Hero Time?

There are times where you get an idea in your head, and that idea takes a life of its own. This was the result of a drawing challenge I took part in. The theme was "superheroes."

The Story:

It all started as a normal crime fighting outing for team Saiyaman, protecting some unknown substance invented by one of the top scientists of the world from a gang of thieves with super powered weapons. They managed to fight off the thieves, however the battle would leave Videl gravely injured, and Gohan blaming himself for what happened to her. In the meantime, the unknown substance made its way over to Videl attempting to fix her injuries ended up being fused together with her. Later that day Saiyaman still on his guilt trip announced his retirement from crime fighting saying, “If I cannot protect my partner, I am not fit to protect this city.”


A week later those same decided to come after the heroes, they’d come after Videl first and finish the job, but to their surprise they’d find a tall blond head woman wearing Videl’s clothes waiting for them. After defeating the thieves, and dropping them off at the Police station, she’d find Gohan and reveal her miraculous recovery, new look and new powers. After a few training sessions for her to get better acquainted with her powers, she’d convince Gohan to return to crime fighting as “Captain Gold,” and after finding an old Halloween costume, she decided to become Supergirl.


I did have a good time with this one, and even though I’m not much of a writer, I did enjoy doing the story to introduce this one. I’m still disappointed that in the end I had to find a city and use that as the background instead of making my own, but things like that happen when I don’t organize my time properly.
