Here’s A.V., folks! When I read Trippitise’s profile of this villainess, which described her as a ruthless information dealer and mercenary boss, I knew she was the winner. A.V. officially joins the SV universe today, and will be a central figure throughout the alien invasion storyline. After that, who knows?
And there’s one last piece of business for today. Now I’ve promised I’d never ask my audience for money, and for two-and-a-half years, I’ve kept that promise. I will however, point you towards a worthy Kickstarter project. Some of my Collective of Heroes compatriots, the very talented team behind the awesome The Specialists, are looking to launch print editions, and need to raise some more funds to make it happen. If you’re the type to help some worthy creators out, give these guys a look.
Have a nice weekend, and stay safe during the Snowpocalypse, East Coasters!

Ignoring that my own entry for the contest was late, a rambling mess and badly drawn… the Actioneer just convinced me that A.V. truly was the best (and perhaps obvious choice). No, wait, I mean for the joke: I actually didn’t watch a lot of the original Star Trek growing up! Hmm… it is late and I’ve got a touch of bronchitis so I’m going to ignore the voice in my head saying I need to find a way to reference my love of the color green and a fondness for robot spiders born of Beast Wars for a self-deprecating joke that would make me sound worse than the Actioneer. XD

I have to admit that im a little disappointed with A.V, dont get me wrong ruthless information dealers and mercenary bosses are always great characters but my mind went down a different path when i first heard the name A.V.
A.V is often used to refer to Adult Video so I started imagining characters that would be a play on words with that, like Miss-stress from League of Super Redundant Heroes or this latest villain from One-Punch man.

obligatory “you have a filthy mind” joke. But more seriously did you not see the character concept under the voting button before the name A.V. was mentionned in the comic? She clearly wasn’t this type of character. Also may I say that I feel the “dominatrix villainess” feel kinda overused anyway?

So am I the only one that saw “A.V.” and expected something in the lines of Audio-Visual? I wasn’t even in our high schools A.V. Club. XD

Yep. “Yearbook editors, please report to the A.V. Room after class. Thank you.”
Totally flashed back to highschool.

I used to kick around Newgrounds a bit. Keinkles, the creator of Madness Combat made a video called AV (Artificial Violence) about a robot chick who kicked all hells of ass. She was also the toughest lieutenant in Mastermind World conquered. She’s what I thought if When I heard the name.

Damn you for making me google “orion slave girls”! I am so confused right now!
Couldn’t you just go with She-Hulk or something? 😀
