Draw Me an X-Jam XVI: On Another World!

[theX]

theX, WTF? That's AWESOME!

Thanks so much!

I'd quite happily read that as a story in a mainstream x-book brilliant story and design work

Wow, that is quite the compliment. I really appreciate it. I'll confess, the design came before the story.

#90 - Dr. Nemesis



Universe: Earth - Rupture

Powers: A "self-evolved" intellect making him a scientific and technological genius. Enhanced and specialized vision that allows him to see over great distances, below the superficial surfaces of organic matter as well as an ability to discern between mutated and non-mutated individuals and detect genetic abnormalities.

Story: This Dr. Nemesis actually originates from the original Earth-616 Universe. In the not too distant future of the 616 Universe, two factions face each other in battle--one led by Scarlett Witch and one led by the Phoenix. It is one of the largest assemblages of mutants in battle the Earth has ever seen--and our Dr. Nemesis is one of the combatants. In the throws of the violence, Scarlett Witch and the Phoenix clash. Throwing their powers at one another and locking each other in attack, the energy builds. The sheer size of this energy is astronomical and as it escalates it begins to effect the fabric of time and space. No longer able to contain the force, Universe 616 bulges and rips into a nearby reality, venting the energy--taking the form of a massive explosion. This event will be known as the Rupture.

In this colossal release, nearly half of the mutant soldiers were pulled into Earth-Rupture. Dr. Nemesis is one of these mutants. The universe Earth-Rupture was nearly identical to Earth-616, mutants and all. And for every mutant from 616 that fell into Earth-Rupture, their alternate versions were pushed into Earth 616. Unfortunately for all involved, the explosion killed some and maimed the rest. In the bright flash of the Rupture, Dr. Nemesis managed to pull a forearm over his eyes and the next thing he knew, he had landed on the ground of Earth-Rupture, his body broken.

For days, the mutants laid in soot and dust, the injured dying and the dead decaying. Dr. Nemesis managed to inject himself and a few others around him with a powerful concoction of medication using his hypodermic gun before falling unconscious. When he awoke, he was in an underground lab headed by the Earth-Rupture mutant Forge. He had lost both arm and leg on his left side, a huge portion of his torso and his skull had been shattered. Forge was barely able to keep him alive. For months, Forge worked to heal the parts of Dr. Nemesis that could be healed and replace the parts of Dr. Nemesis that could be replaced. In the end, nearly 50% of Dr. Nemesis' body had been lost.

Nearly a year after the Rupture, Dr. Nemesis was on his feet. But Forge's enhancements weren't good enough for Dr. Nemesis and he began work to replace all that Forge had done. Splitting his time between his new goal and aiding Forge in the rehabilitation of other mutants from the Rupture, Dr. Nemesis began research and development. Being the super-genius that he is, it was only a matter of months until he became the Dr. Nemesis we see now.

Dr. Nemesis serves as medic to the Earth-Rupture X-Men. However, Nemesis' objective is the recovery and rehabilitation of other mutants that had been pulled through by the Rupture and eventually finding a way home.

Dr. Nemesis' enhancements:

Every inch of artificial skin has been replaced by a bio-metal that he modeled after Colossus' own power.
Left leg and arm are the most advanced prosthetics to ever exist and also serve as housing for an internalized science lab.
Left arm ends in an sophisticated delivery mechanism akin to his hypodermic guns.
Right eye has been recreated and vision restored as a multi-plane visor that allows him to see in all directions at once.

This is awesome!

Could I have #70?

You've selected Cecelia Reyes!

I'd like #63, if it's available.

You've selected Rachel Summers!!!
Do her justice Arachne.

On Earth-90210, mutant is still a four letter word. The long prophesised genetics war has happened, on a far worse scale than imagined. Bastion, having already experienced these events in another timeline as Nimrod, knows what mistakes were made there and this time amps up his efforts to destroy mutantkind. Sentinels of all types--bio-organic, submicroscopic, etc.--herd mutants to the brink of extinction. Mutantkind is also at war with itself, various factions squabbling for supremacy. In order to unite the mutant race, Proteus (Nathan Essex), the last X-Man, creates "the ultimate mutant" from the DNA of the X-Men's greatest leaders--Professor X, Cyclops, Storm, Magneto, Namor, and more. The clone is also programmed with all of their memories.

Proteus vanished before this mutant awoke in his clone tank, which was labeled "Exodus." Taking this for his name, Exodus only had a few seconds to put on the gaudy gold and black uniform left for him before a horde of Sentinels attacked Proteus' hidden lab. He destroyed them quite easily, despite his powers being limited to telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation. The remainder of the powers he'd inherited from the X-Men were locked until he got better control of them. As he escaped the burning lab, he freed another clone from Proteus' tanks. It was an albino, gender neutral mutant cloned from the DNA of the X-Men Copycat and Meggan, designed to imprint on the first person it saw and shape itself based on that person's sexual desires--it was intended for Proteus himself. The mutant, who calls itself 'X,' later assumes the default shape of a intersexed (hermaphroditic) female based on Exodus' bisexual nature. The two mutants set off across the post apocalyptic landscape, a genetic imperative leading them toward Weschester, NY...

Right. Can I have number 35 next, Pryde15?

Very cool!

