2015 year in review for UltraHeroix.com

Hi folks,
It's a little late but I wanted to do a quick recap for 2015, which has been a very interesting and successful year for UltraHeroix.com. The year went by pretty quick but I felt we had some great stories and introduced some awesome new characters and stories. The three main highlights are:

1: The introduction of Luna Starr.

I've always been a fan of Star Trek and i really enjoyed the female characters, especially from the original series. Although there has been a few cool stories/episodes I felt that there was not enough with action with the female characters. Which is why I created Luna Starr. I wanted to have a Star Trek-like character with a more Buck Roger's feel and storyline and I believe we captured that perfectly.  Thanks to the actress and the rest of the cast, we were able to create butt-kicking story where the heroine did kick a lot of butt but was also on the receiving end. I look forward to getting back to Luna Starr in 2016.

2: The introduction of Agent Wonder.

This was another new character that was a breakout hit. She was inspired by the Cathy Lee Crosby version of Wonder Woman in the 1970's that had more of a super agent feel than a superhero and that what I went for in both of her stories. I was a big fan of the costume that seemed abandoned by DC and we were able to bring it back and it looked great. The best thing about this character is that I feel like I could drop her in any situation/storyline and it would work. Look forward to Agent Wonder coming back in a big way for 2016.

3: The return of older characters.

We were able to finish off the Swiftgirl storyline that involved the return of her evil super-siblings and her victory over them after a long battle. We also saw the return of Crimson Cat and Dynafly taking on the leftovers from the C.L.A.S.H storyline.

So, What do we have in store for 2016? Well, The return of Luna Starr, Agent Wonder and Lady Ultra and Swiftgirl in more action packed stories. I plan to involve more Horror type elements in upcoming stories that would involve everyone favoriteVampire Sorceress, Devla! I thin the villains are going to have a big year 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.

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.
