Fun Fact about the Jackal Squad: they were given their names by the white tips on their tails, Uno has 1 white tip at the end of his tail, duex has 2 white tips, trois has 3 tips on her tail, and Quatre has 4. at least that's what I heard
also 2 of the member of the squad (Trois and Quatre) names are in french ( If you knew this don't call me dumb for not knowing it I never learned or searched up words and numbers in french before until I discovered the jackal squad Ok......)
(1/2) some minor jackal squad redesigns (that i totally hadn’t forgotten about)—mainly just color changes bc it always bothered me they basically had the same color palette ??… I get there like super minor characters, but it always bothered me. aside from that, I just changed what type of jackal they are. Uno is a side striped jackal and deux is a black-back jackal.
Two messy-haired emo delinquent bullies, completely evil and objectively toxic, who the fangirls portray as being unable to control their evil actions, their canonical selfish pride and ignorance towards their "families" ignored, and their appearances in fics being redemption speedruns that end with them in a romance with one of the heroes - sometimes the very same hero who they canonically blame for all their suffering.
I am one of said fangirls, by the way. Even though I am a GNC boy.

For the Alt version: FeReinsm on Instagram: “Overhaul/update versions for one of my proudest works, a main cover art(?) for my lil’ project - Robotnik AU. For the 2nd and 4th pics…”
Here's some Jackal Squad ref sheets I made for them while Im still trying to think up some ideas for comics.
I know they apparently are named after numbers but i think those are just code names. Here are the names that I've come up with for them
Uno - Ace
Trois - Damira "Tempest"
Duex - Barron
Quatre - Quinn
Personal head cannons for their roles in the squad:
Ace is the wild card of the group, Damira is an ex- helicopter pilot (hence her other name "Tempest"), Barron Is a Boxer/wrestler and Quinn Is the Weapons engineer
There will be much more Jackal Squad brain rot because honestly they deserve so much more than off screen deaths :(
Sonic and pokemon crossover. And I gave this underappreciated Jackal some love. Also most of the pokemon are named after his old squad. In this AU his team was killed by rampaging pokemon that were scared off or in a panic state due to Eggman's new test project, a Paradox pokemon. Only three of the pokemon made it, Zorro was thankfully able to help get Zero up to higher ground, Trois became a ghost type after the rampage as a Zorua, and Cin was released before the tragedy. While brought to sorrow and grief, Zero made a promise to build a team that reminds him of those who were lost, and won't ever let that happen ever again. The other pokemon who came to the squad have their own stories in how they became part of the team.
BAFTA Award-winning director of Top Gear Brian Klein last year proved that he is also an A-list author, with acclaimed political thriller The Counterfeit Candidate. Now, by popular demand, he has returned with a sequel, and another high-octane masterpiece: The Führer's Prophecy. Strap yourself in for a dramatic race against time to prevent the descendent of Adolf Hitler fulfilling the Nazi leader’s heinous plans for annihilation.
Buckle up, for new novel The Führer's Prophecy by Brian Klein is a page turner that is impossible to put down till the very end.
A thrilling and dangerous ‘What If?’ thriller, it follows on from the astounding success of Klein’s debut novel, 2021’s The Counterfeit Candidate – which has been hailed as an instant classic in the genre, becoming an Amazon bestseller with more than 60,000 sales to-date and thousands of five-star reviews.
Tantalising and gripping, The Counterfeit Candidate perfectly wove fact and fiction together into a high-concept, non-stop thrill ride which cleverly riffed on one of the world’s greatest conspiracy theories: that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler did not end his life in a Berlin bunker at the end of World War Two but instead fled to Argentina where he sired a family to, one day, realise his despicable plans.
The book received rave reviews from critics and fans alike, including among them some of the UK’s biggest celebrities including Jeremy Clarkson, Jamie Redknapp, Romesh Ranganathan and noted crime fiction author Peter James, who declared it “The best ‘what if?’ thriller I’ve read since Day of the Jackal”.
It’s no surprise, then, to learn that the novel is currently being adapted for TV but, in the meantime, its countless admirers have got their wish for a stunning sequel, which forms the second part of Klein’s ‘The Reich Trilogy’.
Set 10 years after the events of The Counterfeit Candidate, The Führer's Prophecy takes place during a time of global crises, when the Covid pandemic has swept across the planet and led all nations into lockdown.
The timing couldn’t be better for disgraced politician John George Franklin, who was revealed to be Hitler’s grandson in the previous novel.
Last time, he was narrowly prevented from reaching the White House by the combined forces of Lieutenant Troy Hembury of the LAPD and Chief Inspector Nicholas Vargas of the Buenos Aires Police Department.
