" @GODofART: Maybe you should contact DC comics or Ed Benes if that is the case. Ed Benes is a talented artist and doubt he'd bother going to DeviantArt to "swipe" someone else's ideas. When did you post your art? Check when those issues of Teen Titans were published. Also, just to add, it could simply be coincidental, and unintentional.Thats what ive been trying to do. Ive calmed down since yesterday. Im not angry at Ed Benes! I just want to know wtf was he thinking? Thats all...
@MitchW192:
I like that, nice action and pose. I should remember to specify, though, that the DC 2099 Contest concept is for anyone to take the DC character and give him, her, or it, a "futuristic" change-over.
This was user Caligula's initial idea, a bit of a play on terms. Marvel Comics published several comic books years ago featuring their futuristic versions of characters, called "2099", set in the near future. Like Spider-Man 2099. What this Contest is doing, you take a DC character instead and make them futuristic, or "2099". If you have any questions, please PM me or post in this Contest thread. Just so you know what this Contest is about. You did a nice job, don't think I don't like what you did! "
DC 2099 #11: Terra
In the future, Tara Markov's DNA was used to create another clone, and the creation was a success. Having similar Earth moving powers as the original Terra, this Tara can manipulate sound waves, which creates a solid aura about herself and which also enables her to move telekinetically, any type of soil or rock from the Earth's surface.
She needs a device to amplify sound waves and which also amplifies her power. She often uses an advanced ionic powered guitar, and when she plays it, increases her power.
Thus, she truly is an Earth mover and a ROCK QUEEN, playing songs of yesteryear like "I Wanna Be Sedated", "Rock the Casbah", and "Welcome to the Jungle".
This is my replacement submission for this contest -
At the moment of
Terra
's death, her consciousness leaves her body and is absorbed by the earth. This gives Terra the ability to construct a new body for herself from the materials found in the earth. She can use the surrounding rock or soil and also the elements and minerals found within them to create a body. Each body she makes will have different properties, depending on the material it is made from. Terra can construct bodies in various shapes or sizes but prefers to take a form closely resembling her human body.Terra's consciousness will live on indefinitely within the earth (essentially giving her eternal life), meaning she will be alive well into the future.
Here are a few examples of the the materials she can use to construct a body:
ROCK
SAND
IRON
DIAMOND
MOLTEN ROCK
Here is my take on Terra.
When she died and turned into dust, her consciousness has remained because of her total control of the earth. It took her almost two hundred years to master her full control of her consciousness and can now take in any soil, minerals and limited control over life forms that are dependent of the earth to form her body.
Though she has complete control, it takes a lot from her concentration if she wants a more defined form... like shaping herself to a near human body like form - but it is in this form she becomes her most lethal and invulnerable state... since her near human form is created by her highest level of concentration, her mass and compactness is so tight she can weigh more than 100 tons and a single concentrated punch can break the bone of Doomsday and even Superman... unfortunately, it only takes her less than 15 minutes to maintain this form or less if she is moving alot after which she needs a long period of rest.
Lilian Isley was 19 when she went to Gotham University in the year 2099. She was a global environmental major. She had taken an internship as a paralegal at the Gaia Corporation. Lillian was a quiet sort. She kept to herself most of the time. She was truly passionate about the environment, a fact that Jason Woodrue, a founding partner, picked up on. He made her his personal assistant and over the next 9 months she was his veritable right hand. One day, Jason asked her if she knew her grandmother. Lily answered no, that she had been removed from her parents custody at a young age and put in foster care. Jason revealed that he knew her grandmother and could introduce them if she wanted. Lily was excited, she agreed and off they went.
After about 40 minutes of driving, Lily was growing impatient and scared. When she turned to ask Jason where they were headed, he attacked her, knocking her unconscious.
When she awoke, she was strapped to a table being bathed in green light. She frantically looked around the room and caught a glimpse of a lanky woman garbed in black and green. Her hair was flush red, much like Lily’s. Was it her grandmother? She then saw Jason, who went to the lady and began to speak.
“She has shown no abilities thus far…”
“We have already activated the fire, wind, and water creations, she has to be the Earth one!”
“But none of the plants have reacted to her…..” replied Jason. “I’m putting an end to this….” Jason drew a small dagger from his coat and approached…..
“NO!” screamed Lily as a pillar of earthen rock shot up through the floor forming a hand and grappling Woodrue. Stone tentacles snapped the bonds holding Lily on the table. The earth seemed to ebb and flow at her command. “Stay back….” She warned the lady.
The lady let out a laugh as she glided effortlessly across the floor. “Darling, don’t attempt threats when you aren’t willing to follow through. “
“Are you my grandmother?” Lily asked.
“I’ve been called many things love, Scandalous…..Notorious…….even…..Poisonous. No I am not your grandmother. I am your creator. Like your sister and brothers, I created you to serve in the coming ecological apocalypse. After the human race is obliterated, we can shape the world to our whims and designs. “
“No, “ she replied under her breath….
“No? Hmmm then we’ll just have to do better……next time!” Vines whipped out from under her cape as she lunged at Lily. Lily erected a stone dome for her safety. She felt the earth rumble beneath her feet. Lava spewed up dancing through the crevices in the room. The building started to shake and crumble. The lady picked up Woodrue and retreated as an explosion of volcanic proportions occurred.
When the smoke cleared, Lily stepped from her stone cocoon. She felt different, more attuned to the Earth’s natural vibration. She felt alive and not burdened by human constraints, then it hit her….an apocalypse was coming. She didn’t know when or how, but she knew she had to do something. As she began walking, she noticed a rock was floating and following her. She looked at it, and it reacted like a small puppy. She named him Igny. As she sat on Igny, he began to fly away until her eye caught something. It was the burnt remnants of a file cabinet. She voraciously dug through, finding the names and last known addresses of her “siblings”. This is where she would start. Forming a costume of minerals from the ground, she took on the name of Terra: protector of Mother Earth!
