Issue 26

The Fall of the UltraLine Team!

Back in issue # 7 I introduced that fact that my universe had alternate Earths, certainly not a new notion in comics by any means.  In that issue I had a team of villains that had taken over Earth 3, totally forgetting about DC's Crime Syndicate being on their Earth 3.  Not wanting to think there was an influence, I actually changed the villains to being on Earth 2.  

In this story we learn about the team before the 'day of darkness', a happier time on that Earth where Titan was given his powers by an elder, one-armed god named Diodarius.  One day, Titan snapped and he killed the G'Ion of his world and absorbed his powers. He then killed the Diodarius of that world and absorbed his powers.  

This led to a fracture within the team - some sided with Titan, others realized that he turned evil and wanted to stop him.  This leads to a major battle and several members are killed and two, Mindbender and GeoMancer escape.  

Having called themselves the UltraLine time, as they drew the line against evil, those loyal to Tian changed the name of their team to the Terminators of Evil.   Here is the cover to the issue:

This cover was done using a special effect photo editing ap.  

The nature of this issue is very dark, not like the rest of the issues I've written - there is no humor, there is no happiness to this issue.    There is a reason why the people of this world call it the "day of darkness".

Here is the original artwork for the cover, before the special effect was added:

Here is an alternate I considered, but didn't use for the cover:

In the back up story, Titan and Phantom find themselves on Alternate Earth 6 where the Ultra-Elite Team operates out of Australia.  Here's who makes up that team:
