![[Bear Paw] Hello All! Here is my stab at my first original character...BEAR PAW!!!! He's a farce of just about everything popular right now, and I think that is what made this such a good figure :) Enjoy the story!!!
He grew up as an outsider on a native American reserve in California and was known as a joke throughout his tribe. Being an outsider and having never been off the reserve, he grew up learning the evils of the world through VHS' at the local library. He trained everyday to become a formidable opponent against those other-worldly evils. When the tests to prove he was a man came, he met them head on. He already had the mindset of fighting monsters so his trials were a mere inconvenience more than a test. He passed them so quickly, he was given the mighty Bear Paw. A gift bestowed upon those that had a true warriors' heart. Upon receipt of the Bear Paw, he grabbed the closest motorcycle and rode towards Hollywood. Fighting injustices and righting all wrongs along the way. Once he made it](userimages/customs/32000/31904-1.jpg) Bear Paw Originalby ironlantern2814Hello All!

Another DC Direct/WWE mashup fig. I started off with a WWE Randy Orton and a DC Direct Brightest Day Hawkman. I've been wanting a bigger more aggressive looking Hawkman and this was a great addition to my bigger DC Figs. I kept the boots from the Randy Orton figure because, in the "real world" I could see Hawkman lacing up some old combat boots (maybe something from a previous life?) instead of the old bright red and yellows. I made the straps to look leather and a back harness for the wings. Onto the recipe!
Arms- DC Direct Hawkman
Wings- DC Direct Hawkman
Emblem- DC Direct Hawkman

![[DCUC Jason Todd Batman] Hello! I loved the Jason Todd Batman that DC Direct did, but I HATED the legs. They need more articulation!!!! After I did my last Green Lantern figure, I decided I needed to take this project on. SO I went to town on an Aquatic Warrior Aquaman and stripped him of his legs! Then I painted the underwear and boots with Tamiya Color Flat Black. Then I painted the pants with Tamiya Color German Grey. After, I shaved the back of the underwear to make the top part of the DC Direct batman fit a little snug and then put in a "pin" to keep the two together. It can move around and doesn't come loose after I carefully filled the parts with super glue :) I hope you like it!](userimages/customs/29500/29375-1.jpg) DCUC Jason Todd Batman DC Universeby ironlantern2814Hello!

Taskmaster Joined S.H.I.E.L.D.] What if Taskmaster joined S.H.I.E.L.D. after he left the Initiative? Realizing his potential as a hero, and the many perks it would have on his wallet, Taskmaster decided to join up with Maria Hill and Norman Osborn. Seeing Norman Osborne's treacheous ways as treason, and an eventual hit to his bank account, the Taskmaster decided to take him down from within. Thus, Taskmaster single-handedly prevented the Siege, which plans were later found out about and brought to the President's attention. Having a total change of heart, Taskmaster now trains S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Black Ops group and leads their Tactical Training and Defense Operation.
