I can't resist. This tourney is reaching epic proportions.


Count me in- Blackbird

Anxiously awaiting tonights comics.

Awesome idea, can't wait to see the results.

I'm staying waaaay below nine this time.

I'm fighting Blackbird- this is gonna be intense.

Hahaha this is awesome.

Agreed, congrats to all round one winners. And thanks to our first opponents!

Hey you guys; my desktop computer is down for the count (we've been having trouble with it for months and now it's stuck in an endless loop of rebooting) so that means no printer or scanner for me... At this time I'm thinking I have to drop out of the tourney 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LOL This should be interesting.

This has the potential for wacky babysitting adventures.

I'm immediately reminded of kindergarten cop.

Ah now that makes more sense XD. You should include this in your ref sheet cause if i were to fight him, and you would not have said that, then I'd make him teleport all over the place and rip the city apart with his gravity powers. 8DDD

Good call, consider it done. also I've replaced the original icon I posted for Blackbird with a smaller version encase a moderator would like to replace the ghastly behemoth on page 1

Yeah i read that one! Genius, i loved it to bits. My favorite comic of the pig ^^ But to get to your point, i wasn't worried about him being to hard to beat i just find the character a bit overpowered in general. People tend to identify a lot more with characters that have flaws then with characters that are invincible in every way. A lot of story possibilities seem to disappear that way but i guess it opens up new ones as well.

His abilities were what was observed by the military, so they weren't aware of his limitations. I should have specified on how they work. He only uses the teleportation for interstellar travel and can only do it a couple of times before it drains his power, pretty much the same principle for all his powers. He is limited in how often he can do these things in one setting,its how he uses what he has that makes him interesting. I should have been a bit more clear about that. I had no intention of creating a character that was overpowered

Thanks for the awesome opportunity, here's my DA account encase you need it. http://cleric.deviantart.com/




The Blackbird


United States Government official release on the individual/phenomenon known as the Blackbird.



Speculation as to his identity and origin coincide with an incident that occured on the science outpost Prometheus on Saturn's moon Enceladus over four years ago.


The mission of project Prometheus was to receive and decode a distant radio signal, originating from the Andromeda(M31) galaxy. The unique magnetic field created by Saturn's moon Enceladus allowed for an increase in transmission receiving and delivering power. At some point during the experiment communication from the outpost to com stations on Earth's moon ceased. A nearby satellite was used to try and re-establish communication with the outpost. The satellite was unable to reconstitute the lost signal, but photographed the compound, revealing heavy structural damage. This has been unanimously agreed to be what killed the crew.

The reasons behind the speculated ties between the Blackbird and the incident at Prometheus, are the uncanny similarities between Blackbird's technology, and the technology being tested on the outpost for theoretical experiments. Mainly those experiments having to do with gravity and magnetic fields. These experiments were only being tested at the moon base on Enceladus.

First Appearance was exactly four years after the incident on Enceladus. He has since been seen on three separate occasions. Two of which were in Void City.


Known Blackbird abilities as observed by the United States Military:

.Teleportation
.Flight
.Manipulation of gravity fields
.Feats of strength beyond normal human capacity
.Bending of light (active camouflage)


This concludes the official United States Government release on information regarding the phenomenon Blackbird.

Personality: Blackbird is very stoic, doesn't talk much but when he does you better listen. Highly intelligent, but not snobby. Has a dry since of humor. He is benevolent and would rather apprehend a threat instead of killing it.

Disclaimer one Blackbirds abilities:
He only uses the teleportation for interstellar travel and can only do it a couple of times before it drains his power, pretty much the same principle for all his powers. He is limited in how often he can do these things in one setting,its how he uses what he has that makes him interesting.
