Marvelling at a Crisis on Infinite Protocols

Fighting the system….

When the projects system posts the same thing four times….

Now I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about Cassandra Nova. But I do know that she is Charles Xavier’s psychically linked multiversal twin. So I put her in Charles’ outfit, obviously.

Watch a lot of old X-Men cartoons, get inspired to paint the villains! Stuck with a traditional scheme on this big guy, he was fun to paint.

I really needed to get the Daughters of Thanos as the Guardians just don’t feel complete without them. Then I found out that Atomic Mass were going to repackage them along with stuff I’d already bought so rushed out to grab a box while I still could!

The one thing that bugged me was that I wasn’t feeling the traditional colour schemes. Nebula’s purple outfit wasn’t doing it for me and everyone paints Gamora in the same white armour.

For Nebula I drew on her Avengers Endgame outfit of red and brown tones for something different.

Gamora I had to dig a bit deeper. Some comics lean into green and gold, and there is a videogame skin that has the Guardians in gold armour, so I leaned into that instead.

Ever completely forgot about something then wonder how you did? With X-Men ’97 coming out I talked my wife into revisiting the original cartoon to see how it holds up.

The answer is well enough that we are now deep into season 3 (despite the animators clearly struggling with the concept of things being a consistent scale), but what really struck me was how Mister Sinister is pretty much the primary antagonist and that I had completely forgotten about him yet remember lots of other things.

So I decided to start an X-Men villains cabal list and picked him up.

And there we have it, another core set of another game ready to go. Now I’ll just have to get some games in and have a think about adding to it at some point!
