"Outrage" Superhero Designs

Superhero designs for the "Outrage" series. These were made in the City of Heroes generator, but are all based on drawings and designs I had previously made. It's amazing how accurate and versatile the program is! This is also a very brief story outline for my plans for the series.

We start with our hero, the first OUTRAGE. Derek Despain is a college student by day, but at night takes to the streets of Corhaven as the superhero Outrage. With the ability to store all of his negative emotions and unleash them in the form of pure physical strength, he is a formidable foe, especially with special gloves and boots that add a boosted eletrical shock to his attacks.

His sidekick is young Francesca Vernals, who goes by the name RED (alt; without hood) at night. A student in the high-school class that Derek student-teaches with, she deduces his secret and joins him, having special powers of her own: the ability to phase through solid object, as well as limited levitation.

Outrage and Red soon make an enemy of the dangerous fine art theif, MINSTREL. As the tales of the two heroes circulate throughout the city, a youth named Keith Benton takes up the mantle of STREETWOLF. Inspired by Outrage, he begins his own vigilante crusade against the gangs that continually put him and his family in danger.

Minstrel deduces the secret identities of Outrage and Red, and murders Outrage's mentor and friend, a professor at his university. Outrage, consumed by anger and rage more than any time before, transformed into ULTIMATE OUTRAGE and goes berserk, nearly killing Minstrel. From this point on, he struggles to control his powers and it becomes easier and easier for him to slip into the dangerous superpowered form.

Finally, Outrage and Red answer the "hero's call", and travel to Heaphen City to help another group of superheroes defeat a powerful foe. Derek is killed in the battle, and upon Francesca's return to Corhaven, she cuts and dyes her hair, and takes up the name of OUTRAGE II, putting aside her defensive and semi-pacifistic fighting ways in order to step up and fill the void left by Outrage's death. After months of this, and repeated adventures with Streetwolf, she gives up the name and reclaims her old identity as Red.

Streetwolf is honored to be given the chance to take her place as OUTRAGE III, and with superpowered gloves that give him strength similar to that of the original Outrage, he and Red defend the city of Corhaven as partners to this day.​

Why do they all lack contentment with their own Superhero image and feel the need to adopt Outrage's?

It's not that they're unhappy with their own- it's more out of respect for the man who died. It's also common in superhero comics for others to rise and take up the mantle of a fallen superhero (there have been three Flashes, two Black Canaries, two Hourmans, three Robins, etc). Additionally, Streetwolf was never a superhero, and the original Outrage and Red disagreed with his methods. Throughout time, Red learned to trust him, and giving over the mantle of Outrage became a "coming-of-age" for him as he learned how to truly be good. And as evidenced by the fact that Red goes back to her original Red identity, she never wanted to take his place, but felt that she had to for the city.
