Jack Rabbit

Although I started off with my o.c., “Beach Bunny” as the first character to premier for the “Earth-II Defense Justice Force” (E2DJF), and she is a half-rabbit woman, Jack here is actually the one that began the concept and story for the team. Most of my characters in my Coolstar Comics Universe were created back in the 90s while I was in high school and this guy is no exception. He is influenced by other rabbit heroes of the day such as “Usagi Yojimbo” and his little known futuristic variant “Space Usagi” as well as “Bucky O'Hare” more so the former than the latter though particularly since he is a regular guy who was mutated into his current form via twisted experiments by his arch-enemy. Very much the kind of thing that happens every day in “TMNT” a series that “Usagi” has often crossed over with. So, yeah, I liked the idea of having my own mutant rabbit character and made him a kind of space-faring secret agent type that gets his life changed for better or for worse due to his unfortunate mutation, but as these things happen, those that experience them eventually take it for what it's worth and make the best of it, which is what Jack has done. Along with Jack, I created several initial members of the E2DJF to serve as his teammates, and “Beach Bunny” is actually something of a more recent addition that I added to the group because I thought that it would be interesting to have someone on the team that he could perhaps relate to a bit more being that she's a bit like him and until she came to be on the team he never came into contact with another being mutant or otherwise who was.
