Superhero Sunday: Captain Bluebird Action Figure

I consider this post a follow up to yesterday's post since it features Captain Bluebird as an action figure. I still think the jetpack is overkill, but I do like the wings (shame that Meta AI cut the tips off).

Science Fiction: Captain Bluebird #1 Comic Book Cover

I was trying to create an arch nemesis for Captain Bluebird with HeroMachine and Meta AI. The villain was interesting, but Meta decided to come up with a totally different version of Captain Bluebird. I think this makes the third version of him. While I like his wings, I find his jetpack an interesting addition (he originally had a white cape too, but I got rid of that). I decided to create a cover for Captain Bluebird #1.

Women Wednesday: Wonder Woman Tries New Uniforms

Wonder Woman decided it's time to try a new look and turned to Grok for help. She decided to try Star Trek, G.I. Joe and Cobra uniforms. The last one is my favorite.

Toy Tuesday: Captain Bluebird Galactic Quest Game

I asked Grok to create a board game based on Moongem Comics. The AI came up with a science fiction board game called Captain Bluebird Galactic Quest.

The miniature figures used in the game include Captain Bluebird, Shadow Avenger and Doctor Moongem (he's a mad scientist here instead of a superhero). You can tell the differences between the figures in the two pictures (I like the ones from the first picture).

Captain Bluebird Galactic Quest is an interesting board game but not exaxtly what I was exptecting.

Here are three replicants from Blade Runner that Grok came up with:

IDW Publishing released Star Trek: 60th Anniversary Special #1 earlier this week. Here's the official summary:

Join us as we make history!"

Science Fiction Saturday: Lonja from Jakbat

Many moons ago, I created Lonja with the help of HeroMachine. I really didn't do much with her other than put her on my Moongem website. I forgot about her and never did a background story for her. The alien woman was never intended to be a character for Moongem Comics but I might have to change that.

Lonja from Jakbat Created with HeroMachine

Yesterday, I was playing around with Grok and created two action figures. The first one looks more like a figurine while the second one is a retro action figure. I like the first one better of the two.

Science Fiction Saturday: Captain Bluebird and His Spaceship

Many moons ago, I created a character for Moongem Comics called Captain Bluebird. He was sort of a modern-day version of DC's Blackhawk. A few days ago, I decided to play around with the idea of making a future version of him with AI. Here are two pictures of Captain Bluebird and his spaceship:
