Xanga SuperHeroes
I have been watching a LOT of DC and Marvel comic book films, and that combined with my desire to find somekind of workable theme in which to draw various Xangans has brought me to the realisation that what Xanga needs is SuperHeroes!
Much like the Justice League of America and The Avengers, The Xanga Legion or XL is a super hero team who fight boring blogs and bad spelling where ever they find it.
Mainly it’s just a fun excuse to motivate myself to continue learning to draw so I shall be adding new Heroes when I can but if anyone wants one specifically then don’t hesitate to get in touch, also if I’ve made a terrible mistake and you already had certain powers picked out (if you like me have already thought about what you’d like should you ever gain super powers) I’m more than happy to alter existing drawings and details.
Also if anyone has a better name for this group of superheroes i’d love to hear suggestions as XL was the best i could come up with…(and it’s a little bit roman).
Now the classic dodgy back stories for the 7 Heroes i’ve done so far.
RoadLessTaken
Reality
When a secret government project involving Nano-Bots went wrong one brave student sacrificed himself to save others by throwing himself into the path of the rampaging Nano-Swarm.
As the Nano-Bots engulfed him he managed to over power their swarm mind and merge with them. Now Reality has the power to re-form himself on the Nano level making him almost invulnerable, he can also interface with almost any technology instantly gaining control over external computer and mechanical systems, he can also remake raw materials into almost anything.RockStarJuiceNStarBurst
SnowAngel
During particularly high solar activity a lone custodian of an arctic research base got lost in high winds. Freezing and alone she was seconds from death when the full brunt of the Solar wind hit the earths magnetic fields, above the sky ignited in cascades of green aurora the solar energy was so strong it pushed down through the magnetic shield of the planet and touched the ground where she lay.
On that day SnowAngel was re-born, now with power over the cold, snow and ice she is able to travel at the speed of the wind by transforming into liquid and snow.SerenaDante
Amore
Amore is the divine child of Aphrodite sent to this earth to save us from our selves. She can fly and is almost indestructible since she is a Demi God. She also has the ability to project a wave of pure love that disables any and all weapons.HelloKitty0809
Genie
A geneticist who discovered a way to gain control over her own DNA, she now can morph her body or limbs into that of any other animal.
The key to her power was the development of telepathic powers which have also been boosted so now she can not only read minds but control those around her.Kyukyucar
K
K is the 11th version of a secret human cloning experiment that was trying to create the perfect human. K is so close to the ultimate goal that she could no longer be contained and escaped the lab. She has the power to absorb anything around her and transfer it into pure energy that she can then project as an impenetrable shield.
She is also extremely physically fit, super humanly strong and immensely intelligent, having gained much of the true power of a perfected human.UltimatePartyPanda
Ultimate Panda
A student who got lost while on a trip to China came across the ancient hidden temple of the Golden Panda deep within a vast bamboo forest.
Within the temple she discovered the secret knowledge of the GoldenPanda sect and learned many incredible powers, in exchange for taking on the Golden Pandas pledge to protect the natural world.
Now she has the ability to control plants and animals, and also to grow and form her body like the roots of a tree. This gives her incredible strength. She can also gain information from the vast network of roots and plants around her giving her an almost telepathic awareness.DaniPhantomz
ElectricPhantom
A Rockstar who during a concert that had descended into a riot got hit by a sonic crowd control weapon while simultaneously being electrocuted by faulty wiring on the stage, the combination of high powered Sonic waves and thousands of volts of electricity changed her energetic make up.
She now has the ability to channel huge amounts of electricity and also become invisible.ElectricPhantom

This seriously made my life! The story was flat out amazing! I love it! Your awesome! :]
How long does it take you to make these drawings? You’re pretty good! I like the backstories too. You even got my gunblade in there! So much attention to details!
I think some of my friends would not mind you turning them into superheroes!
What about you? Where’s your other identity?
this is good stuff man. and yeah, i gotta agree with mr. gunblade above; where’s your alter ego?
@Roadlesstaken - @ThePrince - lol I was quite happy to see the gunblade.
1 word. Amazing
Dude, this is a brilliant idea! You got the heroes, what about a villain group like the Legion of Doom? of The Brotherhood?
You have quite an imagination.
