Again, this figure was a pretty straight forward custom. I took the White Queen figure and added small strips of Milliput to her long gloves, which I painted black. I also used Milliput to craft a pair of boots onto her pants, which were also painted black. Next, I used a bit more Milliput to create a better belt on the figure.

Again, this figure was a pretty straight forward custom. I took the Kitty Pryde figure apart and completely repainted her body in flat black. Next, after reassembling the figure, I used Milliput to craft her new belt, which I then painted gray and added a crystalline bead to as a belt buckle. Once the glue holding the buckle had dried, I painted it silver. The last step on the figure's body was repainting the gloves gray to match the belt. Taking the cape from a Hasbro Marvel Legends White Queen figure, I repainted that black, and glued another, smaller crystalline bead over the cape's clasp to simulate the character's mystical power amulet.

This character is Red Sun, a solar-powered super-being (much in the same way that DC's Will Payton Starman was) who can generate red solar radiation (now we all know what happens to a Kryptonian under the rays of a red sun...LOL), who is a foe of the Earth-2 Superman's son Clark Kent, Jr. during his time as the Earth-2 Superboy.
Again, this figure was a pretty straight forward custom. I took the Timber Wolf figure and using Milliput, crafted the gloves' wristbands. Next, I used a little more Milliput to give the boots a bit more definition. Once all the Milliput had dried, I sanded it smooth and did a full body repaint.

The idea for this character came from a story in Superman: The Man of Steel #'s 80-82 in which the reality-altering villain Dominus creates a 1930's reality that he places Superman in. In this reality, he encounters the Golden Age Atomic Skull, an actor named Lawrence Dennis, who was also a Nazi sympathizer. In the story, he used his reputation as the hero of the Curse of the Atomic Skull movie serial as a platform to promote Nazism. To create "my" Golden Age Atomic Skull for the fan fiction, I kept most of this back story as canon, but added a few little inside touches to the character, such as making him a Nazi sleeper agent (instead of just a Nazi sympathizer) whose real name being Albrecht Michaels, a play on the real name of the Bronze Age Atomic Skull.
The figure was a fairly simple custom. First, I removed the head from the Psycho-Pirate figure.

![[The Son of Lightning/Lightning Master II] This is number 2 in my series of Earth-2 Superman fan fiction. The Son of Lightning, aka Lightning Master II, is the son of the classic 1940's Superman foe, the Lightning Master. I created this character and set him against the Earth-2 Superman during the period from the 1950's to the 1960's.
This figure was really simple to do. I first removed the Psycho-Pirate's cape and made up a batch of Milliput to fill in the grooves left in his back and on his shoulders. Additionally, I used milliput to create the boots and gloves. Using my Dremel, I sanded the areas that had been enhanced by the Milliput till they were smooth, and then used the boil and pop method to temporarily remove the head. Next, I gave the figure a full head to toe repaint in green and black. Once the paint was dry, I reattached the head and glued on two hand drawn lightning bolts to his upper chest (what made the lightning bolts different from previous symbols I had done for other figures is that after coloring t](userimages/customs/30000/29927-1.jpg) The Son of Lightning/Lightning Master II DC Directby manomight1974This is number 2 in my series of Earth-2 Superman fan fiction.

The character of Bonechill was originally created for the short-lived 1988 Ruby-Spears Superman animated series and was a man named Chilton Bone who used a mystical amulet called the Talisman of Ola to transform himself into a skull-faced sorceror named Bonechill with the ability to bring to life, albeit temporarily, creatures and monsters from horror movies and tv shows. Using this as the basis for my fan fiction, I kept the character's history pretty much the same, but just slightly altered his look and had him as an enemy of the Earth-2 Superman's son, Clark Kent, Jr., aka Superman 2.
This was a fairly simple custom to do. I removed the Anubis head from the existing body, leaving the neck and neck ball joint completely intact to accommodate the new head.

![[First Appearance Luthor] Basically, this is Luthor as he first appeared in Action Comics #23 (Apr, 1940), where he is a wily genius residing in a flying city suspended by a dirigible. Having taken control of several European countries through his machinations, he tries to provoke a war between the two fictional nations of Galonia and Toran with the help of a crooked General who he kills for betraying him, planning to set all the nations of the world at war, but is stopped by Superman.
This was a fairly simple custom to do. I used the boil and pop method to remove the Daniel Jackson head and then commenced a full repaint of the figure, and then heated the neck under hot water to reattach the head. Afterwards, I did some minor paint touch-ups on the figure, and TA-DA...Luthor as he first appeared in Action Comics #23!!!!

