CAPTAIN SUPER FAMILY - The Dark Captain Marvel Family!

WB Animation Character Design, JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS, Captain Super, Captain Super Jr., and Uncle Super.

On an alternate Earth, versions of our heroes are twisted and villainous. The Marvel Family has its dark counterpart in The Super Family, henchmen for Superwoman. They are endowed with their formidable abilities to serve her evil whims. I worked from designs submitted by Alex Ross, and Bruce Timm. Once a more realistic direction was chosen, Phil Bourassa and I came up with these renditions, preserving enough exaggerated cartoon elements to keep things interesting. The characters are both comical and intimidating at the same time.

* In the final screen version, it's clear from the costume color scheme that the producers chose to cleverly allude to Black Adam. However, in my own personal revisions here, I wanted to go another way, back toward a dark, skewed, "mirror-universe" Marvel Family color scheme.
