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.

Return of Lady Ultra

Fly or Die

UltraHeroix spotlight on Dynafly...

When I started UltraHeroix.com I knew I had to create a core cast of original super heroines. I already had Lady Ultra and Crimson Cat but I needed a third to complete a diverse "team" of super heroines.

"Ultra Domination"

Lady Ultra had super powers, Crimson Cat was a ninja and I felt like I needed a normal person in a heroine role. The thing that made her special that would help her keep up with the other heroines and villains is her intelligence. So, I decide to make her a tech-based heroine. At the time, I didn't have the time or budget to create a suit of armor (and it wouldn't look that sexy). So I looked at other famous superheroes for inspiration. Batman has his gadgets and even Spiderman has used his brains along with his powers to create tools to aid him.

"Shipping & Villainy"

I decided on the fly motif because I wanted to give her a unique look and a few different skills from the other heroines. I looked back other heroines and I came across Flygirl, who used to be a sidekick for the "The Fly" another superhero that was produced by Archie comics. From what I remembered, They just had wings and a gun in their crime-fighting duties. So, I felt this was something I could easily build off of and develop Dynafly into her own character. This heroine would have brains and a decent fighting background to make her a formidable opponent against villains. At first I felt she needed additional powers like bio-sting punches and ability to stick to walls but by the time I reached her second video, I realized that she didn't need them since she could fly with her wings and she could stun them with her ray gun. Some other things I added to her utility belt was handcuffs for defeated crooks and mini explosives for bigger tougher foes.

There has been 4 actresses to play Dynafly but there has only been 2 Dynaflys. The first Dynafly had a pretty short super heroine career before it was cut short by the first super villain, Dominator in "Ultra Domination" . Her name was Jane Jensen and she was inspired by previous super heroines to become one herself. Once she reached college she studied Physics and other sciences to compensate for lack of super powers and she created the identity of Dynafly. After encountering the Dominator, she retired due to her injuries and passed the Dynafly mantle to her sorority sister, Claire Ryder. Claire has a similar background and interests was easily able to assume the role and go further with it than her predecessor. She took over for "Shipping & Villainy" .

"Fly Trapped"

One of the things that I like about Dynafly is her perseverance. She has either been outnumbered or out-powered but never gives up, even when she is on the losing end. This really shows in her latest adventure as she fights for her soul in "Fly or Die"  after she was defeated and webbed up in "Fly Trapped". She is out-powered by a demon named, Grimskull and although she has been easily defeated in battle against him, she never gives up and uses her wits to try and survive. 

"Fly or Die"

Be sure to check out her latest adventure "Fly or Die" now at UltraHeroix.com and then her other adventures!

Web Series, "We Might Be Superheroes..."

Hey folks, I hope everyone will enjoy this labor day weekend. So let's start off with a rundown of an entertaining web series that can be found on youtube called "We might be Superheroes".  It features a girl super heroine team/ partnership. A butt-kicking, serious heroine named "Hope" and her partner, a less experienced but overly enthusiastic friend named "Faith". This series has been going on for a few years now as they tackle petty crooks, super-villains and an occasional monster and the series only seems to improve as they go. The characters are smart, funny and relatable as you get to see their normal day to day lives outside of the super heroics like enjoying a beer after a tough case or going on a road trip.

This pair of super heroines goes on crime-fighting adventures that has a tone of campiness of the 1960's Batman TV show but with a 21st century edge. It is produced by, Amusement Films . This Production company has experience in producing low budget films that are more heroine centric that ranges from comic book superhero stuff to campy horror themed adventures. Most of their productions have great fight choreography with some peril situations but is mostly girl-power themed and is PG rated type fun that fans of all ages could enjoy.

El Frenetico and Go-Girl

Girls from H.A.R.M

I've also got to mention the production team behind this series because they should get special recognition for excellent work. I've been a fan of "Amusement Films" for over ten year now since they produced films like "El Frenetico and Go-girl"and "The Girls from H.A.R.M", which I'll review in an upcoming posts. As I mentioned they have a flair for fun campiness but with modern stories, hip music and great fight choreography.  They make the most out of their small budget with creative stories, excellent choices in locations and simple but effective costumes. You could tell that they really love what they do as it shows in their work and they really now how to stretch a stretch a dollar to get what they want.

"We might be Superheroes" episodes can be seen on youtube via their channel https://www.youtube.com/amusementfilms or at their website at http://www.wemightbesuperheroes.com and their episodes usually run for less than 10 minutes so it's a great distraction and it's free. I'd like to wrap up this short post by saying that this series is an excellent little gem for the super heroine fans and the production gives me as a producer ,motivation to create what I love on my own limited budget.

UltraHeroix.com spotlight and Return of Lady Ultra...

Lady Ultra from UltraHeroix.com

Hi all, This posting will serve a duel purpose. To spotlight our flagship character, Lady Ultra and her latest story lines .

