![[Phantom Rider (Slade) & Banshee (his horse)] This figure is mostly made from a ML movie Punisher, ML Moon Knight head, LH Madman arms and other figure odds & ends. The horse "Banshee" is a repainted LOTR Arewin horse. This custom is based on the Marvel Comics character Phantom Rider. This character was originally named Ghost Rider as was the western comic that he appeared in, before the flaming skull headed biker we all know. In 1870 Marvel comics continuity, an Indian shaman was given the task of choosing a champion to right the wrongs in the old west by the spirits of a meteor from space. The shaman found that champion in the form of Carter Slade, schoolteacher who hovered around death after trying to fight off bandits. The shaman made Slade healthy again and passed on the message of the spirits, with that Slade took the role of the Phantom Rider with the help of the meteor’s phosphorescent dust that shined brightly in the dark of night giving Slade a eerie ghost-like supernatural look that struck fear in th](userimages/customs/7000/6777-1.jpg) Phantom Rider (Slade) & Banshee (his horse) Marvel Legendsby chaosemperorThis figure is mostly made from a ML movie Punisher, ML Moon Knight head, LH Madman arms and other figure odds & ends.

I was inspired by Glorbes' work in mixed materials and tried to re-create that look. I made a full costume out of fabric and leather and was still able to retain articulation.
Head and Belt: Mcf Toys 'Billy the Kid'
Torso: Quicksilver
Forearms: Jigsaw
Boots: Bullseye
Misc Revolvers
I used my knowledge of the Dark Tower universe and also took some 'artistic' liberties with his look. While unmistakably Western, the Dark Tower universe is not an exact copy of ours, it's more like a shadow of our world that is quickly fading with the sunlight. Therefore; his 'western' look wouldn't be exactly the same as our 1800's western look but close enough to be recognizable. In my opinion anyway. So enjoy and remember.....

His name was Reed - some say John Reed - until that fateful day when the posse of Rangers rode into an ambush. His father, his brother, and three other lawmen died that day, butchered by the gang they were pursueing. Saved from death by the mysterious Indian known as Tonto, Reed swore revenge on the man that had ordered the deaths his family.
But to protect those left - his brother's wife, and his nephew - he took a disguise. He took an Oath.
And he unleashed hell on the evils of the West...

That is, mixing the turn of the century style (the last century) with modern technology. A hi-tech low-tech hybrid.
I was excited for this contest because I could bring out one of my old role playing characters the Bionic Cowboy. This character was such fun, my friends and I even wrote up a role playing module around his version of the old west.
It was a world that mixed cyber-technology and gunslinging. A place where any Joe with two bits and a piece could be fitted for a DrawMaster 5000(TM) arm and try his luck as the west's newest outlaw. A place where steam technology met 200 MPH bullet trains.
Lots of fun!

![[Tonto] Any comic book fans in here?
Yea, I thought there might be a few. :)
If you are not reading the new Lone Ranger series' by Dynamite comics, you are missing out! I never thought I'd be into old wet comics, but when a story is done well, it is worth reading! The trades are available for the first half of the first series, check them out.
Anyway, Tonto in the new version is a lot more than a sidekick or comic relief as he was often portrayed in old westerns and western books. He is a total bad a$$!! He is also the Lone Ranger's mentor, teaching him how to be the legendary gunslinger we all know. He needed to be immortalized in plastic.
-----------------------------
The upper body is a Ripclaw, with the pony tail removed and the hole filled.
But RC is so stinking short! I replaced the legs with a biker wolverine (go figure, there was a tall wolverine).
The arms, vest and neck charm are all from a Mortal Combat Kano, as are the knives and knife holders.

The son of a prospector, the Morrison's barely found enough gold to buy the year's provisions in town, till one day Pa struck a vein of gold!!! They were rich!
But fortune doesn't last, least of all in the rugged west. As word got out, a band of claim jumpers crept up in the night and slaughtered the family in their sleep. They drug out the bodies and buried them near the river. But young Bill Morrison was not killed in that evil deed. A day later one of the townsfolk stopping by the river spotted the half killed boy. Fearing for the boy's safety the old man nursed Bill back to health without a word to the rest of the town.
Of course Bill learned of the tragedy, and taking the name of Mad Morrison, vowed his own brand of justice on the men that killed his family.
For years he sought them out, those murderous band of thieves. All the while righting wrongs the law forgot.

It all began with Castel's mother(Obviously). She was a Mexican Nurse, named Rosalia Morrez, Helping aid those injured in the wars between Mexico and America. After all of the battles were over and Santa Anna surrendered, 2 drunk Americans celebrated their victory by raiding her tent and raping her. Thus Castel was born. Castel was told by his mother one day, what had happened. She told him this as a caution he needed to take, with all Americans. This enraged Castel, and so he tracked down, and brutally killed the two men. It took him 3 years, but he had done it. Unfortunately, Someone else decided to get their revenge that same day. Castel heard screams of terror when he returned home. The whole village was in flames.
