Description

... then we shall reignite it, with fire and blood."

I decided to round the 10 big bosses of X-Men, X-Force, Gen-X and X-Factor in one package. This is more of a confession as to how I see them, so of course the base form did not come from thin air, I just added elements from here and there for the lulz. That and what voice would be ideal to me ...


10 BASTION
Theme Song: Confrontation (Genocyber OST)
Considering that he's an android bent on protecting humans by turning them into sentinels I just went for the whole metal flesh look that Clayton Crain gave him. Not much to add or change really. He should sound like Vincent Grass (french voice of Agent Smith. To give you an idea www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwOdi5…  )

9 EMPLATE
Theme Song: Unknown Theme (Tekken Tag Tournament)
Basically the way he's depicted on this cover vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/m… with scruffier, gray hair as if he spent a full decade inside an antic closet. Sound like a smoker most of the time, though upon the theft of an ability, his voice should somewhat mimick that of his victim.  That's mostly due to his ability of feasting on the genetic marrow of mutants and eventually take their powers from them as well.

8 EXODUS
Theme Song: Antares (Tekken 5)
Bennet's get-up here (though I admit, I'll have to draw him in more details at some point) borrows elements from Ermac's MKX get-up and the Voodoo King from GetBackers vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/g… . As for the voice, I think of his as similar to Ermac cosidering that he's a modified mutant. And that he's mostly a weapon that aims to defend his people.

7 STRYFE
Theme Song: Devil In Disguise (Yngwie Malmsteen)
Since the guy is Cable's clone/brother, you'd expect him to be just Nathan but evil. Which is erroneous because I always saw Stryfe as distinct in his posturing and his speech pattern. I imagine Cable sounding something close to Jotaro here www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EexAh… but I can't for the life of me picture Stryfe having the same voice. Due to his smugness and uncanny ability to rant like there's no tomorrow, someone like Brian Blessed would be a good choice.
As for the design, I just took some elements from his Askani-timeline outfits (yeah. THOSE fucking EXIST. And yet comic fans ignore them to bitch about his armor, cus yeah, that's the most ridiculous outfit evar...of course.) and added some elements from Souther (facial expressions...) and Baron Harkonnen's coat.

6 SINISTER
Theme Song: Selling My Soul (Black Sabbath)
What can be done better than what is already close to perfection ? I simply went with John Paul Leon's depiction of Dr Essex and Patrick Zircher's Sinister costume for the most part. The slight additions come from Lucifer de Medicis (a GetBackers antagonist who already LOOKS LIKE Nathaniel !) and Alucard's Vlad form (mainly from the cape...). Sinister is the sexiest Marvel villain and his voice only adds to that argument (Seriously, you can't top Christopher Britton's performance. That smooth as honey and sharp as razor blades voice is quite hard to pull off...).


5 APOCALYPSE
Theme Song: Apocalyptic City (Testament)
My En Sabah Nur is mainly a mish-mash of his appearance in "Further Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix" for the hat and general attire and the garb of Satan from the manga Bastard!! . I want him to look like a judge; imposing, honest and ruthless. Considering that voice-wise he is described as James Earl Jones-like (Louise Simonson's version) or as having one that "thunder would envy" (the Lobdell/Nicieza incarnation), then logically John Colicos just can not be topped.

4 CAMERON HODGE
Theme Song: Megalomaniac (KMFDM)
One of the primary X-Factor antagonists and shamefully forgotten. Considering he's truly just a cyborg head, you could give him the body of a Megazord and it'd still be legit. Since he's the perfect slimy douchebag, you can't do better than Stephem Ouimette's voice (man is that guy polyvalent !).

3 SELENE
Theme Song: Nethership (MK Deadly Alliance)
I am not that fond of the Hellfire Club S&M get-ups for women to be honest. Why is that ? Cause I am prudish ? Errr... devilkais.deviantart.com/art/L… devilkais.deviantart.com/art/I… ...no. It's simple; It's because they are fucking bland. Selene's best outfit to me is this static2.comicvine.com/uploads/…, THIS reflects the fact that she's from a different time period. Face-wise, I went with the Velvet Von Black features and the eyes she has on THIS particualr fanart ladymadcat.deviantart.com/art/… (They're as cold as the full moon she'll bury you under). And voice-wise, wouldn't this be ideal ? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfub07…

2 SEBASTIAN SHAW
Theme Song:  Moonlit Wilderness (Tekken 5)
Nothing to change here really. Seb looks fine the way he is; a ruthless pragmatic businessman. Voice-wise? Well... www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRjMWR…

1 SABRETOOTH
Theme Song: Ultra (KMFDM)
You wanna draw him correctly? Remember THIS quote "Hey, look around you, pal. You see how the world works? If there's a God, he looks like me."
Victor Creed once he got reimagined in Larry Hama's run and the "Omega Red" story-arc is basically the reverse Pr Ratigan/Hannibal Lecter; he looks like some brutal thug and acts like one but deep down, he's a manipulative, sneaky, opportunistic sadist who knows how to push anyone's buttons. I mixed his design from the Weapon X series and the appearance he had during the "Mary Shelley Overdrive" mini-series. I wanted to add a Wendigo fur skin on top but I thought there'd be too much white on the picture (BTW, did you know that Marvel's version of the Wendigo like, TOTALLY SUCKS. In fact, Carnage is a more accurate depiction of the real deal legendary monster...). Finally, as lacklustre "Hulk VS Wolverine" was, Mark Acheson is EXACTLY how my favorite versions of Sabretooth sound like !

So there is some o' my ol' thought process...
