Heroes: Riptide (Marina Kelly)

Marina was a marine biologist who operated out of the Bahamas, recording the habits of sea flora and fauna for scientific study. She has a huge love of the sea, often spending the majority of her time free-diving in the bay and interacting with the underwater creatures she loved so much. She even has a pet dolphin she named "Svo", an abbreviation of "svobodného ducha", which means Free Spirit in Czech. During a scuba diving tour she was leading, a ship containing a bootleg version of the Super Serum hit a rock, tearing a hole in it's side and causing the serum to spill out into the surrounding waters. The tour group and everyone else in the bay was violently mutated by the serum, causing them all to develop superpowers and drown. She was the only one to survive, as she developed the ability to turn her entire body into a being composed entirely of water. Horrified by what she'd become, she swam back to her lab and locked herself inside of her huge office aquarium. Shen then spent the next 2 weeks locked in her office, trying to figure out how to control her new abilities.  During her time, she learned that her entire body is essentially malleable, and that she can bend her body any way she pleases. She also had the ability to control water, breathe underwater, turn essentially intangible, shape-shift into other people, and morph her entire body into a puddle, allowing her the ability to slip through crevasses. After finally getting control over her abilities, she left her office and stepped back out into the world. On her first day out, she headed back to her favorite beach, just in time to see a yacht crash into the pier and start to sink. She quickly leapt into action and saved everyone on the boat. Everyone was in awe of the "Aqua-Lady", as they called her. She was reported in the paper, with some people claiming that she was a "Goddess Of The Sea". While certainly not seeing herself as a "Goddess", she was inspired by superheroes like Bonfire and Ryuko to become her own hero. She then fashioned her own costume out of a wetsuit she owned, and made her official debut to the public a week later. While finally meeting up with friends at the Marathon Mall, the place was accosted by a team of robbers who were trying to rob the jewelry store. Seeing a golden opportunity, she leapt into action and stopped the robbers. She then introduced herself to the public as "Riptide". A year later, P.E.A.C.E. caught wind of a new superhero operating out of the Bahamas, and they sent Ultra-Violet and Black Streak to investigate and offer her a spot on the team. They happened to do it at the exact same time Hazmax & Toxzita moved their operation to the Bahamas, who were planning on infecting the water with a toxin that would turn anyone who ingested it into a toxic mutant. The three heroes then teamed up and combined their abilities to stop them and cure all of the citizens of Nassau. After this, she accepted their offer, and joined the team as their resident environmentalist hero. She now spends her time helping out along the coastline between the USA & the Bahamas, stopping smuggling operations, helping out during shipwrecks and oceanic archeology assignments. 

What If............................... The Joker Reformed? 

This is an Elseworld's idea I recently had after rereading "The Killing Joke". I'd always wondered what would've happened if The Joker did take up Batman's offer at the end of the story, and I eventually came up with a story in which Joker does agree to let Batman rehabilitate him. At first, Joker just spent the first few months in Arkham Asylum actually complying with the doctors and guards. But he eventually does escape, terrified of change and just wanting to do his old dance with Batman. Realizing he needs to keep a closer eye on him in order to make sure this does work, Batman secretly has Joker moved into Wayne Manor, confining him to a single room and forcing him to stick to a specific schedule. If he even deviates once from taking his medication, he's going right back to Arkham. Alfred hates this idea, but sticks by Bruce's side out of loyalty. When Barbara and Dick eventually hear about this, they initially think that Bruce has lost his mind and that Joker must be playing him. But Bruce does manage to at least talk them into leaving him alone. After a year goes by with no intrusions or deviations, Joker is allowed access to certain parts of the manor, such as the dining hall and living room. Alfred is always there to make sure nothing happens, watching Joker like a hawk and flinching at the most minor actions. Alfred utterly despises Joker, as aside from Joe Chill, he is the primary cause of Batman's suffering. He killed Jason Todd, crippled Barbara Gordon, and has dogged Batman to the ends of the earth in order to forever play his maniacal game of cat & mouse with him. However, Joker is 100% serious about reforming and just wants to be allowed to show that he can change. One night while Batman was out chasing after The Riddler, Riddler ended up getting the jump on Batman and knocked him unconscious, trapping him inside of a 100 acre mirror maze littered with dozens of laser beams that fire randomly every 20 seconds. What Alfred and the others were unaware of was that Joker knows Batman is Bruce Wayne, he just never cared. When Bruce radioed for Alfred to send in Nightwing, Joker overheard and snuck into the Batcave ahead of everyone. He then stole the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh costume, hotwired the Bat-cycle, and sped away. While Batman was running through the maze and dodging lasers, he ended up getting burned on his left arm and was trapped at a dead end. Before the lasers could finish him off, Joker came crashing through one of the mirrors and destroyed the laser beam with an explosive Batarang. He then tended to Batman's wound before grappling them up to Riddler's control room. The two then defeated the Riddler and duct-taped him to the signal for Commissioner Gordon. Impressed with Joker's heroic action, Batman eventually started to teach him how to be a vigilante. It turns out that Joker was more adept at this thing than he was even aware of. It'll still take a while for him to earn the trust of the rest of the Bat-family, but he's happy as Batman's new sidekick. Batman & The Joker: The New Dynamic Duo.

My Redesign of Katana (Beware The Batman)

I suppose I've been on a sort of "Beware The Batman" kick recently. Yesterday I redrew the show's interpretation of Anarky. Today, I did the same for my favorite character from the show: Tatsu Yamashiro a.k.a. Katana. Tatsu is easily one of the best characters in the show; a former CIA mole in the League of Assassins who stole the Soul-taker Sword and faked her death when she discovered how powerful it was. She was then hired by her godfather Alfred Pennyworth as Bruce Wayne's bodyguard, a job that she excels very well at. After the League of Assassins made their way to Gotham and infiltrated Wayne Manor, they discovered Tatsu was not only alive but also possessed the Soul-taker Sword, they make it their mission to kill her and get the sword back. Long story short; they fail and Tatsu finds out that Bruce Wayne is Batman, who then takes her under his wing as his new partner in crime-fighting, Katana. Tatsu works very well as a contrast to Batman: stubborn, feisty, a tad arrogant, and more than a little stand-offish. But underneath it all, she is clever, quick-witted, good-natured, compassionate, self sacrificing, and truly heroic.

Though I certainly love Katana, I will admit that she has one truly noticable flaw: her design. I understand that computer animation was different back then (especially when you don't have quite enough of a budget to do more visually), but her design is quite boring. Tatsu never changes her clothes throughout the entire series. She doesn't even really have a "Costume". She just wears the same leather jacket and high-heel boots (which just seem impractical for her), but puts on a domino mask and sword strap when she becomes Katana. So I decided to fix that. My idea wasn't to just give her a samurai outfit, though. I instead took inspiration from her history in this universe as a CIA operative and gave her something a spy might wear. Instead of her outfit being all black, it's a reinforced black leather jacket and pants with red ribbing along the sides to add a bit of color. I got rid of the high heels and replaced them with black combat boots, like Batman. I also added black gloves and a utility belt to her outfit to break up all of the black and red, but also to give it a more tactical look. I also gave her a hair bun, as it just seems impractical to let her hair hang down and wave about during combat.

What do you think? Does it look better or worse? Tell me in the comments.
