Telekinesis Power, Hero

fl Kisha and her doll by PRGerry *Slowly coming back to life*, on Flickr

Once upon a time there was a house cat named Tiny. She lived at a Zoo and made the Lab her home. Tiny was also in the early stage of pregnancy.
One day while Zoologists (from around the world) were experimenting on feline DNA, there was a major earthquake. Test tubes were shattered all over the lab. Some of the humans were injured and their blood also splashed about. Everyone settled down, but no one noticed Tiny eating the food that was left out for her prior to the earthquake which was laced with not only the big cats DNA but also with humans.
When it was time for Tiny to give birth she hid around the Liger’s area, gave birth and left her offspring to be raised by the Liger’s. No one noticed and as more time passed on, Pukiger (Tinies only offspring) discovered she had some strange powers. She was able to make things move making it easier for her to hide at the Zoo. Pukiger is still young and her telekinesis powers haven’t matured fully yet, but she has the ability to transfer the powerful force of storms and hurricanes to rocks in which the power is stored and used by the other animals for heat in the winter. The rocks get to glow like diamonds! No testing has even been done on Puliger and she still lives at the Zoo. She keeps herself hidden from the human world, wondering just what ‘world’ she belongs in. For now, she stays hidden and is protecting all the animals at the zoo and all of mankind!

Power selected: magnetic forces - hero

REGULAR MOOKIE:


THE AMAZING TRANSFORMATION INTO:



Mookie's home planet (Plantasia) is very rich in the element Neodymium. As a result, all Plantasians have hyper-magnetism. On Earth, Mookie can control his magnetic forces so that as ordinary, mild mannered Mookie (disguised by wearing glasses a la Clark Kent, he neither attracts nor repels ferrous substances. However, when he chooses to transform into Mighty Magneto Mookie, he uses his Puki power and amplifies his natural magnetism for purposes of helping others. With the help of his helmet, belt and boots, he can direct his powers in several ways.

Since the earth has a core of molten metal, the reverso coils on his boots change the magnetism from attract to repel, enabling Mookie to hover in the air. He does not actually fly and has limited altitude, but this power has made him the "go to guy" for rescuing damsels in distress locked away in towers and kitties stuck in trees.

By fine tuning the magnetic emissions from his helmet, Mookie can transmit an aura of safety around him that comes in handy should he need to cross a line of gun fire. By selecting a position between attract and repel, the bullets slow as they approach him and harmlessly fall to the ground. He is able to rescue a hostage by covering the person with his cape, thus being contained within the protective aura.

Mookie's belt has devices that help him regulate the intensity and direction of the force. He has a gauge that tells him when, for safety reasons, he should limit his power.

Power: Water; villain

Entry- After a long and stressful weekend at work (which I wasn't even supposed to be at >>) I finally pulled myself together and got this finished enough to enter. Sorry about the all black backgrounds; I was set on putting the photographs to some comic style backgrounds but I had to scrap that idea just to meet deadline.

Do not let her innocent face fool you; the little girl you see before you is more powerful than you could ever imagine. Being cast out of society when her ability to bend water to her will grew too strong to hide, little Georgie Pickett wandered the shorelines of England perfecting her powers in puddles and pools. As her abilities reached their peak, Georgie's heart began to grow bitter for the life she could no longer have with normal people, until one day she finally snapped and became the villain known as Undine. With the ability to breathe under water, Undine has built an empire upon the ocean floor that is ready to take over the world at a moments notice; or at least until her pet kraken grows up.

Front


Back


Crown- crystal stores much of Undine's powers, making this her weakness


Trident- given to her by Poseidon himself; used to create whirlpools and tsunamis


Shin guards- no purpose just for style; rumor says she made them out of two starfish who crossed her


Glamor 1- "I am Undine; bow before me, filthy mortals!"


Glamor 2- "Release my kraken! ...what do you mean he is napping? Must I do everything myself?!"

Good luck everyone and thank you to everyone for the well-wishes and healing thoughts these past few weeks!

 

Oh wow...gotta give it a shot.