This is great, Bede. It gave me a smile & I’m glad Xanga has people like you. Always so bright & uplifting – wonderful qualities to have. I hope your holidays are joyous.
@Roadlesstaken - It can take a few hours depending on the complexity to draw, then I use a Graphics package to colour it and that can take about an hour…but i never rush anything lol so i usually do them over a couple sessions.
And yes i had to get the gun blade in there hehe it was just too cool
I was planning on one for myself, just not sure what to do as yet…I am of course the mysterious leader of the XL
@ThePrince - Thanks prince, I need to do one of you too, I already have a few ideas floating about…i reckon you’ll be quite cool.
@LibrisOfVanity - Mmmm good point…but then i’d have to pick certain Xangans to be baddies, i wouldn’t want to offend anyone so i think villains would have to be by request….I like Legion of Doom though *starts planning logo*
@fabolousclown - 2 words, Thank you
@kyalzinlay - It’s my number one use of time lol
@HelloKitty0809 - Same to you Lena. I have to say you and your hair were a bit inspiration for this idea hehe, it’s the one thing i’ve not likened you to, i did Anime and Sci-Fi and forgot about the superhero look.
@UltimatePartyPanda - Yeah i liked your story too, and your drawing turned out pretty good as well.
@BFB1131 - Haha I should be a bad guy…they would never suspect!
@Roadlesstaken - Lol no way Alex your definately one of the good guys. I’m not sure i want to draw a world where your a villain, perhaps that’ll have to wait for the Xanga multiverse story line…..
Oh wow! Well done. Thank you for this! You’re very sweet!
Awesome drawings and great idea.
Oooh…Lena makes a kick-ass superhero! Thumbs up on this!! “The Extraordinary League Of Xangans”! =)
@SerenaDante - Thanks!
@TheSutraDude - Thankyou, it is fun trying to come up with a matching superhero.
@Babieboo_Annie - Ooo i like “The Extraordinary League Of Xangans” as a name, and yeah Lena’s was good fun, shes definately got superhero hair
Haha this is hilarious! LOL
@BFB1131 - Oh she does! Kind of reminds me of Storm of the X-Men’s..except Lena’s is fire-red and much more awesome!
One dude on a team of 7? The ladies must be tough! Cool!
cool stuff man
@bluepillorredpill - You’re right, I just noticed that. Perhaps I’m just man enough that only one is necessary? Haha nah, bfb1131 should go give me male teammates
*cough make bluepillorredpill and @ItIsAllGravy as fellow heroes cough*
@bluepillorredpill - Oh hell yea! but i’m doing more soon with a few more dudes to the team.
@ItIsAllGravy - Ah ha! your a dude
@Roadlesstaken - It’s not Alex’s Angels lol
it’s just i didn’t know that many male Xangans yet, next batch has me ThePrince and LibrisofVanity.
and bluepillorredpill and itisalllgravy will be in too….basically i need all the guys i can get because the males are seriously out numbered hehe.
I also want to make some black superheroes there’s really not that many about in DC and Marvel stuff.
@BFB1131 - turn TheBigShowatUD into one then too!
Awesome… This is amazing… It makes my day
@Roadlesstaken - Yeah, you must be the baddest of the bunch! As for making me a character…SWEET!!
@BFB1131 - I think most of Xanga’s users are like 70 – 75 percent female, so yeah, you’ll have more female friends than males.
And some black characters?! That’s wsup! If you’re going to do one of me remember I’m Black!
I say this cause someone on here who I’ve been friends with on here for nearly a year didn’t realize that I was Black… espite all of the Black profile pics I’ve used of black characters!
LOL!!
@Roadlesstaken - There’s a new group of about 7 that i’m half way through colouring, but i shall begin drawing the guys of Xanga right away, TheBigShowatUD included
@mj_degreat - Thats always nice to hear! thanks man
@bluepillorredpill - I quite like the sound of those stats
hehe
And your blackness is noted lol….maybe your friend just thought you were really into black culture
but it’s going to be tricky to make something as nice as your background image, whats that from?
Great post.
‘Reality’ reminds me of the old canceled spy show “Jake 2.0″.
‘Ultimate Panda’ is my favorite.
Wow! Superb! Kudos man! Kudos!
