UltraHeroix Spotlight: Megagirl

Megagirl

Hi Everyone,
After a little break we are back with the spotlight on our newest Superheroine...Megagirl! She is another another heroine for UltraHeroix.com . This character is another Supergirl inspired heroine like Swiftgirl. She has the similar powers, weaknesses and origins but this version of the Supergirl inspired heroine is black and from another dimension.

Add "Megagirl: The Grim Trials"

Megagirl, as of now exists in another dimension...different from the one Lady Ultra and Swiftgirl exists in. I did this to be able to give her different story lines that won't interfere with the other heroines and to give her own distinct feel. I also feel we should have more African American super heroine 's and this would be a cool twist.

Add "Megagirl: The Grim Trials"

Which brings us to our first story with her, "Megagirl: The Grim Trials". In this story, Megagirl encounters one of our most powerful villains...Grimskull. Megagirl never encountered a powerful villain like this before and at first is very confident but soon the table turn as the villain gains the upper hand.

"Megagirl: The Grim Trials"

Grimskull is a demon from a dark dimension where he abduct people with great power and drains them to sustain himself and his home dimension. He follows a particular set of rules where he must defeat his foe 3 times to get their power while his opponent must only defeat him once. This is harder than it sounds because Grimskull has dark powers that allows him to change form, manipulate energy and open portals besides having great strength and durability. We have met Grimskull before when he fought Dynafly and she was only narrowly able to escape.

"Megagirl: The Grim Trials"

In this story Grimskull has been observing Megagirl for some time and gauged her strength and powers. He sees her as great source of energy. He also discovered her weaknesses in particular magic and Kryptonite. He uses his powers to create a storm and force Megagirl to him in his lair. They battle and after each of his victory Grimskull changes form to battle our heroine until she is thoroughly beaten and weakened for him to carry off into his dimension as his prisoner.

Monica Jade plays Megagirl and she does a phenomenal job in the role portraying the character very heroically and in peril. Check it out at UltraHeroix.com !

Television Review, "Supergirl" TV show

It's been worth the wait but it looks like we have a worthy super heroine television show. So far, Supergirl has been very impressive in how well it is staying in it's comic book roots. This show started in the Fall of 2015 and we are now enjoying the second half of the season in 2016.

The main character is played by Melissa Benoist, and she does an excellent job in the role as Supergirl. She portrays the heroine as inexperienced with something to prove early on in the season but as time goes on she becomes more self confident in her training with her powers and as she fights super villains.

The villains has been pretty good so far as we see a good variety from criminal masterminds to super powered aliens. I have to admit that the first half of the season had better fight scenes that was easier to see. In the second half of the season, the fights appear to be shorter and at night so it's not as easy to see or enjoy. Which leads me to the special effects, which has mostly been good. There has been a fe instances when things looked a bit subpar but the majority like the flight scenes and fight scenes looked great, which show that we've come along way for special effect since the 1980's and the original "Supergirl" movie.

The cast has been very good. Calista Flockhart has been great as Cat Grant, Kara's (Supergirl's secret identity) boss. She has been tough but showed a few signs of a soft heart. The rest of the cast has been strong. The story lines has been pretty easy to follow as we've seen mostly a new villain a week but there has been a few overarching story lines featuring evil krytonians and Maxwell Lord (the show's version of Lex Luthor).

So far, my favorite episode has been the pilot episode but there is enough for me and hopefully fans to keep coming back. I would only hope that they keep the current costume, which is great, they do better fight scenes and have more peril as they go on.

UltraHeroix Spotlight: Ghost Talon

Hi all,

"Ghost Talon"

For this spotlight I would like to put the focus on Ghost Talon. A super heroine with a magical background she is one of the more powerful characters in the Ultraheroix.com Universe. She was originally a demon called Grim Talon who served Devla, the Vampire Sorceress.

