ITT: Take a superhero or supervillain who's been forgotten/didn't stand the test of time and revamp them to fit in with...

Allow me to post one I made in an Immortal Hulk thread for Grutan, the First Hulk
>Government does another one of their "let's make our own Hulks and weaponize them" kind of things
>This time, they're not hunting the original down, but combining what they already have with technology to make an artificial, biomechanical Hulk
>Using Albert Poole's blueprints of his Grutan robot, combined with Pym tech, the best the government can reproduce of the Hulk, and parts of the Redeemer armor, the newest replication of the Hulk, is born, G.R.U.T.A.N (Giant Robotic Ultimatum To All eNemies)
>G.R.U.T.A.N comes equipped with Pym shrinking and enlargement technology, gamma absorption tech, concentrated UV lamps, and much more, all made to take down the Hulk.
>G.R.U.T.A.N , while made of both flesh and metal, also requires a pilot to keep it in check. Should there be no pilot, G.R.U.T.A.N will soon find itself thinking on it's own. Additionally, should the pilot's control be displaced while they are inside G.R.U.T.A.N, the pilot would be consumed by G.R.U.T.A.N's inner mind, and would be assimilated by the monster within.

That thread's about to die soon; here are some sketches I made for a possible re-design. I tried my best to keep the scowl, but they both ended up looking like rejected Ultron designs.

The current generation of modern heroes start calling him "Boomer T Century" and dab on him

Hey fuck you, Kite Man is actually cool. I may hate King's Batman, but I can at least admire the novelty of a gliding villain just taking what he can grab. Make no mistake, stunt gliding is actually hard as shit

>Take Frog-Man
>Just use him more because he's Frog-Man and there's nothing wrong with that

Ultragirl gets kidnapped and taken into space by radical pink kree that wanna succeed from the kree empire with her as their queen. She gets rescued by and joins the Guardians of the Galaxy.

I've always wanted to do something like this Toy-Man. The story is called Toys-R-Dead, playing on toy stores going out of business everywhere. Toy-Man's HQ/base is a forgotten Toys-R-Us (hence the name). He has the Toy-Family which was supposed to mirror the Super-Family during Rebirth. His wife Bar-Bee, his sons Toy-Boy and Boy-Toy and their daughter, Lil' Doll. They live in giant dollhouse in the abandon toy store. Bar-Bee is basically a sex doll but the reader is supposed to be big up on that. The kids are basically life-size toys with their own powers/augments/abilities.

Toy-Man's got a lot going on.

Basically Toyman's mondus operandi is very meta. He sees Superman and other heroes as "toys" that he can play with. Action figures in real life that represent how the Superheroes in our world are turned into toys and products for kids. Toy-Man's past is revamped to have him be a toy-maker who was basically going out of business in the past and tried to fight Superman as a marketing stunt to sell more Superman action figures. But Superman didn't *PLAY ALONG* and this ruined Toy-Man's life.

Now he's just seeking revenge on Superman and trying to get the world to appreciate and play with more toys again. He's attacking kids who use tablets and iphones instead of playing with toys, that kind of thing.

Anyway, it's kind of moldy since I haven't written much about Superman since Bendis took over and killed my interest in the on goings. The idea here is that Toy-Man is underdeveloped and can be turned into a A-List villain for sure, which Superman needs rather than more ROGOZAALLLLL bullshit OCs.

That's a cool idea and I like it user. Hulk could use more mecha-type enemies, it goes well with him.

Pass

I like this.

What does the T standard for?

Someone more creative than me do this with Killer Moth

Haven't we done him extensively in the past? I think Condiment King could use more attention

Dig through a bunch of old KM or Batgirl threads and you'll find Yas Forums has a pretty solid fanon for revamping Killer Moth.