When the dust cleared, he was presumed dead, but we quickly come to learn he’s still alive, and still intent on making the Nazi nightmare a horrifying reality.
We all know that one of Hitler’s most grotesque goals was seeking the extermination of the Jewish race.
What few know, however, is that he first aired this sick goal during a speech at the Reichstag in January 1939, later dubbed the ‘Führer's Prophecy’.
In the novel, which gets its title from this event, Franklin emerges from the shadows to fulfil that prophecy, with a plan as bold as it is deranged.
Being heir to pharmaceutical company Franklin Pharmaceutical Corporation, originally established by his infamous ancestor while hiding out in Argentina, Franklin he is able to create a super drug which causes female infertility.
Like its predecessor, The Counterfeit Candidate, The Führer's Prophecy by Brian Klein is a page turner that is impossible to put down till the very end.
His objective is to enter Israel and lace the water supply with this drug in a bid to kill off the Jewish people within the space of a few generations.
His fiendish masterplan is elaborate and needs the help of shady and murderous characters just as sick as he, such as feared terrorist Matias Paz, commonly known as ‘Black Scorpion’, and ruthless Taliban killers in Afghanistan.
Remarkably – and this is fact – the US military abandoned a number of Black Hawk helicopters in Afghanistan after their withdrawal and these were claimed by the Taliban.
In the story, Franklin gets his murderous hands on these to bust Black Scorpion out of a high-security prison in Argentina, in an audacious set-piece that’s alone worth the price of the ticket.
As he gets ever closer to releasing the super drug, the action moves to the Middle East, where the Taliban and Israeli secret police, Mossad, clash.
Ch Insp Vargas and Lt. Troy Hembury, joining together once again, are leading the counter-intelligence surveillance.
Despite their dogged investigations, they are always frustratingly one move behind Franklin as they seek to uncover the sinister scheme.
But as the body count rises, they are only ones who can locate the terrorists and bring Franklin down before it’s too late.
If you are new to the writing of Brian Klein then be ready for an action-packed, whirlwind-paced political thriller that holds nothing back.
A BAFTA Award-winning TV director, whose many credits include 28 series of Top Gear and seven series of Sky Max’s most-popular entertainment show League of Their Own Roadtrip, he has proven time and again that he has the nous to make electrifying entertainment.
The Führer's Prophecy benefits from all his skills behind the camera, making for pure blockbuster cinema on the printed page.
These were already on full display in his first novel, but the sequel is, arguably, even better than the first.
While The Counterfeit Candidate had foundational work to put in place, this time the plot and characters can jump straight onto the rollercoaster that is this arresting, world-spanning story of biological terror.
The storyline zips around the planet with more gusto than Michael Palin, transporting readers to the deserts of Iran, South America, the high seas, and, of course, Israel.
It also zips through time as Klein tells through judicious use of flashback how Hitler’s plans were tested out in Auschwitz, the notorious concentration camp where Nazi physician Josef Mengele perverted medical science with his experiments on helpless captives.
BAFTA Award-winning director Brian Klein has already made his mark in television. Now he’s doing the same in the literary world, with not one but two thriller masterpieces to his name. Here, he is pictured with Top Gear icon The Stig.
Far from taking the reader away from the dynamic story, they help cement it in the mind as a realistic, deep-rooted threat, as well as reminding us just what atrocities Hitler and his cronies were capable of.
Once more, Klein brings together the perfect cast for his novel and provides just the right amount of background and description to get readers invested.
Nicolas Vargas, for instance, has a score to settle with Black Scorpion, who almost killed him once before.
Troy Hembury, meanwhile, should by now be retired from service but is drawn into this case despite suffering from poor health.
Their frailties and inner demons, as well as their lasting friendship, adds an extra dimension to proceedings.
You have a blast of a read waiting for you, and one that every thriller fan should consider an essential purchase.

Marvel Worlds project plan - Spider-Man: Parker Industries (Vol. 1)
This series is not an assured project. It is a concept that can still be changed or scrapped.
Synopsis
Having been Spider-Man since highschool, Peter has endured so many issues involved with keeping track of two separate lives. Now he has the chance to slowly step away and embrace being Peter Parker, CEO of the up and coming Parker Industries. However, he is pulled into a clone plot and must face a foe dubbed the "Superior Spider-Man." Will he and his friends be enough to stop him?
Characters
Peter Parker/Spider-Man - The friendly, web-slinging hero of Manhattan for several years. He began his business "Parker Industries" with some of his aid from his friends. With his important work schedule, he is semi-retired. If the situation is dire enough, he will come out to fight.