I wanted a custom Superboy figure in his VERY short-lived costume from the back-up story in The New Adventures of Superboy #18 entitled "Day of the Costume Change!" In this story, Clark gets the idea that he needs a change in style, so he asks Martha to sew him a new costume, with the majority of the suit being in yellow. This idea kinda backfires in that, because it is mostly yellow, it seems to block out the rays of the yellow sun (yeah, I know, kind of a lame excuse).
Anyway, this was a pretty simple custom to put together. It was just a simple full repaint of ALL costume details, and then I slapped on new chest and cape symbols with a little glue (both symbols were made by hand at a larger size, and then photocopied and shrunk to proper size), and TA-DA...a Superboy in his short-lived alternate costume!!!!

![[Zatara the Magician] Another figure for my classic Superboy collection...Zatara the Magician!!!! Zatanna's magician father, John Zatara encountered Superboy on two separate occasions in the Bronze Age of comics (once when he was Superbaby, once when he was Superboy).
This was a fairly simple figure to do. I had an extra DC Universe Classics Joker figure, which I removed the head, tuxedo jacket, and hands from. With the figure headless, jacket-less, and hand-less, I cut the tie off and gave him a full body repaint to match the artwork from the 1986 Who's Who entry. Once fully repainted, I used my Dremel to grind down the neck ball joint into a post. With that done, I set the figure aside and began work on the head. The head is a Marvel Legends Doctor Strange which I used my Dremel to remove the soul patch from his chin and then repainted. Next, I drilled a small hole into the base of the neck in the front just under the collar which I then inserted the bow-tie from a DC Direct Silver Age Superman Se](userimages/customs/30000/29788-1.jpg) Zatara the Magician | ![[Tom Turbine] Okay, this one is a bit interesting. Having watched the Justice League Season One episodes "Legends Parts I & II" several times, I found myself really liking the character of Tom Turbine, the Justice Guild of America's resident strongman and super-scientist. After researching the episodes online, and looking up the J.G.A. on Wikipedia, I found that the character of Tom Turbine was an amalgamation of sorts of two Golden Age J.S.A. mainstays...Superman and the Atom. Now, since in 1949 it was revealed that Superman had a superhero career in his youth as Superboy, I postulated that since Tom Turbine was in a sense his world's Superman, it was reasonable to assume that he too had a teenage superhero career.
So, I set about trying to make a figure of Tom Turbine as a Superboy-like character.
It was a pretty easy figure to do. I took a Crisis on Infinite Earths Series 3 Earth-Prime Superboy and removed the cape.

![[Superboy (Superboy TV Series)] Since we never got a figure of Gerard Christopher as Superboy in the Superboy/Adventures of Superboy TV Series, I set about creating us one.
I removed the head from a Crisis Superboy body, and having had an extra Smallville Series 1 Clark Kent head lying about, I began the long modification process to meld the two pieces into one figure (I used the Smallville Series 1 Clark Kent head mostly because there is a slight resemblance between Gerard Christopher and Tom Welling, and I thought once repainted, that the head would be more Christopher and less Welling).
First, I used my Dremel to excavate out a new hole in the head and also remove the small portion of neck from it so that the head and the Superboy figure's neck could fit together nicely and neatly. I next added a bit of Milliput to the neck to build it up slightly and enable it to fit properly. As soon as the Milliput had dried, I sanded it smooth, and used my Dremel to remove the ball portion of the Superboy's neck peg, leavi](userimages/customs/30000/29693-1.jpg) Superboy (Superboy TV Series) DC Directby manomight1974Since we never got a figure of Gerard Christopher as Superboy in the Superboy/Adventures of Superboy TV Series, I set about creating us one.

So, keeping that in mind, when the Crisis Superboy (which was just the same body with a rubberized plastic cape and new head sculpt) was released, I found my way to fix an small injustice that Superboy fans had to endure.
I removed the Crisis Superboy head, repainted the neck and hands to more closely match the Silver Age head, then attached the Silver Age head in it's stead), and TA-DA...Superboy as he appeared in the Silver Age of comics!!!!

![[Pete Ross as Superboy] This one was inspired by several issues of Superboy back in the Silver Age when Pete Ross was temporarily granted Superboy's powers and had to act in his stead.
It was a pretty straight-forward, easy custom to do. I merely removed the head from the Crisis on Infinite Earths Earth-Prime Superboy figure, and swapped it out with a Silver Age Superboy head from the Superboy/Supergirl boxset. Before i could put the new head on the body, I repainted the neck and hands to more closely match the skin of the head. I then had to modify the hairstyle to more closely match that of Pete Ross with my dremel and some Milliput, and once the Milliput was dry, I repainted the black hair blonde and then reattached the head. As soon as the head was reattached, I applied new symbols to his chest and back that more closely matched the look of the "S" symbol of the Silver Age of Superboy stories), and TA-DA...Pete Ross as Superboy!!!!

