I'm the writer, director and producer for UltraHeroix.com. We produce Super heroine themed videos that features action, peril and sexy campiness. This blog will not just cover news, updates and pictures regarding UltraHeroix.com but also other cool and interesting thoughts that I would like to share.
Hey all,
It's been awhile but we are back and I would like to spotlight our newest superheroine, the Black Wasp. I would like to star with her back story. The Black Wasp in her civilian life is an investigative blogger. She reports on crime and corruption in her small city and does someting about it in her superheroine persona. She has developed allies in the police department who has become frustrated with corruption and feed her info and back up when she needs it. She is also supported by her neighbors and supporters of her website by providing funding and tech support for her superheroine activities. Although she has no super-powers, she uses her intelligence and fighting skills to make a difference in her city. Although still a rookie, she has become a force to be reckoned with.
I was inspired by the character Black Canary and the superheroine show "Black Scorpion".
In her debut story, we have Black Wasp feeling confident, even a bit cocky from her victories fighting crime and petty criminals. Unfortunatley, she runs up against her first super villain, Deadeye! This veteran mercenary pulls no punches on the rookie superheroine as he pummels, captures and even shoots the Black Wasp. It might be a short career for the superheroine so be sure to check out her adventure at www.Ultraheroix.com
Hey folks,
We are back after a bit of a hiatus with this blog but we are back and what better way to make a return than focusing on the return of a long absent Ultraheroix.com than Arachne Dame! The last time we saw Arachne Dame, She was taken prisoner by Dark Ultra for C.L.A.S.H.
I figured this would be a good opportunity to go over her origin and what what happened to the character while she was missing during the C.L.A.S.H storyline.
Arachne Dame is a super heroine who takes on more investigative role in fighting crime. Besides normal crime fighting, she investigates corruption and conspiracy stories that people submit to her "Web Wave". The Web Wave is a blog/video channel that she uses to expose criminals and corrupt people of influence like politicians and rich people with questionable backgrounds. Her audience can submit stories or cases and if there is reasonable proof then she would investigate and bring those to justice or expose the evil to the public on her Web Wave. Though funding from the public by donations she is able to make this crusade a full-time career.
Sometimes, the people she investigates and exposes uses their political connections to retaliate and Arachne Dame becomes a target by the authorities. Unlike her fellow super heroines, she is more seen as an illegal vigilante that is not seen as an officer of justice like Lady Ultra or Dynafly. This is also why she mostly works alone as she can't trust her fellow heroines from arresting her and their own distrust of her.
When we are introduced to Arachne Dame, she is investigating the rise of a mysterious new crime organization, C.L.A.S.H (Criminal Legion Against Super Heroes/Heroines). This has also made the organization aware of her and tried to silence her before she exposes their existence before they are ready. The send the mercenary X-Diablo to silence her but she manages to escape and report her story. The second time they attack is when C.L.A.S.H was in their full push to take over Sol City
and were eliminating the superheroes. They sent a cyborg after her. Although she defeated it she was eventually captured by Dark Ultra.
She was then held prisoner by the organization until she was freed by Lady Ultra after the fall of C.L.A.S.H. She has since been resumed to her investigations and maintaining the Web Wave. The experience has made her tougher and more determined than ever to expose evil. She modified her costume and tactics to make herself more effective and to reflect this new attitude.
In the "The Spider Strikes", she returns to the heroine rotation of Ultraheroix.com as she encounters the mercenary, "Deadeye" on one of his missions.
Hey folks, we're back! This time to do a review on Gal Gadot's "Wonder Woman" movie. I have to say right away that this is currently the best superheroine mainstream movie! Patty Jenkins did an excellent job as director in that she balanced a great story with awesome action. The look and feel of the movie feels like it comes right of the Comic book.
The story is simple but effective as basically an origin movie that takes place mostly during the World War 1 period. We see Wonder Woman grow up, recieve training, discovering her powers and venturing into "Man's world" to save it from the God of war, Ares. It was incredible to see the Amazons as strong and sexy as they fight and dominate the Nazis that invade their island.
Gal Gadot did an awesome job as Diana Princ e, Wonder Woman. She came off as strong and charming and you really root for her in the movie. We also have Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, the love interest for Diana. He was really good and plays off well with Gadot as they show great chemistry together. One of my favorite characters was played by Robin Wright. She was Diana's aunt and trainer as she prepared her for possible dangers.
I have to say this was an awesome movie and I would put it in the top 10 if best super hero movies and best in super heroine movies. I can only look forward to the sequel and it looks like we'll get one after seeing the success of this one. We can see this Wonder Woman next in "Justice League" later in 2017.
Hi all, for this edition I wanted to share something a little different and focus on one of my inspirations for producing my super heroine stories. The fan film I'm talking about is a spiderman film called "The Green Goblin's Last Stand". What made this production so special is what was to be made in such a small to non-existent budget (only $400) but with a ton of passion.
This was created by Dan Poole in 1992, before the first Spider-man movie in the early 2000's. The was his passion project since he was a huge Spiderman fan and he saw this as an opportunity to get into the film-production business as an actor/stunt-man. In fact in this fan-film he plays as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and he did all of his own stunts. The highlight os this video is seeing him doing the crazy but awesome stunts from swinging from buildings on rope to diving into boxes and debris. The prop-making is also very interesting and creative. The storyline is based on the classic "Death of Gwen Stacy" storyline that pits Spiderman against his most dangerous arch-nemesis, Green Goblin in their most famous battle. Based on the budget constraints and location limitations, Dan Poole had to modify the storyline to be able to shoot and it works out great.
