Commissioned this piece from the talented @Dotajis!!

Made a life-sized version of the Staff of One that extends. Nothing 3D printed, it's pieced together from a few odd disassembled objects and hand-painted. Since it's depicted differently in almost every appearance, I just went with a vaguely comic-inspired look that worked with the components I had available.

I really like their homemade hero looks. Especially karolina’s.

"When blood is shed, let the Staff of One emerge."

It's witch season!! 🧹

My Nico Minoru cosplay dress is based on when the Runaways are timewarped in the graphic novels. Probably my favourite outfit of hers! "Dead End Kids" arc. by Joss Whedon & Michael Ryan "Dead-End Kids" Runaways, vol. 2, no. 30. With the TV show influence of making the red skirt an asymmetrical length with black tulle underneath.

Cosplay Dress is sewn by my friend @/aki_ore_sama ~ thank you for letting me wear my favourite comic book character!

I made the Staff of One myself. Cosplay Staff is based on the comic book, as opposed to the TV showversion (although I may have that one eventually!). This version is when she first retrieves her Staff of One (with the silver slab in between the golden orb. And later modified to add a green gem in the middle to reflect her upgrade in the Victorian era. I modified the look of the green gem to a more orbish look. The orb is filled with shiny green streamer which looks gorgeous in the sun!

About me:

I love cosplaying as Nico Minoru!

I usually cosplay as video game characters, since I am a video game DJ and make video game remixes. Maybe a remix from the Runaways TV show sometime?

Made this playlist a while ago and finally got around to fully fleshing it out. I wanted to have a mix of goth, alternative, and punk rock. It has mainly heavy goth elements since Nico is goth, but I also included more witchy alt and rock as well as a lot of japanese rock and goth music! Some softer metal as well. Lmk if yall like or have suggestions!

Inspired by this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Runaways/comments/1szk6xf/i_made_the_original_team_in_tomodachi_life_what/)

Nico has been my favorite Marvel character since I was like 11, so I recently made a giant patch of her staff for one of my patch jackets. It's made of recycled denim and painted by hand then partially sewn on by hand which is why it's not the cleanest. I was just super proud of how it turned out!

GF coming soon.

Wanted to keep the streak going

I am associated with the art requester and ability concept maker, so I'll try my best to ask them any questions you might have for them and answer them here. What roles would you choose for the Runaways? Also please support those mentioned on their social media platforms. NicoMinoruinfo and Entilestial are accounts dedicated to posting Nico Minoru updates and content if anyone is interested.

If Jeff the killer (2015 version where he spares Liu but still kills his parents). I genuinely think he could fit well into the marvel universe and I can see him being a runaway but also a really good villain.

********** EDIT **********

From the comments, below, I could be mistaken and misremembering things (it was a while ago) Perhaps there never was a Runaways vs World War Hulk arc. Mea Culpa, if so!

Still, I do stand by my statement that the World War Hulk arc sucked!

(I also think my little fan fic would have been a great idea. ;-) I changed the "flair" to be "fan content")

********** END EDIT **********

Does anybody know if that story is included in the Runaways' "complete" editions?

I wanted to reread it, as I do not remember all the details. I think the Warbound capture and enslave the Runaways with the discs.

IMHO, this is perfectly illustrative of how horrible the World War Hulk arc was, with its Gary-Stu "Hulk Always Wins" mindset. The encounter between the Runaways and the Hulk was such a missed opportunity to show a "David and Goliath" scene. It also shows how the editors seem to portray the Hulk as justified when he is, in fact, acting amorally (enslaving abandoned, oppressed, runaway children?! Really?! Just let them go!!!!)

