...Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...

Was it over when Zane left One Direction? Hell No....

Then GET POSTING! I want to read more stories of what you all come up with!

I've got a short story but no costumes. The two teens I have seem to fit more with the Runaways. Never really got around to fixing attires for them, but got some ideas when The Initiative came around.

Here's my entry:

In the far future of 2013, the sentinel takeover of days of future past was averted... But now our merry mutants face a much bigger threat... Corporate politics! The mutant population has dwindled as the Marvel Universe is no longer capable of producing new mutants due to writers being unable to create any new ones, and they are slowly being retconned out of existence. Due to this emerging threat, Storm, leader of the X-men, decides to hire some help. She turns to the most feared and respected sell sword in the MU, Tony Masters AKA Taskmaster! Taskmaster's wife is sympathetic to the mutant cause and let's her husband be outsourced the the covert wing of the X-men, the X-force for an MSRP of $10... Oh wait is it $12.99 per day? Who cares as long as the 6" figures get all of the love! So here for your viewing pleasure is the Marvel Universe Avengers Infinite Series X-force Taskmaster!

X-force Taskmaster's first target is none other than Dr. Doom.

Taskmaster infiltrates latveria and is confronted by dr doom in public. Knowing how limited his options are, taskmaster decides to challenge dr doom to a trial by combat for his assault on latveria.

Dr doom easily disarms taskmaster, and seems to toy with him. X-force Taskmaster is down to just a quill of arrows. Taskmaster grabs an arrow that is tipped with a nano technologically nuclear tacticial bomb, set to detonate with contact on dr dooms armor specifically. Dr doom is defeated, and Taskmaster makes his escape.

Thanks K dizzle! Taskmaster's original gear was stolen. He only had a few leads but all of them went cold. The only thing he could come up with from his sources was one name: Macy...

K Dubious · 07-03-2015, 12:12 PM

My exact same reaction, lol.

Once the contest has concluded we should all coloborate on a storyboard that ties all the customs together and create a new thread to tell their intertwined story.

I'd be up for that. Once I've actually done my custom XD
It's Summer Holiday now, so I've got 8 more weeks to come up with it and make it.

EDIT
Although of course, I've since remembered the deadline is Monday after next XD

Ha ha we should all do a collabo: What if? Tales of the Toyark. It would be cool if one of us could get a retainer or consultant position in the toy industry. I can't wait to see what you cook up Jedi, I'm surprised we haven't seen more entries.

Maybe we make our own toyline, with The Shadow in Wave 1, deluxe Shadow with all his bits for an extra couple of bucks, Taskmaster in Wave 2, with affiliated characters, then whoever I come up with in Wave 3.

I hear the Pilkster is planning on entering further down the line, so his'll be good.

I bet Pilkters will be fantastic as usual. Since I don't have marvel's licensing I'd have to call Taskmaster something else... Black Bone?

kylactus · 07-03-2015, 01:32 PM

Maybe call him "job commander"? I'm expecting a bunch of entries on the last day, and me having to stay up all night reading.

CyttoraksCousin · 07-03-2015, 03:20 PM

Sorry for the cell phone quality, it's all I got.
-------------------------------
McDuck Bank: Duckworld branch

Dollar Bill: Mr. McDuck, someone has broken into your vault here on Duckworld. The thief has made off with a certain bag.
Transmitted Voice: Shall I get your cane sir?
Scrooge McDuck: Not this time...

Scrooge: Assemble my team Duckworth

JUDGE LOPNER- Maniac Lawgiver with a desire for decapitation.

Luigi on a particular nasty job, failed to save Iceman when he fell into the toilet. With his dying Birthday wish, Iceman granted Luigi his power and became FROZEN PIPES!

Earth's Scientologist Supreme, WILL SMITH uses his deep scientological knowledge and vast wealth to create a super suit to stay fresh and defend justice.

NEEDLENOSE NED; Ned the Head; Case Western High, he dated your sister Mary Pat til you told him not to.

Judge: My Lady is singing tonight
Dr. Smith: Sir, our only lead is this bottle of wine that seems to have been left behind. I'll use my connections to NASA to track....got it, leads to a warehouse on Earth.
Scrooge: Ned! You are closest.

Frozen Pipes: He got Ned, I can't believe it. Sir, the trail's gone-
Scrooge: DON'T SAY IT!!

Snowflakian · 07-03-2015, 04:01 PM

So far loving the entries and the differences between approaches.

A merged story line universe of them would be awesome too.

Mine's more a background civilian, so she could fit in anywhere. Even only randomly going for a joy ride in her suit at night. Macy literally can hide anywhere, Task Master is an easy write in for anything. And the Scrooge Crew makes for an epic cross universe team up helping provide that off the wall random comedic edge like Spider-Ham does for spider-verse.

So far it looks like all our approaches are covering a different essence of what makes comics great!

K Dubious · 07-06-2015, 07:40 AM

DUCKWORLD!!!

Snowflakian · 07-06-2015, 02:36 PM

Kinda surprised now that Disney and Marvel are one that Howard the Duck isn't from that Duck World.

Thanks to Howard, Ducktales is one of the few disney properties that can easily be put into the Marvel Universe without distorting anything.

Pilkster · 07-09-2015, 02:02 PM

Well I was going to post this the night before but what the hell

I thought I would go with the traditional way of story telling that got us all into collecting these figure and turning us all into plastic crack addicts.

I give you The Death Of Spiderman

I have written up a worded version if anyone doesn't understand the comic it does go into a little more detail but I wanted the focus to be on the comic. This is my first attempt at any sort of Photoshop type of work so sorry if the quality is crap on the comic pics

Great custom Pilk! That's the best way to convey the backstory we've had, and an incredible original concept!

K Dubious · 07-09-2015, 02:19 PM

Nice man Killer presentation!

Snowflakian · 07-09-2015, 11:33 PM

That's pretty sweet!

Fantastic job! The costume is a perfect blend of Spidey to X-Men too. Really digging it!

TheLongestDay · 07-10-2015, 01:53 AM

Loving the custom and story Mr.Pilkington!
