I usually post in VSF but Victorian Superheroes caught my eye. This is Captain Crimson, spoiled aristocrat by day crime fighting vigilante by night. It's probably easier to be a caped crusader in a time period when people actually wore capes. I've included a photo of the Captain in hot pursuit of his nemesis Baron Terra. The Captain is from Ironclad Miniatures and the Baron is from Warmachine.

My second candidate for a Victorian Superhero is the Jade Man. The Martian invasion brought more than Tripods and death rays. J'onn J'onnz stowed away on Martian Cylinders that came to Earth to escape the devastation wrought on his people by the Cephalopods. Adopting Earth as his home J'onn uses his powers to protect the Earthlings, often from the misuse of the Martian technology left over from the War. Included is a photo of the Jade Man in combat with Prof. Payne's Steam Behemoth. The Jade Man is a Shadowrun vampire from Grenadier Miniatures. The figure has been sitting in my lead pile since the 90s. The Behemoth is a MageKnight lightening Golem.

A Ghost Rider riding a steam powered Penny Farthing with flaming wheels?

This one sounds interesting!

Lovely brushmanship as always Dan, but what is this worrying fetish you have with bases? Each one taller and more mighty than the last!

I had a similar idea- and I never did manage to find that many figures, but I thought that these Bushwackers made great thugs and henchmen!

I only just read this thread but rude word me! those are very useful figures.

This thread inspires me to work on an SS4 Victorian supplement!  A dedicated line of Victorian supers would also be very cool!
