"Presenting the most dangerous villain Superman has ever faced in ... THE POWER OF THE PARASITE. He feeds on living energy!" (from the cover of Action Comics #340, first appearance of the Parasite)
The Parasite was a mild-mannered worker in an atomic laboratory until the atomic wastes polluted his body. He became an energy-absorbing monster that could suck up the life force of any human. Eventually, he tried his powers on Superman. But the Man of Steel was too much for him and the Parasite exploded from an energy overdose. But somehow super-villains never seem to die. Some alien creatures restored the Parasite to his monstrous form, and once again he turned his energies to destroying Superman.
Recipe: I decided to take the classic design from the Silver Age era Parasite and update him by using a body with a newer design. It’s a Prometheus Engineer figure repainted and dry brushed with layers of black, different shades of purple, green and white.
Thank you very much Redmist, such a great compliment. I sure do appreciate it my friend. This was an entry for the Symbiotes and Parasites themed contest. Most entered symbiotes but I made a parasite.
Brother Ric, can't beleive I didn't comment on this bad boy. I know I gave it 5 stars because it llooked so great by using that Prometheus figure as a base. My bad bro, this looks truly awesome.
I appreciate the compliment from you as always Jedd, thank you. Yes, the base figure was an intriguing one to use for something. Parasite doesn't get much recognition as a major Superman villain like Doomsday, but he is actually a big threat to the man of steel.
Kudos to you Ric! using the Prometheus Engineer as a classic Parasite was Genius man , I love it! ,big and creepy a really scary parasite , Fantastic work bro , and for me the best and most original in the contest , way to think outside the usual box my friend!!!
En-Ryu-Oh!2061, Thanks Nestor my friend! I'm very grateful to see your comments and kind words. I went the parasite route rather than making a more popular symbiote for this contest. I do like to think outside of the box, the way you do as well. I know you've used this base figure on your great custom ideas before. It really is a creepy one.
Thanks a lot JohnnySpeed! That was what I was going for, though he isn't considered an "A-list" villain but he is capable of actually taking down Superman.