Miles Morales/Spider-Man - A "Spider-Man in training" who will soon take over his responsibilities as a crimefighter when Peter retires from the role. He protects the city while Peter is working at his job.
Gwen Stacy/Ghost-Spider - Another spider-themed vigilante with spider powers. She works for Peter at Parker Industries. As Ghost-Spider, she helps Peter and Miles fight crime.
Troy Stone - The CEO of Alchemax and corporate rival of Peter Parker. He has no sense of morality and will do anything for money. His cloning project is to create genetically-engineered spider soldiers to sell to the highest bidder.
Professor Warren - An expert in cloning and genetic engineering. He secretly works for Troy Stone while being wanted by authorities for his past as the villain Jackal.
SM-144/Kaine - A flawed clone with a scarred face. He has a darker personality than his fellow clones.
SM-163/Carmilla/Scorpion - A twisted clone with a fault in her chromosomes, resulting in her female gender. She was outfitted with armor like Scorpion's.
SM-171/Teresa/Spider-Girl - A clone with a fault in her chromosomes. Her personality is similar to Peter's.
SM-199/Ben - A perfected clone with enhanced intelligence.
SM-200/Superior Spider-Man - Dubbed the "perfect clone" by Warren, it is said to have greater power than the original Spider-Man. Its personality is vastly different from Peter's.
Charlene "Charlie" Roday - A employee at Parker Industries with a robotic prosthetic right hand.
James "Jim" Germanson - Gwen Stacy's boyfriend.
Other Information
Superior Spider-Man is different from his comic book counterpart and does NOT possess the mind of Doctor Octopus. In fact, all I will say is that this version was inspired from watching Invincible.
SHARE AT LEAST FIVE SONGS THAT REMIND YOU OF YOUR MUSE, OR THAT YOU ASSOCIATE WITH YOUR MUSE’S CHARACTER ARC. Including lyrics is optional.
i have idk like 6 playlist for amelia, but my main one for her has almost 100 songs because i have a problem. so i guess i’ll just list songs i’m currently vibing with the most
stronger than a lion - delta rae
oh yeah, you want to drag me down / i'm stronger than a lion when the jackals come around / you may think i'm weak, that my heart beats faint / but you shouldn't judge an engine by the car's ripped paint / baby, i'm a fighter in the robes of a saint / pull me through your fire, but i feel no pain / i'll be a survivor when i rise from the flames
daughter - sleeping at last
the sunlight shines a little brighter / the weight of the world's a little lighter / the stars lean in a little closer / all because of you […] this is your kingdom / this is your crown/ this is your story / this is your moment / don't look down / you're ready, born ready
all-american bitch - olivia rodrigo
and i make light of the darkness / i've got sun in my motherfucking pocket, best believe […] i am light as a feather / i'm as fresh as the air / coca-cola bottles that i only use to curl my hair / i got class and integrity / just like a goddamn kennedy / i swear / with love to spare […] i don't get angry when i'm pissed / i'm the eternal optimist / i scream inside to deal with it […] i'm sexy and i'm kind / i'm pretty when i cry
you're on your kid - taylor swift (this is more specifically tied to amelia queen’s arc)
from sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes / i gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this / i hosted parties and starved my body / like i'd be saved by a perfect kiss / the jokes weren't funny, i took the money / my friends from home don't know what to say / i looked around in a blood-soaked gown / and i saw something they can't take away / 'cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned / everything you lose is a step you take / so make the friendship bracelets / take the moment and taste it / you've got no reason to be afraid / you're on your own, kid / yeah, you can face this / you're on your own, kid / you always have been
history of man - maisie peters (again a song tied to amelia’s queen arc)
you didn't even falter / didn't look back once, did you? / so samson blamed delilah, but given half the chance i / i would have made him weaker too / sirens sounded, trumpets blaring / you walked out oh, without sweating […] the men start wars yet troy hates helen / women's hearts are lethal weapons / did you hold mine and feel threatened? / hear my lyrics, taste my venom […] i've seen it, in the poems and the sands / i've pleaded, with the powers and their plans
i hope you dance - lee ann womack
i hope you never lose your sense of wonder, / you get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger, / may you never take one single breath for granted, / god forbid love ever leave you empty handed, / i hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, / whenever one door closes i hope one more opens, / promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, / and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. / i hope you dance… i hope you dance… / i hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, / never settle for the path of least resistance, / livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin', / lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin', / don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter, / when you come close to sellin' out reconsider, / give the heavens above more than just a passing glance, / and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance./ i hope you dance
