Disney Super-Heroes -- Don Karnage

There once was an online role-playing site where Disney characters were played as super-heroes and villains. Although Fantasmic Dreams is no more, I thought that the characters I'd created, along with some who never saw the light of day, should be preserved for posterity. Here is that Scourge of the Skies, Don Karnage:

Ice Pirate

Civilian Identity: Don Esteban Rodolfo Raoul Karnage

Age: Thirty-something

Species: Anthropomorphic Wolf

Sex: Male

Nationality: Italian

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Group Affiliation: Leader of a band of air pirates

Appearance: Ice Pirate dresses in a swashbuckling style. His captain's uniform sports a double row of bright brass buttons, epaulets, and a snazzy red sash, all details that make him feel important. When using his ice powers, Karnage's skin and fur turn bright blue.

Abilities and Powers: Ice Pirate can fire blasts from his hands that can freeze a man solid. He can use his power to make simple ice objects, such as a wall or an ice-ball, and he can fire small icicles at his opponents. Plus, he is immune to cold and absolutely sure-footed on ice or snow.

Karnage is also an able pilot and swordsman.

Weaknesses: Heat and fire nullify his powers. And he's not as smart as he thinks he is.

Accessories: Ice Pirate always carries a cutlass, and sometimes a pistol.

Secret Origin: As told by my magnificent self, Don Karnage

Once upon a long time ago, one of the finest families in Europe achieved their finest moment: I was born.

I was a beautiful little baby and a child prodigy, who grew up to be a brilliant and handsome young man. Everybody who knew him loved him. And even those who did not know him loved him, for they wished that they could know him and love him even more so. Anyway...

When this magnificent fellow finally after such a long time of many years waiting and waiting finally inherited the family estate and title (what did you think, that 'Don' is short for 'Donald?'), he found that the money is almost all gone away! Wasted by his parents on their own foolish wishes and desires!

The silly lawyer-type persons said to live simply and stop spending so much. But a man must have the necessities of life, like caviar and silk shirts and private airplanes.

So, what is a fellow to do? He finds a way to get the things he needs. If he is the world's greatest pilot and swordsman, then he becomes an air pirate.

That is just what he did! And the Dread Pirate Don Karnage became the Scourge of the Skies, gathering a band of fearsome pirates to--what do you mean, "Hurry it up?" All right, all right! Do not get your silly knickers all twisted up in a tangle!

Skipping over the very exciting story of my early years of plundering, we come to the day the big rock from outer space came crashing down--boom!--outside of Cape Suzette. Thinking it might be valuable, of course I led my crew to the spot.

Oh, yes, this was a very, very valuable glowing rock. It gave me super-duper powers! And my cutthroat crew as well. Now, Don Karnage is Ice Pirate, the even more terrifying Scourge of the Skies, who, with his band of super-powered pirates strikes frozen fear into the frightened hearts of the fearful--what? Running out of space?

All right, all right, andheplunderedhappilyeverafter. The end.
