In case you miss it, my new Captarv-Verse universe, Earth-ARV71, will feature some variants of Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Super Sentai. Previously, you've probably seen Kamen Rider Kilat (Yusuf Vajrasatya) and Kamen Rider Apollyon before, now it's Ultraman's turn!

Long story short, Ultraman Sakti originally came from the unique planet S45, whose fellow Ultras, roughly dubbed the Colossal Knights of Light by humans, have helped the humanity on warding off the Kaijus centuries earlier (yeah, definitely not 30 million years ago). The legend of Sakti has been immortalized by the locals on the Java Island, likened to that of the heroes of Hindu mythology, where Sakti remained in Earth for centuries until his unknown "death".

Moving forward to the present-day Indonesia, we have Harun Bhaskara, a 17 years old Muslim Indonesian high school student who lived a completely normal life... until he accidentally stumbled upon a mysterious statue of Sakti, and when a mysterious Kaiju tried to attack him, Harun accidentally became bonded with the statue, revealing itself as Sakti in his dormant state. Using this new mystical power, Harun transforms into Ultraman Sakti by willpower, with his real identity being only known to his family and few of his close friends. Well, think about Billy Batson aka Shazam (or Captain Marvel... before that naming dispute), but change it into the the context of Ultraman when thinking about Harun.

Design wise... I used SH Figuarts Ultraman Noa as a base, but I mixed it with several Gatotkaca skins from Mobile Legends game (Iron Steel/default, Sentinel, and Solar Spark) into one. And oh, I definitely taking some influences from the Upin & Ipin rendition of Ultraman Ribut with his cybernetic design instead of his live action version. By the way, Sakti's mouth is supposed to resemble the OG Ultraman's Type-C mouth; it's just that I am sucks at drawing Ultra mouth, duh.

Speaking of his power, welp, he's pretty much the Ultra version of Gatotkaca, with the Merpati Putih (White Dove) style of Pencak Silat (the Indonesian counterpart of Silat). He somehow utilizes the same skills as Ultraman Ribut, with his Sakti Fist attached on each of his hand. Like, you know, Ribut Blocker from Ultraman Ribut. Another note, he can shrink himself into human size just in case he needed to fight some human sized enemies, similar to Tiga's shrinking ability!

Last but not least, happy Indonesian Independence Day to my fellow Indonesians and myself!

It's also inspired by this one: https://www.deviantart.com/zer-oarts/art/Hope-for-A-Better-Future-1191553334

Ironically my first ever contribution to this Subreddit LMAO

Yep, I was given a permission by femme_mingo on Discord to post her art on my Kamen Rider OC, Kamen Rider Kilat (Yusuf Vajrasatya), by crediting her!

Meet the unexpected Kamen Rider of the Covenant of Lamina, Yusuf Vajrasatya!

So... decided to celebrate the upcoming 25th anniversary of the first Devil May Cry game with an art of my Earth-ARV13 DMC OC, Eclisfula (in his Thunderstorm Step Form), done by u/Limina17 on Reddit! Go check their Reddit page, their arts (especially the LOTR covers recreation) are amazing!

Mystique (Raven Darkholme):

The early life of Raven Darkholme, infamously known as Mystique, remained quite a mystery. However, she recounted that at the time her mutation occurred for the very first time, it was rather abnormal that she was extremely scared for going to school. To make matter worse, her parents, who also feared of her mutation, also tried to kill her, resulting with Raven's escape. The year was 1944, when Raven managed to run away from her rather abusive parents, and sneaked into a home of Charles Xavier in Westchester, New York, searching for food. Disguising as Charles' mother, her disguise was foiled by Charles as he accused his "mother" for being an impostor, and revealing his mind-reading skills by telling her that his mother would not make him a hot chocolate she kept on telling the maid to do it. Revealing Raven's true form, the two mutants started their friendship, with Charles told her that she can come stay and live with him and his family, and she could never be hungry again. Their friendship remained near adamant at the time Charles graduated from his Oxford thesis, where Raven, Charles, and later Erik Lehnsherr (Max Eisenhardt) were contacted by Charles' associate, Moira MacTaggert, about a potential threat from the Hellfire Club, led by Sebastian Shaw (the Black King). A Scottish mutant with a secret ability of reincarnation, Moira made a connection with CIA as they tracked down the activities from the Hellfire Club. Raven, alongside Xavier, Lehnsherr, Daniel Lone Eagle (Forge), Armando Munõz (Darwin), Moira, and Angel Salvadore became part of SHIELD's Division X, sanctioned by both the Man in Black and Director Nick Fury Sr.

