Description The Gun Jack is a character I created for an unused Superhero role-playing adventure.

He was meant to be a mentor for the player characters and their brand new team of Superheroes.

The Gun Jack was a hero in the 60’s and 70’s.
He had a seemingly superhuman skill with guns, he never missed. Sometimes he used non-lethal trick rounds and he always shot the weapon out of his opponent’s hand. The Gun Jack was not a killer and he saw himself a modern day Lone Ranger.

As the years passes his skills began to wane, finally he made a mistake and almost killed a bad guy. This, and increasing bad publicity, (It was felt a gun-toting costumed hero was a bad influence on children) The Gun Jack finally decided to hang up his guns and retire.

It’s kind of a rough sketch. The full body shot is of him in his younger years the close-up head-shot is of him as an old mentor.

Heh, well I bet he would get terminated! The Gun Jack is gettin' too old for gun fighting. I'm sure a young hero will come along to avenge him though!

holy shit!he looks so much like my character Black Dog that I play in a DC comic RP and he has a similarly mind set too Black dog was an assassin for checkmate but his meta powers kick in and his mind was damaged somewhat,but now his on the run from his old life(with a load of less than-lethal weaponry and spy gadgets in a big rig truck) and wants to be a super hero (he voles never to kill again) he is really goofy most of the time and wheres a mask doing everything. oh and he would so look up to this guy

Cool!
Yeah, The Gun Jack could be a mentor for Black Dog... give your guy a few pointers. Then get mortally wounded by Black Dog's arch nemesis, give a poignant speech about being a true hero and then die.

Very nice. And I know you're tired of hearing it, but this would look good colored.
I also agree with the Jeff Bridges comment. I think it's because of how he looks as a mentor.

My first thoughts were: If he had a smirk, I'd call him Captain Jerk

Captain Jerk is probably a better name for him!

The Lone Ranger rides again!! Very nice, as usual, and excellent back story...Are those knives [just in case]?

staino In reply to inkeverlasting [2011-08-25 20:05:05 +0000 UTC]

Yep, those are knives on on his chest. Sometimes he runs out of bullets.
The blades are spring loaded and can shoot off the handle.
Boing! now the bad guy has his sleeve pinned to the wall by a blade!

If Gun Jack were a movie Jeff Bridges would have to play him. Just 'cause.

My Uncle Floyd had a saying "Killing s wrong. Unless your killing space Nazis or or black hearted orphans." I never quite know what that meant.

I have lots of characters. I haven't even posted Fiona The Living Banshee yet.
Actually, I stole the idea from Stan Lee. And I quote: "It was three in the morning and I had just finished burring a dead prostitute in a cornfield and and I stopped to take another shot of Wild Turkey when I noticed the beauty of the full moon and stars... That's when I came up with Fiona The Living Banshee! Excelsior!"

The drawing is like a cross between Snake or Big Boss of Metal Gear Solid Series and Captain America. I liked the bio too.

I was going for a cross between Captain America and Hawkeye. The knives are very Metal Gear Solid looking I will admit.
