Heh. Gotta love something this simple. He's a superhero... who makes lasers... and his name is 'Lasar'.

That's so clever, it puts He-Man figures to shame. :)

This guy was the first superhero I ever created... my earliest memory of this guy was drawing him on the back of an old envelope,melting a steel door with his lasers, when I was 7 years old. Sigh. (nostalgic interlude)

Over the many times between now and then that I've redrawn this character, he seems to get simpler every time. Talk about minimalist costumes...

I have no idea why he has those spikes on his wrists, but I distinctly remember that they've been there ever since that very first doodle.

I dunno...
Somehow, the crest on his helmet seems a bit superfluous...

:-) Zachariah Campbell replies: "Maybe, and yet I couldn't part with it... it's his essential feature, or one of them. Kind of an homage to the primal retro sci-fi design aesthetic that goes with a character who would be named "Lazar" don't you think? 2Oh, and it's not a helmet. Just a thing stuck to his mask I guess. Go figure. But then, he's probably not actually wearing a costume at all... he's basically just a hologram anyway, right? Or something like that... hmm... "