Power: Fire-Villian





I am Oxupent Zespinhaziel, I know not how old I am or where I came from. Shunned from society and no place to go I sought comfort in the darkness, studying this strange mutation that I have become. As I grow stronger and older my control over this Hellfire within me is growing chaotic so for now until I can get a better grip on it I have forged a staff that will allow me to shoot fire with greater precision. Constructing a costume is just all part of the game as I ready myself to unleash my wrath on the world, from now on you shall call me DOOMFLAME!

NOTE: to judges the faux fur at the bottom is actually part of his character and is on the bottom of his legs not attached to the pants, that is not a design detail for the costume.

Front: 6 piece costume constructed in cracked metallic faux leather, cracked glass/foil flame lame, red metallic foil dot spandex.


Back: The fire tunic as slits on both sides for ease of movement


Detail 1: close up of his "fire" staff, and the contrasting red colors of the cropped jacket (collar and epaulets), belt and armbands


Detail 2: the button details on his jacket are a cracked glass that I was lucky to find in my stash that went perfectly with the cracked glass effect on the flame fabric.

Invisibility - Villain of course

His name, for this event, is The Amazing Signor Nascosto (Nascosto is Italian for hidden)







The reasoning behind the outfit:
A magician's major tool is misdirection, thus the points on his outfit signify you must look in both directions to see what is going on at any time. The glittery fabric is to show that it truly is all done with mirrors, or so the audience is led to believe.



It seems Mr. Bunny took an unscheduled vacation so Mr. Easter Duck has stepped in as the understudy.



NOTE: The sequined material was the worst to work with. The friction from the sewing machine needle would melt the plastic and leave residue on the needle. After two or so seams I would have to clean the goop off the needle. Even with doing that after a few more seams I had to get a new needle. I really could have used a teflon-coated needle - that has to be what they use in the factories.

The hat was a leftover New Year's hat that just happened to fit my doll. There are lights on the crown but I 'shopped' then out. They really don't show too much to begin with. You can vaguely see one in the back view of the outfit.

The reasoning behind the alias:
Every villain needs an alias, and not all villains like to be known publicly; it takes away from their efficiency. As a magician "The Amazing Signor Nascosto" gets to travel almost anywhere in the world. Known in the underworld as a unequaled spy/thief/assassin prospective clients hire him for a show wherever he is needed. But even they don't know his secret. Signor Nascosto is also an excellent entertainer so he draws no attention to the fact that he works outside the law. In fact half his shows are entertainment only, just a way to pass the time between hires, not illegal business.

His act:
As the finale of his act he 'disappears' in front of his audience. He shows the audience that there is no trap door under him by standing on a large wooden mat brought in by his assistant (the only one who knows the real trick behind his disappearance). Then the lights dim and a rotating circular curtain drops slowly around him. By the time the top of the curtain reaches the floor there is no one there!
The microphone hangs in midair and the audience hears him thank them for coming to the show before it too drops to the floor.
As the applause dies down Signor Nascosto emerges from the backstage area dressed in a duplicate outfit and bows to the audience, leaving them wonder how he did that. But we know, don't we?



He just had to show off for the glamour shot!

And for those of you who really want to see his invisibility costume...



I am not a comic book aficionado, my taste runs to non-anime manga, so this is probably a bit off base. I had no intention of joining this project until I put on my Queen album and heard Freddie belting out "I'm the Invisible Man". So you can blame Queen for activating my strange sense of humor.

 

Withdrawn!

Power: earth villain



Garnet, an aspiring young fashion designer, is humiliated at New York Fashion Week when she is refused admittance to the tents. Vowing revenge, she embraces the awful power of her long-supressed mutant ability ... the seismic force of her rabbit feet. A single thump can bring down the fashion houses ... literally! Crowned in hammered gold, decked in jewels, she prepares a reign of terror that will change fashion ... and geology ... forever!

 

Awesome, awesome idea. Here's my entry.

Power - Wind hero


I did it!!! I finished on time!!!

Hero = Breeze
Power = Wind

To protect this young hero’s secret identity, Breeze wears a crocheted mask when she’s out helping people. She hasn’t outgrown her princess phase so she wanted her costume to be big and poufy. Using her wind power has ripped the seams on her skirt. Constantly creating wind and flying around has also tattered her thin cape.

