#130: Mixberry

Finally! Toy Story 4 is coming to theaters in summer 2017!!! Huh, looks like the Muppets were more-or-less right. Okay, after a few months of Marvel-esque creations, I've decided to return to my roots with an old-fashioned comedic post. Here's my new character: Mixberry! The JC-Verse is home to a large populous of talking food. I would give quite the reason, but telling the tale of a celestially-powered cook feels like more of a Saturday thing. But while some of these living meals find themselves in the Food Wars Universe or telling lively religious tales on television, others find themselves with a different purpose: bustin' out some dope tunes. Enter Mixberry. First growing onto the scene in 1994 with his hit, "Sweet-n-Sour (Fight the Power)," this bite-sized beatmaster has dominated the charts with songs such as "Ice Ice Berry" and ''Fruit! They're It Is." (I dedicate this post to my 1990s time-capsule of a cousin Jared. A pure example of the fact that growing up is only an option. Props, dawg!)

#129: Jillajones Skeltie

For all of you who are on Twitter, I would like to point that character #100, Doug, has just recently begun his account. If you could check it out and follow the guy, that would be ducky. Okay, sorry I'm posting my Halloween character the day after, but better late than never. Ladies and gentlemen, Jillajones Skeltie! Down in the hoodoo voodoo hodgepodge that is New Orleans, people at Halloween time come with the thoughts of big, scary ghouls flying around in their heads. Pretty pathetic, really, considering they're all freaked out over creatures that look like this heel-clicking fellow below. Living in Spaggleworth Manner with the rest of his apparition pals (including the oh-so-familiar Ghoulman), Skeltie is the large group's leader and a happy little snappy-dressed one at that. Fun fact: in our universe, Jillajones is a stuffed toy I got in a claw machine when I was a mere Jakeling. I just looked at the guy when I got him and thought, "I will name him Jillajones Skeltie!" Even I wonder how that name came about in my head. I was/am a strange child.

#128: Anticape

Sorry, guys! I could not apologize enough. I did not know about International Animation Day until it was over, but I will try to make up for it with some Walt. "Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive" -Walt Disney. Or in this case, the mind of 12-year-old. Speaking of, here's my new character: Anticape! I've told you of the 2014 Super Little Cape, I told you of the 1980s Super Little Cape, now I tell you the unfortunate tale of Rider Zain, the 1960s Super Little Cape. I know the '60s is usually the decade of which we try to forget, but this is important. Once simply an orphan from Pizeezle, California, Zain came upon the mystic cape when it shot through his window and clonked him in the thinker. Once he came back to consciousness, he accepted the job. But unfortunately, the cape can make you a superhero, but it can't make you a good guy. After using his powers to severely hurt a group of robbers, he was stripped of his cape and went kookoo-bananas. Now using a duplicate cape called Darkgarment, he has declared war on all future Super Little Capes and has become the raging fiend Anticape! Phew! Great Master Yoda's ghost, that was a mouthful. Well, post-full.  

BAD-OFF: ROUND IV

Congrats to the elastic ol' bean, the Impossible, for winning the latest BAD-OFF! Now, he takes on Griefer: 8-bit baddy and foe of SkyStar. All of us who've sat for millennia attempting and failing to win the boss battle on a video game feel ya, Impossible. We feel ya.

#127: Ozbald of Wuzzlemoo

I'd like to first point out that the idea for the following character is brought to you courtesy of my purple-clad, 5th-grade oddity of a friend, Sophie. Ladies and gentlemen, Ozbald of Wuzzlemoo! Amongst the rolling mauve hills and rubbery flora of the distant planet Wuzzlemoo, you would assume things couldn't get any weirder. Then you look down. And you realize a tiny blonde Wuzzlemese fellow is curiously poking away at your foot with his tiny staff. That, my friend, is Ozbald. Living among his fellow Wuzzlemesians in a large hollow tree, the blue chief wanders around, gathering food and items for his people and sporting the latest in trashed NASA technology on his staff. (Read post #72 and you will perfectly understand how such a strange creation could come out of Sophie's head.)

"LOOK SIR, DROIDS!"

I met a few celebs today...

#126: SkyStarreo

Okay, here's my new(ish) character: SkyStarreo! For the time when the console game crusader SkyStar was fighting the Doom Lord ZOO'OZ with the Mythlihood, the good avatars of the Virtuality assumed he had been ixnayed. So, for SkyStar's best buddy, Areo, this meant someone had to slap on that suit and carry on the persona like Avi would've wanted. And SkyStarreo was born. But as most of you probably know from Nickelodeon's Planet Sheen, giving the comic relief the role of protagonist is never successful. Equipped with highly advanced tech and just about as much knowledge of how to use it as a stereotypical TV-show parent, he flew through the pixelated skies as Avi's anime replacement. That's right, people. He Bucky Barns'd it.

#125: Super Little Cape (1988)

Now that I've stopped listening to to the catchiness of Panic! At The Disco - "Ready 2 Go" from The Smurfs for the bazillionth time, I will post a new character: Super Little Cape! I know. Déjà vu. But what I didn't tell you in #124: Super Little Cape is that Dean Zeckler was not the first person to dawn the small, super-powered costume accessory. In fact, for over 1,000 years, the Cape has been past down by various wearers to fight evil in various galaxies and dimensions. It just so happens that today, we'll learn of wearer #12, Theo P. Binson. Yeah, people. He's from the '80s. Back in said super rad decade, Binson was feeling like the biggest loser at Leroy Academy. But that ol' fun-sized garment has a way of finding people who sure as heck need it. After being chosen, Binson slapped on that cape and began defending New York (it's always New York) with his totally tubular powers and excellent purple do. He actually had to save the life of my previous character Fresh McCoy once. Fresh did the robot in front of a real robot. Groups were offended, lazers were shot and afros were fried.