Grim Talon

Grim Talon grew in power to the point where she felt that she didn't need to serve Devla anymore and she eventually turned on her master when she drained Devla and Lady Ultra's power.  It took the combined power of Devla and Lady Ultra to cast the demon back to the dark dimension. This was the start of a vicious rivalry between Devla and Grim Talon. This adventure could be seen in "Devla: Vampire Sorceress".

This continued on when Devla conjured a zombie to serve her and the two took on Grim Talon and easily defeated her. Devla had her revenge and
stripped Grim Talon of her power. With the dark power taken from her, all that remained was the light and she became Ghost Talon. This can be seen in "The Return of Devla".

"Devla's Revenge"

"Dark Betrayal"

As Ghost Talon, she became a more serious threat against Devla due to her being un-affected by a lot of Devla's dark powers, even the vampiric bite of Devla. Ghost Talon used her power to deal with super-natural threats, especially Devla, her sworn enemy.


Although Grim Talon is very powerful, which includes; super strength, energy projection, teleportation, magic casting and on rare occasions the ability to take new forms/change host bodies. She was still not powerful enough to defeat Dark Ultra even when she teamed up with Crimson Cat. as was seen in "Dark Betrayal". Now that Dark Ultra, has been dealt with, Grim Talon is focusing her attention back on super-natural/villainous threats, including Devla.

All of these adventures and soon to be more, can be seen at UltraHeroix.com !

Dark Ultra saga

Dark Ultra

Hey folks! We are back for another installment in the Da jinx blog. For this, I'd like to go back to one of our past story lines featuring our premier heroine, Lady Ultra!

One of our longest and favorite story lines has been the Dark Ultra saga also known as the C.L.A.S.H  storyline. In this post I'd like to focus more on Dark Ultra and the effect she had in the UltraHeroix.com world.

Dark Ultra and the whole C.L.A.S.H storyline came about when I wanted to shakeup things and have a big, multi-episode arc. The way to do that was to turn our premier super heroine, Lady Ultra evil. This storyline began in "Dark Embrace" with the introduction of Domintia. Domintia was to be a major boss level threat. She was stronger and more powerful than Lady Ultra and she led a criminal organization called C.L.A.S.H (Criminal Legion Against Super Heroes/Heroines).

"Dark Embrace"

          Domintia has ties to the Dominator, the first villain Lady Ultra defeated in "Ultra Domination", the first video adventure of UltraHeroix.com . Domintia easily defeats Lady Ultra and uses a device created by another of Lady Ultra"s foes, Dr. Mindkill to turn her evil.  Lady Ultra becomes Dark Ultra, dons a new costume and becomes captain to Domintia's criminal legion to take over the city. The effects of this manipulation also boosts Lady Ultra's powers. This became evident when her fellow heroines, Crimson Cat and Ghost Talon tries to stop her but is easily dominated by Dark Ultra in "Dark Betrayal".

Dark Betrayal

With their defeat, the remaining heroines were overwhelmed and defeated in other story lines/videos and CLASH remained unstoppable until "Final Clash". In a last ditch effort by Crimson Cat, she was able to help bring Lady Ultra back to her senses and combined their power, skills and luck to put an end to Domintia and cripple C.L.A.S.H.

"Final Clash"

There has been a few residual effects from the Dark Ultra/CLASH storyline with Lady Ultra taking on a few remnants of C.L.A.S.H. and new vendettas has arisen.  A few questions remain, will Dark Ultra ever make another appearance and is C.L.A.S.H. gone for good. Only time will tell but the Dark Ultra saga has been one of the most exciting story lines we've ever done for UltraHeroix.com !

UltraHeroix Spotlight: Swiftgirl

Hi everyone,
I would like to put the spotlight on one of our most popular characters, Swiftgirl.  From her very first video on Ultraheroix.com , Swiftgirl has been our breakout character and is often getting tons of requests to do more videos on.

The Swiftgirl character is inspired by the classic Supergirl character, which is why her costume and powers are very similar. She has super strength, invulnerability, flight, super breathe and laser vision.  She also has similar weaknesses. Like a a green crystal that weakens her and a vulnerability to magic.

