big_daddy_dThose who read my entries and enjoy the Green Arrow stuff are curious about the name of the Masked Man I'm sure. Well I finally have the code name. The Red Condor. As for his look? Sadly I have no one to draw for me and I don't own a scanner and I'm not that good, so I'm going to post a series of pics to help you visualize.
There's one more thing. His voice. Obviously his voice can and will be recognized, so imagine him using a device that'l make him sound deeper, you know like one of those voice changers someone uses for a phone. His voice changer will be in his mask.
Additionally we need weapons. Twin .45's, later he modifies them to make them similar to that of Prometheus' gauntlets, meaning they can fire various types of projectiles meant to incapacitate other heroes, albeit without serious injury or death in this case. He also has non-lethal bullets. When it comes to taking down criminals, he uses more lethal projectiles and real bullets. Clearly he'll have taken a page out of Prometheus' book and have them connected to a system to know when to use what. He's also a wizard with knives, having various kinds, combat, throwing, push. Lastly he'll wield twin butterfly swords.
So there you have it. The look of the Red Condor. Close your eyes and visualize. Can you see it? Like it? Hate it? Let me know. Anyone want to volunteer to draw it, feel free to submit it in comments.
Now for starters. In my story, we know Roy Harper is the Red Condor. I mentioned how he looked before, but I thought I'd make it easier.
Now I happen to the like whole coat and fedora hat look. It can make a guy look so badass or menacing. Here, Black Hornet just looks menacing and you can just feel it off the page. That's generally what I wanted to go for with Red Condor. Obviously RC's coat and hat won't be black. They're going to be a light brown.
Now for what's under the suit.
Take that mask off Ultimate Hawkeye, remove the bullseye, and color it red. We have our Mask. Take that mask and with the addition of the hat, it should be enough to completely hide Roy's hair.
Finally, the rest of the suit.
As you can see, I'm going with this incarnation of Roy's Arsenal costume. Plus I happen to like this suit. I'm going to alter it a bit. For one, stitch the mask to it. We know Roy has a cybernetic arm. He's gonna need to hide that fact, so his left arm will be completely covered with a long sleeve and glove. His right arm will be sleeveless, so the short sleeve is gone, but the glove stays. Now at the time of the big reveal, that glove and the mask will be gone.
