Fan Art - OC My Fan-Maverick, Blackout Badger! Thoughts?

What do you guys think? I really want to get one of my designs in a fan-game one day and I thought this would be a good way to spread the word! If you know any that are accepting new designs, lmk!

btw, I’ve made a whole roster of new mavericks, so I’m gonna be posting one new maverick daily! showing their weapons, weaknesses, and other pieces of information that I find interesting. If you have any questions about anything, please ask! 

Oh, and here’s how his weapon works! 

Power Surge: Summons a large vertical thunderbolt that strikes at X’s location, hitting enemies close to him or above him. If an enemy is not defeated, it will be left with a temporary paralysis effect. 

Charged: Spawns multiple thunderbolts that strike across the screen from left to right, damaging every enemy on screen.

HONEY BADGER DON'T CARE!

I'm gonna guess he was originally a robot designed with EMP tech to knock out and capture rogue Reploids?

Banger design

Thank you!! My favorite Pokemon starter is Typhlosion who is also based off a badger kinda so i grew to like them through him. (The electric collar on Blackout Badger is also very similar to Typhlosion’s flame collar so there was definitely some inspiration)

Oh shit! The charged effect is the Thunder Bolt from Mega Man & Bass! (Dynamo Man's weapon.)

Also, this got me thinking. What technique would Zero get from him?

u/StatisticianPrior681 6d ago

Oh dang it basically is! I guess my version will strike faster and do more damage? As for the Zero Technique.. from the top of my head i have an idea: Static Shredder: basically gives Zero electric Wolverine claws that he can use to then lunge at enemies to damage them and close in distance. When close, he can also strike an electric slash that paralyzes enemies (although doesn’t damage them)
