(Notice: I didn't use the red cape from a part picker. I made this cape from scratch, although it is inspired by that cape partially.)

Also note, I put a whole three seconds of backbreaking work into this skin just now to fix the bottom of the head to match the new previewer! I need more respect around here for my impossibly hard work, you should try a day in MY shoes!

Thanks for helping me become a finalist, everyone! I really appreciate every single diamond!

He everyone! I was thinking of what to make for the contest, but out of ideas. After a while I thought, "Why not make OpMan, the superhero who protects the server?" I made it, but before I shaded it I began to dislike the idea. I then thought that I should make a more original, sincere entry. So here he is! I actually made the skin before the story, and wrote his biography around the skin. I really like how the skin turned out (And I did finish OpMeg after all).

Without further ado, here's his backstory! (A tl;dr is at the bottom)



Mirk Denron was your regular man. He had a job, a family, a nice house. He would have continued this regular life, if he would have kept his job as an engineer working for bio-mechanics. One day, he received a letter working for "Embertech Industries" as an advanced engineer for their own bio-mechanics, for more than double the pay of his current job. He quit his job and visited the facility for an interview. When he arrived, the entire building was dark. The door slammed shut behind him. Suddenly, something whipped out of the darkness, knocking out Mirk cold.... Or as we should say, hot....

The next thing Mirk knew was being strapped to a table in a laboratory. With two robotic fists where his hands used to be, and blood all over the table, he realized what had happened. He fell into a trap! He was now a test subject for an unknown personnel!

"Alright," a voice over a loudspeaker said, as the bindings on his arms lifted, "Head through the door to your right, Mister Denron." A fluorescent light buzzed to life, and the door was illuminated. He did as he was told. "Now, use your... 'hands', and try melting through this sheet of ice." To his shock, he was able to make his new bio-mechanical hands catch fire by clutching his fists! He turned towards the thick steel wall, and dove his fists into it with all his might. Sirens went off, red lights flashing! A spectacular shower of sparks and flames came from his fists meeting contact with the wall! Soon, as armed guards were arriving, he broke through the entire 12 inches of steel. He made a run for it, trying to get home.

After days of searching, he finally found his location and managed to get home. He kept his hands hidden, though. To his shock, his home was aflame, his family murdered! Finally, he snapped. He lit his hands on fire, deciding to use his newly acquired ability for two things... Revenge, and evil. He then dawned a new outfit and took to the streets.

TL;DR: A man who was captured, got fiery robot hands, turned evil.

I appreciate all of the above, they help me get in the top 100! (Especially diamonds)

Added note: Again, support is greatly, greatly appreciated. Without motivation, I have no reason to make any more skins. You guys are awesome and really helped get my hopes up with my Steve skin, which led me to make this. I wasn't even planning on being in the contest. Thank you all! Please, help support this skin by doing the things listed above as well, you have no idea how much it means to me!

Well-written backstory, and kick-ass skin, too. Kudos for actually making your own cloak - most people just cut corners and take the part-picker cloak you mentioned :)
Furthermore, congratulations on making it to the top 100, fellow finalist!