It's also cool to see how he used the environment and self-made props in this. It did give me a couple of ideas for my own productions. It should be noted that this was made in the early 1990's before Hi-definition cameras and the lighting is poor and the acting is a bit cheesy, campy and over the top but this kinda added to the charm of this video. It should also be known that this was one of the first fan-films to truly become one of the most popular in the fan-film genre and should be considered a must see. it is incredible to see how far amateur film-making has come along since then. But something this has that others lack is that this has a lot of heart and there are a lot of tips that new, self-made film-makers can learn from.
I first this fan-film when I bought it at a comic book convention as a DVD back in 2004 and it has been one of my favorite DVD's of all time. It also had a documentary of the story behind the production and it was very enlightening and informative. Not only did I see the fan film but the hard work and sacrifice that Dan Poole did and the "out of the box" thinking needed to create something special like this. As I've said the documentary was very helpful and I suggest anyone interested in film-making to check out the fan-film and documentary.
Today, you wouldn't be able to get the DVD anywhere since there are a lot copyright issues but fortunately both the film and documentary can be seen on Youtube. I suggest checking both out if you're a comic fan, aspiring film-maker and/or just a fan of fun stuff.
Hi Everyone,
We are back for the new year with a new video and a new look for UltraHeroix.com . Be sure to check it out. As for the video, it debuts a new villain/anti-hero called "Killer Joke". She is a bit of a combination of Deadpool and Harley Quinn.
The reason I created this character is to be the arch-nemesis to the heroine, Nightfox. I wanted her to be funny but deadly, chaotic but an excellent fighter. She is someone that will keep Nightfox on her toes and sometimes get the better of her.
She doesn't have a set origin yet and Im not sure I will giver her one since I want her to be a bit of a mystery. All that we need to know is that she is a mercenary and one of her favorite type of jobs is assassinations.
That would be easy enough for her to be a villain but to be an anti-hero we could play that if she works for the highest dollar then some of her jobs could be going after other villains for the right place. Then we could also put her as a target by those same villains who want revenge or see her as a threat.
So this is our first new video for 2017! Be sure to check out "Nightfox: Killer Joke" at UltraHeroix.com ! If we see enough positive reaction to Killer Joke then we would be seeing more adventures of with her in her own videos.
Seeing as we're in the middle of Summer I figured we'll focus on a special breed of heroines and that would be heroines of the jungle. For awhile these ladies rival the popularity of their super heroine peers and in a lot of cases they still do.
So let's focus on some of the more popular Jungle heroines. Everyone knows of "Jane" Tarzan's wife. Also known as Jane of the Jungle. She is
probably the most famous of the jungle heroines.
SHEENA: Queen of the Jungle. Sheena's origin is quite simple. She was an orphan who lived in the jungle and learned to communicate with animals. Her character was created in 1938. She had many comic book series, a movie and a television from 2000-2002.
I might do a movie review of the Sheena movie in the future but to give you an idea of it's background; It was produced in 1984 and starred Tanya Roberts. It wasn't a huge hit but manage to build up a cult following. In the future we might yet to see a new version in some form but for now we would most likely see her in the comic book form.
The next jungle heroine is Nyoka, The Jungle girl. She was created in 1941 and she was in a few movie serials during that time.
Nyoka's origin is that her family settled in Africa to treat and heal the natives, although it also seems Cult Retro" made some newer adventures which can be seen at nightveilmedia.com .
like it was a way to get away from a criminal affair that her family was wrapped up in. As she grew up into a young woman she became a protector of the jungle and it's inhabitants. In her many adventures she often ends up in peril and cliffhangers, part of the fun was seeing how she escaped from these situations.
These are just a few of the jungle heroines, others include Marvel Comics, Shanna the She-Devil. Wife Of Ka-Zaar nd they both defend the Savage Land. A hidden world in the Antartic where prehistoric creatures and mutants live.
Hey Everyone, We are back with a new update! For this one, I want to talk a bit about the new Wonder Woman...Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. When we think of live action versions of wonder woman, the first person we think of is Linda Cater's version. Linda's version is probably the most loved and iconic by most fans. But her version is best for another era.
For this generation, We needed a new version of this prolific super heroine. We would be getting this in the new movie "Batman V Superman", that was released in 2016. This would be the first time we would see the DC's heroic trinity together on screen so they all had to have the look and mannerisms that would fit in this movie universe.
Say what you will about the movie itself but I feel that one of the best things about that movie is the introduction of this new Wonder Woman. First off, Gal Gadot has done a great job portraying the heroine. She comes off strong, smart and sexy. She can kick your butt and look great doing it. We don't get too much backstory of this Wonder Woman other than she has been around for hundreds of years. She was even around during World War I. We should be getting more of her backstory in her own movie next year. But what we do know is that she is an awesome fighter and very intelligent as she even outsmarts Batman in a key part of the movie.
She easily holds her own against an insanely powerful foe and is able to work alongside her fellow heroes. Her movements are very fluid and when she attacks, you could feel the power behind her punches and kicks.
The look of this Wonder Woman is pretty different from earlier incarnations in that she is wearing more of what is considered armor and the colors of it is not very bright. She looks like a greek warrior but there are traces of her original comic book costume that I think fits very well for this updated modern version of this Wonder Woman.
So now that "Batman V Superman" story is over, where does this leave our Wonder Woman? Well, She has her own movie coming out in 2017 and then she returns after that for the 2-part "Justice League" movie. Hopefully, she gets a few movies because I believe this version...Gal Gadot's version of Wonder Woman has a lot of story potential and great action to tell.
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.
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 !
The Black Wasp in her civilian life is an investigative blogger. She reports on crime and corruption in her small city and does someting about it in her superheroine persona.