Breeze is a very free-spirited girl and likes running around on the grass so she doesn’t like wearing shoes. If she’s in the city or there’s no grass, she just uses her power to keep her feet off harsh terrain.

She is still learning how to use her power so the streamers dangling from her wrists help her visualize the wind to create anything from a gentle breeze to a powerful gust. Someday she’s sure she will be able to create tornado forced winds.

All she’s doing now as a hero is pushing villains away from people, giving the innocent a chance to flee.

Great job on the Runway Logo, looks fantastic!

 

And it looks FABOOLUS!

 

Yes love the new logo! What an awesome rock star to represent PR!

 

Unfortunately, my situation has changed and I'll have to withdraw from the competition already! So Wind/Villain is available!

 

So excited! The sketching is happening tonight! I've been mulling this over for almost 2 weeks now XD

 

Awesome entry picture Vindalootoo. Looks like your Pookster is getting a head start on looking other-worldly/magical/more than human.

 

The Amazing Signor Nascosto's cover is that of a magician. I still haven't quite figured out how to engineer the prop I need. The costume is easy - it's done with mirrors, like all magician's tricks! I'll add fabrics as I find them to this post.
And we all know that the Pookster is destined to be ruler of the Universe. Of course it will be his own little Universe, but still, he'll be the Supreme Ruler forever and ever.

EDIT

Here are the materials I chose to use - not really overly flashy but appropriate. There will be additional pieces but only for prop use - these will be for the main magician outfit. The two trims are identical except one is iridescent while the other is not.
His superhero outfit will be, um, real easy? Once he's invisible you can't see him, right? And his powers only work on living matter, not clothing so.... cue the stripper music! He can control whether his is invisible or not, so it is possible for him to be invisible while fully dressed. And this definitely limits his evil-doing to warm weather or being indoors in a warm area.



I didn't notice it before, but the material on the right is darker on the wrong side, giving me three shades of grey to work with for this! It's a bit more pronounced than the photo shows, but any metallic fabric is hard to photograph. Even the knit pattern has sparklies in it. Very glitzy, showman-like fabrics.

 

A plenipotent Pookster - eek!
I have a fabric array laid out for my costume - not properly designed yet but thinking lots of icicle-like spikes (ice villain)... Will have to be quite organised getting things done, as away two of the May weekends, gulp!
These are the kinds of colours I want to use anyhow, though may well not end up using all of them:

 

That new logo is so cool!

I've been knitting, ripping out, knitting, ripping out ... fortunately, my bunny girl is small, but this is the first time I've tried to knit for her (or anything as small as she is) and it's giving me fits. I've got a solid concept for her villain character. Having fun with it! Below are my materials: cotton and metallic gold crochet thread, acrylic jewels, and some very tiny brass beads. Not shown: papier mache molded on a latex glove, Mod Podge, gold powder, zipper pull.


As of 5/9, I have got my garment finished and am working on accessories.

5/11: Blocking 'n' embellishing. Those Anchor Hocking pint glasses are the perfect size!


5/13: Stick a fork in me, for I are done!

 

I have a pretty decent sketch of what I think i'm going for with my Fire Villian now to dig through all my fabrics..be back in a week..if not back by t then please send help..lol

 

Haha Kitty Blue!! I will most certainly send help XD

 

I don't think I'm going to get around to actually doing concept art for how this might work. I went out and bought supplies today. Lots of ribbon that will blow around in the wind. I think the design might look tattered as her costume gets wind damaged as she uses her power.

 

That's an interesting concept Canada! I can't wait to see it!!

 

For once, I've made a proper start on sewing early - as I know I'm away two of the next three weekends and really want to finish! I've decided my ice villain will be themed around the deadly variant black ice, and want a costume themed around spiky icicle shapes in dark icy colours... Unfortunately I discovered my attempts at sketching designs did not reflect what I can actually sew (I'm v much a novice!). So this last weekend saw me attempt to get to grips once again with my sewing machine and get a bit better - though I struggled quite a lot when sewing lots of different shapes together with figuring out the right side / wrong side sewing of seams and pinning bits together - so am getting better at that too! Here's progress on the top, skirt and cloak!

 

Great job with your costume polyhymnia , love the gems and that headdress is awesome. Love your knitting too just fabulous!

