Molecule man


The Molecule Man started out as a lowly laboratory technician who worked at the Acme Atomic Corp. But one day, while Owen Reece was bemoaning his position in life as a nobody, a cog in the wheels of the corporation, he became distracted enough to make a mistake that would forever change his life. The atomic machine he worked on blasted him with radiation, and he survived, but the accident gave him power over the very building blocks of existence. Without even knowing his name, the head of the corporation fired him, but Owen used his newfound powers to freeze him solid, using a wand that he believed he needed to focus his powers.

Steel Wind Ruriko Tsumura


Ruriko Tsumura was a gentle artist from Japan who was on a pleasure cruise when the boat exploded. She was washed up ashore, and was found by the Freakmaster, who replaced much of her mangled body with cyborg parts, and she was renamed Steel Wind. She felt honor-bound to serve the Freakmaster, who sent her to disrupt and ruin a series of carnivals. During the course of these missions, Steel Wind came into conflict with the demonic hero Ghost Rider. Steel Wind was subjected to Ghost Rider's hellfire and rendered comatose.
Ruriko's sister Sadae made a deal with Centurious to restore Ruriko, and in return was also turned into a cyborg, known as Steel Vengeance.

Steel Wind later showed up as a member of the all-female army of supervillains the Femizons, and helped attack the heroes Captain America and Paladin, who were investigating the group.
Later, Steel Wind and Steel Vengeance teamed up to attack a carnival, when they again clashed with Ghost Rider, but failed. In retaliation for this failure, Centurious killed Steel Vengeance.
Steel Wind later turned against Centurious, and was about to kill him when Ghost Rider convinced her not to. She rode off, to places unknown.
At some point, a Scourge of the Underworld failed in his mission to kill Steel Wind, and was executed by his employer the Red Skull as a result.

Face (Inferno Baby)


Face was one of the Inferno Babies used to open portals to Limbo and taken by Project Purgatory. Using information from Cameron Hodge, Ten mutant children were kidnapped, by N'Astirh's N’asteris, during the Inferno. The infants arrived in a cemetery, where the demon N'Astirh was attempting to create a permanent portal open between the demon infested dimension of Limbo and Earth.
The infants were teleported to Times Square, where the New Mutant, Magik, was opening a portal to return her teammates from Limbo and N'Astirh, using the babies as the points of an inverted pentagram (focusing beams of power because of their purity and openness to use them as natural, living conduits who could not block the flow of power and who would not know how to shut it off), kept the portal open. N'Astirh attempted to used them, and baby Christopher Summers, who later grew-up to become Cable, to open a portal from Limbo to Earth and was partially successful in merging the two realms. 
The X-Terminators and the New Mutants saved the children.

Meggan Puceanu



Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Born in a blizzard to a British Romanichal family near Fenborough Station in England, Meggan adapted to the cold by growing fur, to the horror of her family. Unfortunately, as an empathic metamorph, the more they saw her as a monster, the more monstrous she became, growing webbing upon her hands and feet, antennae on her head, claws, and patagia. The belief that she was some sort of monster was also affected by the fact that Meggan's birth took place near an ancient British fortress that was rumoured to be the site of dark magics. Meggan's family hid her away in their camper, where she watched television incessantly, totally immersing herself in the fantasy of the various British TV shows of the time (such as Gerry Anderson fare, Quatermass, Doctor Who and many more). Eventually, she met Captain Britain and fought him, but then befriended him. She fell in love with him, joining him as an adventurer. With him, she first encountered Gatecrasher's Technet.
After having been told by a telepath that her inner soul looked as beautiful "as an iridescent butterfly", during combat against a commando of R.C.X.-controlled "Warpies", she stabilized her powers on an attractive form that pleased Brian (and thus pleased her). Captain Britain fell in love right back, and the two began a romantic relationship. Together, they defeated Baba Yaga.
The two had a long and stormy courtship, marred by events both cosmic and mundane.

Marvel Comic's Gunna Sijurvald vs Sentinel, no Ealemoss



History
Courtesy of marvel wikia:
Gunna Sijurvald was born of an Asgardian mother and a Magzi troll father who had captured her. Even though she looks Asgardian, she was raised by the trolls. When the Asgardians captured Gunna, along with a group of Magzi trolls, they named her Gunna after her mother, and tried to introduce her to Asgardian culture with litle success. She escaped with the Troll after Asgard was destroyed during the events of Siege.

Concept
I love this character and wanted into the CMFC Eaglemoss, a good time to do it was when I took the decision to take part to the July 2013 Italian Custom Contest. My Idea was to give the impression of a fight between technology and primitive mistique power o this Asgardian character. That's why I choose a sentinel as opponent. As usual I went last in the contest, but that's another history!

Work
The 250 ml soap Ironman designed box was good to start the sentinel, having the head sculpted scratch built with Super Sculpey. And Gunna is totally new scretch from Super Sculpey and finished with Milliput (accessories). Despite the quality of the pictures and the speed (the job was made all in about 5 hrs of work about) I consider Gunna one of my best scratch bult figures.

Pictures
Someone to focus on Gunna, one with the entire sentinel and other to show the size comparison versus normal CMFC Eaglemoss figures. Size does matter (when you are a sentinel...)

Kaine Parker Red Spider


Kaine Parker (of Earth-616) is the first of five clones created by Jackal in hope to create a perfect version of Peter Parker.
He is currently the only surviving clone and has taken up the mantle of the Scarlet Spider.

"My name is Kaine. All my life, I was dying. I did terrible things. But now... now I have a second chance. And I'm Not going to waste it. I'm not Spider-Man. I'm not a hero. But maybe I don't have to be a monster. Maybe I can make up for all the things that I've done. Maybe I can stop running and have a life for the first time. And if not, well... Mexico's right next door."

Aleta Ogord


Courtesy of Comicvine:
The galactic beauty named Aleta had always been aggressive and devoid of emotion. Aleta is the daughter of Ogord, a member of the Reavers of Arcturus and her mother, Salaan. She hated her adoptive brother, Stakar, because unlike her, he was caring and passive. In her eyes, he was weak and unworthy of bearing the same name as her families. Time passed and the two would come to see each other with disdain and keep guard from each other. When Stakar became the age of manhood, he and Aleta went to the forbidden city to met his destiny. Although Aleta hated Stakar's weakness, she assisted him because he finally showed courage to adventure there by himself.
The Hawk God allowed Aleta and Stakar to be separated for a short time, although Aleta's physical body was killed in the transformation. Her body is actually made from light which she can make solid. During that time, Aleta had three children - Tara, John and Sita - who were subsequently kidnapped by their grandfather and turned into psychic vampires. Aleta’s children were killed and Aleta blamed her brother Stakar for the whole incident.
She and Starhawk both joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. In a battle with the Stark, she was bombarded with multiple lasers while trying to switch places with her brother. Somehow, this caused them to split into separate beings. Aleta started a relationship with galactic superhero, Vance Astro, because of her loneliness.Soon, Stakar begins to lose his powers and starts fading from existence. He tells Aleta that they were not supposed to be split so soon and attempted to fuse back together with her. Aleta refused the combination, and soon gained the majority of the Starhawk power. In the meantime, she helped Stakar by providing her light powers to him.