Make Condiment King the embodiment of taking the piss when it comes to superheroes and villains. For the most part he's completely harmless, he's just here to fuck with everyone's ego by showcasing the absurdity and camp of what they're doing. How do you maintain your composure as a grim avenger in the night when some guy is throwing pickle relish at you? What's the point of a garish and high profile crime when you're sharing the news with some guy spraying people with remoulade? He's the jester farting in the king's face and the boy reminding everyone the emperor is wearing no clothes.

Green Arrow finds him hilarious and once showed up to fight him with a hot dog arrow.

So instead of a guy having a mental breakdown, Condiment King is doing like an ironic pastiche on how silly all this is? That could work, but I'm not sure how many times, because unless he actually does endanger innocent people I think eventually people would just ignore him.

I'm talking about the kind of character who pops up every few years for a one-off story. He's not dangerous, but he is a public nuisance because he's not above doing these massive, grandstanding stunts that interrupt daily routines.

Why not make him a low level, yet still credible threat? Nothing crazy, but enough to say "yeah he's worth calling Batman in". How about personality wise he's Guy Fieri meets Chef Gordon Ramsey? He specializes in toxins such as the Fugu Fish.

"The"

>Take a superhero or supervillain who's been forgotten/didn't stand the test of time and revamp them to fit in with the new Marvel/DC bullshit.
Owl and Agger come together as the leaders of the Illuminati/Moloch cult secret society in California. They buy off and blackmail the elite to gain power and be essentially untouchable.

> How do you maintain your composure as a grim avenger in the night when some guy is throwing pickle relish at you?

I love this version of Codiment King. Kind of reminds me of Vermin Supreme because he trolls polticians wearing a boot on his head, but honestly he's kind of an asshole himself. But sometimes people are just assholes. They aren't world-destroying menaces from a dark dimension. They're just assholes looking to get under your skin for their own amusement.

We need more villains like that.

>Fucking Drone-Man or something
That's what Chuck Dixon did with Bird in his Bane Maxiseries.

>Atomic Knights

Taking a page from the 80's retcon, The Knights were a Cold War era project. The goal was to emulate (in VR or otherwise) the kind of challenges the people might face in post nuclear world. The project was mothballed and abandoned, but nobody actually bothered to bring the knights themselves out of suspended animation.

They awaken in the modern era due to some quirk of fate (i.e.some teens obsessed with abandoned stuff stumble upon the bunker and flip a switch).

Their equipment is mostly the same, being the gear prepared by the project's scientists for the post apocalyptic Earth. Hence the rayguns (don't need ammo), nigh invincible armour (not power armour though, just an armoured HEV basically). Giant dogs can be introduced later on as a sister project, studying the possibilities of post nuclear evolution.

>Why not make him a low level, yet still credible threat? Nothing crazy, but enough to say "yeah he's worth calling Batman in".

What about the opposite? Batman made a great point lately here. Everyone wants to be costumed/themed criminal and they keep popping up. They do so because they actually get popular with the general public in a weird way, like the they keep getting away with heinous shit because the cops and courts don't want to deal with the super villains and dump it onto Batman and the super heroes.

So Condiment King comes along and just terrorizes people because he's wearing a super villain costume, never mind the fact he's just squirting mayonnaise on people. He's a super villain now! So the cops have to call Batman! Call the Justice League! Call the New Gods! There is a guy IN A COSTUME doing things!

Batman just shows up and basically asks why the local cops can't handle a guy tossing honey mustard packets at everyone. This would play into this theme set up in this page here where Batman is just fucking sick of all this shit. And Condiment King knows this and he is trolling everybody.

user I'm not asking for Condiment King to bring Gotham to the brink of destruction, I just don't see why he has to be a joke character for the rest of his career. Captain Boomerang doesn't get nearly as much shit for his gimmick. Saying "oh wow, this character is fucking lame" gets old fast and is a mark of uncreative writers in most cases, like Bendis.

>user I'm not asking for Condiment King to bring Gotham to the brink of destruction, I just don't see why he has to be a joke character for the rest of his career.

You didn't read my post at all did you? Or this one ?

