Today, I'm redesigning my old childhood superheroes from the Bullet-Boy universe by giving them new suits, origin stories and a role on the Hero Assembly Team! By watching me fix my superheroes, maybe you can learn how to make one yourself!

I pulled an all nighter to edit this video, and I think it was worth it! I’m gonna go lay down…enjoy! 😴
Such a great video
Well deserved
And it is awesome. Thank you ❤ new subscriber here
hope you don't go into metamorphosis while you're asleep, I'm looking forward to more of these videos
awesome team so far, though it feels mostly mid-ranged and close-ranged are their focus, I think a set of elemental twins could work well, with Water and Earth being their elements, both great for defence and offence and can work well in rescue operations and disaster prevention
hero x, especially in his initial design really resembles a certain x-wielding character from teen titans. the redesign remedied that, but yes a red x-inspired wolverine mix is a really dope idea!
I thought so too! Thanks
Red X
His initial design kinda reminds me of Jason Todd
I love Hero X
His old design reminds me of Robin buy yah cool design
I think everyone can agree that this needs a part 2. Also, any advice on making heroes?
It's a case by case basis, but there is a process you can follow. I should make a video about that!
Yeah, you should. I want to make a hero but don’t have the steeps/know how to do it
Yes part two
Stan Lee created Spider-man out of a single thought. The idea of a hero that could climb on a wall. Think about what abilities your hero might have, focus on it, and the rest will come naturally. The origin, the character conflicts, and eventually their overall personality. When I was 12 I made a superhero who could build robots. Thought the idea of a technology based hero was awesome. Developed him more and more over the years, plotting out his abilities, his character conflicts, his drive, his friends, his home life, and his nemesis. Years later, he’s a fully fledged character with an epic story of how an underpaid engineer saved the world from a horde of mystical undead skeletons.

I actually have my own team called the Metaforce. Derived from the word metahuman used in DC comics to describe superhuman individuals. This team consists of 4 members at the moment. Valence who possesses flight, energy projection, and bio-electric aura vision, Jade Phantom, a Batman-esque Billionaire vigilante who acts as team mentor, Mystifyer who is decended from a race called the mystics who's powers are rooted in science so advanced it appears to be magic, and finally Blitz the blue, female speedster. I also have a Tokusatsu inspired character named Radiant Rose, but that's a different universe in that multiverse.
Sounds sick
@@thatonkgau5221 Thanks!😁
Just happened upon your channel, and I'm quite happy that there is someone else who is making their own superhero based world on here, haven't found many others from my experience. I personally haven't had the motivation lately after some personal stuff that's been happening. But, I think I can say pretty confidently that you have given me a surge of motivation, thank you kind sir, and best of luck on your journey with your stories, consider me impressed and extremely interested in what you have in store for the future
Thank you for your kind words. Doing my best to inspire others to tell their stories - more to come! 🔥
@@XanderFlickshi!
Same! Soon I want to be a comic creator when I get older! Thank you for inspiring me and my friend to create awesome superheroes just like you!
I have to admit as an artist, myself and creator of my own comic book characters. I was very impressed with this video, which I stumbled upon. I will admit that the video was absolutely incredible and I really enjoyed the redesigns of your old superheroes, especially The Hero X design, which does have some Ben 10 hero elements to. The lore of this video was spectacular and hearing the background of these three superheroes was very interesting. So I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting this video and I would also like to say that you are a very talented artist too.
That means a lot, Phillip. Thank you!
It's so nice to see this! I love seeing the process and the new origin stories! Great job on these new heroes
yeah your right
More to come! Thanks so much 🙌
I'd love to see a part two to this. Hero X was particularly cool to me because he had a really cool design and backstory. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Justin!
He's my favourite character
Ben 10 + hulk
I always love it when Xander uploads a new vid there always entertaining and a good watch it’s shame that it feels they go shorter than they are. But really like the new hero x design and his whole beast form really cool.
The art takes the most time probably, but I'd like to find a way to make more of these faster. Thanks for watchin them when they come out!
These character designs and backstories are really good.
PLEASE MAKE THESE REAL COMICS!!! Id totally read them! I’m working on designing some superhero characters and seeing you do it as well inspires me.