 

Thank you so much, frenchaddict! I had so much fun with it.

 

lol...great minds think alike I was thinking of doing my photos in comic captions. congrats for being the first done. I have a long way to go, running out of time since I have some other stuff going on so going to have to put it in gear this weekend.

 

I can't wait to see what you do!

Yeah, I'm going to be on the road for the latter part of the month, so I had to hustle to get done early. I had to withdraw from the last two challenges I put in for, and I DID NOT want that to happen again!

 

You've actually finished polyhymnia?!! super-cute outfit and story (and presentation) - hurrah!

 

I really hope I can finish this one. I am a major comic book geek. But we had a tragic death in the family two weeks ago and life has just been hard getting back to since. Hopefully a little sewing will get me back on my feet because I can't shake the idea I have for this. We have another two weeks right?

Great job polyhymnia! Your little rabbit is so adorable. I hope she doesn't mind me saying that though seeing she is a villain and all!

 

I will definitely let you know in advance! I still plan to complete this in time if nothing else pressing comes up.

 

Thank you kindly!

 

Witchcraft, I'm so sorry for your loss.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I've been...well, busy. Just got married to my longtime partner and DP. I still hope to get Pook's outfit done. will have to do it at MisCon this weekend, but, hey...I don't really plan on doing a lot else. I need REST! Been gardening/construction in the post fence-replacement back yard ten hours a day and working on the boy's tuxes the rest of the time. Sleep? What's that? But here are their tuxes!


witchcraft: I'm sorry for your loss. Hope you can find the time/energy/spirit to finish. Good therapy.

polyhymnia: I CONCEDE! That...is an absolutely brilliant concept! And adorable to boot. Presentation: excellent!

(but I'm still going to try to finish. Pook needs con clothes.)

Adding it here to avoid too much off topic!


Wiishu was our bracelet bearer (Carolyn is very indulgent of him) and he did have some friends in attendance. Here are a couple of links to pix. There's more over on the photostory forum, which is probably a better place for it. But thanks, everyone, for the kind wishes!

congrats vidalootoo the tuxes look smashing! Its fun just the other day someone was like "you know what you should do if you get married?" me "uh doubt that will happen but what??", "you should dress up all your dolls and have them in the bridal party or as guests." bahahahaaa I have waay to many dolls to do that. fun idea though.
Witchcraft: my thoughts are with you. *hugs*

back on topic got fabrics all picked out have finished one piece but still more to go, luckily I have a 4 day weekend so going to have Oxupent put a fire under my feet and get moving (lol...pun intended since he is my victim for my fire villian)

 

Vindalootoo, congratulations and best wishes to you and your spouse!

I am gobsmacked by the tailoring that went into those wee tuxedos.

And thank you for your kind words!

 

Congrats on the happy occasion Vindalootoo!!

 

Thank you everyone for the kind words! And congratulations Vindalootoo! Those tuxes are too cute and it looks like you had an amazing spot for your wedding!

I managed to get most of my girl's outfit done yesterday and I've been working on her accessories for the past week. I will share progress photographs later tonight if all the campers today do not poop me out (holiday weekends are nuts at a state park lol).

 

Huzzah! Looking forward to the photos!

 

yay..finished...now to take a breather before I have to start on some other projects, if I have time before the 31 I might redo the glamour shot really wanted to do some better effects for the photo, but if I don't have time no worries I'm happy with his outfit..it suits his character perfectly and I am totally going to use it for an upcoming photostory.

 

Kitty Blue, that is absolutely exquisite. I keep trying to come up with coherent things to say, but "wow!" and "holy cats!" will have to do for now. I'm looking forward to the photostory!

 

Wowsers Kitty Blue perfect outfit love the tunic the shoulder details are great.

 

Congratulations Vindalootoo - hope you had a fab day, and that the boys enjoyed it too, with their wonderful outfits!
V sorry for your loss Witchcraft, and hope you've got people looking out for you...
Kitty Blue, that's an amazing outfit, and suits him perfectly!

I have finished as much as I'm going to be able to do, as well as I'm going to be able to do it in the time I had available, so pics posted! Have really enjoyed this challenge and am v pleased to have managed to complete my second sewing challenge
