    Black Knight was a Gambit with a Batman head. His belt was made from a He-Man harness, the breastplate and shoulderpads came from a Tarzan figure and the Falcon (from the Avengers cartoon line). I honestly have no clue where that Sword began it's life. The Atomic Steed is from Taskmaster. He's not really on-model so much as an 'artist interpretation.'

     Here is Black Knight cruising on his ride.

Hellcat was a SOTA Street Fighter Cammy, with hands and feet from Tigra (from the Avengers cartoon line). Her Sash is from an Orko figure, and her head is from Legends of the Dark Knight Batgirl. This costume is based on her miniseries, and IMO looks a lot better than the yellow suit she normally wears (not to mention that it required a lot less work with yellow paint!).

Machine Man was a Mr Fantastic body, with head, hands, and feet from a Daredevil. The limb extentions are from a Doctor Octopus. The belt is the seat belt from the Atomic Steed the Black Knight is riding around on. He'll probably get a ticket for that eventually.

     Extendable limbs? But of course!

 Thunderstrike is a Thor, with a head from a DC Direct New Frontier Green Lantern. The ponytail is from a Mask figure, I think (I ripped it off an old custom), and the kneepads are from 5" Sabretooth figure. The vest is from an X-Men Evolution Sabretooth, and the mace is cobbled together from a few different parts, and has a head made of Sculpey.

US Agent is a Bullseye head, the ML Face-Offs Captain America torso and belt, and SOTA Street Fighter Guile legs. The shield is actually two butchered He-Man sheilds covered in duct tape, glued together, and painted- no joke. The gun is from an old McFarlane Shadowhawk figure, and the truncheon is from X-Cutioner, with the handle from one of the massacred He-Man shields. I spent a lot of time on this one, if for no other reason than to make sure that he looked like a Cap spinoff, but not a cap wannabe.

I left the 'A' off his forehead on purpose to help with this effect. It should also be noted that I ground down the Bullseye nose- I wanted this guy to look like he'd been in a few fights and broken it more times than he could remember.

Mr Hyde is a Mr. Fixit with the ML1 Hulk head. Easy, but I think it's rather effective.

Dreadknight is a Taskmaster, with 'ears' from the 5" Dreadknight figure. The tunic is cobbled togther from verious parts. The cape is from the first Mattel Superman figure, the Lance is a nightstick from the parts box, with Skeletor's staff on the end. The gun orignally belonged to Taskmaster too.

Hellhorse is a Horse from the Ronin Warriors, with a tail, wings, face, and feet from a Ultima Online Dragon. The spikes that form his mane were choped off the Dargon and several other junked figures and randomly glued into place.