Swiftgirl's real name Cor-El and she was sent from another dimension by her scientist father, when her world was embroiled in war by the Warlord Vod and his minions (including Swiftgirl's sister Nuclea) to save her life. When she arrives in the UltraHeroix dimension, she gains her new super abilities and now fights for justice. Her character is nowhere as strong as Supergirl but she is still the most powerful super heroine in the UltraHeroix Universe

In her first video, "Swift Moves" it has been established that Swiftgirl has been an active super heroine for awhile and has taken on a few villains and has always been victorious. One of her most tenacious foes is Mr. Oblivion, a Lex Luthor type character and his hench-woman Tessa. While Mr. oblivion had a vision of riches and powers to be gained through illegal activity, he was always stopped by Swiftgirl. Tessa on the other hand, has a deep hatred and jealousy for Swiftgirl. Tessa had to work hard to become one of strongest women in the world, Swiftgirl was simply blessed with her abilities. So Tessa, finds every opportunity to prove superiority over Swiftgirl but is often humiliated by Swiftgirl. In "Swift Moves" and "Swift Outrage", Mr. Oblivion and Tessa manages to capture Swiftgirl in scheme to steal her power and Tessa takes the opportunity to pummel the powerless Swiftgirl and in the process killing her boss, Mr. Oblivion. In the end, Swiftgirl defeats the villainess but not before Tessa gain new resources and confidence in dealing with Swiftgirl.



We then go to the biggest Swiftgirl and UltraHeroix story lines, the  "Swift Reunion" storyline. In 4 videos we see the arrival of the Warlord Vod to our dimension as he brings his brother Gorn and Swiftgirl's evil sister, Nuclea. After destroying their home world they set their sights on Swiftgirl's new home. The villains overwhelm the young heroine and not even the arrival of another powerful super heroine, American Amazon could save her in "Swift Showdown".

The story carries over to the "Power of Vod" as Vod holds Swiftgirl captive as he searches for a device to help him take over the world. American Amazon returns to help Swiftgirl defeat the leader and finally in "Swift Victory" Swiftgirl takes on the remainder of Vod's gang alone in a final battle to close out the Swift Reunion/Vod storyline.

Now that this storyline is over, we are gearing up to take on the next Swiftgirl storyline.  In the years of UltraHeroix we were very lucky to find awesome actresses to take on the Swiftgirl role and we look forward to bringing you more Swiftgirl stories.

Some idea I'm tossing around is Swiftgirl dealing with an alien invasion, mutants, evil cyborgs and supernatural threats. The only limit is my imagination and budget.

Be sure to check out the Swiftgirl adventures at UltraHeroix.com

Movie review, "Athena: The Goddess Of War"

Hi folks, I finally got my DVD copy of “Athena: The Goddess of war” from Maiden Network. The Maiden Network is a new streaming channel that you could subscribe to like Netflix and Hulu. This channel focuses primarily on Heroine and female driven-action programs/shows which I think is great, especially for the superheroine genre. One of their first joint productions is a super-heroine film called “Athena: Goddess of war”. This character is very similar to wonder woman in her appearance, powers and greek mythology background.

In this story it appears that her enemy is Persephone, another Goddess that is bent on taking over the world and it is up to Athena to stop her. It is mostly set up in a small town and Athena is assisted by a few citizens and government agents. The production is pretty good for a small budget film like this and the special effects are pretty good, it’s pretty apparent that it was done by After Effects which can be brought for your home computer but still looks pretty good. The major negative that I have for this film is in the acting. Most of the main characters seems stiff and or lifeless, especially the villainess. The villainess character is very powerful and usually has the upper-hand over the heroine Athena but
unfortunately, we don’t feel that from the actress.

