DALTON FIXX/DELETE



When I was offered to model a comic book character, it was an emotion that I felt like a kid again. I was happy and joy in the process. Who better to model the bad guy than the all american male. When you embrace that character, you have to fit that persona. This was a challenge for me but I was ready for it.

To prepare to model Delete, I researched the character but mainly for me was reading his bio, seeing the drawings and the live actions pics of the character as well as training. I gained 25lbs to cut back 10lbs and gain 5 more for the show. To gain this, I ate a stricter and kept my fiber very high. This helped me thicken out while maintaining definition. 

When I put on the Delete costume and makeup, at first, it was a shock but when I saw myself with the makeup, then I put on the power glove and eye goggles, this is me/Delete. I knew I had to be professional and act the part to represent the comic book and the Hall of Comics. 


When I made my debut as Delete at Megacon 2016, it was life changing and an extra ordinary experience. Going into Megacon, no one can see your eyes as I tried to keep a serious look. I see people in other characters but I had to stay in my character.meeting Kate Cassidy, I will never forget.                                 

Looking forward in meeting more celebrities in the future.

The message I would like to tell the kids of today is patience and persistence. If you are patient enough to wait for the right opportunity to present itself and persistence enough to pursue what you really want; more or less what makes you happy. You will receive for this life what you put in. This is for everyone!

DELETE


Hey Everyone, we wanted to take the time to share with you another one of our characters. Meet Delete, The Living Eraser.

We cam up with Delete after hitting the delete key of the computer's keyboard. A character who can delete anyone or anything. To make it more interesting, our character is a living computer virus who can not only infect computers but reprogram them instantly to do his bidding. Our character would be physical strong but shows little emotions and a loner type. This was going to be fun to create. Our character was not going to have an ordinary costume and look.

The first thing is our character Delete should have is a power glove where he can use his built in USB cord to connect to any computer, download his virus as well as reprogram them to do his bidding. We have to find or create a power glove. While browsing on Ebay, we spotted an old Nintendo power glove. This will be perfect. We made a bid and later that week won. Once it arrived, we made some modification to it by cutting the cord and painted it black. The buttons on the glove remained as Delete can use it when scanning. Here is Delete's power glove:
   The next thing is his eyes as we wanted Delete to be different. When Delete was reprogramming a computer or downloading a virus or hacking some information, you the fans can see what Delete was doing. We came up with some special eyes after browsing on Ebay again and came up with these:
To make Delete more interesting, he would be in silver and his shirt would be sleeveless where he had his power glove. All we needed is someone to model Delete. We went to Model Mayhem to begin our search and came across Lido Capogrosso. He besides being a model was also an actor. We sent him an email and he responded. Once we interviewed him, he liked the idea and agreed to model Delete. The best part he knew how to do his makeup. This is Lido's version of Delete:                                                            
After our shoot, Lido moved to California to pursue his acting career. 

Three years later, we wanted to resurrect Delete and bring him to Megacon. With Lido in California, we needed to find a new model. We discovered Roel Palloj, an upcoming model who was a big comic book fan. He jumped at this opportunity and studied everything about Delete from our website to prepare for Megacon. Our make up artist at the time found the perfect make up to use on Roel and on March 2012, Roel made his debut at Megacon as Delete. Here is Roel's version of Delete:
We made a video of Roel as Delete at Megacon. Here it is:

After Megacon, Roel moved on with his modeling career.


Grant Sawyers, who modeled ComicBookGuy for the Comic Book Expo in Orlando Fl was alos a perfect fit for Delete. He added flexibility to the Delete character making Delete more dangerous. Here is Grant's version of Delete:


 

Grant left modeling and returned back to school. What Grant did to the ComicBookGuy & Delete characters will never be forgotten and if he ever return to modeling and wanted to come back to us, the doors will always be opened to him.  

