One day, quite some time ago, a swordslinger trained in the deadliest oriental traditions arrived in our fair city, his body trained to a razor’s edge much like that of his weapon. Going by the name Woods Cutter, he immediately forged a reputation and came to the attention of gang bosses and fellow heroes alike.

In particular, the electrifying StormVyxen caught his eye, and he hers. Their partnership endured and even resulted in a child who, indeed, followed her parents’ superheroic path. Tragedy struck this crimefighting family, however, when a freak accident deprived StormVyxen of life force and memory; in fact all that stood between her and complete oblivion was the intervention of a Kheldian, with whom she was reborn as StarVyxen.

Woods Cutter, currently cleared for Security Level 31, fights on, even alongside a half-alien woman who has no working memory of her life with him. With sharpened steel, nearly paranormal recuperative ability and dogged determination, he fights the forces of darkness wherever they appear.

Here we see his original garb, stylish yet straightforward in concept.

By this point, fame (and romance) had perhaps gone to his head. Many of his fans still consider this to be “Woodsie’s” best look.

After the tragedy involving StormVyxen, Woods is often seen in this more traditional robe and trouser set, bespeaking his newfound humility.
