Sidewinder, Seth Voelker, Serpent Society


Courtesy of Wikipedia:

Seth Voelker was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin and grew up to become an economics professor. He failed to make tenure and was hired by the Roxxon Oil Company as an economic analyst. He discovered their criminal schemes and they permitted him to apply for mutagenic alteration. As the professional criminal Sidewinder, he was originally hired by Roxxon to retrieve the Serpent Crown. Alongside the third incarnation of the Serpent Squad, Sidewinder was able to return the crown to company president Hugh Jones, after a battle with the Thing, Stingray, Triton, and the Scarlet Witch.However, after his stint working for Roxxon, he decided to form his own criminal organization, the Serpent Society. He organized the Serpent Society, conducted initiation tests, and contacted potential clients. In the Society's first mission, Sidewinder dispatched them to kill MODOK on behalf of AIM. With the ability to teleport, Sidewinder promised his recruits they would never be imprisoned. This attracted several snake-themed villains, and the Serpent Society was quite successful. He also had a romantic relationship with Black Mamba.

In the Serpent Society's next mission, Sidewinder dispatched them against Captain America, and Sidewinder freed them from prison after their capture. He dispatched the Society to hunt down the Scourge who had murdered Death Adder. Sidewinder later rescued Black Racer, Copperhead, Fer-de-Lance, and Puff Adder from jail, and enlisted them in the Serpent Society.

Sidewinder was betrayed by his organization after Viper infiltrated the group. After being poisoned, he was aided by Diamondback and the two survived. He then freed Diamondback and Nomad from Commission custody. With Diamondback, he stole an artifact from Mister Jip on behalf of clients Ghaur and Llyra. He rescued Diamondback from execution by the Serpent Society. He helped Black Mamba and the Asp escape King Cobra's grasp, and fled King Cobra's reprisals. Sidewinder later unsuccessfully attempted to make peace with King Cobra by freeing him from the Vault.

Sidewinder retired from villainy in order to allow Captain America to help him get money for his daughter who was ill with cancer.

Some time later, Sidewinder was seen in an interview after his retirement from villainy.

Kimura, Marvel Comics


Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Kimura was born to an abusive alcoholic father and a negligent mother. Her life at home also mimicked her life at school, where she was also abused and tormented by her peers. Through unspecified means and at some point in time, Kimura's grandmother became her caregiver. At once, her grandmother tried to heal the emotional damage inflicted upon Kimura through nurturing, love, and understanding. However, by that point in time the emotional scars were permanent and her grandmother's attempts to reach her were futile. After her grandmother's fatal heart attack, Kimura took off, eventually coming into contact with the Facility. She then underwent some unspecified procedure that granted her physical invulnerability, density control, and reconstruction. She then exacted revenge against those in her past who had wronged her. During her time at the Facility, Kimura eventually assumed the same abusive role as the people who victimized her in the past, particularly to Laura (X-23).
 
This character was done starting from her nemesis Eaglemoss CMFC X-23, by changing clothes, weapons, position with Magic Sculp white.
 
Guys, Sidewinder and Joystick are in painting cabin, stay tuned! ;)

Lady Punisher (Lynn Michaels)

Courtesy of Marvel.wikia.com :

Lynn was a cop with the NYPD until she became irritated with the department's corruption and inability to bring in a serial rapist. She attempted to capture him herself by posing as bait, but the Punisher stepped in and, in a strange turn of events, the rapist escaped. Later, she teamed up with him to take down the rapist. Sometimes she had some deep feelings for Frank, but, after reading his War Journal, she becomes disappointed and deeply hurt, and later burns it, because she isn't mentioned and decides to disappear from his life.

At some point, she joined S.H.I.E.L.D. as a deep cover operative. Infiltrating Jigsaw's organization, she brainwashed Ian, a man who lost his family in Stanford, into an assassin. Also, she disguised herself as Diamonelle, a women who gave the Punisher medical assistance. When Frank was captured, she shot Stuart Clarke to stop him from breaking Frank out. Later, when Jigsaw and the Punisher were in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, she let Ian shoot Jigsaw to make up for the fact that she brainwashed him.




This character was created starting from a Ma.K. female pilot figure, rebuilding both arms and hands, and giving her a gun made with white Magic Sculp.
Hope you like her as I do!

Orka (Marvel Comics)

Well, first of all thatnks to cooksappe for apreciating the last Hydra guy.
As said many times the final countdown started. Here is the number -9
Orka!
 
Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Orka was originally an Atlantean soldier in the army of Warlord Krang, and aids the renegade Krang when he attempts to usurp the Atlantean throne from Namor. When this attempt fails, Orka goes into exile
from Atlantis with Krang. Orka is then chosen to be the test subject of Dr. Dorcas, the marine scientist who created Tiger Shark, one of Namor's arch foes. Courtesy of a belt with a psionic amplifier, Orka
is given the power of a killer whale, and aids Krang once more against Namor. The character skirmishes with fellow creation Tiger Shark, and the pair cause an undersea avalanche that buries them for several
months.

Orka eventually freed himself and allies with the other-dimensional Virago, and after battling Namor twice is defeated.
The Brand Corporation (a subsidiary of Roxxon Energy Corporation) summon Orka with the aid of the Serpent Crown, and in exchange for his aid is augmented: the character's size is increased to 20 feet (6.1 m)
tall and his natural abilities are increased, eliminating the need for the psionic belt. Orka is sent on a mission that brings him into conflict with superhero team the Avengers, with Thunder God Thor
knocking him unconscious.

When warlord Attuma takes over the city of Atlantis, Orka is pardoned exile and joins the Imperial Army. Part of an invasion force that attacks the surface world, Orka battles the Avengers and the Fantastic
Four, but is defeated by heroine She-Hulk and the Black Panther and imprisoned. Orka escapes imprisonment and joins marine team Deep Six, (also consisting of Attuma, Nagala, Piranha, Sea Urchin and Tiger
Shark). The group attack the United States and battles the Avengers and the People's Protectorate and are eventually defeated.

Orka features in several other Marvel titles such as Fantastic Four, She-Hulk and the Defenders. After the events of the Civil War, Orka features in the title Heroes for Hire and joins the team (also falling
in love with fellow member Misty Knight). He also strikes up a friendship with the Heroes for Hire's invulnerable administrative assistant.
Orka is killed in combat by a Doombot (a robotic copy of villain Doctor Doom) reprogrammed by the villains the Headmen.


This character was customized from Eaglemoss CMFC Hulk. The belt, fins and face were sculpted in Magic Sculp white.

Matt Colors and Citadel, plus a couple of washing Citadel and Vallejo.


The orininal character:


Hope you have long life expectation to see the last 8 characters. I think at least 6 of them are the best sculpting I have ever done. But the rate is up to you of course!

Byezz

Skif!
