Today, my two friends and I were given the task of entertaining 4 young kids. All of whom worship superheroes the way I did when I was still short enough to use the monkey bars. Being the only member of the group with any sense of direction when it comes to keeping brats busy, I set up the activity to create and draw our own superheroes. I haven’t had any interested in comics since I was wee. In my art endeavors I’ve only attempted comic style once or twice when I was 13, but I remember being 8, sitting at my tiny desk and stapling together printer paper to create my own comic books full of uninspired justice league knockoffs. Lil me would be too proud of this revisitation. My friends drawings were Hot Garbage™️, but they enjoyed the exercise a little too much. They wrote out whole character sheets with their strengths and abilities, even escaping to different rooms to invent their own secret nemeses. I neglected to remind them that they are both 20, and we are babysitting. They had more fun than the infants. Kiddos got creative but still followed the DC blueprint a little too closely. I went for a Vibe without any ideas as far as character or ability, then I was scolded for being blasphemous and failing to create a hero outside of a look. So here’s 0-BL1V10N, made in an hour with two black pens and some printer paper. She’s a rogue science experiment created and trained to absorb black holes endangering solar systems. Now she just goes around distributing tiny black holes to cause destruction or something. Yeah, she kinda sounds like a villain, but maybe she’s misunderstood or whatever. You write the arc, I don’t care enough. I successfully replicated a classic comic style that lil me used to adore, and that’s good enough. Cia0
