Brad
McCurry's Customs
Parasite
Petty thief and get-rich-quick opportunist Rudy Jones was working
a janitorial job at S.T.A.R. Labs when he decided to steal some
experimental biochemical and sell them to a S.T.A.R. competitor.
Surprised by Superman, Jones fled the robbery scene, accidentally
contaminating himself with the chemicals in the process. The chemicals
permanently transformed Jones into an energy parasite, one who
must regularly drain the life force from another living being in
order to survive.
One touch of the Parasite's hands will leave a victim weakened
and prolonged contact will kill them. When he drains his prey,
Parasite not only takes on that person's energy, but their knowledge,
memories, and any skills or powers they might have. Naturally this
makes Parasite a deadly foe for Superman, for he cannot only weaken
the Man of Steel but then turn around and fight him with his own
stolen powers. In this state the Parasite also becomes temporarily
aware that Clark Kent and Superman are one in the same, and so
poses a deadly threat to Lois, Jimmy or anyone else close to Clark.
I saw Cason's figure as well as Double Dealer's and Mike Danza's
and had to have one I cant remember whose recipe I borrowed but
he was fun to make. I used a Martian manhunter for the head. I
used a cool barrel attachment that looks like sandpaper on a roll
to shape his head and eliminate the hair. Epoxy was then used to
fill in areas that were uneven and to give him more of a evil shaped
head along with a heavier brow. His body is a capture net superman
with the details smoothed away using several different methods
to help ensure a smooth surface if it could be used to smooth I
used it. His detailing is epoxy placed onto the body then when
it was near cured I used a super sharp exacto to trim the edges
for a sharper line. It is not perfect and I eventually will make
one with the details painted on not sculpted. But for now I am
very happy I also like the fact that he his taller than the current
JL figures, it helps show what a bad guy he is. |
