as more down to earth, just like the Man of Tomorrow aspires to be.
There are a few minifigures in here that are probably new to you all. Metallo and Eradicator are entirely new minifigures on my photostream but I’ve posted slightly different variants of Parasite, Steel, Kenan Kong, and Hank Henshaw before. Knowingly, I did not include Lana Lang, Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, or Cat Grant. But since Brian Michael Bendis has announced that he’s going to focus more on Clark’s reporting role at the Daily Planet, I might make and shoot them in the future if a good issue inspires me to. Accidentally, I forgot to include Power Girl (doh!). But she’s technically not back in continuity yet, so I’ll give myself a pass.
I think it’s crazy that the most famous superhero in the world has reached 1000 issues in a single run. The ideal of Superman is truly timeless, a model of courage, compassion, citizenship, leadership, and humility. While I’m still rather baffled as to why DC decided to give him the trunks back (EVERYTHING after Superman Reborn suggested otherwise, especially from a line-wide editorial perspective), I’m even more excited than the linchpin of the DC Universe is back to the status quo. May the rest of the universe fall back into place as well.
I’ll post separate shots of Metallo and Eradicator on my secondary photostream!
Here's some more DC folks closer to their classic versions:
Bizarro: stole the head idea from someone, but added the legs.
Ratcatcher: Had to redo this guy when HMD made this recently. He's getting close to a definitive version.
Raven: Not really new or original in any way, but I made her for the Titans pic originally before replacing her.
Eradicator: had a eureka moment with the torso/legs. I love it.
Superman's Foes
Left to Right: Silver Banshee, Atomic Skull, Black Zero, Lex Luther, Metallo and The Eradicator.
Note: Lex Luther is holding two Kryptonite Gauntlets. Inspired by "Superman Doomsday".

So I picked up some knock off figs at GalaxyCon Minneapolis a few days ago and the parts sparked some inspo for some wonderful figs! Check out my insta story for more! :)
Let's get right down to it!
Livewire: I serious upgrade from my previous one I think. Mime hair, Killer frost head, Thor torso.
Doctor Light: Stolen mostly from Andrew. Indiana Jones head, Killer Whale torso, Baseball player hips, Sushi guy legs.
Eradicator: This guy came about after much discussion with Jonathan. He isn't perfect but he works. Robin head, Superman torso, Ninjago legs.
Lucifer: been rereading this guy's old Vertigo book, and damn is it great. Dog Show hair, Elf head, CMF Waiter torso.
Steel: Real simple. Black Vulcan head, Jo El armor, Super Adaptoid torso, Cyborg legs.
Killer Frost: Finally figured out a combo I like. CMF Ice Queen head, Killer Frost torso, Black Canary legs.
And yeah, that's about all there is to this one.
Lemme know what you think!
Well three Supers and one super-related, but close enough I guess.
As the title implies, these are some minifigs from the Superman aspect (not an actual thing) of the Unnamed universe. You can probably guess who they all are, but just in case:
Jor-El - Interesting look for him tbh, don't think I've seen anything like it. Since I got Zombie Hunter Spider-man, I wanted to find a use for the spare cape piece. Turned it upside down, added a load of other bits, and I've got myself a Jor-El.
Superman - Final version of Superman, I finally got a non-angry clone head, it was the perfect head to use for a more experienced Superman. It also helps differentiate him from his clone (ironically), cos to me it was a bit weird that Tourne used to date Superboy, who had the exact same face as Superman.
The Eradicator - Not the most original look, I'm pretty sure everyone else who's gone for this style of Eradicator has done it better. If I somehow get my hands on the CMF Sinestro I'll give him an update, but he's fine for now.
Braniac - Wanted to include him in this round of pics, just did't have anywhere else to include him in. Went for a somewhat different look for him, he has hair. Tbh the reason for this is that he was originally part of the Next Gen Justice league, he was supposed to be Braniac 5, but that's been retconned out of existence now. I like to the fig though, so he get's to remain in one piece.
And that's about it for this one. There's a few more from this round of pics, so keep an eye out for those at some point.

Character Creation
Ursa is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. She first appeared in the 1978 film Superman: The Movie portrayed by actress Sarah Douglas.
The character made her comic book debut in Action Comics #845 (January 2007). An adversary of the superhero Superman, Ursa is the wife and lieutenant of General Zod. She is typically depicted as having been imprisoned in the Phantom Zone along with Zod and Non.
Fictional Character History
History (New Earth) -Last Son (Part II)
The Kryptonian Science Council discovered that two of their most revered scientists, Jor-El and Non, had determined that in a short matter of time, Krypton would suffer geothermic upheavel that would destroy the entire planet. Branding them as heretics, the cowardly members of the Science Council sent General Zod and his militants to Jor-El's laboratory to arrest he and Non.
Ursa was in charge of placing the two scientists under arrest and handing them over to the council. The Science Council administered a stern warning to them, and set them free. Before long, Zod and Ursa discovered that Jor-El and Non had been right all along. Krypton had little time left.
Non ignored the Council's warning and preached to the populace of Krypton revealing everything he knew of the pending disaster. Zod and Ursa defected from the military and joined Non's cause. Soon after, Non was captured and lobotomized under orders of the Science Council.
This incident drove Zod over the edge, and Ursa and he began an insurrection that made them the most wanted criminals on the planet. They were eventually captured and brought to justice. Jor-El argued on their behalf, and swayed the Science Council from sentencing them to death. Instead, Jor-El elected for a more peaceful means of punishment - exile in the Phantom Zone.
Rebirth (Prime Earth) -Revenge Conclusion
During Cyborg Superman's plans on forming a team to take revenge on Superman, he recruits General Zod.
However, most of the team doesn't want Zod as there leader, Zod then betrays them and sends the Eradicator II and Cyborg Superman into the Phantom Zone. Henry Henshaw thinks they are there to retrieve Zod's army, but instead the Eradicator is given orders by Zod to rescue his wife Ursa and there son Lor-Zod, which was his goal all along. With the Eradicator, they escape and fled to another planet, Jekuul, to help begin Zod's plans on rebuilding a new Krypton. Cyborg Superman is left trapped in the Phantom Zone.
Powers & Abilities
Military Training
As a member of the Kryptonian Military Guild, she received extensive training in the use of weapons, applicable technology, hand to hand combat, strategy, and survival techniques.
As a Kryptonian, Ursa is as dangerous as she is beautiful. Under the yellow sun, she has all of Superman's powers and abilities: flight, super-strength, speed, heat-vision, and others to mention, are all apart of her power set.
She's absolutely loyal to Zod and is willing to do absolutely anything for him. Her fighting skills are extremely deadly, making her a foe that Superman or other superheroes need to watch out for.
Kryptonian Physiology
Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Ursa possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian. These include:
Solar Energy Absorption
Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Ursa's super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system.
Her biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown.
It is believed that between one or more of these and her bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use.
This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.
Heat Vision
Ursa can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. She can vary the heat and area affected.
Super-Hearing
Ursa's hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, she can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.
Enhanced Vision
Ursa's vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus.
This umbrella ability includes the following:
Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision
Ursa can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. She can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability, she can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows her to see the aura generated by living thing.
Telescopic Vision
This is the ability to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
X-Ray Vision
This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. Ursa's can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. She can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived - such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans - is unclear. This ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects.
Microscopic Vision
This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
Infrared Vision: Ursa's can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
Flight
Ursa is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction.
Invulnerability
Due to the interaction of her dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Ursa is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, her extends this protection against toxins and diseases.
Superhuman Stamina
Ursa is able to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This based on her body converting yellow solar radiation directly to energy, but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink, and sleep.
Superhuman Strength
Ursa's strength is augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of her musculature. Her strength is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables her to perform physical feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass.
Superhuman Speed
Ursa is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to her perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time.
This also confers:
Superhuman Agility
Superhuman Reflexes
Super-Breath
Ursa is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from her lungs. She can chill the air as it leaves her lungs to freeze targets. She can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into her lungs.
Weaknesses
Kryptonian Physiology
Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Ursa possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include:
Vulnerability to Kryptonite
Vulnerability to Magic
Solar Energy Dependancy

The first of three addendum shots for the Super Scum series. Depicted are perhaps the two most recognizable costume variations of Brainiac, one of Superman’s most dangerous enemies and a veritable comic book icon in his own right. It’s funny how I chose to include parka Brainiac in the main Super Scum series over these guys; Magneto Eradicator too. Foreshadowing for the next addendum...

Eradicator: I quite like this fig, he was easy to make aswell.
Parts: Superman Hair, Nova Head, and BvS Superman Torso.
Metallo: i just needed somethis different from the DCAU look, most likely temporary, but i like him.
Parts: TLM head, BvS armored Batman Torso, and Monster fighters/ Ultron Robot legs.
I'm remembering the tranquility I experienced during our train ride out west to Glacier National Park. The rhythmic rocking of the sleeper car was the only sound as I documented this sunset through the window.
There's so much noise at this point in my life that I'm planning to intentionally force quietness. How close can I get back to this moment on the train? Particularly in the political sphere, I've never seen so many arguments on my facebook feed. Time to unplug (using News Feed Eradicator and other helpful chrome extensions - LINK) and make room for more introspection.
This is an eight-image panorama.
So, I came up with these guys the other day, and thought they'd work pretty well as Super-bots, as I've been looking for a decent look for them for a while now.. I thought of taking things a step further, and giving Superman an army of Eradicators, ready to enforce his will as his command. Might give them capes, but I'm not too sure. I was thinking either Dark Blue, Red, or Black. So, as always, lemme know what you think :D
The Eradicators
When Superman discovered his cousin, Kara Zor-El in a CADMUS vault, he discovered a number of other Kryptonian artefacts, namely, the Eradicator, a sentient, and ancient, Kryptonian artefact. Naturally, as the last son of Krypton, Superman took what he found back to his fortress for further study. With Brainiacs help, he was able to create what he referred to as 'Super-bots', robots that he thought could help him rebuild Earth and help keep it safe in the future.
And so that was exactly what he did. Hundreds of Super-bots were created, each with the Eradicator program residing inside. Alongside Superman, they help keep the Earth safe, protecting its citizens, and upholding the law.

Hope you guys like it
I kind of regret shooting so far in advance; this has caused an enormous backlog of Pre-Lantern content that I really want to get out of the way before starting the new series. I'm not stalling, I swear!
This is the first shot in a non-consecutive series where I'll focus on Superman villains. Batman and his Rogues Gallery have been done to bits on Flickr, so I thought it would be interesting to take on some of these equally loved, but less popularized bad guys.
For those who are unfamiliar with the character, Eradicator is an ancient Kryptonian repository of culture who has been programmed to preserve Krypton at all costs. He's frequently portrayed as a villain in Superman stories, as his militant programming tends to make him take extreme measures to follow his prime directive. Many of you may be even more unfamiliar with this particular appearance of the Eradicator; this is how he appears in "Superman:Sacrifice," a 6-issue miniseries in the Post-Crisis continuity during which Superman was mind controlled by Maxwell Lord to nearly beat Batman to death and punch Wonder Woman from the sun all the way to the earth. Brainiac also features in this storyline, and I constructed him to match his appearance in the same story.
