The League of Lego Heroes is a group on flickr that I'm involved with (group is probably an exaggeration, there's about 3 semi-active members ) but it's basically a joint world using original super-hero/villain characters. The idea is eventually to build using each others characters, so not story led, but just being able to create a bunch of creations set in the same 'universe'. Hawk Owl is my latest character. He's a wolverine/Batman type hero (in fact similar to Dark Claw, if you've ever read Amalgam Comics), an orphaned vigilante with enhanced healing abilities and senses and ninja skills... Hawk Owl by andhe :-), on Flickr He joins the roster of my current heroes: Millionaire scientist 'NightKnite' www.flickr.com/photos/andhe/9424136828/Former failed athlete 'Rocket Bluester' www.flickr.com/photos/andhe/9405697985/Lawyer by day, vigilante by night 'Eagle Patriot' www.flickr.com/photos/andhe/9668444985/Amazonian Warrior 'Mayan Maiden' www.flickr.com/photos/andhe/9833286103/Eastern European strong-woman 'Uberfrau' www.flickr.com/photos/andhe/10051204803/I enjoy the odd break from castle when I hit a creative wall. And it's nice to be challenged in different building techniques, and use some otherwise unused parts. If it sounds like your thing the group is www.flickr.com/groups/llh- suit up, sign up.

I've previously joined the group, and spent some time working on a few different figs so far, but nothing concrete. These guys are absolutely awesome. The Mayan Maiden and Eagle Patriot are my favorites. Their backstory is quite believable and I think they would be great superheroes

Here's my current build for this superhero thing. There's a story and some other pictures that goe with it on flickr. I had originally intended this to be NightKnite's secret base, but as I was building it I realised that it needed to be MUCH bigger and cooler to do the character justice. He's a billionaire crime-fighter after all!
I seem to be running the old flickr on my laptop at home, so this shouldn't be as much of a grievance as I was expecting.

Andy you are killing me with these superhero builds! I am trying to focus on castle building, and what little time I have left I tend to put into American Civil War or Star Wars. You have me wanting to branch out into this direction

Lol, I am probably the only one here who manages to successfully build Superhero stories and Castle at the same time, but then again, I switch. And I do use pretty much all my parts on what I'm building, then search my bins and stretch it for castle builds Anyway, looks great!

I love the inclusion of the fire extinguisher on the wall. Even superheroes need to be mindful of fire safety! Great job with these. Definitely not an area of interest enough for me to get involved, but I have a feeling you've got David hooked. He's a superhero/comic book junkie

Definitely not an area of interest enough for me to get involved, but I have a feeling you've got David hooked. He's a superhero/comic book junkie I recently saw a video where Marcos Bessa, the designer who's done a lot of the official superhero theme, explained why there is often a fire extinguisher in the MARVEL/DC sets. It's just a little joke he trys to fit in to the sets he designs. So I thought it fitted well in to my MOC. It also added a splash of colour to an otherwise grey and black MOC! Looking forward to seeing what David comes up with, I fear it may blow anything I attempt out of the water!
