A henshin-hero team, the Zenerengers , appears out of nowhere and stands dedicated to stopping these malevolent machines -- but what is their true intent? He's also revealed to be part of the Vatican's combat exorcist program, though he may have retired from that.

There are also two webcomic spinoffs of the series, Kamen America: The Web Series and Kamen Academy , and some Japanese doujinshi .Big Bad Friend: Vicki, Carly's best friend since childhood, is revealed to be the villainous Vermillion Masquerade, the arc villain for the first four issues.

After turning down her future prospects with her media rep, Carly Vanders is working tirelessly to promote her fashion brand and living up to her superheroic persona while suffering a daily barrage of media smear pieces. Good thing, too, because enormous monsters start springing up across the country, and her agency isn't about to let this crisis go to waste.

Mark Pellegrini is a prolific comic author, having written the best-selling tokusatsu superhero send-up series KAMEN AMERICA, the war-action-rabbit series BLACK HOPS: U. The heroes are generally able to stop and even redeem the villains without having to make moral compromises. Fanservice: Carly herself is this; she is conventionally attractive and often fights in a Leotard of Power.

Sylvia also develops these after spending long periods of time wearing a suit of powered armor that had radioactive particles in it. When are people going to learn that a good political story comes from the writing and not from how hard you 'own' the other side. Animesque: While the main comic is not a Japanese Manga, its artstyle invokes Manga and Anime designs as per the page's cover image just as much as it does from western superhero comics. It's one thing to summarize this breath of fresh air of a comic, and entirely another to read it for yourself. During a USO performance for American troops, she's hit by irradiated space debris and given incredible powers.Eventually, he expanded his portfolio to include an array of diverse freelance projects: comic book covers for IDW, pinups featured in art books by UDON, and even plush toy designs for Squishable. Shedding her corporate and media overlords and imbued with the American spirit of self reliance and self determination, she is the patriotic paladin now known as KAMEN AMERICA! Both fan and official art produced by the comic's Japanese audiences as well as additional promotional media made by Japan therefore looks indistinguishable from how the main comic is drawn.

Sylvia turns down the opportunity to usurp Carly's superhero identity, stating that the identity of 'Kamen America' isn't defined by a uniform or set of powers. As they get closer to figuring out the secret identity of Vermillion Masquerade, the stakes are raised as the danger may be a lot more familiar to the team than they expected! As Carly and the Kamen Corps rise to newfound respect and fame, giant robots start appearing and wreaking havoc across the globe.Addiction-Powered: Downplayed, but Kimiko reveals that her water-based powers can work on the water in alcohol too. Rebranding herself as a bona fide, super-charged henshin heroine, she humbly discovers that sometimes doing what’s right isn’t always what’s fashionable, as she fights the forces of evil as the Patriotic Paladin known as KAMEN AMERICA!
