	Now that I've posted the write-up for Justice Force's first encounter with the Zodiac, I'll give you the Zodiac characters my brother made up (all but the various Crushers that joined that organization).

	First up is Aquarius, the former Stormlord. In our campaign, he has since (many years later) left the Zodiac to become a solo villain (with his own henchmen, the Belle Weathers), his name changed again to Dr. Squallus.

	I think the last version of Aries was the first one that showed up in the campaign (and I'm sure many of you will recognize where the image came from), but he was soon replaced by this guy, who took over the mantle soon after.

	Cancer is an alien. Years later, when I took the Guardians into space (in the Dawn of the Devil module), I had them fight a bunch of aliens from Cancer's race (though the battle turned out to be all an illusion).

	Leo (I always thought Leo from Most Wanted 1 would make a good replacement if this guy ever quit, retired, or was killed)...

	And lastly, Virgo. There's only eleven, because I already posted Scorpio over in the Justice Force summaries (he was a PC who betrayed his teammates and went over to the Zodiac).

	I didn't do markers for the Zodiac until later, and I only made some for some of them, but I was pretty happy with how they turned out. I love the art for the Zodiac module (Champions), but this one was a rare case of where I like my own art better than shrunk down photocopies of the originals. It's probably because the original work is in color, and when you photocopy it to black and white, then shrink it down and recolor it, it looses a lot of it's vibrancy. So all of these are my re-renderings, with the exception of the alternate (bigger) Aries.

	Here's an example of some members of Cancer's race that I used years down the road. I'm showing them now because I think they're an excellent example of this method I now use - one original inked in black and white - that I can then photocopy and color with variety if needed. So it was really simple to make a couple dozen of these aliens; just had to color some different versions.

	Fron the artwork, it looks like you were a Micronauts fan.

I merely did the markers based on the characters he introduced. I think the Acroyer and Baron Karza look pretty cool, but I'm thinking of having Capricorn go back to the look given in the Champions original adventure. Aries changed from the Acroyer look to the other version quite awhile ago; for him I'm thinking of taking him back to the Acroyer look. Not really decided yet.
