Again, it is worth mentioning that the four panels on this page are actually gonna be located under the Big Splash on the previous page, in the Print Edition. I decided to chop everything up for ease of storytelling.
Anyway, before I brought Boolah in to work on Bad Rapture, originally we were gonna do a Team Comic together called "The American Nightmares". One of the characters that was gonna be in the American Nightmares was a twisted version of Superman called Alpha-Omega (the name being a reference to the fact that Superheroes begin and end with Superman). In my vision, Alpha-Omega started out as a handsome Superman type, but Ortex gets ahold of him and warps and twists and mutates him until he becomes a monster. Boolah, on the other hand, wanted somebody on the team who could teleport the team from place to place, so he made Alpha-Omega the "Teleporter" of the group, and also had this idea for the character to look like a giant, walking wad of chewed up bubblegum.
Unfortunately, the American Nightmares comic never got rolling, so we trash canned it in favor of another idea that we're working on right now (the American Nightmares got to make a rather abbreviated "Last Stand" in "Bad Rapture: Alpha"). Still, like any good creator, Boolah hung onto to his Group Teleporter idea, and decided to transplant it onto the Chupacabra. He asked me if it was cool, and I was like "Sounds Neato". After all, beforehand all the Chupacabra was was a Hulk rip-off who bit people's heads off. Now he's got that AND a cool utility power.
