I plan to keep it running – a fresh one every Monday. Artists need a place to show off, Whitechapel should always be It. A handful of entries will be showcased on http://www.Bleedingcool.com at the end of each challenge.

The Red Bee

THE RULES:

This is ART ONLY. Any pen-portraits, or crappy scribbles padded-out with words, will cause a deployment of the newly-trained Urethral Attack Maggots. And a banned account.

No stock-photo manipulation. No half-arsed bollocks. Anything deemed to be piss-takery will be nuked from orbit. Original photography is fine.

No more than ONE submission by any one person.

INSTRUCTIONS:

THE RED BEE

A simple, classic Golden Age character this week, to avoid too much Batshit Burnout. That said, this guy’s not without his very own whiff of Chiroptera cack:

“The Red Bee's secret identity is Rick Raleigh, assistant district attorney in Superior City, Oregon. His superhero modus operandi is to put on a red and yellow costume and, with his trained bees and "stinger gun," fight Nazis and gangsters.”


I like that he lives in Oregon. I like that Nazis and gangsters are considered interchangeable. I like that he has a “stinger gun” – presumably he doesn’t die every time he uses it a lá his chosen namesake – and above all I like that his Super Power is the enslavement and reckless endangerment of innocent Apoideans.

“His favorite bee is named Michael and lives inside his belt buckle for use in special circumstances; the feature's writer was presumably unaware that male bees do not sting at all.”


Ahhhh, Wikipedia snark. The best snark of all. The full entry is HERE.

So there you have it. A gender-confused bugnut who keeps his diminutive Best Friend inside his – hahahah – belt buckle, and styles himself after a waggle-dancing flower-bothering supermatriarchical gestalt. I think we can safely assume the poor chap has Issues.

Note that DC have already done the obvious and reinvented him – via his grandniece – as a superheroine with, apparently, “a mechanized battle suit and two robotic bees that can fire electricity.” That is NOT the character we’re playing with, and I shall consider it an act of Urethral-Maggot-Baiting laziness if you take inspiration from the SheBee instead of the HeBee.

I went a little RLSH with this one, an urban avenger type with a few psychological problems. I figure you'd have to be a little nutso to do someone, even a skinhead, execution-style with an injection gun full of bee venom.

Invader Zim fans, there's a little treat in there for you. ]]> REMAKE/REMODEL: the Red Bee http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10213&Focus=309370#Comment_309370 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10213&Focus=309370#Comment_309370 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 17:34:46 -0700 twentythoughts
EDIT: Aaaand after looking at the description again, I realized it was a little too close to the she-bee thing. Grah. Spandex to the rescue! Makes more sense than having bees carrying someone armored anyway.

I'm not interested in the Red Bee's issues. I just like the fact that he's the bane of all Nazis and he's got this fantastic stinger gun to do it with. And who better to sting than the top Nazi man? ]]> REMAKE/REMODEL: the Red Bee http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10213&Focus=309489#Comment_309489 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10213&Focus=309489#Comment_309489 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 04:14:03 -0700 kmcleod red bee ]]> REMAKE/REMODEL: the Red Bee http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10213&Focus=309491#Comment_309491 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10213&Focus=309491#Comment_309491 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 04:54:22 -0700 dnewling