On the other hand... apparently, Raven knew what the Hellfire Club was doing much earlier. How? Years prior, Irene Adler, an Austrian mutant with an ability of future precognition, was seemingly disturbed by a deluge of disconcerting, alien sights and sounds. This "gift" was in fact "cursed" her with her permanent blindness; however, Shaw saw this as a chance to recruit her into the Hellfire Club as the White Bishop. In order to understand the meaning of her seemingly absurd visions, Irene would secretly hired Raven Darkholme to decipher them, while telling Raven to keep their love relationship a secret. Just as the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in 1962, the Division X was shattered when Erik went too far for controlling the missiles from the Cuban side, fueled by his trauma during the Holocaust, asserting that that humans would never accept mutants and opted to assert rule over them instead of waiting to be interred and executed. His principal would eventually led to a feud between Charles and Erik, and when MacTaggert managed to shoot down Erik, he deflected one of the bullets, which subsequently paralyzed Charles by accident. Shocked by Erik's revelation, Raven went to Charles' side and bid each other farewell, telling MacTaggart to take care of Charles. Raven, who had become something of a protégé to Magneto, opted to join him and helped form the Brotherhood of the Mutants alongside the defected members of the Hellfire Club, Azazel included. The Brotherhood would later hunt down the rest of the Hellfire Club, whose dominance remained global-scaled.

For the next few decades, while Magneto became some sort of terrorist by the entirety of authorities, Mystique was left on her own to carry out his agenda. In the meantime, she also carried a relationship with both Irene and Azazel, to which she became quite bored of to the latter following the birth of Kurt Wagner. Her shapeshifting ability remained beneficial for the Brotherhood of Mutants, and she posed herself as a valuable spy for time. At some point of time between the 1990s and 2000s, Raven married with Baron Christian Wagner in order to benefit herself as part of a deal she made with her partner, Irene. During her marriage, Mystique asked her husband to “hire” Irene as a maid and started an affair with her and the other member of the Brotherhood, Azazel, resulting with the birth of Kurt Wagner by secret. Realizing that Kurt's demonic looking form might scared the Wagner family, she eventually killed Christian Wagner and abandoned Kurt to drift in a river, where he would be later found by Margali Szardos not far from the Bavarian Alps. Around two years later, one night, Irene confided that she wanted to have a child with Raven, having been preoccupied by other designs. Raven agreed and they conceived a child with Raven morphing as a man for the act (altering her gametes to pass on traits from both Azazel, Christian and countless others) and eventually sired their daughter, Talia Darkholme. However, as they realized that Azazel might as well fell "cheated" with this revelation, Irene and Raven would seek help from Charles Xavier in order to rewrite their daughter's memories to compensate with the lost of Raven's son. Thus, Talia Darkholme became Talia "Wagner", and she was later brought on to be adopted by Mystique and Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff).

Following the disastrous ordeal between she, Irene, and Azazel, Mystique remained a pivotal member of the Brotherhood of Mutants, having carried on a successful task on assassinating Senator Robert Kelly, alongside any other anti-mutant public figures. Her motive was quite simple: "Mutant and Proud". And to achieve it, she had to "fight just to survive"

***

Destiny (Irene Adler):

Born from a prosperous family in Salzburg, Austria, Irene Adler had her mutation on precognition occurred at the age of 13. Without guidance in harnessing her newfound powers, she faced a deluge of disconcerting, alien sights and sounds. Struggling to preserve her mental faculties, Adler embarked on a journey to record her visions in diaries, containing the predictions of the future. Her recordings spanned the destiny of the world, humanity, and mutantkind, expressed in an enigmatic procession of unknown tongues, cryptic codes, pictograms, and unvisited locales, alongside individuals yet to be born. Her action indeed had a consequence; just as she finished her 13th volume of her diary, Irene was stricken with physical blindness.

