Description

I doodled a bit one day, and today I decided, well, I haven't uploaded anything in a while. Might as well just colour it in and upload it here.

The general idea of this character is based on what people tend to say about Spider-Man, that the people he loves always tend to turn into villains or die tragically, meaning that being Spider-Man damages Peter Parker personally for the sake of the people he DOESN'T know.

I went with that thought and said "what if there's a character that is literally CURSED for that to happen?"

So the idea is, this guy is cursed to witness everyone he loves to turn into a monster. A monster that can not be reasoned with, the only way to stop them is to kill them.

(Un)fortunately, this curse also Deus Ex Machinas him to get a power SPECIFICALLY to defeat said monster. In this case, due to the monster having turned into some kind of Poison Ivy-esque controller of plants, he gets the power of fire.

It's a deconstruction on the superhero tropes in that it's never the question about whether the hero CAN beat the villain, because he definitely can, but about him trying to avoid having to fight to begin with, because as I stated, whoever he loves is cursed to turn into a monster. that he is forced to kill.

So instead of killing all the monsters, unless he REALLY has to, he instead tries to avoid loving other people so they won't be cursed. He wanders around the world, trying to stay away from human contact, because even the smallest hint of love can turn that other person into a monster.

Thus, why I dubbed him, Untouchable.