Lady Ultra from UltraHeroix.com

Lady Ultra has always been my oldest and favorite creation, which is why she's always been the main character for my stories. I created her way back in 2001 while I was taking a web design course and one of our assignments was to create a website on anything that interested us. At that time, I was (and still is) a comic book fan but I wanted to make my site more unique. At that time I was a big fan of Sooperhero.com and their photo-stories of super heroines in peril so I decided to create my own character that I could write and draw about and "Lady Ultra" was born. She was the focus for my first website, The Adventures of Lady Ultra and Co. She was inspired by supergirl with a few variations. She was not an alien and the origin of her powers were left ambiguous. I also made it a point to giver her an African-American background. There are so few racially diverse characters out there, especially super heroines that I wanted to make her even more unique.

Lady Ultra from UltraHeroix.com

I had so much fun drawing and updating the site, which filled with cosplay of comic book and anime super heroines that I updated almost weekly for years. Then almost ten years later I had the opportunity to create another website; UltraHeroix.com to showcase my own video stories and it was a no-brainer that my flagship character would be Lady Ultra and she starred in the first few stories before I branched into other characters.

So who is Lady Ultra?
I created an origin but it will be tweaked and re-vamped as we move on, especially when I start plans of doing a full movie which should be sooner than later.

Her real name is Monica Chase and lives and based out of the fictional city called "Sol City". As of right now, her civilian life will be pretty flexible because her main focus and passion is being Lady Ultra and everything else comes second. The source of her powers are a mystery even to her. One day she just found out she had powers and she believes she was given them in a spiritual sense for a purpose  to do good in the world.  She is a natural leader and inspires the other super heroines in her world.

She has super strength, invulnerability, flight and the ability to shoot energy from her hands. Her weakness is the if she uses her energy projection too much it weakens her. She is also at times over-confident which causes her to under-estimate her enemies.

So where is she now in her current storyline?
The last few videos, she was brainwashed into serving a criminal organization called C.L.A.S.H as "Dark Embrace" by their leader Domintia and became the villainess, Dark Ultra. She was instrumental in their growth of

power as she defeated her fellow allies/super heroines. She was recently brought back to her senses when she was rescued by Crimson Cat and both heroines defeated Domintia and crippled C.L.A.S.H. Now she is focusing her energies in bringing in the former leaders of C.L.A.S.H to make sure the organization stays dead and they answer for their crimes.

"Return of Lady Ultra" video at UltraHeroix.com

In "The Return of Lady Ultra", Lady Ultra is back to her old self and wearing her traditional costume. Her first target is one of CLASH most powerful members, Death Punch. The villainess has taken over a gang after defeating the super heroine of their city "Nightfox".

In this one video, Lady Ultra fights a villain that rival her in strength but surpasses her in ruthlessness.

So, where will we go now with Lady Ultra?

She will be facing a major old foe from the past for and episode or two and then encounter a major evil force to be reckoned with. This particular villain is brand new and so powerful, Lady Ultra must not only team up with other heroines to try and save the day but to just survive this new foe. During this storyline, I will have her suffer her most brutal defeat and her slow rise from the pit to overcome this threat.

Lady Ultra has always been my pride and joy and she has been a favorite of our fans too. I've been lucky to work with great actresses that was able to bring her to life and I look forward to where her stories will take her and I'm sure you will too.
Here are a few samples of Lady Ultra videos that can be found at Ultraheroix.com :

UltraHeroix Spotlight: Devla, Vampire Sorceress

I figured I'll start a new feature for this blog and do a character spotlight from time to time. It'll be a great way to give some background info on some characters and give light of what's coming up in future stories.

For this spotlight we'll showcase: Devla, The Vampire Sorceress

"Devla's Revenge" video

When I created Devla, I wanted a Villainess that was deadly but gorgeous. A villainess that could rival the power of my powerful heroines and not just in strength but in other areas that would be hard to defend against like magic. She would also be manipulative and use minions and other creatures to do her bidding. Finally, I liked the vampire aspect in that they are devilish but at the same time can also be sensual and seductive to their victims. 

Here is her origin:

       Devla began her life as a human/vampire hybrid. She had the powers of the vampire but could survive in the daylight like a human. Feared by humans and shunned by other vampires, she grew a hatred for all beings. She began her quest to gain power to rule the world of light and darkness. To do this, she would have to surpass the power of a vampire, so she studied the dark arts of magic and became an expert level of a witch.

      As her power grew, she became a threat to the Royal Vampire families. Her body was slain but her her life essence was imprisoned for 200 years in a magical chest. The chest was eventually lost until it was found by an antique collector. It was stored in a basement and forgotten until a thief found it and unwittingly opened it and released Devla's spirit which took over the thief's body.

      Since then Devla has been slowly accumulating power, moving from one host body to another and  building a legion of dark minions in her quest for world domination.

Strengths: Super strength, durability, mind manipulation, energy draining, magic and other common vampire attributes. Can survive in daylight. Can control monsters and other super-natural creatures.

Weakness: Although sunlight can't kill her, it weakens her. Has to drain energy and or blood regularly from victims to maintain peak strength. Vulnerable to magic. Due to her deceitful nature, there is a lack of trust between her and allies,  who may later turn against her.

I plan to bring back Devla in a big way, she will have a new host body and more resources than just magic that may put Lady Ultra on the ropes...permanently.
