Description Couldn't leave town before uploading one more thing

This is Delta King, a revived big bad from the comics I used to draw as a teen/twen.
He was and now once again will be the most powerful bad guy on my roster, the extinction level evil-doer of the BC Universe.
The cosmic king of chaos, he's using a corrupted version of the same cosmic powers that made the heroes of his story pretty much demigods.
His armor is actually made of sentient alien metal. He can shape-shift into all kinds of melee weapons at will.
Not to mention fire death rays from his eyes and hands.

BACKSTORY
Delta King's true name has long been forgotten by most and those who do remember it, probably can't pronounce it anyway.
His true form is that of a shapeless manifestation of evil energy, a nebular being relying on a host body to take full physical appearance.
There have been more than one Delta King over the course of time. Whenever the host dies in battle, the true evil spirit controlling it goes searching for a new and stronger one.
How many Delta Kings have actually suffered such a fate is not common knowledge, but it has to be few and far between.
The most impressive track record against this deity is currently held by a team of superheroes from a parallel Earth, the Omni Fighters.
This group managed to defeat not one but two if its hosts, seemingly even destroying the deity's true form on one occasion.
However, Delta King would resurface years later, wielding an intensified and corrupted version of the Fighters' own cosmic powers on their highest level.
While the heroes were humans turning into demigods during battle, Delta King, the cosmic king of chaos, still outmatched them.
In his current form he actually defeated the Omni Fighters and even destroyed their entire planet.
Seemingly invincible, he would then run into a roadblock of his own, a time travelling heroine called Vigil.
Unable to save the Omni Fighters or their world, Vigil still managed to seal Delta King away to prevent him from coming to our world.

However, the infamous Omega Event robbed Vigil of most of her powers and she hasn't fully recovered since.
By now, Delta King knows. And he can't wait to see what the world, the galactic princess so desperately protected, is like.

With Psi-Void gone and Maelstrom off-limits, this is the big bad cosmic-level threat that the DU deserves! Love the design of this guy, your Power Rangers influence is really apparent.

Although the ring around the horns does look a bit funny to me.

Thanks, I might introduce him to the DU indeed.

That helmet? That's actually inspired by Hero Quest/Star Quest, some of the higher baddies had helmets like that there.
I don't expect you to necessarily know those board games

I concur with keeping the name. "Delta King" is absolutely badass. And when I see a threat like this, a threat to the fabric of the multiverse itself, that's exactly the kind of bad guy the Empyrean Command was formed to tackle.

Oh he would be a great opponent for them, no doubt!
He has faced and defeated demigods before ... but will that work in his favor or just make him cocky?

Great looking character - can't wait to see what your plans are. One for the DU, or somewhere else?

Branded-Curse In reply to Kostmeyer [2017-03-27 20:15:26 +0000 UTC]

DU? Maybe

What do you think, since your Malice is hanging in the air, maybe she could be his herald?

Kostmeyer In reply to Branded-Curse [2017-03-27 22:01:48 +0000 UTC]

I have a storyline involving Malice that might fit him actually! Note incoming!

I wonder who he'll go up against. He looks like he'll be a good opponent for Dragonborn

She would actually have trouble with him ... at least alone
This guy can wipe planets from existence. He is what Viper wishes she was.

NICE! He's got a fantastic design, and looks threatening as all heck. Well done!

Thanks

When I first designed him I was a huge fan of the Power Rangers baddie Ecliptor, hence the chaotic armor design.
But I've gotten a lot better since then, so now I put a new spin on it.

I think the name Delta King is a bit more catchy and foreboding than the name Regis IMO. I think Regis is one of those names that is being used more and more and has that "generic bad guy" feel to it. Β 

I love the concept of the character, and he looks like someone that would be awesome to pit heroes against...or watch them squirm at his feet as he dominates the battlefield.

Thanks
Yeah, I like the name, too. He was actually my personal favorite bad guy in the comics I used to draw.
I portrayed him actually quite ... well, human at times.
Not this version, though. This version of him was supposed to appear at the end of the comic series, being the big and final challenge of the protagonists.

In this timeline HERE, I think I will portray those comics as an alternate world, that he ultimately destroyed.
That's something nice for his resumΓ©