Captain Britain

In this dimension, the Egyptian Princess Scota traveled to the British Isles, fleeing political turmoil in her homelands, her father Akenaten having just been assassinated. With a large contingent of ships and many of her high priests, best warriors and servants, they traveled across the Mediterranean, around Iberian and settled on the British Isle, mingling with the native Picts, with whom they had long since had trading relations for their tin needs in bronze production. All was well for a while, before having to defend against the invading Celts, driven from the European interior by the machinations of En Sabath Nur, also called Apopis, the Destroyer.

Cernunnos, a Celtic god king with whom Scota brokered peace by marriage, was killed by Apopis for betraying his cause, ripping him into pieces and throwing him to the wind. Scota flees into the wild, and using her potent magic in union with a Pictish mage Morian, is able to find enough of the pieces to incarnate her husband physically long enough to take his child.

Her sun, Heru, raised in the wild with Morian, rises up and leads the rebellion against Apopis. He protects his homeland with super strength, flight, nigh-invulnerability, and a empathic connection to the land and all its creatures(animals, plants, stones, magic, etc) and his sword, Apedemak, named for the Lion God who is fated to slay Apopis, bringing the lands into balance and restoring Ma'at.

Heru Scota is in a relationship with the Pictish fey Meg'gan, an empathic elemental metamorph, powerful as he is innocent. Their allies include Anubis(feral metamorph), Ib(with a furnace of diving light in his heart), and the previously mentioned Morian, who is the gaterkeeper of Otherworld in this dimension.

I want to do Storm, whatever number that is....

#70 - Cecilia Reyes


Universe: Earth - Rupture

Powers: the generation of a "psioplasmic bio-field" around her body that grants her resistance to both physical and energy attacks. This field is activated subconsciously whenever she is threatened but can be consciously formed into primitive shapes that she can use as weapons.

Story: This Cecilia Reyes actually originates from the original Earth-616 Universe. In the not too distant future of the 616 Universe, two factions face each other in battle--one led by Scarlett Witch and one led by the Phoenix. It is one of the largest assemblages of mutants in battle the Earth has ever seen--and Cecilia Reyes, an admitted pacifist and skilled surgeon, is one of the combatants. In the throws of the violence, Scarlett Witch and the Phoenix clash. Throwing their powers at one another and locking each other in attack, the energy builds. The sheer size of this energy is astronomical and as it escalates it begins to effect the fabric of time and space. No longer able to contain the force, Universe 616 bulges and rips into a nearby reality, venting the energy--taking the form of a massive explosion. This event will be known as the Rupture.

In this colossal release, nearly half of the mutant soldiers were pulled into Earth-Rupture. Cecilia Reyes is one of these mutants. The universe Earth-Rupture was nearly identical to Earth-616, mutants and all. And for every mutant from 616 that fell into Earth-Rupture, their alternate versions were pushed into Earth 616. Cecilia Reyes was one of very few involved to be spared any physical injury, many were killed and the rest were maimed.

Before Reyes even had time to register the explosion, her powers had kicked in--enveloping her body in a nigh-impenetrable force-field. A wave of radiation swept outwards as the explosion perforated the barriers between Earth 616 and Earth-Rupture. Everyone was exposed to this potent energy, including Reyes. The sheer strength of this radiation pushed Cecilia's powers to their very limit. Tendrils of toxic energy moved between the atoms of her bio-field, but she managed to throw layer upon layer of blockade against it. Some flickers of the radiation made it through and Cecilia Reyes' hair turned a shock of white.

Cecilia Reyes landed on her feet in Earth-Rupture, surrounded by the bodies of the dead and shattered survivors. But she herself had been broken. The trauma of the Rupture, both mental and physical, had caused Cecilia to become unhinged. Her powers would not turn off as she wandered away, disoriented, from the battleground. Reyes stumbled into a hospital (her past profession as a doctor guiding her there) and collapsed. As nurses put her on a gurney, she slipped into a coma. Proper medical procedures were attempted, but thanks to her perpetually activated powers, not even an IV could be administered. So she lay there, passing between hospitals and care facilities, comatose in an effective cocoon of her own power's making.

More than a year passed before she was awakened. She had been one of the first mutants tracked down by an unrecognizable Dr. Nemesis. She was a special case for him, because in order to pull her out of her coma, he had to make it past her bio-field. So he worked on her for months, developing technology meant to penetrate her defenses. And when he finally made it through he was amazed that she was in perfect health. She had undergone a kind of stasis, with no need to eat or drink. She awoke soon after with no memory of the battle or the Rupture save for one fleeting image--her standing in a field full of ash and bodies. At that moment, she decided that her duty lay in protecting and healing her fellow mutants, so that no other person will have to stand where she stood.

Cecilia Reyes serves as member, medic and chief medical doctor of the Earth-Rupture X-Men. She has no desire to return to Earth 616.

This is sick! Your character design and backstory are awesome.

And theX...wowzas! You rock!

You are too kind.

I absolutely love your Cece theX.

I'm glad, I was having a tough time with how she fit into this alternate universe. Thank you.

[pryde15]

Wow those are both amazing! Great job both of you!

If I'm allowed another one, could I get #60?

You've selected Sabretooth!

I want to do Storm, whatever number that is....

lol I'll give you a hint - she's in the latter half of the list.

[sethchristianmartel]

hey theX - I really like Earth-Rupture. I wish stupidass AvX ended a little more interesting than that. Would be a much higher impact ending than this Marvel NOW crap. Really nice entries, and I love the story. Would love to hear more (like whats going on in the other side of the split).

and Yoga - again, such a unique style. Really stands out, you really have this saturated color styling thats very cool.
