Well Grimmnar, I didn't want to hack someone else's thread, but in the interest of showing how much you can do with Herroclix..
The All-Southern Squadron was made with simple repaints to turn Wonder Woman into Whistling Dixie, and (can't remeber hos name) into Johnny Reb, The Gray Ghost is just a Dracula's America undead rebel and Texas Twister is made from parts of Red Tornado and Vigilante miniature.
Thing got a repaint to become Mag-Man. Toad got a clown costume repaint to be the Prankster and a bit of green stuff made Juggernaut into Triceratops.
Next, a little greenstuff made a Shield armor trooper into Snapper wearing his Combat Ready Armored Battlesuit) and a glob or said greenstuff made Doc Oc into MANtis
Finally, I took a Dixon samurai body and used the bottom and arms from Hydro Man to make the golden age supervillain Tsunami and another member of his team Oni, is just a repaint of Abomination.
I have hundreds of repaints to make my own heroes and villains using mostly Heroclix.
