Adamas [Comic]

For many years now I've been creating comic book characters/video game characters and I've always wanted to do a comic book at some point.

So I was trying to come up with a "super hero" like character and I was brainstorming one day and thought of this awesome character which I have named Adamas.

Adamas is an old Greek word for diamond and this guy is literally like a diamond man with super powers so the name just made sense.

But even though I was trying to create a super hero, to explain him properly he needed to be something more.......... kind of like a supernatural god.

I designed the character and the general story and I liked it so much that I'm going to seriously put some effort into seeing this get made.


Here was the first drawing I created for the character. I took some generic super hero template and photoshopped it to turn it into my character.





Then I took some action figures I bought at the store and made a custom action figure of my character. I used oil paints to paint over the original character. I used spackling paste to fill in the joints and empty areas and used glitter on the head to represent the diamond look.





Then I commissioned an artist to do like a professional image.





Here is the general story so far:




And here is a Q and A for more information about the character:




Here is picture of what a space monster looks like. They start out as being small like human sized, but they can grow to be so large that they can consume entire planets for food. So they are like pests that have to be eliminated when they are small because once they get too big then they are basically unbeatable.

I love the character and idea and I hope you do to! Let me know what you think.

I like the design. For some reason, it's giving me a Fantastic Four vibe. The backstory is well thought out as well, making it seem it was not a rush job. I'll be keeping along to see what comes out of this. Nice job!

I like the backstory of this guy. Not a huge comic book / superhero fan, but this one's got me asking. Adamas VS Goku Death Battle when?

I just want to say, THANK YOU for all the positive support and comments.

I've never really been a big comic book reader myself. I've never been that person who reads comics and is into comics.

But, I'm really big in creating new and original characters and after you create a character you usually want to make up a story for the character and then you usually pick your story telling medium to tell this story in and comics seems to be a go to for creators.

Look at the Ninja Turtles, they started out as a comic, but then branched out as a cartoon, action figures, video games and a live action film.





I remember seeing the Prometheus movie and kind of understanding the story and yeah, I kind of saw the same connection there too, although unintentional.



Anytime you want it to happen! Actually its all about how popular the character is. There is this character One Punch Man who just started out as a poorly drawn webcomic but then shot up to super stardom fame when it got popular. Also the problem I have with Goku is that he just keeps getting stronger and stronger. There is no limit to his powers.



Both.

Reminds me of the VIsion

This is actually pretty awesome. I love everything, from the design to the backstory and the custom action figure is also super nice. Good luck with your futyre endeavours and finding supporters for them!

Since this is fiction you can really do whatever you want or whatever the plot requires if your lazy lol.

But seriously, the reason he is a god is because there is no other explanation I could give him. He can't be a human because he is made of pure diamond and is not human. Even a character made of diamond is still not possible because you need like a brain and such to think so the character is truthfully not possible in our universe. This is why I'm calling him supernatural because it really cannot be explained using regular logic.

He is pretty darn strong. Strong enough that no human could ever win in a one on one tug-of-war match. I would say that a good tug-of-war match would be with Godzilla (the kind of monsters). I like the idea of him going into battle and loosing to a very strong opponent only to walk away and figure out a different strategy and then come back ever stronger.

Like you can lose in a match and still not get any stronger but figure out what went wrong and then come back with a different battle plan and win.

I also like the idea of him discovering new powers of his. Like for example, he has the ability to create energy blasts from his hands, but he didn't know that at first, he had to discover that he could do this.

So over time he learns more about himself and more about his own powers. As he learns new powers he thus becomes "more powerful".

Also eventually he will die of old age. Apparently diamonds degrade to graphite after so many billions of years so when he gets to be really old he will turn into pencil lead. LOL. But he can always be rejuvenated with actual diamonds and come back to life. So it makes for good story telling when you can kill a character and bring him back and such.