The storyline itself is pretty simple but effective and the heroine goes through a lot of challenges and is defeated a few times and is often in peril which I think is great as it shows the heroine powerful but also very vulnerable and the final fight scene between Athena and cyber warrior was pretty cool as the monster gains the upper hand in the fight. Another aspect that I found pretty cool is the reverse damsel in distress plot. Usually the male hero’s love interest is the one in danger and must be saved or motivate the hero but in this case it was good to see the roles reversed with Athena’s love interest in that role of the relationship.

I’d say give “Athena: The Goddess of war” a view if you’re a fan of the super heroine genre. It was done on a smaller scale compared to more high budget/main stream productions and I feel that is what is the film’s biggest strength. I could also see that the director/producer has a real love for the character and genre as it shows in this film.  It also gives me more motivation to do a bigger movie production on one of my main characters. It’s also worth checking out Maiden Network. It’s in the early stages as a new network but can develop into a premier site for fans of the superheroine/heroine genre.

Star Trek heroines and introducing Luna Starr

We had some sad news this week as Leonard Nimoy, also known as Mr. Spock from the original cast of Star Trek has passed away. He was always one of my favorite actors and played one of the most iconic characters of all time. He was ahed of his time and will be missed.

Lt. Uhura

Lt. Uhura

Which leads to the main topic of this post, the Star Trek heroine characters. There has been many heroine characters including Captain Janeway, Seven of Nine and Counsellor Troi but I would like to focus on the female characters of the original series. They had a few good action and perilous scenes but the thing I loved most was their sexy mini-skirted uniforms.

The first I would like to start with is my favorite Uhura. She was one of black characters in a main Science Fiction television show. She not only looked great but she had an active role on the show as one of the most important officers on the ship as the communication officer. She also took part occasionally as a member of the away team and actually had a few combat scenes. Unfortunately, it wasn't too often and she mostly stayed on the bridge but when she was in the action it was pretty cool. She even had a few peril scenes. The best episodes with her was "The Arena" and "Space Seed".

Yeoman, Janice Rand

Janice Rand is another favorite, Her position was that as Yeoman and she acted more as an assistant to Captain Kirk. She was initially supposed to be a love interest for Captain Kirk but the show moved away from that and she was soon gone from the show. She had a few cool episodes including a peril-some scene in "The Enemy Within".

Dr. Helen Noel

Another great Star Trek heroine is, Dr. Helen Noel. A psychiatrist that accompanied Captain Kirk on an away mission. They were investigating a mental asylum type base, where Kirk ended up being mentally manipulated and she played a pivotal role in beating the bad guys. There were a couple of perilous scenes including a brief but cool fight between her and a bigger orderly. Unfortunately, she was in only one episode but it is one of my favorites.

"Dagger of the Mind"

Nurse Chapel

Created by Themulator11 on Deviantart

Another cool character is Nurse Chapel, Assistant to Dr. McCoy. She was in a lot of episodes assisting Dr. McCoy. She was played be Majel Roddenberry, wife of series creator Gene Roddenberry. Although she primarily played a minor role, she did have one episode where she beamed down with Captain Kirk. The episode was called "The Manuever". She also developed a crush on Mr. Spock that went nowhere.  There are other female character that played roles in the original episodes but I feel these heroines were the best. One of my major gripes is that there wasn't more episodes where the female officers played a more active roles in action and peril. That is one of the major reasons why I created a new character called "Luna Starr". Her character is heavily influenced by Star Trek but I wanted to add Flash Gordon element in that there is more action and peril. So far, UltraHeroix.com fans seems to enjoy it.  In this story, Luna Starr is investigating the disappearance of a fellow Space Agent. She comes across space pirates and she is soon fighting for her life as she tries to rescue her friend and bring the pirates to justice.

While creating this blog, I found some art on Deviant art by Themulator11, It is definitely worth checking out if you love seeing the Star Trek ladies in perilous situations.

