![[X-23] X-23 is the clone of Wolverine. She spent her young life as a trained assassin for hire, until encountering Wolverine and the X-Men. She has since joined the X-fold, and fights for the rights of her fellow mutants.

On what was to be the team's final mission, the Orphan and the rest of the team were killed by assassins.
For this figure, the body is Moon Knight, and the unmasked head is Clint Barton/Ronin. The helmet was made by combining War Machine's face plate with a SHIELD Agent's helmet. The circlets on the costume are from the craft store. And now comes your question...How did I get the big head inside the small helmet? Answer: I didn't! I created an alternate head from a SHIELD Agent that slips inside the helmet, and made extra removable antennae.
Making this figure's head was a major pain! I started out by lightly adding grey and purple to the Ronin head. I didn't like it, so I tried pink. I hated this, so I stripped off all paint, including the original, then painted purple and touched up with grey.

![[Moon Knight] What's to say about Moon Knight? He's Marvel's answer to Batman, but crazier. How crazy, you ask? His super-hero role is one of four separate personas, who all worship the Egyptian god of the moon, Khonshu.
This is one of my ancient figures, completed before ToyBiz made theirs. The base is Deadpool (funny since I've seen a TON of Deadpools made from Moon Knights!), with the cape from Dr. Doom. I carved the lower arms and legs down and replaced them with rubber bungee to make the bracers. At first, I painted the figure completely white. Later, I 'dirtied' him up with a gray wash. The inside of the cowl was painted completely black, and I put varying layers of gray on the neck, to add to the shading effect.

![[Hydro-Man] Morrie Bench blamed Spider-Man for the accident that turned him into Hydro-Man. Since then, he's been a constant thorn in the web-slinger's side. Morrie isn't the brightest of bulbs, but he's smart enough to know there's strength in numbers, and has joined many criminal super-teams, including the Frightful Four and the Sinister Syndicate.
This is one of my most ambitious projects. I wanted him to be like a retail toy, with detachable water limbs. I started out with the (now standard) Banshee head, on top of a Sandman body. The feet are from Mr. Sinister. For the water arms, I took a pair of biceps comparable to Sandman's, and attached them to the arms of a 90's Hydro-Man figure. I thinned the biceps somewhat, to try and enhance the transformation effect. The water base is also from the 90's Hydro-Man, the figure detached from the groin and simply placed inside the base.

This figure has been in the planning stages for a LONG time, long enough that I thought I'd the first to display here. Since then I've seen a lot of great customs using the pre-ML Wizard. My problem was that I couldn't find the right body. Finally, I decided to use Cyclops as the base. The lower legs and boots are from Mr. Fantastic, and the shoulder pads are from Mr. Sinister.

She eventually joined the team, and became especially close to Wolverine. Later, she joined fellow teenage mutants in the junior X-team, Generation X.
First up, I must thank my fellow Realmers for the inspiration for this figure. I followed the 'standard' recipe of using a Marvel Girl base figure, swapped the head for X-23's, and added the pre-ML Jubilee coat. Then I added my own special touches; the hair is from LCBH Madman, the feet are from Asgardian, and the glasses are from scratch. I hollowed out the coat arms from the pre-ML Jubilee, and placed them on the existing arms. The earrings were made by splitting the Marvel Girl necklace in half. The shorts and parts of the gloves were made from rubber bungee, elastic, and the occasional cut from a knife.

I completed this figure years ago, but recently spiffed up the paint. The base is an Elektra body with a movie Invisible Woman head. Costume details were made from rubber bungee and elastic bands. The swords are from Taskmaster and Loki, and the cape is vinyl. This figure is probably my most memorable for what it took from me, namely the feeling in my hand, for a week! I found the item I wanted for the breast plates, a hard plastic ball. I don't own a dremel, so the plan was to cut it in half with a box-cutter, my usual method. It took over 30 minutes to cut the ball in half, and the pressure I was using to cut it caused certain nerves in my hand to go numb for over 7 days. Sometimes we must suffer for our art, right?

I started this project about five years ago, with a Morbius head and a Peter Parker body. It was so hideous, I threw it into a box, unfinished. I recently came across a Werewolf by Night figure, and the Vivisector project was back in business! I used Werewolf for the head, biceps and lower arms, as well as the thighs. Luke Cage provided the torso and shoulder joints, and Savage Dragon was used for the lower legs and groin.
On the Werewolf figure, it has a normal human hairline, so I had to add more hair to the forehead so that it appeared to start at the eyebrows. Rubber bands and label tape finished the t-shirt.

The googles were fashioned out of Doc Ock's glasses. The cape was made from vinyl. I also added vinyl to his shins to make the pants longer.

The recipe for the figure is He-Man for the upper body and legs. The lower legs and hands are from unknown figures. And finally, some ML parts: I used Dr. Doom's 'kilt', and added orange vinyl to it. The head is from the X-Men box set unmasked Wolverine. I don't sculpt, per se, so I meticulously added finely-sliced hair from other figures to make the goatee.