Same
really like the vibes of your superheroes! they remind me of cartoons like ben 10 and generally 2000's action cartoons which i find really cool!
the greatest compliment! thank you
@@XanderFlicks you're welcome! really excited to see more of your heroes! do you have any superman analogue that you could delve into next time? it'd be really cool!
If this was a movie studio, I would watch every movie.
Appreciated!
same
I think it would be interesting if Marcus was the crimson cardinal maybe he was effected by the tech before he seemly died 🤷♂️ would give Brittny and Damon another similarity of not knowing their siblings are also hero’s, maybe the Crimson cardinal isn’t in the hero assembly in your new reversion and instead does his own thing and befriends bullet boy.
I constantly think up superhero concepts for several universes and like drawing costumes for them so you can get why I like this guy
Meet…Slime Guy! A superhero with the ability to shapeshift into anything, and be invincible to attacks for a short period of time! Nolan Conners was a regular high schooler who got bullied constantly. But one day, his science teacher present a a project. Noah, being really smart, runs some tests on the syrum he got, and eventually sticks his hand into the syrum after a few tests. This causes his body to change, and be able to morph into anything! And so, he decides to make his own suit out of spandex, and call himself “Slime Guy”. The main colors in his suit are purple and white, with a bit of green in the design too. When I get drawing equipment I’ll make sure to make him! I never expected my comment to start this whole thing where everyone talks about their own superhero. Thanks for replying Xander, couldn’t have done it without you! :)
Britney mckeen aka whipstar's powers and color schemes are great and its great to see her origin story and her character design is really incredible too and overall all your videos are great!!
It’s 3:11 am rn and I’m genuinely invested in these videos
Not really a hero team, but more like an alien race I thought of. The aliens are called Geomatians, with bodies made up of mis-matched shapes, with the ability to duplicate themselves whenever one of their shapes are knocked off, or pulled off with the discarded shape eventually forming into a new Gomatrian. Another power they posess is being able to turn any part of their body into a different type of shape (Mainly for defence and combat reasons.) with an example being them turning their arms into triangles to act as blades, or circles to act as shields. They may seem a little bit over-powered, but they do have a weakness. Their weakness being that if too much pressure is put on their bodies they fall apart and are un-able to reform or duplicate for a long period of time. I 'm a really big fan of your channel and would be happy if you add my idea to your comic series.
Loved everything about this, the costume designs and even more the origin stories. Damon Defalco is my favourite character and member of the hero assembly. Could you do more stories with these characters because I find them incredibly fascinating and like to know where there stories go.
I would love to! Eventually, I would like to animate entire scenes.
So the Device gives Damon the power to shapeshift into a wide variety of creatures. What kind of creatures can he turn into.
Bro is a modern day Ditko, absolute legend
I am 11 and I have always been wanting to make my own heroes and stories, I have been occupying my time with programming but as soon as I saw this video It made me want to go back to try and make my own heroes and storyline.
A hero that his power is just in a pinch making the other hero’s powers amplified for example allowing bullet boy to just take a step and go like 3 miles. And another with something to do with steel or metal.
I really wanna see the full hero assembally and i wanna see bullet boy rebooted as a comic!
Lol for insects personality I could definitely see her being more of the quiet type when not involved in missions in some way, just kinda roaming around the base and probably accidentally sneaking up on people and startling them XD
exactly!!
@@XanderFlicks I'm glad that's what you were thinking too, she just strikes me as the type who's just kinda always lurking around, you never know where's she's gonna appear next, especially with that camouflage ability. If there's ever a story line that involves like a fake hero infiltrated the team she'd definitely be the first to find out because she was just lurking somewhere near by while the fake hero was monologuing to themselves or talking to someone else about the plan
Bravo! I have 2 superhero teams which grow into a small army so to speak. One is like the Teen Titans and the other is like the Avengers. Specifically like the Avengers because the Avengers used to be against teenage superhero teams and even tried to stop the Young Avengers so my adult hero team at first tries to get rid of my teenage superhero team before they eventually reconcile and operate independently of each other but work together when necessary
I think you should make and sell comic books with these characters
Love this story you make most shows have change and i don't really like this change yours gives the good old day's story simple and entertaining keep it up I have also made my own characters 3 heros 3 villain's balance as all should be 😂 Still need to make the story though. 'could be that you are saved and you are the one who bakes believes' said Soulless the weapon.
