Best laid plans of mice and supermen

Awhile back I mentioned I had decided on playing the Goalsystem games, starting with Supersystem with my daughter Zoe.  We're still going ahead with that but I may have over thought things a bit.

Zoe is going to be painting up her own team of 3 new superheroines.  I decided I would paint 3 new superheroes/villains to play with at the same time, but as her interest has been erratic I've gotten a bit ahead of myself.

Zoe's first fig when she gets it done is a "brick" arch-type which is both a pretty cool looking figure and one of her best paint jobs so far.  At the same time she started painting 'Princess Power' I started painting a "brick" of my own.  Meet Mac Roman.


Mac has super-strength and toughness and will also be able to fly.  Basically he's going to be my all-around super dude.  Think The Captain from Nextwave and you've got the basic idea.

For this project we are both doing complete repaints of some B-list (and maybe D-list) Heroclix models.  So here's my question for all you superhero fans; what was my figure originally before his re-paint?  I used a little putty to fill in some details I didn't like but other than that he's straight off the base, no chopping and swapping.

    1. OH YEAH!

      That's basically what it's for. I have 2 of them, they came with Marvel Heroscape and that center section (you can see the outline in the photo) is a breakaway.

  2. has the wall been repainted or is that the stock job even just a devlan (or whatever the new equilvalent is) wash on the bricks would make it pop more

    1. It's stock, straight from the game box.

      I'll definitely do some work on it when I base it up.

    1. It's actually a character named Damage from the JSA but he's more recognizable for his look after this one. Basically his later more popular look is almost identical to Atom Smasher from the Justice League animated series.
