| Aura the Aeroteen takes her first flight over Atlas Park. Aura is an electrical blaster. | Aura was one of a pair of superheroes I once created for a comic book project called The Aeroteens. | Shocking. Positively shocking. |
 |
 |
 |
| The miraculous Ms. Mesmer, mistress of the mystic arts. She's an illusion controller. | Ms. Mesmer gets her mojo going. | Dude, you're wearing a TV for a hat. |
 |
 |
 |
| There are three globes in this picture. Can you spot them? | Kissing the pavement. | Mesmer gets a much-needed makeover. Love the new 'do. |
 |
 |
 |
| Loved it so much, that I also used it for Rachel Sullivan, a psychic defender. | "Agh! My head hurts!" | This is Tenebre, a martial artist scrapper. Notice how most of my characters are female? |
 |
 |
 |
| Tenebre kicks ass! | My attempt at a Mary Marvel clone. Capes aren't available to characters below level 20. | Not one of my characters, but I liked the look of Commando Cow. |
 |
 |
 |
| Faultline is one of the more impressive zones in the City of Heroes. | Mesmer explores the canyons of Faultline... | ...and makes a fort out of a cardboard box. |
 |
 |
 |
| One of the benefits of the game is that you can get a lot of head. | An alternate color scheme. Mesmer created a faux "supergroup" to get a free costume variant. | Man, this gal can't settle on a hairstyle. |
 |
 |
 |
| Upon reaching level 20, Mesmer acquired some new evening wear. | A nice side view. | Hovering over the city. |
 |
 |
 |
| "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" | She fell so hard, she was embedded in the pavement. | The view from the back. |
 |
 |
 |
| Halloween 2004 brought some holiday-specific villains to Paragon City for trick-or-treat fun. | Close-up of a werewolf. Cool! | I thought these guys were wonderfully creepy. |
 |
 |
 |
| Here's the economy-sized version of the Great Pumpkin. | Tenebre takes on pumpkins small... | ...and large. Really, really large. |
 |
 |
 |
| Holy crap, seven of them! Note the tiny figure that is Aura the Aeroteen. This was the last thing she saw before a trip to the hospital. | Rachel takes up the fight to avenge her fallen fellow heroine. | Paragon City is saved! |
