Spider-Man (Marvel Comics)

Peter Parker




Spider-Man (Peter Parker)

This Spider-Man is obviously not a custom, but I felt he should be included with all the other figures.

Ghost Rider (Marvel Comics)

John Blaze







Ghost Rider (John Blaze)

John Blaze was a motorcycle daredevil who ended up signing his soul over to Satan to save his father (in the movie) or his adoptive father (in the comic). Satan tried to cheat John, but because he sold his soul out of love Satan lost his hold on Ghost Rider. However, the curse remained.

Venom (Marvel Comics)

Eddie Brock







Venom (Eddie Brock)

Eddie Brock was a photographer for J Jonah Jamison. However, after a series of problems, Eddie was fired from his job. Brock blamed Peter Parker for his many problems including his being fired. It was in a bell tower that Spider-Man was separated form the the Symbiote Venom, who then found Eddie Brock. Having been with Peter Parker, Venom knew everything about Parker and melding with Eddie Brock's hate for Parker, the union made the two a force to be reckoned with. Venom is one of Spider-Man's most ferocious enemies. Venom is invisible to Spider-Man's Spider Sense and he also knows Parker's areas of weakness, both emotionally and physically.

Spider-Man Black Symbiote (Marvel Comics)

Peter Parker






Spider-Man Black Symbiote (Peter Parker)

Most everyone knows how Peter Parker became Spider-Man. However, not everyone knows about the Symbiotes. "The Symbiote is a specific species of extraterrestrial organism and are sometimes referred to as "living costumes" because of the way the amorphous creatures envelope their hosts and can act as clothing or a costume" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiote_%28comics%29). Peter Parker came in contact with the Symbiote known as Venom at which point his costume changed to black.

Captain America (Marvel Comics)

Steve Rogers




Captain America (Steve Rogers)

Captain America came into being during WWII and was known as the first Avenger. He has a movie coming out and has had some references in other Marvel Comics movies. Before he became Captain America, Steve Rogers was a scrawny weakling, but he had the heart of a soldier. He was given a super solider serum that turned him into Captain America. This is about the most common design of Captain America.

Blade (Marvel Comics)





Blade (Eric Brooks)

Blade is a vampire hunter. Although there are three movies made about this character, I first saw him in the Spider-Man cartoon. Like the Punisher, Blade is a darker character in the Marvel Universe. Blade is determined to wipe out all vampires even though he himself is part vampire. The minifigure here is a representation of Blade from his first movie.

Wade Wilson (Marvel Comics)





Wade Wilson (Dead Pool)

Here is a minfigure of Wade Wilson before he becomes Dead Pool (as he is seen in X-Men Origins). I really liked the representation from the movie so I made a figure to match.

Punisher (Marvel Comics)





Punisher (Frank Castle)

The Punisher is another character in the Marvel Universe. He has had a couple of movies made about his character (They are rated R and not endorsed by me). The Punisher's real name is Frank Castle and he is one of the darker characters in the Marvel Universe. He became a super hero after his wife and son were killed in shootout. In many ways he is similar to Batman, but the Punisher has no qualms about killing criminals. The Punsher has a strong belief in justice, he just has a tendency to take it into his own hands. My Punisher shown here is based on the comic version of the character.

Dead Pool (Marvel Comics)






Dead Pool (Wade Wilson)

Dead Pool is a character in the Marvel Universe and was in the movie X-Men Origins Wolverine. My mini figure's costume design is based on the comic book version of Dead Pool. I always thought he looked a lot like Spider Man on steroids. I also liked the fact that he is a trained swordsman and knows how to handle firearms. Given my interest in the character, I put my creative skills to work and here he is.
