Miles Mayhem - Python

For Miles Mayhem full bio go here: wondermanrules.deviantart.com/…

When piloting/co-piloting VENOM’s mobile command vehicle Outlaw Miles Mayhem wears Python mask which has two distinct powers at it’s disposal.

Python mask’s primary weapons are twin cybernetically controlled energized steel alloy cables that can extend a maximum of thirty feet from the bottom cylinders on either side of the mask. The energy enveloping the cables increases their tensile strength making them nearly diamond hard. The cables can be used as whips, rending metals as strong as steel and can shatter reinforced concrete.

The cables can entwine a victim or object and constrict with a maximum force of 115 pounds per square inch. Once wrapped around a victim or object the cables are nearly unbreakable and can crush and kill an average human being within a matter of seconds.

Python mask can also send electricity through it’s cables that act as an electroshock weapon which can incapacitate a victim by administering electric shocks aimed at disrupting superficial muscle functions in their bodies and/or causing them extreme physical pain without significantly hurting the victim.

Python mask’s coils are able to lift and hold a maximum weight of 1500 pounds for roughly 60 seconds but this causes significant strain to the wearer as well as the mask itself. Python can hold aloft an average human being with ease and with little to no strain on the wearer.

Python is magnetically anchored to a thin steel mesh woven into Mayhem’s uniform that when charged by Python’s activation acts like a solid exoskeleton which lessens the strain of the wearer from any significant weight Python’s coils can lift.

Python’s second power is the ability to shoot energy “pythons” from the top cylinders on either side of the mask. The python’s are snake-shaped electrically-charged photons that can “coil” around a victim or vehicle and deliver a powerful electrical shock on contact. The pythons are primarily used to short out electronics in moving vehicles at long range or to incapacitate victims out of range of it's metal coils.

I absolutely love Mile’s Python uniform from the cartoon and his action figure based on it was significantly different in the respect that it wasn’t a black vest over a gray jumpsuit and instead was a dark purple leather jacket over khaki pants with sky blue gloves and sleeve cuffs with brown boots. Plus they made Python mask dark blue which again goes with nothing on his uniform. So really as great as the details are on the figure the horrible color combos they chose for the toy just wreck the cool factor of it.  

Because of this I chose to draw figure based on the action figure details but color the character in the original cartoon style because not only was it color coordinated properly but also it suited the whole V.E.N.O.M. team colors motif that the Outlaw vehicle had going for it. Also considering Outlaw is an oil tanker truck it would make more sense if Miles were disguised as a worker in coveralls with a trucker vest on than his usual military style outfit. Still like always Mayhem just has to show off his damn metals and loves stripes on his pant legs.