We wanted to do some updates to our website and wanted to improve our videos especially Delete's. We needed a new model so we placed an ad on Craigslist and who responded was Bryan Rabung. He did some fitness modeling but not cosplay or model a comic book character and was interested. We set up an interview and Bryan was on board. Like Roel, he studied Deleteand what did the previous models of Delete had done. We did a test shoot of Bryan to get him ready for his debut as Delete at a Power Ranger convention that was coming to Orlando Fl. Here is Bryan as Delete:
 
Unfortunately, Bryan was unable to come to the Power Ranger convention and decided to move back to Virginia.

As luck would have it, our ad on Craigslist was still active and we received a response from Dalton Fixx. We asked Dalton a question before we set up an interview as many people do not consider Batman a superhero so we asked that question to him and here is his response: "Heroes by definition is someone who displays courage or ability and is admired for their bravery. The fact he has no super abilities but instead developed his own abilities to adequately addressed any physical altercation and that he does this not for his own self acclaim but instead to make the world a better place makes him a true superhero."
We set up an interview and Dalton was hired. Here is a sneak peek of Dalton as Delete:
Stay tune to see Dalton in full Delete mode and when and where he will be making his appearances as Delete, The Living Eraser.

KUNAI NINJA WARRIOR
 Hey Fans, with Megacon coming soon, we wanted to share with you the background of Kunai, Ninja Warrior. 
The concept of Kunai came about after watching GI JOE cartoons where Snake Eyes, who is a good ninja and wears black, while Storm Shadow, who is a evil ninja wears white, we decided to make our ninja evil and to wear black. To make our ninja stand out, we came up with tattoos to be on his chest as badges he earned while training or when he went to battle. We added a mask to make him more mysterious. We added a scar over his left eye. The story behind that scar is Spice (our female ninja) invaded Kunai's dojo to steal a rare weapon. Kunai caught her and they fought each other. Spice realizing Kunai was too strong, cuts him with her knife and escapes, scaring his face. Now we had to do is to find a model.
We went on Model Mayhem to look for an Asian male model. We found Richard Leung. We sent him an email and a few days later, he responded. He was new to modeling and wanted to do something different and agreed to model Kunai. Here is Richard Leung's version of Kunai:

After this shoot, Richard  moved on and went back to school.

We needed another model to model Kunai as we wanted Kunai to make his Megacon's debut. We were checking on Model Mayhem and found no one so we went on social media particular MySpace and came across the profile of Jaecob Regis. Like Richard, he was into fitness and bodybuilding but Jaecob had no modeling experience. We sent Jaecob an email via MySpace and was interested so we set up a meeting with him. After he met with us, Jaecob agreed to model Kunai as he had previous fighting skills, some knowledge of weapons and since he had bodybuilding skills, he was able to tone his body. Jaecob made his Kunai's debut at Megacon 2010. He here is:
After Megacon 2010, he did a few more shoots as Kunai. He always trained to looked the part of a ninja. We made some minor changes by giving him a new weapon belt as well as a new weapon. Jaecob continued to train to prepare for next appearance as Kunai for Megacon 2011.Here he is:

We also made a video of him as Kunai at Megacon 2011. Here it is:

After Megacon, Jaecob Regis left the Hall of Comics and became a personal trainer and body builder.


The Kunai character, thanks to Jaecob, became popular and started to have a following. We needed to find a model to model Kunai so he can make his appearances at comic book convention scene. We place an ad on Craigslist and on 3/11/13 we received an response from Jet Chan saying "I'm in." We set up a meeting with Jet and he has been working with us ever since. He made his debut at the Comic Expo on 5/19/13 in Orlando, Fl. For the next convention Orlando Toy & Comic Con in Orlando Fl, we gave him a new weapon. Here it is:

Jet made his Megacon debut in 2014 but we made some minor improvements with his mask and adding leg wraps to his look. Here are the new improvements:


    

  
















We also added the title Ninja Warrior to his name. 



Jet moved on and we are very grateful for all of his hard work and support for not only our project but also his contributions in bringing Kunai Ninja Warrior to life.


In 2018, Leon Shane joined the Hall of Comics to become our Kunai Ninja Warrior character. Here he is at a pre test shoot:
Stay tune to see more of Leon's pic of Kunai Ninja Warrior coming soon.
