/aco/ Golden Girl thread

weekly bump

Yes, this seems like it will be another slow thread.

...

...

Lots of interesting developments in the /aco/ thread.

There's a speech bubble on the box that I always thought was a logo until just now.

Can't get over the freakish torso.

Seems fine to me since she has long legs.

What does Tats wear on her bike?

Depends on how fast she has to get on her bike to get the fuck out of dodge.

Also, working on the AC(oSF) murder mystery thing in the pastebin right now. It's not really fully a true story since I'm terrible at dialogue, but it's coming together.

Considering her bike is a shitty old Soviet monstrosity she likely can't go too fast because it'll start shaking itself to bits.

I think I have a pretty good outline for the whole CEO Slick coming into villainy arc now.

pastebin.com/gAKtFuJV

So next is a Stretcherous story where she teams up with Bombastic (in his old suit) and they go raid a lab together.

It's probably not even Soviet made, it's been rebuilt so many times that it lacks any of the original parts.

>the bike of theseus

So it probably begins with a fight in the Sup Forums floating island hanger fight ring or whatever that's called.

Stretchy powers vs exploding powers.

Should be some balloon physics going on here.

It could be some cheap Chinky bootleg. Some of those have gotten some crazy mileage, even if they look like utter shit by the end.

this guy isn't on the wiki.

Dude, her ribcage would be like a foot higher than it needs to be in that image. Her torso is so stretched out it can only mean she has elasticity powers.

/r/ wrench wench tats

He's a character who only appeared in this doodle until last thread.

He was pretty much as obscure as one of the characters we discuss in these threads can be while still having some visual design.

We actually have dozens of characters like him who aren't on the wiki since they're just names and designs waiting to be used in a grater narrative.

Take this guy for example.

This is the only art of him, we're not even sure if he's a villain or what, but he exists.
He's not on the wiki because there's almost nothing known about him.

Or her.

There's more pics of her and more info than others, but still not on the wiki.

He was a bit piece character that's only just now getting attention because a useful spot for him has turned up.

It's been recently decided he was a Silver Age era villain who was an enemy of Mace Pike, Belle's father. A businessman with a bit of a sick fascination with pollution, he's the one who pulled the strings leading to CEO Slick unearthing the creature in the oil.

Yeah, it never ceases to amaze me how any random character who has art can suddenly become someone interesting of very relevant to current conversation so quickly.

>We actually have dozens of characters like him who aren't on the wiki

where are they then?

Man, that kind of fluctuation can't be healthy.

In my Sup Forums creations folder, in another subfolder, with more subfolders in it.

Oh, and whoever keeps uploading all these things to the booru, the actual doodle comic that you see parts of in that pic is this.

>YOU DID THIS TO ME!!

WIP.

Oh, did you read the thing in the pastebin?

I'm open to feedback with that.

...

...

...

...

So it begins in the middle of their match in the hanger fights.

Stretch has the edge on Bomb in speed in mobility, but Bomb is a fukken tank able to take anything she throws at him and then blow it up in her face. If Bomb could catch her could win, and if Stretch could actually move him, she could win. So it's anyone's match.

How to do this?

That's a lot of adorable for one team.

The 90s were unkind to them.

They would've been right at home in any age prior to the EXTREME age where every villain and even most of the new heroes were blood thirsty.

I just don't think anyone would actually read it unless I post it directly into the thread, and also this is to bump the thread.

Barron Waste, a retired supervillain, washes up on shore with his lungs full of crude oil.

He's in costume so the Justice Coalition get a blip on their radar from this.

Spearhead never fought the guy personally, but Harpoonist used to regularly thwart him back in the late 70s/early 80s well before Belle was born.

Spearhead tells the team the backstory of Baron:

The Baron was a very cartoonish villain. So while he was evil, he was that reliable, amiable kind of evil, the kind you could send the Youth Coalition to battle and none of them will come back in pieces. His secret identity (along with Mace's and a bunch of other supers') was blown during the EXTREME age (90s), after that Baron Waste retired and fell off the radar.

The Coalition isn't happy to find out a retired villain has been murdered either, they push the idea that villains can safely reform if they want to - though it seems the Baron wasn't entirely reformed.

Maybe Diving Belle will be the one to point out that even though he was a super villain and an overall bad person who committed a lot of evil and her dad had to fight him, they still have to take this case seriously.

Given an oil monster was just discovered they can't help but feel there's a connection.
There's all kinds of boats out there guarding and researching the well the monster is still mostly trapped in, but some of it could've escaped.