First, I removed the upper body from the "Grave" Spike figure, and tossed it into the fodder bin as all I needed was the lower body and legs. Using my Dremel, I sanded down the belt and opened up the peg hole in the top of the waist.
Next, I removed the head from a Smallville Series 1 Clark Kent and Dremeled away part of the ball on the body's existing neck peg. I also chopped off the Clark Kent's legs and used my Dremel again to open a hole in the bottom of the shirt to accommodate the Spike figure's legs and waist. When the hole was open enough width and depth wise, I test fit the Spike legs into the shirt. Unfortunately, this proved to be a not-so-good fit, as it wasn't deep enough or wide enough. Alternating between further test fittings and more Dremeling of the cavity, I was finally able to give it a perfect fit. Pulling the two parts back apart, I mixed up a big glob of Milliput and jammed it into the cavity. Next](userimages/customs/30000/29515-1.jpg) Clark Kent |
![[The Insect Queen] Okay, here comes yet another figure in my Silver and Bronze Age Superboy collection, the Insect Queen! As we all know, the Insect Queen is in reality Superboy's girlfriend/nuisance Lana Lang. She possesses an alien Bio-Ring given to her by a benevolent alien she rescued from being trapped under a fallen tree branch outside of Smallville. The ring enables Lana to take on the abilities, characteristics, and lower body of virtually any insect and/or arthropod form she can fully visualize once every 24 hours.
The figure was a major pain to make, but in the end very rewarding. After first removing the belt and head from the DC Universe Classics Donna Troy with my Dremel, I set about using Milliput to fill in the holes in her abdomen from where the belt had been and lengthen Donna's Amazonian bracelets into the Insect Queen's bracers. Once the Milliput had dried, I sanded it smooth, and cracked open the upper torso and added a small portion of Milliput around the neck to create the coll](userimages/customs/29500/29424-1.jpg) The Insect Queen | ![[Iron Munro of the Young All-Stars] Okay, I always liked DC's old series "Young All-Stars", and in particular, team member Iron Munro. Yes, I know that he was only created to fill in the gaps of DC's 1940's era history created after Crisis on Infinite Earths when there was no Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman during WWII. However, I still liked the character, and thought he deserved the custom figure treatment.
Now, the figure was a pretty straight forward custom, with very little work done to the base other than a full repaint of the T-shirt, pants, belt, and boots. However, I had to create Iron Munro's "skunk-stripe spit-curl". So, using a glob of Milliput, and a Superman figure as reference, I modded out his hairstyle, and then used an actual comb to create the definition and lines in the hair. Once the Milliput had dried, I painted the stripe white, and TA-DA, the Young All-Stars' teenage Superman, Iron Munro!!!!!!!

The Kryptonite Kid was a telepathic alien juvenile delinquent who was shot into space along with a dog and, after passing through a strange radiation cloud, was imbued with Kryptonite radiation, able to generate it from his body at will, fire bursts of it from his hands, and even imbue objects with K-radiation, effectively turning ordinary household objects into Kryptonite temporarily.
The figure was pretty easy to make. After first removing the cape and belt with my Dremel (I didn't have to do anything in regards to the head as I had already removed that and used it for my Silver Age Pete Ross figure, which you can also find here on the 'Realm...hint-hint, wink-wink, nudge-nudge), I set about using Milliput to create the pointed boot tops and to fill in the grooves from the chest symbol.

She is a genetically altered clone of Power Girl created by Professor Ivo while working for Maxwell Lord. She has black hair instead of blonde (essentially, you can consider Divine to be Power Girl's equivalent of a Bizarro).
Divine was a pretty easy custom to do. I took a Mattel WWE Natalya figure, removed the extra chest wrap and head, and then proceeded to paint her bra, pants, and boots black. Next, I removed the hands temporarily and added a bit of Milliput around the wrists to create the glove straps, and then also painted that black. Afterwards, I repainted all exposed areas of her flesh with a specially mixed paint to more closely match the skin tone of the head I had chosen.

![[Superboy (Cadmus Field Agent Costume)] Okay, here is one of the most involved customs that I have so far done. From Connor Kent's first Superboy series, issues 76-79 comes his Cadmus Field Agent costume. A LOT of work went into this figure.
The upper body comes from a Diamond Select Buffy the Vampire Slayer Spike figure. After removing it from the lower body, I gouged out the bottom of the shirt and trimmed it back to shorten it. The gouging out of the bottom of the shirt was to make an over-sized peg hole for the lower body which came from a DC Direct New Teen Titans Jericho action figure. I test fitted the lower body into the upper body, and after a little bit more gouging, trimming, and sanding, I glued the lower body into the upper body. Once the glue was dry, I trimmed back the neck and wrists a bit to accommodate the head and hands from a DC Direct Return of Superman Superboy. Since the Superboy neck ball joint was too big, I used my Dremel and engraving tool to reduce that in size to accommodate the Spike figure's n](userimages/customs/26500/26377-1.jpg) Superboy (Cadmus Field Agent Costume) DC Directby manomight1974Okay, here is one of the most involved customs that I have so far done.

