The Human Shield Revised

[kybearfuzz]

I revised the Human Shield design after a comment from dr_tectonic asked about something a bit more revealing. It makes sense actually. An invulnerable hero probably doesn't need much of a costume. It reminds me of the Laurel Kent characters in the "Legion of Super-Heroes" universe, a 30th century descendant of Superman who inherited his invulnerability. As such, she wore very little in terms of a costume (usually a glorified bikini with no shoes). I prefer this hairy-chested hero instead, but she was pretty cool.

I may go the force-field route power-wise so people don't accuse me of ripping off Laurel Kent. It works either way for me.

Trust me, no one's going to confuse those two!

If you're taking suggestions, mine would be that his force field is like the Enterprise shields -- something that protects him but which can be extended to others, perhaps by close contact.

That's a great suggestion too!

It reminds me of Troia, the next identity for Donna Troy, after her Wonder Girl phase. Troia had a "personal force shield" that she could project.

I guess all the good ideas have been taken...

LOL... I guess they are just variations on a theme. If I created a hero who could become well-hung at an instant, people could say it was just like Plastic Man :D

Or Reed Richards. I always suspected that's how he got the "Mr. Fantastic" nickname...