Star Trek Continues, fan film series

Lt. McKennah

*UPDATE* I also found new ladies of Star Trek, Thanks to the fan film series "Star Trek Continues". These are a continuation of the original Star Trek series done by fans today. The original characters are featured and a new one named, "Lt. McKennah" that acts as the ships psychiatrist. Despite being a Doctor, she does have some action in the episodes.  Check out their adventures here!  www.startrekcontinues.com

Supergirl movie (1984)

Hi all,
For this installment, I want to talk about one of my favorite super heroine movies and that would be the Supergirl movie from back in 1984. It's not a great movie but a fun one as we see the girl of steel fight evil and falls into a few perils herself.

First off, the actress who plays Supergirl was perfectly cast with Helen Slater. She looked great in the costume and portrayed the heroine very heroically and sold the few perilous moments very well too. The costume itself is the best super girl outfit you could imagine and captures the imagination very well.

Supergirl

The story begins in Argo city, a former city of the planet Krypton existing alone in space (or inner space). The city is being kept alive by an ancient artifact but when it is lost, Kara sets off alone to retrieve it to save her people. She follows the trail to Earth and develops super powers like her cousin Superman. Unfortunately, they never meet in the movie. She dons a similar super outfit and explores her temporary home and makes a few friends.

Supergirl in Phantom Zone

The artifact is found by a witch, who then uses it to boost her magical powers for evil purposes until Supergirl confronts her on a few occasions in the movie until Supergirl is captured and sent off to another dimension. This is my favorite part of the movie as we finally get to see the infamous Phantom Zone and Supergirl encounters peril she never dealt with before. With some help, Supergirl manages to escape the phantom zone for the final showdown with the evil witch.

Swiftgirl

This is a fun movie, although it was seen as flop and not as good as the first 2 Superman movies I feel like it is a must see if you are Christopher Reeve era superman fan and especially if you are a super heroine fan. You can get the DVD at Amazon.com.

I really enjoy the Supergirl character and this movie was very inspirational in my creation of Swiftgirl, who is inspired by this version of Supergirl.

UltraHeroix's 2014 year in review...

Hi all,
It's been an interesting year for Ultraheroix.com. I want to start off by thanking all of you fans for your support and following us. 2014 was a time of change in my personal life as we welcomed the newest member in the family with the birth of my first child. So with this new addition, it took some time and adjustment but I'm happy to say that we are back on track and we are producing more stories that will make 2015 an epic year in the Ultra Heroix world.

 Looking back at 2014, I was very happy with the production as the videos this year has been the best we've shot so far.  I also wanted to thank the new and old talent we worked with. I'm looking forward to 2015 as we continue to raise our game and tell the best stories possible in the UltraHeroix.com style.

Final Clash

This past
year, we had a few videos that saw the ending and resolution of the Dark Ultra saga and the aftermath. I was especially happy to see Lady Ultra coming back from the side of darkness and playing a pivotal role in ending the reign of C.L.A.S.H and it's leader Domintia. It was great and felt fulfilling to ending the storyline.

So, what's in store for 2015? Well, we are wrapping up another long running storyline that involves another of our most popular super heroine...Swiftgirl. I'm happy to say that we shot the conclusion of the Swift Reunion/Vod storyline. In 2013, we saw Swiftgirl encounter her super sibling and her fellow villains. Although, Swiftgirl was outnumbered and outmatched she was able to defeat Vod with the help from American Amazon. In 2015, we will see her  have the final super showdown with the remainder of the villainous trio.

Luna Starr

That's not all! In 2015 we will have new adventures and new characters. We will have a new heroine on the Sci-Fi side with the introduction of Luna Starr. If you are a fan of Star Trek and Flash Gordon then you will love her upcoming stories.

We will, of course bring back some of our characters you enjoy so much including Crimson Cat.

So with the wrapping up of two major story lines I will be developing a new one. I have a few I'm thinking out right now but I want it to be big that will involve both of our most popular and powerful super heroines taking on a threat that would be too great to take on alone.

So with the end of 2014, we will have a lot to look forward to in 2015. I want to thank all of you fans that has been with us these past few years and I could honestly say that the best is yet to come. Be sure to check out all our adventures at www.Ultraheroix.com ! Take a look at three of 2014 stories.
