Now, you're probably wondering why there is a winged version of me engaged in some monumental conflict with WordGirl, so I'll explain.

I'm on a huge WordGirl kick right now, and about a month ago I did a sketch of me delivering some sesquipedal monologue to WordGirl and Captain Huggy Face as some hypothetical villain. When I looked at the drawing of myself, I noticed that my pose was perfect for adding wings to. So pleased was I with the look that I decided to build an in-universe justification around it.

WordGirl is from the planet Lexicon. I like to think that the Lexiconians, as a race, aren't so much concerned with words as they are with diplomacy. They possess a natural proclivity for languages because of this. Becky Botsford, being marooned on Earth, discovered this adroitness without a Lexiconian cultural context, and focused on individual word usage as a theme.

My villain here is from a similar world called Sesquipedalia.
They are a race that is psychically ascendant, and revels in the exploration of only the highest echelons of language. From their perspective, the larger and more obscure a word is, the better. Unfortunately as a result, their society fosters an incorrigible arrogance that shuts down any and all diplomacy offered their way. In fact, what typically gave the Lexiconians a huge advantage in diffusing tense negotiations backfired completely with talks involving the Sesquipedalians. Lexicon was seen as a rival superpower to be overtaken and destroyed. Thus, an interplanetary cold war set in and lasted for centuries.

The specific story behind this picture is pretty vague. Likely the Sesquipedalian military discovered that Captain Huggy Face's ship is on the planet Earth, and fears that Lexicon is gathering allies for war. An unnamed insurgent (the guy in the pic) is sent in to eliminate the Lexiconian presence.

As far as powers go, the insurgent is more or less an equal match for WordGirl, though their powers center around psychically generated energy constructs, like the wings and the plasma-flame.
