Originally, this guy was my Villains & Vigilantes character. Of course, his costume was based on Taskmaster and Deathstroke, as the powers I rolled up kinda fit that kind of character. His strength and speed were enhanced with cybernetics, as was his hearing. I had to take a disadvantage, so I made him mute. It made communicating with other characters difficult, so he was pretty much a shoot-first-ask-questions-at-the-autopsy kind of character.
I recently decided to add him to the Young Guns team in my HeroBlog universe, so this drawing, while fairly consistent with the original design, is meant to be the new version. He won't be a mute, this time around, and probably not a cyborg, but I haven't decided, yet.
Originally he carried a Walther P-38, but 9mm is kinda puny against supervillains, so the .44 Automag is a better choice. He carries a light bastard sword, an old Mauser bayonet, a 14-inch buckler and a small arsenal of throwing irons and spikes, as well as a couple of grenades.
In the Young Guns, he's going to be a young adult, probably 19 or so.

Joe, if you don't mind, I'm going to take a crack at working Vanguard up for Villains and Vigilantes.

Wicked rendition on him. The outfit does strike me with the colors and the patterns,too. He will definitely can be a force to be reckon with and like the idea of him carrying the gun and the knife, makes him more well rounded even if he don't always use his fighting skills.

Hey this guy is super cool! I like the idea of the combination of Taskmaster and Deathstroke! I would actually say you should keep the 9mm, just have him use steel bullets. The mute thing kind of throws in some Snake-eye in there which is something super cool! Mind explaining how he the cybernetics? Also if you could sometime check out my guys?

Thanks.
I didn't overthink him way back when. I had read some sci-fi book with cyber soldiers and thought it would be a good way for a guy to get superpowers without mutations, radiation and all that crap. No less ridiculous, at the time (or today, for that matter, but we're certainly getting closer). When I get around to writing anything up with him in the new version, he'll probably be mildly super and not cyber, since I'm making him younger than the game character was. Far less likely for a kid to get a whole cyber-warfare suite installed.
The mute thing was one of those goofy things they do in games to make things a little more difficult for your character.