Irene extraordinary powers on predicting the future attracted interest from Sebastian Shaw, the Black King of the Hellfire Club. She was later induced into the Hellfire Club as the White Bishop, acting as Shaw's consultant in the 1950s. Meanwhile, she also formed a secret relationship with Raven Darkholme (later Mystique), whom she became friend to in order to decipher her diaries. When the Cuba Missile Crisis happened in 1962, Division X managed to interfere with the Hellfire Club's involvement with the Soviet Union. At that time, Irene's allegiance was shattered for awhile, but following the Crisis' aftermath and the failure of Erik Lehnsherr to capture Shaw led Irene to remain in the Hellfire Club, as well as secretly allied herself with Mystique following Azazel and Angel Salvadore's defection to the newly formed Brotherhood of Mutants.

Decades later, sometimes after late 1990s, Irene eventually denounced her alliance with the Hellfire Club, and went with the new namesake, Destiny. She was then "hired" as a maid to Raven Darkholme, who married Baron Christian Wagner somewhere in Germany. However, in the same time, Raven has also made an affair with Azazel, resulting with the birth of their only son, Kurt Wagner. Realizing Kurt's demonic look, Raven assassinated Baron Christian Wagner, and decided to throw Kurt into the river in the Bavarian Alps.

Around two years later, one night, Irene confided that she wanted to have a child with Raven, having been preoccupied by other designs. Raven agreed and they conceived a child with Raven morphing as a man for the act (altering her gametes to pass on traits from both Azazel, Christian and countless others) and eventually sired their daughter, Talia Darkholme. However, as they realized that Azazel might as well fell "cheated" with this revelation, Irene and Mystique seek help from Charles Xavier (Professor X) in order to rewrite their daughter's memories to compensate with the lost of Raven's son years earlier. As such, Talia Darkholme was adopted by Mystique and Scarlet With (Wanda Maximoff) under a new name: Talia Wagner.

Together with Mystique, Destiny saw her as a constant figure in a sea of murky possibilities caused by the Shadow King's intervention with her power. Together, they managed to forge their own fate, regardless of the shifting paradigm of mankind over the course of years. In the meantime, Irene dreamed of several mutants who witness the greatest possible future in their hands...

The story of Azazel, once the Black Bishop of the Hellfire Club, was left unknown but to Shaw. Some witness him being a swashbuckling demon, but even Azazel denied that rumour. In reality, Azazel was just that; a demon-looking mutant with no connection with the real demons themselves. Following the defection of Magneto (Erik Lehnsherr, originally Max Eisenhardt) from the original Division X, Azazel followed Magneto's cause as part of the Brotherhood of Mutants, and eventually had a relationship with Mystique (Raven Darkholme), which led to the birth of Kurt Wagner. However, two years later, Mystique happened to have formed a secret relationship with Destiny (Irene Adler), and thus, Talia Wagner, the half sister of Kurt Wagner, was born.

The last time Kurt Wagner saw Margali Szardos was when she, alongside Armen Jardine, was murdered by Azazel. While Kurt eventually learned about the terrible truth about his parents: Mystique and Azazel, Kurt's new revelation has yet to be uncovered...

When Azazel decided to ran away right after killing Margali and Jardine, Azazel accidentally stumbled upon a mysterious red Symbiote (very different to that of Carnage), who offered him a deal to get rid of Kurt once and for all. Azazel would then rechristened himself as the Red Terror, leading his hunt against the Spinnenmann, Kurt Wagner. His combined swordsmanship and teleporting ability have made his bonding with the Symbiote even more deadly than anyone could expect...

"Through our blade of enlightenment, we carry the torch

Through our blood, we show worthiness

Through our sacrifice, we show atonement

Through our allegiance, we show glory

Our life is for the Light, and our fight is with the Blade"

- The Oath of the Covenant of Lamina

Well, here comes the logo for the Covenant of Lamina for my Earth-ARV71 tokusatsu lore! As explained in my Proto-Kilat entry, this is the organization responsible for sealing Apollyon centuries prior, and also the creation of the Lamina Driver. Might expand the lore later.

And, in case you're curious, yes, that's based on MCU Heimdall's Hofund sword LOL

"Through our blade of enlightenment, we carry the torch

Through our blood, we show worthiness

Through our sacrifice, we show atonement

Through our allegiance, we show glory

Our life is for the Light, and our fight is with the Blade"

- The Oath of the Covenant of Lamina

***

Welcome back to my Earth-ARV71 tokusatsu lore! Now, allow me to tell you a bit about the story of the Covenant of Lamina (lamina = blade in Latin).