The figure is a pretty straight-forward custom. I slapped on new chest and cape symbols with a little glue (both symbols were made by hand at a larger size, and then photocopied and shrunk to proper size...however, unlike previous hand drawn symbols I had done before, these are drawn with a slight curve to each of the sides as well as a slightly smaller size to more match the look of the "S" symbol of the late Silver Age/Bronze Age of Superboy stories), and TA-DA...Superboy as he appeared in the Bronze Age of comics!!!!

![[Superboy (Earth-116)] Okay, here goes. I was back re-reading my entire run of the original Superboy series, and came across a story from issue 116, in which a Superboy from a parallel universe (which has since been designated as Earth-116) comes to Earth-1. This alternate Superboy could be differentiated from "mainstream" Superboy by the fact that the colors of his chest insignia were reversed. During a mission in space, this Superboy is hurled from his universe to Earth-1 by the force of an exploding warhead containing Red Kryptonite. Upon his arrival in Smallville, the effect of the Red Kryptonite twists his personality and compels him to ruin the reputation of a good friend, which he attempts to do to Police Chief Parker. When Superboy and Krypto arrive to stop this "false" Superboy, the effects of the Red Kryptonite begin to wear off, and he explains his actions before fading back to his parallel world.

Well, I wanted to have a Chandu figure for my Superboy set, so I got myself an extra Gorilla Grodd. First, I set about removing his telepathic headpiece, and then I filled the exposed holes in his head with Milliput. Once the Millupt was dry, I used my dremel with my engraving tool attachment to carve out the Milliput to more closely match the tufts of hair on the sides, top, and back of his head. Next, I mixed myself some dark gray paint to more match the dark areas of the Grodd body and I repainted the entire back portion of the head.

In issue 25, cover dated January 1982, we are introduced to a villain called Doctor Chaos, who was designed to look like a reversed Doctor Fate. I loved the concept of an "evil" Doctor Fate to battle Superboy, and I just had to make one to go with my set of classic Superboy character figures.
So, I got myself a loose DC Universe Classics Doctor Fate and popped him open. I took the collar from a DC Universe Classics Mister Miracle and after trimming out the collar area on Doctor Fate's cape, I used milliput and glue to attach the collar to the cape. Once the glue had dried and the new collar was solid, I commenced a full repaint of the cape. Setting that aside, I set about repainting the entire body, and then attached the Amulet of Anubis from a DC Direct Doctor Fate to his chest.

I had to crack open the torso of the Toy Biz Spider-Man Movie Norman Osborn, Dremel out the arm holes to fit the arms from the DC Direct Smallville Series 1 Lex Luthor, and after repainting the legs, arms, and torso, made up a BIG glob of Milliput and inserted small chunks of that around the arm holes to create a new notch for the arms on both sides. Once the Milliput was dry, I sanded it down a little, test fitted the body back together, and once I was satisfied with that, I pulled the body back apart I added a little Testors Modeling glue around the seams and inside pegs to seal the body back together. While I waited for the glue to dry, I set about working on a slight reworking of the hairstyle on the Superboy head from a DC Direct Silver Age Superboy and Supergirl boxset (i.e., removing the spit curl) with some Milliput and yellow paint to create Pete's blond hair.

Next, I took the head from a Doc Samson figure, removed the head, filled the neck hole in with Milliput, and then drilled out a new hole to accomodate the slimmer neck peg.

A simple head swap was done here, with a slight paint mod on the Replicator Carter's hands and neck to more match the skin tone of the Super Lois head.

![[Captain Spock] Okay, this one was pretty simple. I got the idea from a Star Trek short story from the book, "Star Trek: The New Voyages". The story, called "Mind-Sifter", details an adventure in which Kirk is subjected to the Klingon Mind-Sifter device and is deposited on 20th Century Earth, completely insane. While Kirk is treated in a 20th Century insane asylum, Spock is promoted to the rank of Captain, and put in command of the Enterprise.
Given that I already had a broken Spock figure, I went out and purchased a Kirk and commenced with a head swap. Pretty simple job. I ran the two figures heads under hot water to loosen the plastic, removed them from their original bodies, and then proceeded to attach the Spock head to the Kirk body. To finish it off, I gave the captain's body the Spock hands, and ta-da...Captain Spock, Original Series Style!