> They aren't world-destroying menaces from a dark dimension. They're just assholes looking to get under your skin for their own amusement.

Once again, all day every day, I make a post and Yas Forums somehow reads the direct OPPOSITE of what I was conveying.

Maybe because you're shit at conveying your point? I don't know. Making Condiment King a troll doesn't seem like a fun or intriguing idea to me. Literally one of those posts said "he's not dangerous" ergo, a joke. That's lame.

We're talking about a guy with a mustard squirt gun, you realize that right? It's why all attempts to make him a "legit" supervillain come off as silly, tryhard, or make the character deviate from the concept, you simply have to embrace the camp inherent to the character

Fine. Condiment King is now a world-class assassin chef who kills people by making poisoned food. He's also a cannibal and has replaces his fingers with chef's knives because whatever.

>We're talking about a guy with a mustard squirt gun
No, that's all you're able to think of, so you take the easy way out and decide to peg him as a joke character forever.
>It's why all attempts to make him a "legit" supervillain come off as silly, tryhard
What attempts? As far as I know, they've only wanted him as a guy spraying ketchup.

Look the the theme is condiments, but that can utilized in different ways or mean something else. Take Sportsmaster for example; any asshole can point and laugh saying "he's good at sports? That's lame!" but you look at shit like Young Justice and they actually do something cool with the gimmick.

Okay here's a random idea I just pulled out of my ass; Condiment King is a drug lord and one of the best "cooks" on the market. Most of his product is smuggled in spices/condiments imported from outside Gotham, and is famous for concocting various hallucinogenic drugs from various rare ingredients

Hey no need to be a cunt, user. The idea is to actually do something meaningful with these characters. It doesn't have to be overtly edgy or power level related. Take OP's example, they actually play up the old tv show thing Xemnu did in the past and make it really sinister

>Maybe because you're shit at conveying your point?

How did I know you'd say that? Because like the rest of Yas Forums you say shit off a fucking script, picking the first insult-laden shit to fling.

I can convey my point fine -- you fucking retards can't fucking read. It's been like this for years.

I mean this in the most respectful manner possible, but the "everyone else is the problem, not I" attitude isn't exactly healthy.

Xemnu was fucking trash and is still fucking trash.

That's because sports involve a lot of athleticism, martial arts, and a great deal of equipment that can be used to hurt people. You just brainstormed a Walter White-knockoff with a vague association with paprika.

If you'd have been actually reading the posts instead of sperging you would have realized that we're not making him a joke, we're making him a comedian.

What this thread doesn't realize is that it was Condiment King behind the whole Szechuan Chicken McNugget Sauce fiasco.

Technically he’s still around, but I always had an idea for a Scorpion story that delved more into his background as a detective, and returned him to his earlier days of being a real threat to Spidey.

>Spider-Man follows the trail of a path of destruction where random thugs in New York City are either killed or beaten
>Peter follows the destruction to Mac Gargan, who has been interrogating seemingly not connected criminals
>Peter finds out that one of Mac’s oldest friends, one of the few people that was actually kind to Mac and treated him with respect, was killed in a robbery, and Mac is now on the warpath interrogating possible suspects and going through leads to find out who did it
>Spider-Man tells Mac to back off and to give the police his leads, but Mac attacks Peter, showing strength and speed that Pete hasn’t seen from Mac in a long time. Peter is beaten bad, but Mac lets him live out of respect for Spidey talking to Mac instead of immediately trying to arrest him. Mac warns Spidey to stay out of it and leaves.
>Peter tries to find Mac, but doesn’t find him again until Mac has figured out who killed his friend.
>The killers, two bit thugs who realize that the Scorpion is after them, hire an upgraded version of the Enforcers, complete with exo-suits.
>Scorpion and the Enforcers fight, with Peter entering the fray.
>The Enforcers are beat, and Mac tries to kill the robbers, but Spidey interferes.
>Spidey and Scorpion duke it out, with it going in Mac’s favor.
>The robbers help Spidey so Mac doesn’t kill them, and hit Scorpion with a truck, which causes part of a building to collapse on Mac.
>Mac is clearly is too hurt to fight, but won’t stop. Peter knocks Scorpion out cold, then captures the robbers who try to shoot Mac.
>Mac is placed into a high security prison, who Peter visits and has a heart to heart with. Mac tells Spidey that he owes him, and says that his debt will be to sit out his prison sentence without struggle.