The Covenant of Lamina was formed during the humanity's war against Apollyon's march centuries ago. When Apollyon was defeated and sealed, the Covenant of Lamina continued to protect humanity from demons (and any other possibly supernatural entities) up until his awakening in the 21st century.

Between those eras, several prominent warriors were chosen as the "agents" of the Covenant, and each served and protect humanity in a quite different way. They came from various nations, and each of them became quite a legend in their respective countries.

Here, in the 1920s to 1930s, they had what was later referred as "Proto-Kilat" by Yusuf Vajrasatya (aka Kamen Rider Kilat), not only because he basically had no alias (plus the term "Kamen Rider" didn't get introduced at that time), but some of his mission records were destroyed following his death. Originally a native Muslim Indonesian aviator in the Dutch East Indies, he was induced to the Covenant of Lamina due to the disturbance of demons towards the locals in the East Indies.

But, unlike his fellow Covenant warriors, he decided to take an extra step. Having familiar with engineering, he decided to make use of Apollyon's demon army's technology that was stolen by the Covenant years earlier, and decided to make his own armor, helmet, and wings. The legend of those winged warrior was likened to that of the legend of Garuda (despite he admitted that he modeled the armor after the peregrine falcon), and his presence accidentally triggered the spirit of rebellion for the natives of East Indies.

Decades after his death, his complete set of armor was retrieved by the Covenant of Lamina in 1971. Adopting the new technology from Apollyon's realm, the armor was encased inside the Lamina Driver...

...which is the same Driver that Yusuf used as Kamen Rider Kilat many years later.

Oh, okay. That's enough for storytelling here.

Anyway... while Proto-Kilat's armor is actually the same of Kamen Rider Kilat's, Proto-Kilat's armour was originally meant to be a makeshift armor instead of a high tech one like Kamen Rider Kilat's. Besides, his coat was also based on the early WWI (World War I) French army coat (specifically from 1914, because, well, they changed their uniform a lot each year during WWI), with several tweaks. I dunno, other than the practicality, I liked the design and aesthetic a lot.

Just in case you want to know what would his hunt against the demons and such would look like in Proto-Kilat's era, think about Warhammer 40K but still, less brutal.

[SEPARATE RENDERS ARE IN THE COMMENT SECTION]

I've already had this in mind shortly after watching Kamen Rider Kuuga series last year, and really, I already had plan to make James Rogers the version of Kuuga (Yusuke Godai) as American Rider Neo, a representation of a new era. But for American Dream (Shannon Carter)... I was almost in shambles. Funny enough, I wanted to fuse her with Kamen Rider Build (Sento Kiryu), but then, I remembered that Kamen Rider Agito celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, so I decided to mix Shannon with Agito (Soichi Tsugami) as American Rider Lucen, given the fact that KR Agito was meant to be Kuuga 2.0, but got ultimately scrapped instead.

I imagined that James Rogers, being the son of American Rider (Steve Rogers) and Natasha Romanoff, found the Arcle belt by accident, that stored the power of the Amadam stone, the very same stone that ironically turned Cynthia Schmidt into Red Skadi (or Red Daguva?). While encountering the belt, he was accidentally given a vision of the previous Kuuga warrior, Riku, the protector of the Rinto. Realizing the dangerous potential behind the belt, SHIELD decided to re-utilize the Arcle belt for James, where he continued his father's legacy as American Rider Neo.

Meanwhile... Shannon Carter, the niece of Sharon Rogers, decided to investigate the whereabouts of the Gurongi tribe, who has a long rivalry with an entity named Prometh. Learning that Prometh was responsible for creating the Amadam stone and also the Maternal stone (both considered to be Spirit Stones by the Rinto people), Shannon decided to steal one of the fragments of the Maternal stone from HYDRA and she eventually transformed into American Rider Lucen. A bit close to the 2015 Kuuga manga, but still keeping the connection between Prometh and Agito.

I did a LOT of creative liberty when designing these two. For James, the primary influence was the Nuovo Battleworld version of him: https://www.deviantart.com/captainarv/art/Nuovo-Battleworld-Captain-America-James-Rogers-1282259650

While borrowing influences from the Arkham Knight (Jason Todd) concept art, the OG Kuuga, and Kamen Rider G3. James' sword is basically the Titan Form version of Kuuga's sword; I am way too lazy to draw TryGouram (or Trychaser) motorcycle.

