In our sixth episode of the Kedoshim Initiative Podcast, Xavier takes a looks at the responses to a sort of social experiment he ran on the Xplanations YouTube Channel. Where the aim was to garner first impressions of Characters taken from various Christian-themed comics. To see how close people's first impressions lined up to the character’s official description according to their creator. Podcast can be listened to on YouTube and Spotify
In this blog post, we compiled some of the responses highlighted in the during the Podcast. To hear all the responses, be sure to check out the Podcast.
Atoman, GemnStar & Calavary - The Remnant
Responses when asked - What Individual Superhero Names would you give them? Also, what would you name their team? (Avengers, Justice League, Teen Titans, etc.)
Neolight, with Skyflare, Dazzle, and Crier
The Nuke 'ems starring Hosh Spice, Communion, and the Green Veil.
The red one I would name "Firepower," the green one "Smash" (he seems to be a brawler?), and the pink one I would name "Destructive(or disruptive) Pink." Together they form the Dissemination Squad!"
Jellybean - The Remnant
Responses when asked - Based on the image alone....
What Superhero Name and Superpower would you give her?
The Boogie Phantom and she can phase through objects
Butterfly Effect - Has plasma beams - The ability to fly - Has wings made from plasma when she wants to fly
Lunar Butterfly with the power to you her Lunar base Energy to her own will allowing her to form the energy she collects to the molecular level. Used right can form just about anything! (Becomes stronger at night, and in space, I guess) and YES I’m just pullin’ this out my butt!
A lesbian
With all the respect in the world, if we are truly interested in expanding Christian fiction through comic books. Female heroes (and even some mens) should be dressed more modest; this is in no way appropriate for children. It’s entirely too revealing - I also really think Christians have failed to grasp the spiral from soft porn into actual porn; it happens this fast. It’s in all our cartoons as kids also.
The Apostle - The Remnant
Responses when asked - Based on the image alone....
What Superhero Name and Superpower would you give him?
Scarlet Crusader
The Bronze Ephesian (The Ephesian for short) , whose armory is impenetrable to all physical and spiritual attacks. But only if he's prayed for it to be so within the last 6hrs. Also, when around other Christians, they gain enhanced durability while his own is active.
....Christian Soldier, like the song by Jon Schmidt.
Christ knight, whose sword can cut through whatever it touches....
Viva Cristo Rey, or just Rey for short.
The Apostle is pretty fitting, not because his superhero name IS The Apostle, but because the character design lends itself to that name.
Apollyon - The Remnant
Responses when asked - Based on the image alone....
What Super villain Name and Superpower would you give him?
Helios
Crossbow
Apollo. Skilled archer, pyrokinetic
Appollyon, the Conqueror Powers are flight and energy projection. I'd probably give him some form of mind control too, considering the name that came to mind.
Nuadas, the light Archer, a Demi human/faerie who Is the protector of a magical artifact that my OC, Astra, Is looking for, who decides to test her by see how well she deflects His light arrows, covertly a test of characters too
The Black Blossom
Responses when asked - Based on the image alone....
What Superhero Name and Superpower would you give her?
Violet Star.... She is Master swordsman with a technologically advanced nano suit and has telekinetic abilities
Star light with deep telekinetic connection to her swords and power to project beams that give kill
Purple Paladin Stores kinetic energy within her blades uses them to enhance her strikes
Star Blade
Black Poppie since she puts others to sleep with the Gospel....
