Aberrate Designs

Almost three years ago, Nick and a few of his very close friends took a trip to New York to see Evil Dead… The Musical.  While they were their they reverted back to the age of 13, and came up with some crazy ideas.  They were to include Steaming Manhole.  So the story goes that while they were walking down the street in the bitter cold they noticed, well… a steaming manhole.  And, they took this ordinary street visual and decided that if a particular friend of theirs was a superhero, he would have steamy manhole powers (ew, that came out even grosser when I said it out loud).  Not exactly flattering, but if you have superpowers, would you really worry too much about what they were?  Yeah, I would too.  Nick thought he’d gotten rid of the original sketch, but he thought wrong.  So, here you’ll find sketched, inked & colored… The Steaming Manhole (so intimidating).

Steaming Manhole is the first in the Unlikely Superheroes line. Since we’re going to be creating unlikely superheroes, I thought it would be just as much fun to start a super-villains line. But, not any super-villains. Likely Super-villains. With times being the way the are, it just seemed right to introduce The Mortgage Lender (that bastard).