Shannon's design wasn't straying away from the usual Agito primary suit; she was also inspired by HTTYD3 Astrid's Dragon Armour. Pose based on Marvel Heroes game version of American Dream.

During his research into what would ultimately become the Super Soldier Serum, Dr. Abraham Erskine outlined a special revolutionary diet and isometric exercise regimen that he theorized would create a super-soldier. However, because the diet and regime required a lifetime of adherence in order to produce the desired results, this research was rejected by the US government who demanded super soldiers that could be produced immediately, not over the course of years. Erskine passed over his methodology when he perfected his serum. When Erskine was assassinated, what little research pertaining to the serum was sequestered by the government, and his prior research notes were deemed inconsequential enough to not even classify as secret; thus they were passed down through his family, finally ending up in the hands of his grandson, Brian Van Patrick, who used the research to develop a successful organic food business.

You get it right. Brian Van Patrick, the father of Michael Van Patrick. Brian's son, Michael, was not interested on continuing his father's business, and instead became one of the most successful athletes in the University of Kentucky. Michael was close the Peter Parker, who somehow took part in Michael's research on the said Erskine's diet.

On the other hand, Oscorp, who secretly obtained Erskine's remaining Super Soldier serum, decided to illegally injected it to their experimental (and genetically altered) spider, but somehow let loose for an unknown reason. When Michael was invited by Peter to visit the Oscorp Building in New York, Michael didn't realize that the said spider was still roaming around the building, eventually biting him in the process. It didn't take too long for Michael to finally figured out what exactly happened to his body; he could crawl on walls, shoots some organic webs, and most importantly, having a similar power to the Super Soldier, as intended by his great grandfather, Abraham Erskine.

But somehow, Michael was in torn. How could he make use of his new power, when he didn't even know what should he do alongside continuing his study? Vance Astrovik of the New Warriors has an answer to that: recruiting him directly to Astrovik's team. Despite nicknamed MVP at first, Michael decided to took his own persona: US Arachnid. He was make a valuable (reserve) member of SHIELD, where he could still spend most of his time at the University of Kentucky while secretly fights as your friendly neighborhood vigilante, US Arachnid.

Somehow, there will be a time when Michael Van Patrick realized that his action might also have a consequence to HYDRA, as they've also released their own doctor to capture him alive...

[UPDATE 2nd July 2026: Kamen Rider Kilat (Yusuf Vajrasatya) and Kamen Rider Apollyon are now part of my Captarv-Verse multiverse as Earth-ARV71! You'll also see the Earth-ARV71 variants of Super Sentai/Power Rangers and Ultraman later one! So, Kamen Riders, Sentai, and Ultraman are all situated in the exact same universe here (Earth-ARV71), just with my own theme tho.]

Yep, I did not make this name up. Apollyon is originally a Greek word for Abaddon, the demon of destruction and plagues. That sounds pretty cool tho.

In Kamen Rider Kilat's universe, Apollyon is the leader of his cyber demon army (his own race too), who managed to plague the humanity for many years... until the humanity sealed him centuries ago. Well, that didn't last long; by an unknown circumstance, Apollyon woke up in the 21st century, continuing his long-time infernal conquest. Quite similar to Davoth from Doom: Eternal game, design wise.

I wanted to make the rivalry between Kamen Rider Apollyon and Kamen Rider Kilat being similar to that of N-Daguva-Zeba and Kamen Rider Kuuga. Imagine how brutal and bloody their fight is gonna be. LOL

The primary design for Kamen Rider Apollyon is the Blackguard armor concept art from Halo: Master Chief Collection! I think it fits the entire "medieval-futuristic" design language for Apollyon, because he's also inspired by General Xaviax from Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight. The color schemes are based on Samael from the Darksiders game series.

Apollyon's helmet (or head?) is based on the Marauders from Doom: Eternal (who doesn't love that creatures?). For Apollyon's wings, they're based on Predaking's unused concept art for Transformers: Prime. And well, Apollyon's sword, Loimos, is a near 1:1 replicate of the Augmented Scaevan Magitek Greatsword from Final Fantasy 14. The name, Loimos, means plague in Greek, also recorded Loimos tôn Athênôn (the Plague of Athens).

