The Fortress Archives - 2002 Updates
[2002-Mar-31] Hello World
Put up the basic site content and navigation. Howdy!
[2002-Apr-02] My Hero Recipes
Since others have focused on Marvel heroes, I decided to start with DC. Added
hero recipes for Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and the
Martian Manhunter to the database. Build that Classic JLA team!
[2002-Apr-04] Darkseid!
The JLA needs someone to square off against, so I've added a Darkseid recipe.
[2002-Apr-07] Marvel!
Added new recipes for Aquaman (to round out the JLA's original lineup), Guy
Gardner, and my first Marvel hero, Spider-Man!
[2002-Apr-09] Bunch O' Updates
A bunch of updates today. Added new recipes for Iron Man, Hulk, Cyclops, and
Captain Marvel (DC). Added profiles for nine more Freedom Force Heroes to
complete that set. Introduced a new pulldown to allow you to choose what list of
recipes you would like to see. Minor tweaks (mostly animations, but a few had
powers fine-tuned) to all the previous recipes, so you may want to check 'em
out.
[2002-Apr-10] Alex's Freedom Fortress!
Rechristened the site, "Alex's Freedom Fortress" and updated all logos, etc.

heroes.

Added new recipes for Captain America (with shield! thanks to JiK), Doomsday,
Brainiac 5, and Saturn Girl.
[2002-Apr-28] EZ Danger Room!
Posted my EZ Danger Room tool which allows you to quickly and easily throw
together a Danger Room to try out your customs. Want to have 10 Time Masters, 20
Man-bulls, and 30 alien warriors attack you? Now you can have it up and running
in seconds. Also posted minor tweaks to Superman, Thor, and Captain Marvel.
[2002-May-01] EZ Danger Room gets custom character support

power effect and a minor tweak to Captain Atom.
[2002-Jun-22] A little update ...
I've released a couple of more hero recipes which you may soon be seeing in
action in a mod near you: Firestorm and Red Tornado! Plus, updated Captain America to use a custom power effect when throwing his
shield (supplied by SpiderWolf). I wish we could see more of these custom powers
like Thor's Hammer, Batarangs, etc.
[2002-Jun-24] JLA Mod announced
Not a real update, but some news you might find interesting. I have set up a
page announcing one of the mods I am working on, now that it's deep into
production. Hope you like it! Read all about it on my JLA

use the new "Kinetic Card" effect and gave that a sound as well.
