History

In the year 2077, DeFacto V ruled the world with an iron fist. Shane Boxer was a member of Dvandomforce, the only rebel movement in this totally ordered dystopia.

Powers and Abilities

In DeFacto V's timeline, Shane had a Series Five Cyclo-heart, allowing him to grow an armored shell with a plasma cannon and flight capabilities by tapping the pressure patch over his heart and shouting "DVANDOMFORCE!" In this form, he could connect to a larger RoboVector and control it as if it was his own body.

Appearance

From Dave Van Domelen, 5/2/97: Dvandomforce rebel from the future of 2077, he switched minds with a normal joe in the present in an attempt to stop the creation of DeFacto V. He failed, but ended up trapped and powerless in the 20th Century, but in the wake of the Century Pact gained new powers from the servants of the tyrant he worked to overthrow! Unfortunately, this picture really didn't turn out as well as I'd have liked. Oh well.

From Dave Van Domelen, 12/11/99: In Dvandom Force #100, Shane Boxer became the new Constellation, as seen here. The costume design is somewhat a parody of the "Dark Flash" costume introduced in Flash #150, although in this pose it's not as obvious. Rather than coloring this piece, I painted it. The black is a gloss acrylic enamel. I laid down a sort of nebular background on the body with light grey, but that barely shows up in the scan. Then the metallic bits and the stars were added with white acrylic paint. The energy construct around him was painted grey with splatterdabs of white. Sky blue and grey paints were used for highlights on the metal bits.

In his original body, Shane was tall and muscular.