They test the oil in the Baron's lungs to see if there's anything unique about it. Surprise, surprise, it's monster oil, how they know this?
We could say it's something unique to that particular well, like a certain type of microbe.
Once they've identified the oil, next they need to figure out where this happened.

They begin by check the sea currents and then plot out where he could've been carried in from.
That's not too terribly exciting.

cont.

Hopefully her power covers that.

While the kids are out, Spearhead gets a visitor, it's a representative from Sup Forumsntainment, the current organization that usually cleans up the aftermath of these super skirmishes. She's claiming they have jurisdiction over this case since the oil in Baron Waste's lungs matches the oil in the haunted well, which they are in the process of securing. Spearhead claims this is a JC case since the deceased in question was a supervillain and supervillains, even retired ones, turning up dead is a sure fire sign of worse things down the line. When the agent doesn't relent and asks to see the body, Spearhead claims that he can't release the body to her anyway since he is not technically an active member of the Justice Coalition anymore and that she'll have to wait for his granddaughter to get back. The agent makes a phone call.

The AC(oSF) aren't finding anything and assume he was probably murdered on a boat, as they are deliberating their next move, a Sup Forumsntainment ship approaches them.

We cut back to Spearhead, still stonewalling the agent at the door until he sees the kids coming back much sooner than he expected. Now he has no excuse to not let the agent in. The agent introduces herself as captain of Sup Forumsntainment's R-Squad, code-named Rookie. Reef laughs a little at this "Captain Rookie" and asks how that happened, he gets a blunt nonchalant response that her first team all died on a mission before she got a new nickname and it stuck after that. She then explains that she was dispatched here since she has a minor psychic ability to communicate with ghosts, and that she's here to ask the Baron who killed him. At this, Spearhead walks off to make a phone call of his own, he comes back shortly thereafter and announces that the Justice Coalition is sending in their own specialist with a similar power who has met the deceased before.

cont.

Before too long a specter appears, a girl in a hood with a green glow about her. Spearhead introduces her as Wisp, a former member of the Youth Coalition and now an "afterlife counselor" (they go to haunted locations try to help the spirits of the departed move on, a dangerous job, as any horror film will tell you, but one that's important to her). She's not officially JC affiliated anymore, but when shit gets too paranormal for them she's usually available to lend a helping ectoplasmic tendril. She's mostly moved on with her life and isn't bitter like Liberty Lass, but she's definitely got reservations about how things were handled.

Rookie and Wisp approach the body and can tell the Baron's ghost is still hanging around trying to be unseen until he can depart this mortal coil. They can see him despite him not wanting to be seen by present company and introduce themselves. Baron has little to no interest in Rookie, but then takes notice of Wisp saying that brings him back to when he used to be a big shot in the super villain world, he goes on to say he always resented having to retire early when his secret identity got blown back in the 90s and his company was bought out from under him.

Then we can do a flashback to Slick, starting to drip with oil, searching the computers to see who discovered that well, who authorized that rig, and who messed up the situation so bad he had to go out there in person. While digging through the files, he finds some inconsistencies in the fiances, then he finds a backdoor into the system, Slick is now pissed. He discovers the company's former owner planted spies before he was ousted and set up the backdoors in the system so he could still subtly manipulate where the company drilled. Slick begins systematically eliminating the spies in his ranks, first calling them to his office and firing them for corporate espionage, then finding that he can move the oil oozing from his body at will to threaten them.

cont.

Slick takes a boat out to find a surveying ship he's found the Baron to be aboard. Baron Waste is waiting for him, in full costume, Slick is annoyed and asks him what he thinks he's accomplished with all this. Slick can't understand the Baron's motives since there was no profit in his actions. Baron Waste tells him he had been secretly plotting ever since he got outed and lost his business empire to young Slick, he's been playing the long con to get some of his more dastardly plans accomplished, the haunted oil well was something he discovered shortly before the super leaks of the EXTREME age, it was going to be his magnum opus to unleash a creature made of pure pollution upon the Earth, but he just didn't have the time needed to do it before he lost everything. He spent years using what remained of his influence worming his way through the cracks he put in his old empire until a rig was finally built over that well. The first oil samples from it were amazing, the black sludge would spread and seek out life to destroy all on its own. He then looks at Slick, who is now dark with an oil coat "But you, you've exceeded everything I could've hoped for, now the monster is in you and you can control it." Baron begins to laugh he wheezes out an "I'm jealous!" and continues to laugh. Slick is now past his breaking point, he grabs the Baron by the mouth and begins shoving the oil down his throat (we could do a villain on liner here, but I'm not sure Slick is the type). Slick then tosses the body overboard and takes the ship back to port. Surveying ships are expensive after all.

