And here are the main villain team to go with my superhero characters! From left to right we’ve got Phospho and Essence, Virus, Mimicker, Canine, and the lastly Squishy!
Some of their designs haven’t changed much since I first made them in the seventh grade (hopefully it’s not too obvious lol) but they’re still subject to change
Name: Lamply Shade
Age: Won’t tell anyone, but jokes she ‘older than dirt’
Height: 6”3
Birthplace: unknown
Ethnicity: Djinn (Arabian)
Relevant labels: asexual, straight
Powers: magic
Fav movie: It’s not a movie, but she doesn’t find the show ‘I Dream Of Genie’ hilarious
Fav school subject: she didn’t go to school
Fav animal: ibis bird
Comfort foods: Alison introduced her Froot Loops, and she was immediately a fan
Childhood interest: n/a
Backstory: She’d been doing the typical djinn thing for several centuries, lamp, wishes, repeat. Most recently Alison Hem (Ultra Girl) found her lamp, and they became friends after spending some time together. Alison ended up using one of her wishes to make it that Lamply could become a superhero as well and use her magic to help them fight crime
Fatal flaw: She people pleases too often, not being used to getting to express her own wants and needs.
Name: Matt Mathews
Age: 20
Height: 5”4
Birthplace: Terrace BC, Canada
Relevant labels: straight
Powers: Can turn his lower arms and torso into lava, general heat resistance Fav movie: He doesn’t have one
Fav school subject: art
Fav animal: birds
Comfort foods: he can’t remember what it was, but he knows his mother would make him some kind of special food when he was really little.
Childhood interest: he knows he liked trains before the island.
Backstory: Matt’s parents were part of a sinister organisation and worked as genetic scientists. Matt was the subject of one of their human experiments at four, and when that resulted in him getting lava powers he couldn’t control, he was placed on an uninhabited island and essentially abandoned. Canine was the only other person on the island, but since she was told it was her job to keep him from leaving they never bonded or worked together to get off the island. It wasn’t until Valala showed up that he was able to escape.
Hero files: Valala Valala
Name: Janet Oogleberry
Age: 22
Height: 5’9”

Height: 5”10

Fav movie: She doesn’t watch a lot of movies, preferring to just let Hera pick or read instead.
Fav school subject: Math
Fav animal: Lobsters
Comfort foods: Meringues, Chocolate cupcakes, soup
Backstory: Reverse was born with extraordinary intelligence, but as she grew up it became clear that there was something wrong with how she was trying to talk. Eventually it was figured out she was speaking backwards, so it was very hard for her to communicate or make friends. She met Hera in kindergarten and she was one of the only kids who bothered trying to get to know Reverse, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.
Fatal flaw: Communication issues, there are things she’ll pick up on that she won’t tell anyone about because to her it was so obvious why wouldn’t they have known too?

Relevant labels: trans woman, lesbian
Powers: Peacock tail who’s feathers she can pull out to fire like arrows

Backstory: While Hera and Reverse worked for the Goverment they encountered an evil organisation, and the leader Queen Cobra tried to use a machine on her to test if it worked. The machine ended up exploding and the resulting shock wave gave a bunch of people animal traits. Hera got a peacock tail since she was wearing a necklace that was a peacock feather.
Significant other: Reverse!
Name: Alison Hem
Age: 22
Height: 5’6”
Birthplace: Victoria BC
Ethnicity: First Nations (Songhees)
Relevant labels: Aromantic, Bisexual
Powers: Shapeshifting, both inanimate objects and living creatures (including people, though if she turns into another super powered individual she won’t have their powers if they aren’t physical (so if she turned into Valala she would have tentacles but they wouldn’t shoot water))
Fav movie: Charlie’s Angels
Fav school subject: chemistry
Fav animal: Dingo
Comfort foods: banana chocolate chip muffins, spaghetti, sprite
Backstory: Alison Hem was working on a high school chemistry project when her then best friend stormed in and instigated a fight about Alison’s perceived crush on a boy in their class (note: she did in fact not have a crush on him, but bff wouldn’t believe her) it ended with several chemicals being spilled and the classroom exploded. After the blast Alison woke up to discover she now had shape shifting powers, as did the ex best friend, who Alison then had to fight on a super powered scale.
Fatal flaw: oddly stubborn and inflexible for a shape changer
Eeee okay when I was in the seventh grade I wanted to have my own comic company and created a ton of characters and stories to go along with it! Over the years life happened and I moved on to other things, but I’ve recently picked it up again and decided to try and retool the concept into a animated tv show instead!
The story would follow a team of superheroes through both their battles and day to day shenanigans as they navigate life, conflicts, and love. Our main cast (from bottom to top in the illustration, Uotra Girl, Valala Valala, Magma Man, Hera, Reverse, Lamply Shade, and Monarch) are fighting against their own rogues gallery of villains. Each of the heroes with their own powers, nemesis, and interpersonal conflicts.
The genre of the show would be a combination of slice of life and action adventure show, with an episodic format and ideally closer to twenty two episode seasons!
There’s lots I have planned and lots more that I still need to figure out but I’m very excited to finally be sharing the ideas with people!
