Although I haven’t done much with them publicly, The Evengers is a team that is very close to my heart. Part of the villain cast of the Exiles mod, The Evengers were created to be alternate, amalgam versions of some of Marvel’s premier superheroes and some of their collective rogue galleries. What’s an amalgam, you ask? Think of it as a mixture of character traits, ideologies, histories, and/or abilities, though it’s really not limited to just that. Anyway, it was an idea I was really pushing for because I had plans to use them later. Unfortunately, those plans never came to pass, but I was very grateful that at least the skins were created, and I had fleshed out their backgrounds.

Originally stated as an idea to simply “evilfy” some Marvel heroes, the project really came together when I teamed up with Murs47 during one of his many skinning sessions. At the time, Murs had just released some of his Mutant/Weapon X skins, and I saw a great opportunity to use them for my own projects. This association, however, began to breathe more life into my version of the “evil avengers,” and Murs and I went about fleshing out the characters and expanding the team into 9 active members. Murs handled the skinning and the design work and I handled all the writing, though we shared opinions on both aspects when asked. ‘Twas a nice partnership, and from it, sprung these guys:

The Evengers (from left to right):

  1. Henry Tron (Antron): Ultron/Hank Pym
  2. Jean Danvers (Ms. Marvel): Jean Grey (Phoenix)/Carol Danvers (Binary)
  3. Silver Bullet: Quicksilver
  4. King Glacius: Namor/Iceman
  5. Visionary Unit 1: Vision (wearable armor)
  6. Steve Isaiah Rogers (The Captain): Bucky/Captain America/Spirit of ’76
  7. The Monster: Hulk
  8. Tonya Starks (Iron Girl): Ironman
  9. Daniel Kai (Dragonfist): Iron Fist

Obviously, some characters are more inspired than others, but they each took on a role of their own in the Evenger stories I plan on putting on the blog sometime soon. So, if this little tidbit of information piqued your interest, check back over the next few weeks for the actual stories!