Back in the present, we see Rookie and Wisp, they ask the Baron who killed him. He says nothing, then begins to laugh, a deep laugh free from any sludge in his lungs before saying "My successor!" as he continues to laugh before moving on.

We then see Slick at his desk forming shapes with the oil and holding his head with a pained look. "I should've charged him for the free sample."

So that's where I'm at with CEO Slick's entrance to the supervillain world.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Additions? Subtractions?

Spooky.

I like that the Baron is ultimately pleased with the outcome despite being, y'know, dead. I wonder how Wisp and Rookie react to all the cackling.

He died as he lived: a toxic hazard.

Rookie is well enough versed in the business to know there's more oil in her foreseeable future. Wisp would probably be more disturbed since Baron Waste is far more evil now than she remembered him, but he's at peace now.

I feel like the Baron could feel a bit more sympathetic and fun if he tricked Slick into releasing the oil monster specifically to spite Slick and turn his greed against him, more than a desire for destruction. Like, he did mostly reform, but wanted to have one final hurrah at his usurper's expense.

>how about both?
>a chinese bootleg of a soviet bike

Could there be a worse vehicle?

Yeah, main thing holding me back is not being able to get dialogue right. Sometimes it comes to me, but most of the time it ends up flat when I write it out.

The Baron would be expecting Slick, maybe ask if he remembers him or something. During his explanation of how he pulled it off it should be full of puns.
I can't come up with the puns and the word play really needed to pull that off.

Got any jokes or puns that the Baron would be likely to say?

am i the only one who thinks Golden Girl is the worst trash character ever?

It's the only project I've seen get any work done for it in the past while and the premise is what if a young sidekick had huge tits...

I mean I know /coc/ never had much integrity but christ, Ma'am Aries is cool because it least it's her power or whatever but really, the only aspect about Golden Girl is Wacky big tits.

What's her personality besides just being a young girl who's irritated with her big breasts?

/coc/ is trash

Maybe the user who has the ideas for Stretcherous will weigh in on this so I won't need to do the whole thing on my own.

Hopefully the thread makes it through the night.

>What's her personality besides just being a young girl who's irritated with her big breasts?
Do you want an actual answer to that question or do you just want to vent?
Because it sounds like you just want to vent.

She's the base essence of "I like huge tits". BQ wrapped it into a narrative, Ma'am is a pure parody, but GG is just the tits and nothing else. She has nothing going for her.

yes answer the question, i want to read the generic ass bullshit you spew.

Came across this from the blog of an artist named XPI Sigma.

I don't like the concept either but somehow it seems to be working with the comics done so far, breast quest on the other hand is truly a joke that went too far.

BQ is without question the most structured, developed, and well put together thing Sup Forums has ever produced. It is without question the best material that has every risen from these types of threads.

In what few comics there are that have a narrative to them, GG is presented as a girl scout type that wants to live up to her mentor's shadow. Outside of that in the discussion there was talk of her having a lot of pragmatism not found in silver age superheroes, like for example she'd take the batteries out of a giant robot rather than fighting it.

But I'm guessing you're gonna say that all qualifies as bullshit. It's ironic really. The /aco/ thread has anons bitching about there being too much porn and not enough lore, and the /co. thread has people bitching about not enough lore and too much tits.

That's the unfortunate truth you guys never want to hear. Simple concepts have an easier time getting produced than others. BQ has tons of structure and development, which means there's no room for any artist or newcomer to leave their mark, and all the potential end products are too huge in scope to ask anyone to do for free.

I'm not talking about the effort put into the project but the ridiculous concept itself, then again, it wouldn't have gotten that much atention from Sup Forums in the first place if it wasn't such a fetish bait.

Her growing popularity outside Sup Forums is kind of mind-boggling.

>Her growing popularity

Let's not delude ourselves.

Well, it's technically true. More people outside of Sup Forums are starting to draw her.

We have more than enough sympathetic villains. Admittedly, Belle is high optimism, but with the Baron already dead, it's not like he could be helped or redeemed.

Link some of these people pls.

Yes, this was posted on Sup Forums before, but was deleted from the booru for some reason.

Ah, it's an older pic, then? I figured after Lightfoot drew her, word was starting to spread.

