Two hexed meshes by Ken "Kenn" Hallaron based on Texas Jack's Pulp_versatile.  Requires Pulp_versatile keyframes (not included.)

Skins are by Kenn, using a Gryphon base skin, and Dirk Thorazine's Clark Kent skin as bases. 


First Appearance: Whiz Comics #2, 1940

In anceint Egypt, 4000 years ago, Prince Amentep's betrothed, Taia, is mortally injured, whilst Amentep is dispatching a foe.  Egyptian magic can save her, but it will take 4000 years.  She is wrapped up as a mummy anyway (presumably without the whole usual mummification process).  Amentep uses the Ibistick, an invincible magical weapon (except against other magic we later elarn) to basicly have the same process happen to him.

He wakes up in 1940 in a great American museum, and he promptly has the Ibistick dress him even as it removes the mummy wrappings.  He then goes to Europe and revives Taia, who he leaves in her somewhat revealing Egyptian garb - exposing midriffs 60 years before Brittany and Christina.  Now using the name Ibis, he and his lover (I'm not sure they ever wed), go out and have adventures; the Ibistick making Ibis, in effect a very powerful magician.


All the texts I've seen describing Ibis say his suit is black, which also describes all of his "modern" (1975 to present) appearances I've seen since he's been with DC.  But the pictures of the covers of "Ibis the Invincible" (he had 8 issues of his own book - Captain Marvel and sometimes Spy Smasher got the covers of "Whiz") also show him in a blue suit with a red tie wearing a purple cloak.  Furthermore, when I checked out Copper Age's microhero site, http://www.geocities.com/copperagecomics/, I saw he did multiple Ibis micros because of this same variance.  This is why there are actually two Ibis meshes - Ibis and Ibis_cloak.  I'm assuming you can tell which is which.
