For my first submission for Forgotten Heroes this year, I present everyone’s favorite edgelord, ultra-violent, anonymous vigilante with a weird BDSM look to ever come out of the 90’s: X!

Wait, you don’t remember X? The guy with a padlock around his neck and only one eyehole in his mask? He was one of the “heroes” from Dark Horse Comics’ Comics Greatest World line. Well, I can’t really tell you his story, because although I have the first 15 or so issues of his comic, I tried reading them prior to making this miniature and I could barely get through 2 issues. It was written by Mike Baron, creator of Badger (which I like a lot). Needless to say, it’s not his best work.

But fret not. My description pretty much sums up all you need to know about him.

Anyway, to make X I used three Heroclix miniatures: Deathstroke and Selene pictured above…

And because I’m a dummy who forgets to take pictures of miniatures before he converts them, this Deadshot miniature, of which I only had one. I beheaded both Deadshot and Deathstroke, used Deathstroke’s head on Deadshot’s body, and cut Selene’s cape off and attached it. I added a little putty for his ripped cape around his neck and “sculpted” the ridiculous padlock. Then I painted him.

I think he came out ok.

Looks like I could have done a better job of removing that thing on Deadshot’s chest, but whatever.

I have at least one more to contribute to the challenge this year, so check back!
