Lame *** villain theater presents...

[Cosmicman]

My daughter asked me if I would make her an Atomic Skull figure (after seeing him on JLU). After consulting with Austin Hough, we brainstormed the idea of designing Atomic Skull with his original look.
I already have a Ghost Rider and didn't want to create a Ghost Rider rip off so I had Austin design the silkscreen outfit of his precrisis original look and I did the rest of the work and slapped him together.

I'll be touching him up here an there when I get the time but now my daughter just wanted another "bad guy" on her own version of the Legion of Doom. I am looking for some ideas to make him a little better looking or to resemble his precrisis look. This is still a work in progress.

So

Lame *** villain theater presents....
The Atomic Skull
With the green boots he looks odd...



So, I decided to leave them bare to make the illusion it is a high boot...





Yes, this costume did exist one time in the DC Universe...

Work in progress. I asked Brian to move it. The cape isn't finished. I made and error and posted it in here. My bad. I understand the sarky smiley, don't worry this is not a finished product. I was looking for some ideas.

No man that's not how I ment that. I just think he's a silly lookin villian.

Nice, i've never seen that Skull before.

[blastphemey]

i dont understand

Oh ok. All good. He still is a work in progress though. I a guess the admins didn't get my message to move this to the work in progress thread.
The cape isn't finished. I just cut and sewed the cape to the costume. I want to make the the edges fancy and tucked that why I left them untrimmed.

i dont understand whats wrong with it. i think it looks great! where did you get that head?or did you sculpt it?

I popped it off a skull Pez head and I sculpted the rest of it around the face.

What's wrong with it? I haven't finished the work on the feet. I want to make little booties that match the thigh-highs and the cape is unfinished.
Thanks for the comments!

Beats the hell out of me! I just know that between Austin Hough and I we decided to do this outfit. It was something about making Atomic Skull into a Ghost Rider rip off (see JLU cartoon). His precrisis look was much more original. I assume that girl in the comic book is one of his flunkie thugs. Maybe some Superman buff will answer this if he or she sees it.

[YANOULI]

I've never heard of him before but he looks Pretty good.

Personally though, i would have gone for all yellow suit legs and used CTVT green klingon boots.

Man, that is a flashback.
I had that first story as a Whitman comic from a 3 pack that traveled with me up to grammas one year and read and read and read it. Craaaazy custom. I love it. Thanks for the memories; now if you will excuse me, my brain is going to explode.
