So, the OCD is firing on all cylinders today, with regard to Marvel characters. Sometimes, things just stick to me like glue, I never forget them -- as much as I try -- and sometimes, though I know the creators available are not large in number, I have a couple of requests to see if anyone might have any interest.
First up: Well, I'm not that clever -- he's in the thread title. Created way back in 1975 in an issue of Giant-Size Spider-Man, Moses Magnum was once just an arms manufacturer and dealer. Nothing special...that is, of course, until he weaponized...himself.
Then, my friends, Moses Magnum gained seismic powers. He could use those powers much like Avalanche's and Havok's vibration waves, but on a significantly higher scale. Moses Magnum became THE MAN. (Well, in his own mind.) So much so, that he would say things like this:
https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1600&bih=789&q=marvel+moses+magnum&oq=Moses+Magnum&gs_l=img.1.1.0j0i5.2844.5823.0.8068.12.11.0.1.1.0.185.1047.8j3.11.0....0...1ac.1.51.img..0.12.1042.-GDvrm9o8ko#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=NwydbFxOm1tsdM%253A%3BFFm3VXC_AirQmM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.strangearts.ru%252Fsites%252Fdefault%252Ffiles%252Fu1717%252FMoses_magnum_0008.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.strangearts.ru%252Fheroes%252Fsunfire_shiro_yoshida%3B331%3B464 (https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1600&bih=789&q=marvel+moses+magnum&oq=Moses+Magnum&gs_l=img.1.1.0j0i5.2844.5823.0.8068.12.11.0.1.1.0.185.1047.8j3.11.0....0...1ac.1.51.img..0.12.1042.-GDvrm9o8ko#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=NwydbFxOm1tsdM%253A%3BFFm3VXC_AirQmM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.strangearts.ru%252Fsites%252Fdefault%252Ffiles%252Fu1717%252FMoses_magnum_0008.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.strangearts.ru%252Fheroes%252Fsunfire_shiro_yoshida%3B331%3B464)
And then back it up by doing things like this:
https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1600&bih=789&q=marvel+moses+magnum&oq=Moses+Magnum&gs_l=img.1.1.0j0i5.2844.5823.0.8068.12.11.0.1.1.0.185.1047.8j3.11.0....0...1ac.1.51.img..0.12.1042.-GDvrm9o8ko#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=Q7hvx7DtlnIL4M%253A%3BPgFjQtFbJ_Wq7M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.redcatproductions.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2013%252F10%252Fpanel_119_2.png%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fredcatproductions.com%252Ftag%252Fmoses-magnum%252F%3B910%3B320 (https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1600&bih=789&q=marvel+moses+magnum&oq=Moses+Magnum&gs_l=img.1.1.0j0i5.2844.5823.0.8068.12.11.0.1.1.0.185.1047.8j3.11.0....0...1ac.1.51.img..0.12.1042.-GDvrm9o8ko#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=Q7hvx7DtlnIL4M%253A%3BPgFjQtFbJ_Wq7M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.redcatproductions.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2013%252F10%252Fpanel_119_2.png%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fredcatproductions.com%252Ftag%252Fmoses-magnum%252F%3B910%3B320)
And then some of this:
https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1600&bih=789&q=marvel+moses+magnum&oq=Moses+Magnum&gs_l=img.1.1.0j0i5.2844.5823.0.8068.12.11.0.1.1.0.185.1047.8j3.11.0....0...1ac.1.51.img..0.12.1042.-GDvrm9o8ko#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=1JxwfvIj_a2qbM%253A%3BDItlhXNH30LECM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fworldofblackheroes.files.wordpress.com%252F2011%252F04%252Fmagnum14.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fworldofblackheroes.com%252F2011%252F04%252F24%252Fmoses-magnum%252F%3B551%3B580 (https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1600&bih=789&q=marvel+moses+magnum&oq=Moses+Magnum&gs_l=img.1.1.0j0i5.2844.5823.0.8068.12.11.0.1.1.0.185.1047.8j3.11.0....0...1ac.1.51.img..0.12.1042.-GDvrm9o8ko#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=1JxwfvIj_a2qbM%253A%3BDItlhXNH30LECM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fworldofblackheroes.files.wordpress.com%252F2011%252F04%252Fmagnum14.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fworldofblackheroes.com%252F2011%252F04%252F24%252Fmoses-magnum%252F%3B551%3B580)
Until finally, one day back in 1998, Mighty Marvel had Moses Magnum take on the Avengers, with cover copy that read...MOSES MAGNUM MEANS MURDER!!! OMG, SERIOUSLY? How can anyone not like seeing Earth's Mightiest Heroes getting rag-dolled like...this?!?!:

My friends, as well as any creator who might have some time on your hands, hasn't a (sorta) classic character like Moses Magnum earned a skin by now? Maybe? Possibly? Hopefully?
After all...Moses Magnum does mean...murder. :thumbup:
I have a feeling that Moses Magnum has already been done by someone? :unsure: I'll check my backup drive.
If there is a Moses Magnum, would somebody mind sending it to holy_pilgrim90@yahoo.com, as well?
Thanks! :thumbup:
I'll take a crack at him when I have some time! He looks pretty cool. I've always heard he was a Deathlok villain. I never knew he was this powerful.

If that is the case, so much the better -- I realize that makes it easier for all involved! LMK if you do find one, and I'll get you an e-mail address! :thumbup:

I know, right? Isn't that something? He's definitely cannon fodder, but he's
interesting cannon fodder. If you were to take a crack at him, whenever you have the time, I'd greatly appreciate it!

How does this look?
It's a bit of a rush job. I really need to go to my inlaws now for a camping trip....kind of delaying it though...

OH MY GOSH! Thank you so much for this!
Moses Magnum is gonna let loose the Magnum Force in about 2.6 seconds! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Posted some info about Moses Magnum that could be helpful for building a herofile, in the Herofile forum! (A forum I love and want/plan to use more often.)