I love seeing other people redoing their old OC Super Heroes, as I do the same with mine's from time to time. Please, do a part 2
We need an animated show of this. Who agrees
I would love that.
Absolutely NEED to see more Hero X transformations
I could see some different forms appearing depending on Hero X's emotional states, like a blue slime-like creature for sadness and a purple-winged creature for Fear
You should make a Bullet Boy animated series!
I'd love to see how Whip-Star finds out her brother is Bullet-Boy.
You really are talented designing all these superheros and their origin stories !! Their powers are great and their character design, color themes , everything is just too good !! Waiting for another part on this and i really love the design and color scheme and mixing of Luna Martinez aka insect!!
I'm working on a superhero universe, had an idea for a hero,(also has super speed but it is technically a different power disguised) for a while before I stumbled upon your channel with a super hero who also has super speed, you inspired me to start making a super hero universe
I have a team that I call, The Ever-Guard. Lead by Admiral Atlas and his close friend, Madame Miracle, the team consists of Crimson Crow, Photon John, Run-Down, Loch Lord, and Mr. Dynamite and his sidekick, Bomber Boy.
Please do more videos, cause I find your content novel and awesome, plus your heroes and villains take me back to the old superhero cartoon I watched as a kid. Take care and have a great day
I work hard to make these videos unique. And yes, I'm very inspired by early cartoons!
@@XanderFlicks And it really does show, great job ⭐
damn brother, wish i had your talent! im working on art rn and this is almost excactly what im doing, love your characters, good luck!
keep at it! and thanks for watching 🙌
We really need to see more of the Hero Assembly being redesigned.
I wonder what other forms Hero X has? I can imagine his sorrow based on Ice, since they already have a water user in the form of Aqua Ray. It also plays into how he doesn't want to feel vulnerable so it's a quiet type of sadness.
Hi Xander, working on a hero called Instinct, his powers are: Slowing down time, and he has a danger sense. His mains weapons are: Dual Katanas, and dual pistols.
I'm also working on a childhood superhero universe turned modern webcomic. Great work, I love what you have going on!
He deserves to get his work in marvel
It makes sense that the team left luna in the cocoon because for example caterpillars they completely break down like turn into liquid and than re assemble into a butterfly so if they had broken her out it would’ve been bad
Oof, I didn't think of that. Good point!
This reminds me of my own made up super hero team. One called Wire-Shock the face of the team, Martial Magition the plan maker, Neon the strength, Blob boy the one not on the team, and Water Shockr the strength.
I really liked Insect the most as she was an interesting character who proved herself worthy ln the team. I'm a bit of a mediocre artist myself, but I am trying to get better at my art. I've designed a character who is like an anti-hero and anti-villain at the same time. They question themselves on what they would rather be. In the world i created for them, their dream is to become a warrior for the mutant based power species as mutants are often treated very badly and like property to those with evil in their hearts. My character wants the mutants to be free and will attack cargo shipments containing imprisoned mutants. They are very brutal with the battles though, which is why they have a pretty high bounty on their head for the brutal attacks on mutant transporters. If anyone wants, I'd be happy to post more about this character and along with others I've designed for this world. But other than that, what does everyone think?
I really love your artstyle. It kinda reminds me of both the Justice League Unlimited-show, as well as Avengers: Earth's mightiest heroes. I also really like the colors.
a huge compliment! thank you 🙌
Whipstar: Damon, you can't let your emotions get the best of you, it won't make it better, cmon put the Hero, in Hero X'. Hero X: Listen Brittany, Josh gets on my nerves too. Alot. But you gotta give him a chance, at the end of the day, no one's better than a brother. Insect: Alright If I just hack into the next tech servers I can just, Oh. Did you guys uh want any of this (GIANT MESS OF FOOD) I'm fine guys, I'm just not hungry this time...Alright, fine, lemme just triangulate this-THING (blah blah blah technobabble)...Hey guys, I got a new look (wearing the Insect suit)
Seeing this makes me wanna reboot my superhero series, albeit overlayed into my most current universe.