And oh yeah, don't mind why he's called Kamen Rider Apollyon while Kamen Rider Abbadon already existed. Because, umm, there are Kamen Rider Blade and Kamen Rider Blades (with an extra 's') from two completely different series each too.

I’ve been thinking about his civilian name, and before you complain, that kind of name is actually quite normal for we, Indonesians, to say. Definitely inspired by Bima Satria Garuda (Ray Bramasakti), our own version of Kamen Rider (not to mention because it was also developed by the creator of Kamen Rider, Ishimori Production!).

Quick info, Yusuf Vajrasatya is a Muslim Indonesian who settled for a while in Kyoto after obtaining an international scholarship to Kyoto University. For the motif, I chose peregrine falcon as an inspiration, because it is the FASTEST BIRD IN THE WORLD, and I think it will fits his speedster ability pretty well. Kamen Rider Kilat's universe is basically similar to the Doom game series universe; fighting some literal cyber demons but make them more kid friendly; they don't have the same destructive capacity as the actual Doom universe ones. LOL

For his designs, getting a lot of DMC5 Dante Devil Trigger (and Sin Devil Trigger), CW’s Flash, Kamen Rider Ixa Rising Form, Kamen Rider Ichigo, and Tekken 3 Jin Kazama vibes there, with several inspirations from Tekken 7 and 8 Yoshimitsu and winged Garo (from Garo series) for the wings. For Sabit, it is inspired by Tekken 7 Yoshimitsu sword's design, while for Purnama, it's clearly inspired by Sidewinder from Mass Effect: Andromeda, with some flairs from the unused gun concept arts from Bayonetta game.

[SEPARATE RENDERS ARE IN THE COMMENT SECTION]

In the early 25th century, the government of the United States of America reactivating the centuries old Project Rebirth to anticipate the potential threats from HYDRA, led by the Red Prophet. Named Project RENATUS by SHIELD, the Government took a radical approach: to produce mass super-soldiers with a combination of genetic engineering and mechanical augmentation.

Of course, this Project was incredibly risky; very few people have ever survived such kind of augmentation, as the excruciating pain resulted from the augmentation could also led to physiological stress that could produce cardiac arrest, in addition to cross-chemical complications that can result in augmentation failure. One of the most successful candidates of the Project RENATUS augmentation was, in fact, Kiyoshi Morales.

Being born of Latino, African American, Japanese, and Native American descent, Kiyoshi Morales received rigorous training by both SHIELD and US Army since the age of 14. Since late childhood, Kiyoshi already exhibited excellent strength and durability, alongside strategies and tactics. Kiyoshi was considered to be a "national asset" by the US Government, where he was eventually given an exoskeleton armor by Stark Industries and was christened as Commander A.

As Commander A, Kiyoshi led his country into several victories against HYDRA. As battle hardened he is, he was well respected by his most trusted ally, Admiral Shabazz (the descendant of Isaiah Bradley) of the US Navy, and also by the people of the US. Despite suffering casualties from the war, thanks to them, the United States is now free from HYDRA's threat... for now.

Shannon Carter, the cousin of Sharon Carter, grew up idolizing Captain America (Steve Rogers) since childhood. Hence, when the new Avengers team was formed, Shannon Carter, who once worked as a tour guide at the Avengers Tower, was also invited to join. To honor Steve, she had already designed a costume that resembles Steve's uniform; in addition to this, she also created a laser disc weapons that are all stored inside her bracers. She would undergo a lot of physical training to make herself as strong and as agile as humanly possible.

Earning her own title as the American Dream, she became the leader of the Avengers alongside Spider-Girl (May "Mayday" Parker), Mainframe, Saberclaw (Hudson Logan), Thunderstrike (Kevin Masterson), and so on. When the Avengers faced several dangerous threats, Shannon has proved herself worthy of Cap's colors... and also his shield.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Err... I dunno how do I even write her bio. But anyway, her story was quite the same as her Earth-982 counterpart; being the cousin of Sharon Carter aka Agent 13, a big fan of Captain America, and last but not least, she doesn't even need a Super Soldier Serum to become herself!

Yep, we got American Dream here. Another popular MC2 (Marvel Comics 2, I guess?) character alongside Mayday Parker, I thought it's probably a good time to introduce her to my Captarv-Verse entry. Her Earth's designation, Earth-412, is actually an analog to how Marvel Comics 2 being a possible alternate future universe of the original Marvel Universe. So, Earth-412 seems like a possible alternate future for Earth-41, in this case.

