The_Customizer Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Professor Inferno Eurobricks: Batman Minifig Customization Contest Entry (2) by Lumbrax, on Flickr Backstory: The professor (as his students called him) was often found testing ideas and theories outside of what was legal, however, it was due to one of these tests that the incident which changed his life, was made. The Professor had been working on a new chemical which might be used instead of gasoline, or other combustible products. However, half way through, the mayor of Gotham decided it would be best for the testing to stop, due to the many recent explosions which had rocked the city during the "tests" the professor became angry, and refused to stop testing, until one fateful day when the new chemical (called Chemical Z) exploded, and covered the Professor, giving him 4th degree burns over most of his body, after arriving at Gotham hospital he was lucky to be alive, after a few weeks he was almost ready to go, until the Joker blew up the hospital, with the Professor stuck inside. This time, his body had become accustomed to fire, he absorbed the flames around him, and he was reborn as Professor Inferno, however, he required a special breathing mask in order to survive, shortly after, he decided to seek his revenge on Gotham, he became the villain Professor Inferno and continued on with his research, until he was able to make bombs, grenades, and other explosives which he would use to burn down Gotham, not even the Dark Knight would be able to stop him! His weapons of preference are a AA-12 (with special explosives packed in) and a timebomb, which he tends to carry with him wherever he goes, hoping to one day burn down Gotham, and the Dark Knight with it. All angles/views of the Professor. Villain by Lumbrax, on Flickr Minifig stand used to stabilize the figure for pictures, not actually a part of the entry. I compacted all the side views into one picture, to save room, as my pictures tend to be a bit "big".

Aether Fox Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Wow, this guy looks very eerie and menacing but also really cool! I really like his gold and red color scheme and the use of the Arealight headpiece for a breathing mask was a great idea! Good luck to you in the contest! Quote
LuxorV Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Nicely done, The_Customizer. Maybe you'll want to check the backstory for punctuation, and to re-take the vignette shot (as is, the minifig is out of focus). Quote

I do tend to be a bit "comma-happy" And I'll try to fix the Picture ASAP. Quote