I noticed something. Although your team has a heavy hitter, a leader and a tactician, they are missing someone specialised in ranged support. Someone like my own OC: Arcana. A failing street magician, Draco Flare relied on the kindness of strangers to get by. So, when a mysterious old lady gave him a necklace and said it brought good luck, he believed her. He NEVER took the necklace off. Then one day, he was attacked by a group of thugs. One of the thugs hit him in the middle of the chest, right where his necklace was. This triggered the necklace's second function, forming a high-tech black and gold suit from nanomachines around his body. The suit granted Draco the ability to fire energy-based attacks from his hands as well as fly from jets in his boots, as well as doubling his natural strength. He easily used his new powers to best the thugs. It was in that moment he decided to give back to the strangers he had relied on, calling himself Arcana.
My superhero team is a duo one is a human with super speed with super intelegence and his pet basically with super strength they fight multiversal threats and sometimes(most of the time) destroy creation itself but undo it by time travel or some wierd bizarre way
This is so amazing! Whipstar is my favorite, I think. This inspired me to redraw some characters I created. I might try when I have the time.
Fantastic! Sure hope to see a Part 2 if you can!
This was such a good video and the designs were amazing! Keep it up, I really want more content on this superhero universe!
AMAZING ART I LOVE IT
Please,continue with these bullet boy videos
I love each characters especially Hero X! I would also like to see his other emotion transformations!
This vid really gave me some ideas to develop my own characters and super hero team so I will now introduce you to them. Rath (yes I know Rath from, Ben 10 but I forgot he existed) anyways he is my teams leader and second strongest member. His origin is that he used to be a judge and executioner. He always found gang leaders and killed them because the law demanded for demons to be killed or else. He made a reputation before he was killed by one gang. But instead of dying he was summoned by the death god Markiluth. With this rebirth he went out to go kill his murders and take revenge on every gang. His powers are supper strength, void and darkness powers, a go nit which can burn an anything, super speed and durability, and claws that can cut through anything. My second hero is exo or John Mathew’s, John Mathew’s is a billionaire with the eye to become one superhero he is the only one that agrees with vigilantes. The reason he is one secretly he uses a exp suit and fights for the greater good and the government contacted him and basically told him to work on cyborgs and all AI. His powers are super strength, speed and durability, the ability to repair his mech, plasma and energy abilities. My third hero is sea blast, Sea blast is a young man who worked at a hydro plant and was the top engineer there but one day he was struck by lighting and fell into a water turbine and was fused with the water he woke up and found he was stuck under the metal. He crawled his way out realizing he is a superhero and immediately went home to test his abilities. His abilities are water manipulation and all the other water ability’s but also he has storm and lighting powers. My final hero is Cosomoray she is the brother to sea blast and they are twins her job was working at a nuclear power plant she was new but immediately grew in the industry until the plant started to break and soon she was hit by a blast of radiation. But instead of dying she lived through it and got powers from it. Her powers are radiation and cosmic abilities she has super peed and the ability to fly. That is all my hero’s except for Thrax my main character but in my comic he has not joined yet but I have written about him before. Anyways Thrax is my muscle and strongest member followed my Rath the team leader. Cosmoray is my main ability to fly and is the smartest amongst them. Sea blast is the heart and morally right member keeping everyone else in check. Finally exo is my battle strategist and is the main reason this team started alongside Rath. Hope you enjoy this Xander and thank you again for making these vids .
