These screenshot clippings are image references, primarily for the convenience of the EPU art staff, though anyone else who happens by is free to enjoy them, or not, as the fancy strikes.

Captain Photon, current standard ("Neutron Knight"-inspired) uniform:

(note "Starshot" pattern on cape and pants, Starburst Glow aura on fists)

(closeups showing face detail, chest logo)

Captain Phobos (Praetorian Captain Photon):

(note different cape, Vaporous aura on fists)

(closeups showing face detail, chest logo)

Both have the Energy Blast primary power set, shown here in action with Cap wearing his earlier "Battle Harness" costume:

Gen. Rossum, standard uniform:

(note pattern only on inside of cape, pattern on back of trousers)

(closeups showing face detail, chest logo)

(Gen. Rossum's pulse rifle, her main weapon - fires red laser bolts a la Star Wars blasters)


(Gen. Rossum's principal robot minion, No. 76 - note flashing red lights on back)

Cool CG.

Still, the first thing that crossed my mind was Edna (The Incredibles) snapping: "No capes!" :-)

Are these two archnemeses or is it a coincidence they're in the same post?

Which two? There are three characters there...

Captain Photon and Gen. Rossum -- I forgot he was also modeling for his Pratorean counterpart.

Archenemies? Perish the thought! They're pen pals!

Or, well, Dan Hudson and Jen Rossum are. Dan doesn't actually know that his friend in the Etoile Isles is one of Recluse's Chosen. And, to be fair, Jen wants nothing more than to get that pesky murder conviction overturned so she can get the hell out of that rathole, away from those Arachnos freakazoids, and back to the real world.

Not that I'm not encouraging the art staff to depict them engaged in an epic splash-page battle, because I am. But in-game, they've never actually met in costume.

You've got to love the fact that while you can' heal or give inspirations to enemies, you can send them love letters via inter-game email. :)

An alternate outfit for Gen. Rossum (and an update to No. 76):

Jen's "work clothes" - for wrenching shit up around the secret lair, fooling with inventions, and whatnot. welding goggles a must when you're fooling around with robotic parts.

Closeup for face/gloves detail. Also, note relatively modest proportions. She's only 16, after all.

The new, improved No. 76 - now an Assault Bot - being equipped for action by the automatic bot bay.

Nice big closeup showing detail on the new 76.

Jen and 76 Mark III, for scale. (This pic was taken in International Techno Union HQ, AKA "The Factory" - note the Oscillotronic Frammiscope in the background.)

Another scale shot, this time airborne in front of the salvage rack. If the game engine allowed it, Jen's preferred method of getting around would be to climb onto 76's back and let him do the flying. :)

And from the blue side, daring Norma Dinsdale puts in an appearance.

Norma is a student at St. Trinian's High School in Steel Canyon. Here she wears the standard St. Trinian's uniform.

She's a bit of a goth, but not a total drag about it, like some classmates she could mention.

Still, things have improved considerably since she was finally allowed to get a proper costume. You'd be amazed how hot and sweaty it gets fighting crime in a wool blazer. Gawd.

In her case, the goggles are mostly for show. Well, and they keep the wind out of her eyes on those long super jumps.

Most high school students who stumble across ancient magic artifacts on school field trips get cool superpowers, but ohh no, not Mrs. Dinsdale's little girl. She had to become the avatar of some ancient Meso-American god of spiney death or something. Her powers are totally gross. Still, they do work pretty well, and being the avatar of Itxtatlixtlotl the Undying has its advantages. And it's not like she's green-death-dripping spiney chick all the time. On the whole, after being seriously bummed about it for the first year or so, she's gotten used to the gig. Still, it would've been nice if her parents had let her have a secret identity. Not like every guy at St. Trinian's knowing about this action does her any good in the dating department.

On the plus side, her teen angst burns evildoers' flesh, which is pretty boss.

*snrk*

I've gotta say, the last write-up had me rolling. Man, I'm dying over here. Hee!

Of course, in the original St. Trinian's Norma's "little problem" would be considered a fun way to spend a boring weekend, and a great advantage on the hockey field. With this going for her, she might not even need steel-spiked boots, knuckledusters, or the traditional razor-edged hockey stick... ;)

re: riding around on 76's back - that's a classic super-robot image, Johnny Socko et al. ("Crush them now, Giant Robo!")

Those first couple of shots of Miss Dinsdale... very R. Dorothy. With just a hint of Jinx, I think.