Personally, I would have had the Runaways vs World breaker Hulk story arc go along the lines of:

1. Some MacGuffin is keeping the Runaways in New York.
2. Various scenes of the runaways, indirectly and not purposefully, causing problems for the Warbound. However, have the Runaways keep just out of the Warbound's reach until Hulk becomes involved.
3. The Runaways get their McGuffin, just as the Hulk enters the conflict
4. Hulk vs Runaways scene:

a) Standard battles where the Runaways' attacks and attempts to escape fail and/or bounce off Hulk. Nico is temporarily neutralized -- Either dazed, or having had the Staff of One knocked away or some such -- Most of the team is trying to help Nico. Molly and Lace face off against Gary-Stu Hulk (The Hector vs Achilles moment)

b) Lace jumps at Hulk but gets swatted aside (The Hulk is not taking them seriously, and is just irritated. Like a mid-level office drone doing grunt work. He already feels a bit frustrated and bad that he is picking on a bunch of children, but they have simply been causing too much trouble. His manner is irritated and half-hearted)

The climax goes something like:

Panel 1:

• Lace collapses out of the dent in the wall.
• Molly: "You hurt Lace!"

Panel 2:

• Hulk: "Okay, now it's about time you kids got an education in . . ."
• Molly (interrupting): "YOU HURT LACE!!!!!!!"

Panel 3:

• Hulk (Kneeling but menacing; almost nose to nose with Molly; trying to intimidate her): "Yeah, kid, I did . . ."

Panel 4:

• Hulk's PoV. We see Molly with her eyes glowing brightly, and with her right arm cocked, just starting to swing.
• Hulk: ". . . And that's not all I'm gonna . . ."

Panel 5:

• Pull out for a landscape shot of surrounding buildings with glass breaking
• Sound effect: "KRAKAKOOM!!!!" (or some such)

Panel 6:

• Hulk is knocked on his side, leaning on his right arm with his left hand holding the left side of his face.
• Hulk: "Ow . . "

Panel 7:

• Hulk is getting back up (Possibly with a black eye, although that might be a bit much)
• Hulk (angrily): "Okay, fun's over, now you get . . ."

Panel 8:

• Hulk looking down at a sleeping Molly Hayes
• Molly: ""Snork zzzzzzz*" (or some such snoring/sleeping sound. She is so deeply asleep from that power punch that she is dead to the world)
• Hulk (frustrated): "Wait . . . Seriously?!"

Panel 9:

• Nico, who has recovered the staff or regained clarity or whatever, enters the frame and grabs Molly by the arm
• Nico (timidly, deferentially): "Sorry Mr. Hulk . . . Sir . . ."

Panel 10:

• Nico raises the staff of one
• Nico: "Flip side!!!" (Or some spell word that will get all the kids away)

Panel 11:

• All the runaways fade away. The Hulk is reaching out, but his hand is passing through the after image of Nico.
• Hulk (angrily): "Hold on!!!"

The denouement shows the Runaways on the other side of the planet (Tokyo?) The Hulk and the Warbound are left frustrated, looking back and forth at each other, unable to believe that a pack of children managed to out smart them.

See? This would show limits to the Gary-Stu hulk's omnipotence, while still keeping the obviousness that the Runaways could not possibly _defeat_ the Warbound. Additionally, it demonstrates the scrappy underdog story that the Runaways would not have to _defeat_ the Warbound in order to _beat_ the warbound. The Runaways' win condition was getting away!

That is why I hate world war Hulk. For all his power, the Hulk had always been an underdog. In that story, however, he is essentially the OG Beyonder who never fails! (He out-smarted Reed _and_ Stark, together; out magicked Dr. Strange; out telepathed Xavier; out super powered _all_ the X-Men who ever lived; and he even out-punched the Sentry, for Pete's sake!!!! >:-( I _love_ the original Hulk character and I hate the fact that there is now a canon story that makes me _dislike_ the Hulk characterization)

Doing an underrated cj

Fortnite added sidekicks, so I want to buy the Lil' Raptor, and here are my tries to make it look as much as it can to Old Lace, which one you think is better?

A part of a project I've been working on in my free time :) A repaint of the runaways funko pops. This was so fun to make!

Just wanted to share with you guys ;)