Oh My God! I keep coming back to watch this amazing video!😄❤️ By the way, I created my own superhero called Necro, he is able to communicate with the dead and use ghosts to his advantage. If he dies he is able to come back by choice. An Idea that I had was that you could design other people’s superhero’s and give them a cool backstory, if so could please do mine!! I love the content so much and definitely coming back for part 2!!😆
Hero X's design is my personal favorite
I’ve created a few superhero teams of my own characters in the past and I’m really trying to work on it now. Videos like this help inspire me to keep going. Also my favorite hero in this video has to be Insect, mostly because I have a love of insect superheroes after growing up with heroes like spider-man
Love these! I'm working on a character rn called "The Human Target" (who i only recently learned shares a name with an already existing DC hero, annoyingly) who has the power of bullet magnetism - any bullets fired in his area will automatically hit him, even if fired in the opposite direction, making him the perfect bodyguard. He is also bulletproof too, but getting shot is still painful to him, although not deadly. He used to work as a bodyguard for the mafia, but after a betrayal from his boss and a series of hardships across three nights, he turned his life around and became an amateur hero.
I do have a Superhero Team well, kinda. It consists of a Space Demon, a Kid who can Shapeshift into different animals, a Sapient Dinosaur, a Black and White Detective, a Robocop-like guy, a Hero that’s a mix of Superman Ant-Man and a bit of Hulk. Finally there’s a 13 year old boy who can summon anything with his mind.
Russia 1993: Alexi Saritov is 13 years old, he’s been led here by his father, who was a high ranking Soviet general, until the 1991 coup de tat where he was stripped of his rank and was forced to flee to Siberia taking his family with him. His mother spent her life raising Alexi whilst her husband handled income for their family, even though he did not share her affection, she loved her husband, so Alexi and his father rarely fought since Alexi wanted to see his mother happy. Now Alexi sits in a hospital bed when his father and a scientist. Alexi’s father sits next to him and says to him “are you ready to serve mother Russia son?” Alexi stares confused. Just then he is injected in his neck, the scientist watches as he writhes and falls to the ground. His arms shift as he turns metallic. Alexi watches as his hand changed shape from tools to guns and blades, he turns his focus on to his father and the scientist, awe turns into horror as they watch him surge towards them, his hands shift into blades. The scientist rushes the door slamming it behind him and Alexi’s father now stands face to face with his son a monster he made. Alexi he wants to destroy everything he loves, destroying equipment Soviet memorabilia and weapons only stopping at his mother. “Alexi?” His mother says, “what have they done to my boy?” Alexi slowly returns to flesh as he embraces his mother the fire burning around them. Alexi’s father walks toward the two drawing a gun and prepares to fire, he shoots once and kills his wife, Alexi screams and turns the trigger is pulled a second time but Alexi doesn’t die the bullet is absorbed and shot out right back back to his father killing him instantly. Sickle is born from the blood of his mother that his father spilled.
Aye bullet boy is one bad ass name tho. And that’s at the top of the list of things to get right for your super hero
This is great stuff. You are inspiring to my son. He can't wait to read Bullet Boy.
I’ve made like 3 hero universes that all have very fun and unique heroes I love these kinds of videos they inspire so much ❤
You are an immense help for me trying to create my own superhero universe for a novel series as well as creating supervillains. Thank you bro!
It would be fitting if the robot caretaker is a nextech robot like shocka, and as such, maybe shocka and them are thus technically siblings, and through their relationship with them, they understand shocka better, however, this causes problems for the hero assembly due to him trying to talk shocka down for a good chunk, only making things worse.
Dude I need to thank you because you inspired me to make my own hero comics
That's my goal! Have fun working on your universe
Nice art man and thank you for expiring me to make my comic book
I have A team… don’t know if I should make them hero or villain. They’re just people made of different shapes. One is made of Triangles, another Octagons, one is Rumbuses, another Pentagons, and lastly one is Trapezoids. They got stuck in their new bodies after an accident that cause beings made of shapes pop up.
You should release comics based on all these heroes
I love your channel! ❤
I love your work Xander because of your work inspired me to create my own superhero universe
Woo hoo! Best of luck to ya!
