Title: Homage

Found a pic of my old Homage character, a Kinetic Brawler "Drake Mallard"

Two, though the references were much less direct.

My first toon, Silver Spartan (Energy/Energy Blaster), was intended as an Iron Man analogue - basically as close as I thought I could get away with without sending someone's infringement sense tingling.  The name was reference to the Silver Centurion armor from the comics, though the bio just took the SPARTA thing and ran away with it (while dragging in references to Halo, 300 and a Cracked photoplasty contest entry just for kicks).

Booster Angel (Beam/Energy Blaster) was a transplant from a story that is basically one big homage to Bubblegum Crisis. Her armor ws a homage in concept, but not execution (author appeal for transhumanism and transforming mecha). Setting "*ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE*" as her battlecry was also roundabout reference to BGC, specifically to the opening song from the first episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajTAnMqhZB8

Unfortunately, I lost all my pics in a HD crash.  Well, two actually.  I managed to rescue everything off my PC after a house fire resulted in my PC residing in a flooded basement for nearly a week, only to have the external HD they were rescued to have a bad transport mechanism that killed any chance of getting anything off it.

But, I had a few homage toons...

Silver Beetle was an homage to, duh, Blue Beetle... and The Beatles.  Three of his costumes were silver and black versions of the three Blue Beetles' costumes.  The 4th was one of my own design.  His secret identity was Jean-Paul George Ringo.  Plus, he worked for the law firm of John, Jacob, Jingleheimer, Schmidt (which I just thought was funny)

Mister Dynamo started as an homage to... Power Girl.  I thought a male version of her costume would be funny.  Over time I morphed him into an homage for DC's Supernova.  He also had a costume to match Captain Marvel Jr

Wendigo = the public domain golden age Dare-devil, The Black Terror and The Crusader.

Aracari = Robin

Wombatman = Batman

Gryphus = Hawkman

Doctor Moonlight = Doctor Mid-Night (duh), Obsidian, The Shadow and Moon Knight

Scott Comet = Adam Strange

Zoinks = The Great Gazoo

Wihtikow = Deathstroke

Abe Vigoda = Abe Vigoda



Ace Andrews = Nick Fury (specifically the Jim Steranko version)

Electrotechnotic = Mister Miracle, Booster Gold
