where I draw a new character from the Marvel Handbook every day (whenever I can)
As I finished this one I realized that the pose is almost the same as the one in the Marvel Handbook entry. The two drawings are different enough, however, that I'm going to leave this one as is. Besides, I think world conqueror characters don't offer many more options than "clenched fist and glaring."
Easily one of my favourite characters. A thought that occurred to me while drawing this: Nightcrawler and Corsair should've been great friends - given that Nightcrawler is a big Errol Flynn fan and Corsair is Captain Blood in space - but I don't remember them ever interacting. I wonder why that never occurred to the writers.
This guy is, for my money, hands down one of the ugliest comic characters ever, if not the ugliest. Look at him: he's got that craggy face, the blackened eyes, picket fence teeth, and some kind of weird skin condition that gives him stripes on his face. It makes sense that he's so mad at the world.