I have a superVILLAIN team, actually Database: The team’s leader. He can scan any being with powers, and use his adaptive body to replicate it. He stores each power in his database for later use Steamroller: He made an exosuit with longer arms storing a very powerful weapon. A giant roller, used for smashing, and flattening. He’s the second in command Gallium: The first test subject from Experimental Element Labs. Due to his entire body being made of gallium, he can mold himself to his stone cold heart’s content. Since metals conduct electricity, I gave him electrokinesis Symbol: Gallium’s partner in crime. She came from an abusive household, and through volunteering for experimental testing, she gained a symbol that she could manipulate into anything. A sword, claws, you name it. It does have a size limit, though. Mindbender: Another smart person, just like Steamroller. She believes she’s better than those who aren’t smart like her, and wants them to worship her. Naturally, she used her intellect to make various machines that cause effects in the mind, including but not limited to: hallucinations, mind control, emotional manipulation, etc. She is both the least, and most powerful member Monster: Radioactivity did a number on this normal man. He believes he shouldn’t exist, and is often blinded by rage, and hatred for everything, including himself. Unlike most monster characters, he’s still capable of complex thought
Nice bro, got me back into drawing
Bullet Boy and Cameraman Crossover when?
Ur old design with the man insect in the cloak was soooo much better than the new one
Luna might be the most interesting idea out of the bunch.
The background story is perfect!
Please, animate this as a full-on TV show, I would pay to watch it
love the redraws!😍
Thanks!!
Brilliant! Good job!
Hey Xander just want to say thank u, you have me courge to rebot my own superhero universe redesign and rewrite the story thank u
REDESIGNING MY OLD VILLAINS PART 2 PLSS
XanderFlicks, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!
I love the comic videos most as the way he tells the story is awesome and just overall intense and interesting I just have a request if you could ever make a video showing us how to draw like you that would be awesome because I wanna make my comic but I am a terrible drawer
Ngl the design,looks pretty cool! :D
Love the heroes and origins you've created and managed to update for them, Hero X and INSECT look spectacular IMO i get a hint of ben 10 in her design too with Big Chill but its still entirely your own. PLUS YOUR ARTSYLE IS FREAKING SIIIIIIIICK.
Yo you are so good making superhero origins and designs JUST WOW😂
I still remember creating a character called Green Alien. He was heavily inspired by Superman by his origin, but his character design is based on sketcher ads haha. His home was destroyed and he was sent to earth with the appearance of a human, and later adopted by a human couple who raised him. Soon his powers are awoken at the age of 16 but it has no clue where they come from. His powers reveal his real identity which is the look of a green alien, he can fly around, shoot plasma from his arms, and can absorb energy to be more powerful. He fights other Aliens one is a lizard guy who reveals to him the last of his species(which in later issues he learns what kills his species). You inspired me to redraw these characters and expand upon them!
I have a homemade superhero team called the invinci-bros with members like paper mummy, eternal man, energyte etc
You're artwork is great! Reminds me of the style of the DCAU. And I know you said that the Assembly see Bullet Boy as a menace. But what if, Insect is the only member who sees Bullet Boy's potential. And although we don't know what happened in that comic strip you redesigned with Whipstar lecturing Bullet Boy and telling him to stay out of their way, maybe Insect at least gives him a thank you for his help.
XanderFlicks, I enjoyed this video; and it was worth making. Quick question: is there a supervillian team in the Bullet-Boy universe?
There is! Well, I wouldn't say it is formalized. I'd need to make more villains honestly, but most of them are Bullet-Boy villains right now!
Cool, thank you for answering my question.
I had a full hierarchy of my own superhero universe. From the first existent (True God), multiversal entities, universal entities, galaxy level beings to planetary level races and so on lesser level. It's just that I don't know how to draw, I only write their names, origins and abilities/powers. Also had my trinity characters 1. Agent Speed/Alex Hero - super speed and force field so he won't burn when running fast. (Gains power from X-serum; they were called "Human X") 2. Gladiator Gal/Galia (other planet) - equipped 2 understructable swords, warrior, also good at combatant, super strong (inspired by wonder woman) 3. Elemental King/King Michael Mambabue - controls elements (King of the Earth's hidden world) gains the power by welding the 4 elemental orbs. Passes in generation by generation. Additional characters to make them a 7 members team called United Heroes. 4. Stealth/Ronnie Cooper 5. World War Man/Simon Hinder 6. Cosmic Man/Ebol (other planet) 7. Super Force/Walter
Thank you for inspiring me to make my own Hero
He motivated me to start my own comic named The Vigilantes: The Black Ruby
Alright, looks like I'll be making my own team now. Time to get to concept art!
