Public Domain Redesign Contest #2 - The Banshee

For this contest I want everyone to redesign the Golden Age Character, THE BANSHEE
 
"When his stepfather was killed in Ireland by masked villain the Scorpion, Jim O'Donnell emigratesd to the U.S., where he found the villain and defeated him. He decided to begin a crime-fighting career as the Banshee in order to stop others from being hurt the way his stepfather was. A normal man, at first he wore what looked like yellow pantyhose and a bed sheet wrapped around his head to fight crime, later he switched to a blue body stocking while keeping the sheet. His method was to disorient the bad guys by giving a ghostly cry of ‘WHOOOOEEEE” before attacking. "

@payno: Pretty cool choice. Congrats, by the way. Looks like this could be a fun one.

I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out from this. This is an incredible choice. It, really, really interesting.

Thought I'd get in early with this one. Here is my redesign of THE BANSHEE.
 

My take on the Banshee

My Banshee is technically a cyborg with an attitude. A former heavy metal artist who discovered his voice can be manipulated in such a manner it can be a weapon of destruction. But unfortunately for him he was hit by a truck that severed his human jaw but he survived the ordeal. His evil twin sister, created him a robotic jaw that can extend up to 4 ft thus increasing his natural powers to higher coverage and variety of effects (like flying, speed, among others). But unfortunately (again) this time for his evil twin sister, Banshee has a golden heart so instead of spreading mayhem he became a hero instead. Using his vocal cords to bring justice to oppress and more ladies to be seduced by his hynoptic voice.

@payno: Great concept and design! @IcePrince_X: That's a really wild take, man, very unique. I like unique. Great job.

@Decept_O

thanks! when I read his story... the first thing that came to my head... why not a rock star for a change?

@Keroga

Nice work and you have been a busy bee this week! Great entry.

awesome stuff guys, nothing too fancy or hi-tech here, although I'm told the mask is magical and the reasons behind the sonic blast. :)

...Hmm...

Here's my entry.
