This is the superhero I have been creating for the better part of 15 years for a piece for my digital imaging class.

He started out as a combination of a Power Ranger and the Rocketeer. Then a full-blown cyber-suited, superhero ala Iron Man. And then I discovered anime and he became something of a Guyver/Tekkaman Blade hybrid.

Now, he is the latest and youngest master of "Lightning-God Fist" ninjutsu in a 5,000-year-old line of shinobi whose armor allows them to combat demons. With the advent of various "super-heroes" and "super-villains", he decides to come out of the shadows and protect humanity from these conflicts.

His unimaginable power bewilders the world and views him as a savior when he is simply doing what he was trained to do. His dark-toned armor, wing-like sashes, and otherworldly power left many to dub him "The Dark Angel". Knowing he was anything but, he finally decided to come up with a name for the public to refer to him as. Since there is no literal translation of "Master Shinobi of the Lightning-God Fist" for the english-speaking world, he simply dubs himself...

Hyperbolt.

I am still working on his design. Look for a full blown character study soon (I may need your opinions!).