Pic not related? "ohhh I'm a dream monster, I manipulate your dreams" fucking unoriginal and shallow piece of shit.

>any asshole can point and laugh saying "he's good at sports? That's lame!
Most assholes don't know how hard shit is. If LeBron James became a supervillain and started wearing bulletproof armor, how many people do you think could stop him?

>attempt at keeping with the times
>making him into uhhhhh Fucking Drone-Man or something
?????????
wat??

>you get busted while doing repairs on a drone while naked one time and suddenly you're Fucking Drone-Man for the rest of your life

Not really a dream, just capable of mass hypnosis.

It would be nice if Mac remembered he was a detective, but was it ever indicated in-story that he was any good at it?

Stop him from doing what? Playing Basketball?
That's all he knows how to do?

Everyone else is the problem when I type out 8 different posts explaining the same thing and everyone keeps calling me something I'm not or saying I got to a website go to or that I'm supporting something I LITERALLY SAY IN THE POSTS THAT I AM AGAINST.

Yeah, at that point it's on Yas Forums and their shit reading comprehension and trolling. In another post an hour ago, the first fucking sentence I said was "I don't support Communist China" and the first reply I got was someone accusing me of supporting Communist China. It's either shitty fucking reading comprehension or shitty trolling that comes off as shitty reading comprehension.

Respectfully, it's not just you, it's everyone here. I see it happening to all anons. People don't read posts, they just reply to buzzwords they see.

It's okay if you don't like something but your "criticism" is clearly bullshit, he's not "keeping with the time" he just slightly changed the character as a more likeable and wholesome guy while still being a villain, it contrast well with the rest of Batman and in fact most supervillains.

He's 6'9 and 250 lbs of muscle.
Most normal men wouldn't be able to catch him and most normal men can't stop him from doing whatever he wanted.

THIS. While I don't like Battle for Bludhaven as a whole, it was on to something for how to reboot the Knights while taking elements from the 80s ''deconstruction''.

Having them wake up in an actual post-apocalyptic scenario could be cool too.

Killer moth becomes a merc on par with batman. Also he gets a new makeover to look like a rose maple moth.

We never got enough of it to tell.
To me, Scorpion is one of, if not the, most mishandled Spider-Man villain. Every once in a while a writer will re-establish that he is an extremely dangerous enemy who is stronger and faster than Peter, only for someone like Millar or Slott to immediately turn him into fodder for no reason. He has a lot of potential as a nemesis, and I think returning him to his investigator routes would be the best way to do it. You could even say that he gave up trying to figure out who Spider-Man was because his enemy is Spider-Man, not the person under the mask, which fits a lot of stories featuring him.

Dude, have you read any Kirby comics? The real world really is yesterday's hell. By being in a comic book it would accent the things that for us go in one ear and out the other. The only real difference between now and a post-ap. scenario is the lack of a major city being hit with a nuclear bomb.

I wonder what a revamped Jubilee would be like? Not a vamped Jubilee, that's been done. I was totally surprised by the Larry Hama version of her. What would the next one be?
What would a Fortnite and youtube challenge era Power Pack be like?
What would a Red Skull who walks away from supervillainy and tries to get a common job be like? Kinda Fight Club 2 I think.
I think the Nuclear Man should come back. It can't be Lex all the time, and the cameo they had of NM last year? was great.

It's kind of disappointing to me that it seems like in the end PB never learned how to stop micromanaging her candy citizens to the point where she stuck them all in that giant capsule machine indefinitely.
