I was fooling around and remembered a comic book that was once a favourite of mine, decades ago -- The Metal Men. The members of this superhero team included Iron, Gold, Lead, Mercury and Tin. Only Platinum had a name. Her inventor gave her the name Tina before creating the rest. The members of The Metal Men (and Lady) had the "properties" of the metal the were made from. Gold, for instance, was ductile, Iron was strong, Mercury as a liquid and so on. In practical terms, the were shape shifters, and did things like form steam shovels, cranes, vehicles and the like, and their differences were not all that dramatic. Now and then, one would be a conductor, and another would not be, and that could be worked into the plot. In a later issue, a rival group of Metal Men was created. I don't remember them all, but Copper and Silver (another girl) were among them. They went bad for one reason or another, and, after a fight with the real Metal Men, were destroyed. For this drawing I've created a single member of a new generation of Metal Men (or a Metal Femme), Nickel. Given the name Nicole, she does not morph, but has electromagnetic abilities such as creating electricity, magnetism and even laser action! Nicole's creation was an accident and no plans were made to create another like her. There's more backstory that that, but I don't want to yadda-yadda-yadda needlessly. The blue markings are thin neon lights -- the ought to be thinner, but I didn't feel like the added work it would take to be more careful.

[I decided to revised the blue illuminated strips, slimming them down as I originally intended. To do this I was forced to resort to Photoshop for the touch-up. This is the revised file.]
