Remake/Remodel: Buck Rogers



Over at the Engine, this week's Remake/Remodel is Buck Rogers. I thought I'd take the classic sci-fi futuristic hero and put a current spin on him. Buck Rogers wakes up in a world where global warming has gone unchecked and the world is largely covered in water as glaciers at the poles have melted at increasingly alarming rates. Humankind has finally switched from fossil fuels and Buck's soldier uniform is powered by solar and hydro power and gives off no polluting gases. The intense sun requires him to remain completely covered from head to toe and special goggles are required to go out during the day. A breathing unit protects him from the toxic air. Fun!

Better Late Than Never...

Hi Everyone,

Over on the Warren Ellis fueled Engine boards they've been doing a really cool Remake/Remodel thread on a weekly basis where they reinvent old characters in fresh ways. I thought I'd finally man up and do one of these and post it.

Here's my take on Miss Masque largely inspired by this portion of the description - "Miss Masque is the secret identity of Diana Adams, a young socialite who decides to fight crime and injustice in disguise."
The ultimate modern socialite, or certainly most visible in the US is Paris Hilton. So my re-imagining is (frighteningly) Paris Hilton fighting crime. This is only an example of what she might look like, because knowing Paris she would never fight crime in the same outfit twice. Complete with a Justin Timberlake inspired hat, big celebrity shades, and Diamond studded "MM" insignia. Her little dog would probably be her side kick. She wants to be a little disguised, but not really... she's looking for another 15 minutes.

As a side note, Paris has a very square jawline...