Anyway, I didn't really change much of her basic design, but somehow, I managed to make her suit as close as Steve's Earth-41 Cap attire. And oh, I actually change her mini-discs into more like laser/energy discs instead, because I thought using physical discs while using Cap's shield seems impractical for me.

[I forgot to credit myself on the OG post's title, so I had to delete it and post it again]

Originally, I had no idea which Kamen Rider should I mashup with Sam Wilson (Falcon) as Captain America, so I decided to do this poll more than a week ago:

https://www.deviantart.com/captainarv/poll/If-I-did-the-Kamen-Rider-treatment-for-Sam-Wilson-s-Captain-America-which-one-should-I-choose-8692510

And really, the result of this poll was quite tough. It wasn't until one of my friends on DeviantART suggested me to mix him with Kamen Rider Super-1 instead, who is one of the three candidates of the said poll. Funny enough, at the time of this writing and drawing, the majority also chose Super-1, so I guess I've found the winner of this poll.

Kamen Rider Super-1 (Kazuya Oki) was actually an astronomer who became a volunteer of the Super-1 program in order to produce an astronaut that can survive outer space for an extended time without the need of the bulky astronaut suit. While the astronaut term doesn't really fit MCU Sam Wilson as a whole, I would like to think that adopting some major aspects of this background could work with several liberties.

Hence, in this universe, Sam Wilson was once a US Air Force pararescue airman who voluntary agreed to become part of the Super Falcon-1 program, and underwent several cybernetic surgeries in order to survive the high altitude (with low oxygen and high pressure) without the need of the G-suit (a type of pilot suit to prevent gravitational g-LOC during the flight's accelerated phase). This was done secretly by SHIELD due to the fact that they couldn't replicate the method of the so-called Prana Experiment from HYDRA, as this was of specialty from Abraham Erskine and Arnim Zola.

Originally designated as Super Falcon-1, Sam Wilson stood down from his role in the Air Force after an accident in Afghanistan killed one of his friends, Ronald Riley. But that changed after SHIELD actually found American Rider 1 (Steve Rogers) and American Rider 2 (Bucky Barnes) survived in the ice during their discovery in the Arctic, that Sam Wilson renamed himself as American Rider Super-1 and joined force with the Double American Riders. Not pretty sure how I am gonna chose the Marvel counterpart of the Dogma Kingdom tho.

American Rider Super-1's design is heavily based on The Falcon and The Winter Soldier series version of Cap's suit, because I love it. Decided to mix the helmet of Kamen Rider Super-1 with Cap's oxygen helmet from Captain America: Brave New World movie, albeit with white colour instead of blue. I also borrowed the elements from Kamen Rider Super-1 3D art by Pray Wibowo on Artstation. (link here)

In Earth-ARV212, the discovery of Steve Rogers' body in the Arctic seemed to go awry instead. Possibly due to the brain aneurysm, Steve never survived his stint in the ice. However, thanks to Bruce Banner's aid, the improvised version of Super Soldier Serum was successfully extracted from his blood, and was kept by SHIELD until it was needed.

Around a year later, Agent Phil Coulson was heavily injured when Loki attacked the SHIELD Project PEGASUS Facility, but was subsequently saved by Clint Barton, who was never brainwashed by the Norse God of Mischief. Although hesitant at first, Director Nick Fury Jr. agreed to "revive" Coulson using the Super Soldier Serum. The lack of vita-ray during the experiment indeed didn't change the size of Coulson's body unlike Steve's, but it does giving him the same strength and feats of the original Captain America, Steve Rogers.

Being the biggest fan of Captain America, Coulson has always dreamed to become like him. However, when he was trusted to carry on Steve's legacy, he realized that the reality of superheroes fighting against the force of evils are way more complicated, much more different than the stories of Captain America that he had heard as a child.

Came Tony Stark aka Iron Man. He was the one who offered Coulson a "second chance" to help, or even lead, the Avengers had a new threat on Earth emerged. Coulson already learned the consequences had he step up becoming the new Captain America. But knowing the real burden behind the Super Soldier serum, Coulson thought that his entire life was worth it: to become SHIELD's best. Even when SHIELD might turn its head against him due to his action, he knew that he did it for the greater good. The good becomes better, the bad becomes worse, they said.
