Doctor Nexus:  He's a mad scientist who wears a suit of power armor, which also keeps his body in a "coherence field" so it's in human form rather than a "morphic" form that can get, well, out of control if he's in it for too long.  His suit flies, has force fields, sensor systems, tools so he can do all manner of repairs, strength, and can reform the limbs into whatever he needs (including giant blasters, tools, etc.).  He's a mega-genius, helped also because the material his body is now composed of is quasi-silicone (so it's basically like a morphic computer chip, when he's "coherent").  He's got cloning pods, genetically-crafted flying monkies that run his lair, err, "crime-fighting headquarters", robot sentinals, a computer named "hal", all deep in the ground beneath his gothic mansion on a mountainside where lightning flashes are present even when the rest of the city has calm weather... Oddly he's decided to join the hero league/team; this may be the same reason he wears the suit: a structure to keep him from turning into some kind of monster, even if he's still, erm, eccentric.  I see him as this world's version of Mr. Fantastic/Iron Man, mixed with Edna Mole from the Incredibles.Setting:  I like the idea of "fifties-isms" in the setting, even if we're around now (if for nothing else then the pop culture references).  I had this great setting for a web comic I was going to do just as my hands got reeeeeally bad tendonitis.  It's modern, but strong "fifties-isms", or at least sixties-isms and 70s-isms.  If my hands feel up to it, I'll see if I can ease out some basic drawings of this guy.  I didn't get much chance to draw the setting, but it's all in my head.</blockquote>