Posts on tumblr are time stamped, aren't they?

I'm pretty sure that pic is from a month or two ago.

>did you read the thing in the pastebin?

yeah but not everything, I hardly know any of the characters other than Slick which I worked a few times with and Baron waste from the last thread.

well I'd say just let the Baron go insane in his last moments, laughing like a child who successfully pulled a prank on someone else, his laugh should drive Slick to madness, Barons reasons should be petty and his last speech infantil.

youtube.com/watch?v=Jyhpi47ClFE

Yeah, this was his last hurrah. He knew Slick would find him soon enough and wanted to laugh in his face before dying.

He can still be full of puns without being sympathetic.

Baron's last words were pretty much that.

so i just had an idea of what my magic mary sue and science mary sue could build together

a giant wand spaceship. like a frigate from halo, but with a huge wand built in using magic conductors and big spinning circles with runes. and yeah, pretty cool. im really simpling it down a lot right now cuz im kinda high.

You'd think it would.

I won't say it's bullshit, it's just bland.

I love villianous speeches.

>I was never a great villian but not because I wasn't the fastest or the smartest, I always thought, there is no point in winning, what would a villian do without a hero, he serves no purpose, that is why I always knew when to pull back, to keep the game going for as long as possible, it was so much fun which is why I couldn't accept that it ended in such an unspectacular way, I knew the end would come some day, you get older and tend to forget and but I wanted to never be fogotten. It should be the last act, even possibly the end of all, that is how I saw my last plan all this time but I got something better, I created you, an immortal monster who'll carry the name of his creator.

>NOONE WILL EVER KNOW.

>but you'll know and the world will know you, a shady bussiness man turned into a cartoon villian, a source of endless contamination I unleashed upon the world and now its your time to play the game for all eternity, I'm so jealous, my monster.

I like it!

Slick keeps slipping the longer he's stuck playing this game of heroes and villains, trying to figure out how to make a profit while the monster puts ideas in his mind.

I realize he can't be redeemed, but it feels like a good sendoff- and makes Slick look that much more sinister. if the Baron comes off likeable in his farewell that helps inform the reader's impression of Slick.

wouldn't it be better if only Slick knows the true Baron and everyone else thinks he was a sympathic villian?

Why would they think that?
All his ghost does is reminisce a little before they ask him who killed and then he just laughs saying it was his successor before moving on to whatever afterlife there might be for him.

you know that scene could be changed right, you just have to skip the laugh, if you want him to be sympathic, you'd have to change that scene anyway.

I don't really want him to have any actions that invoke sympathy in that scene though.

He got what he wanted and more, and also got away with it in a way. The only one in the group who could feel sympathy of any kind would be Wisp since she knew him back when he was still active.

...

Has there ever been any art of their wives?

Somehow the red hair of Belle's grandmother passed to her mother and then to her despite her grandfather and father having black hair.

And I don't think there's ever been anything drawn of Carrie, Belle's grandmother, Lance's wife.

Hmmmm... These characters could also be incorporated into the aqua plot line.

Or maybe re-incorporated? I feel I've well and truly hijacked it from whatever potential plans there were for Diving Belle.

...

Are there any scorpion themed villains?

I don't think there is one yet in the setting.

I propose we brainstorm one, for the sake of this threads survival.

I was thinking a female version of the Scorpion King, a really buff Egyptian goddess

Sounds like a Skathi villain.

Yeah it feels like there's not enough lore around Skathi. Scorpion body with female torso, yay or nay?

Definitely yay on the torso. Not much point in making her buff if she's not going to have the muscles that are the most fun to see.

True. Maybe one of her arms can be a claw. Tbh I'm picturing Furiosa from Mad Max Fury Road, thus her name could be Scorpiosa. I'm open to other name suggestions though

...

If they weren't being used there's no real justification to stop them from being repurposed. Worked out well enough with Baron Waste.

No sure who some of them are though. I think there's some more pics of the cloud guy somewhere in this collection I have.

And here's a guy I was trying to find earlier for a reason I can't remember.

He'd probably end up in a Motion story.

So Serqet?

Yes, and Serqet sounds pretty great as a Skathi villain. She would hate the cold and for that reason Skathi too.

So I was playing around with heromachine this week, should I post my creations?

If you want to.

I doubt we'll be making it to bump limit with this thread anyway, so there's no harm.

Might as well, I guess, although I just got some new ideas so I'm gonna finish those up before posting
