Nutzoids: Character Sketches

Nutzoids: Character Sketches

These are sketches of the main characters of my newly released comic ebook "Nutzoids: Attack of the Dark Lord".

Dr Strawberry

Dr Strawberry – Inventor of the Strawberry Molecular Super Chip that can turn a smart phone into the world’s most powerful super computer. His Einstein like face and small frame house a brilliantly creative mind that is driven by rapacious greed. He created the Nutzoids out of recycled materials to fulfill a Defense Department contract because he believes it will give him a larger profit margin. In a cosmic turn of events the law of unintended consequences kicks in trapping Dr Strawberry between the overwhelming power of a truly evil mastermind (The Dark Lord Of The Senate) and the growing independence of his newly created super heroes.

Bit Brain

Bit Brain – Is the defacto leader of the Nutzoids. He started life as Dr Strawberry’s personal robot assistant but has developed a sense of independence and other characteristics that have brought him into direct conflict with his creator. He has repeatedly beaten IBM’s Deep Blue at chess and is a strategic genius with a MacGyver like ability to improvise but soon discovers an evil nemesis in the form of the Chinese super spy computer Sun Tzu.

Can Man

Can Man – Is a brash, over confident robot built from a trashcan. His hydraulic powered arms and legs give him strength far beyond even the strongest human. He can fly with the help of a rocket belt and his robotic frame is covered head to toe with an invisible micro layering of carbon fiber and titanium. Bullets can’t pierce him and explosions rarely do much damage. When danger beckons he is the first into the fray. He is smart but not brilliant. He is often in over his head but has a sense of humor and coolness under pressure that only a Spartan could love.

Motar

Motar – Built from a discarded engine block he is the world’s fastest robot. As the world’s first hydrogen power super hero he cruises at speeds in excess of a bullet train. His top speed is a closely guarded military secret. Like Can Man, he has a carbon fiber titanium protective covering. Motar is the steadfast member of the group sometimes cautious but always there when you need him. Common sense is his hallmark and he has little patience for people or super heroes who do stupid things consequently he and Can Man have a dicey relationship.

The Incredible Heap

The Incredible Heap – Is a bio genetic experiment that failed and was dumped, by Dr Strawberry, into a landfill near his lab. Much to the greedy Doctor’s surprise the entire landfill came to life and “The Heap” was born. Able to topple tall buildings with a single shove the Heap is not very smart but innocent and caring. He can be manipulated at times but when he realizes that he has been made the fool, his anger is a fearsome thing to behold. He lives on garbage and can grow to massive proportions if allowed to graze for long periods of time. Conversely doing super hero work helps him stay slim and trim. The Heap gets along with everyone in the group whether they like him or not. He is often not smart enough to realize that he is the butt of their jokes and is too good-natured to care. The Heap can disguise himself as a large pile of trash thus giving him the ability to hide in plain sight.

Eco

Eco – Is the mascot of the Nutzoids. She was a giant African snail who was the subject of a series of cyborg implantations and genetic alterations at the hands of Dr Strawberry. Eco has the intelligence of a well-trained guard dog and tends to behave like one but with a shocking special ability. She is a giant cybernetic electric snail capable of shocking anyone within a few hundred feet of her. When really threatened she can generate an Electromagnetic shock wave the equivalent of a small nuclear device. Eco can also protect herself and others by generating an electromagnetic bubble around them. Like Heap she is good-natured but not as trusting as he is. Eco in fact has special sensors and facial recognition software that allows her to identify people and tell when they are lying. She is liked and treated well by all members of the team but is closest to the Heap.  

Dark Lord of the Senate

The Dark Lord of the Senate - Brilliant and charismatic he cloaks himself in darkness to obscure his true objective, the accumulation of power. In fact, he is a creature of power. Tolkien's ring has captured his soul. He will risk anything and destroy anyone to achieve his goals. Dr Strawberry's enormous greed has lured him into the Dark Lord's web and now the Nutzoids are about to experience the full power of his wrath.
