Dynamo

[kybearfuzz]

Softball games were canceled last night due to rain we had earlier in the day. It seemed like it would have warmed up enough to play, but I'm guessing that they couldn't recover one or more of the four fields my league plays on. Boo!

So after a much needed nap after my first day back to work, I revisited a drawing I'd worked on the night before. This character is based on a friend who wanted "healing powers." Sadly, such powers are dull by themselves, so I elaborated on it as giving him control over a human body by touch. He can amplify the senses, drain or increase energy, cause or control muscle movements, and exert other controls over the body's normal functions (yeah, there are some cool possibilities there).

I searched the web for cool superhero names but none seemed to stick, so I tried for one energetic, yet non-descriptive. "Dynamo" isn't the best, but it's slowly growing on me.


DYNAMO

Happy Wednesday!

Oh, totally. My point was -- and it was somewhat surprising to me to realize this -- I think that nearly all (most? a whole lot?) of those function enhancements (except rate of healing) could be accomplished solely by fiddling with the nervous system, and the idea of framing it that way struck me as limiting/constraining the power in an interesting way.

(Of course, I think creative use of very specific powers is really fun, so...)
