Disney Destiny League Bio - Lord Eigore

Well I think we all had enough of The Destiny League for A great while,so why don't we focus on their Evil Arch-Foes for a while? Let's talk about The Malace Kingdom shall We? For those not in the know,the Malace Kingdom are the 1st set of Villians that the Destiny League tangle with. They comprise of: The Bogus Brothers(Ehn,Jhay,khey) aka Sentai From Hell,Mystica Alyxia the Wizard,Lady Virus the Vain and Egotistical Knight who sings (badly),Zerk and Erodie the Annoying Twins and Professional Toadies,and finally,Lord Eigore the Evil Master Mind behind it all.

Today we take a look at Lord Eigore. Well,let's not waste any time.


Background: Eigore grew up on Planet Diz and his family was one of the very few "human" families on the planet (which was 80% anthropormorphic animals). During his childhood,he quickly learned how to be sneaky and decietful from Satan himself(satan NOT chernabog,he's satan's underling). Other than this,not much is known about his childhood.  In Adult Hood,Eigore,via deception and cheating,gained a position as King Mickey II's #2,though his son Mikey,saw right through him. When The King Died,his son became the King of Planet Diz. The 1st thing the new King Did was banish Eigore,before he had a chance to cause a coup. Eigore was banished into the Island of the Fallen,where he meets up with Satan,who gives him the power to create his own army and minions,so that he can take over the Planet. After creating his army and minions,Eigore returns to the Kingdom to start a War. The War was chaotic and..Eigore's forces won. After killing The King(or so they thought they did),Eigore renames Planet Diz,Planet Malace and the Kingdom,The Malace Kingdom. Under Eigore's rule,the Planet became a cesspool of Ignorance and Greed...not to mention Bad Music. A month after his Conquest,Eigore decides to conquer more planets..starting with Earth.

Appearance And Gear: A fair skinned human with short black hair. He currently wears a black robe,with blue armor under it. He has a Staff that can create life..artificial life,but life nevertheless.

Personality: He's an egomaniac who greedy and selfish and racist and money-hungry and close-minded and ruthless and deciteful and creative challenged.


Sidestory: Eigore decides to conquer Earth and leaves the decimated Planet Diz for it. When he comes to Earth,he is opposed by the newly formed hero group,The Destiny League. Now,The Malace Kingdom and the Destiny League are battling for the fate of both Earth and Universe.

That does it for this Bio. So for now,The Villians will be the focus of these Bios,starting with the Malace Kingdom.

See you next time with more epicness from The ACF. See Ya Space Cowboy.

ABC Family: What Should Have Been

ABC Family was a network heart and soul. And when Disney bought it,it became a network of awesome possibilities. Sadly,thanks to Bob Iger and Anne Sweeney (and the brainless ben sherwood) ABC Family has become an absolute nightmare. Let's take a trip back,to the networks humble beginning.


The Family Channel launched on April 29, 1977, as the CBN Satellite Service, an arm of Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), which focused mainly on religious programming. The channel was notable for being one of the first cable channels to distribute its signal nationally through satellite transmission (a method that HBO had first pioneered in September 1975).

The channel's name was later changed to the CBN Cable Network in September 1981. Around this time, the channel adopted a more secular programming format featuring a mix of recent and classic family-oriented series and films, while retaining some religious programs. 

On August 1, 1988, the word "Family" was incorporated into the channel's name to better reflect its format, rebranding as The CBN Family Channel. By 1990, the network had grown too profitable to remain under the CBN banner without endangering CBN's non-profit status. 

Ok,so the Networks beginnings were less than stellar,but they Did get better...at least,for a while.

Anyway,The name was changed to simply The Family Channel on September 15, 1990.

As The Family Channel, it did better. The Family Channel started airing television shows for preschool children, pre-teens, and teenagers to target all members of the family. They even aired old cartoons,including ones that aired on NBC's Saturday Morning block. Sweetness!

 During this time, from 1994 to 1997, The Family Channel sponsored NASCAR Winston Cup Series driver Ted Musgrave in the #16 Ford Thunderbird for Roush Racing.

In 1997, CBN put The Family Channel up for sale. News Corporation entered into discussions to purchase a stake in The Family Channel with CBN as a partner, in order to use the channel to carry the library of children's programs that News Corporation had owned through Saban Entertainment.

That June,The Network was purchased by Fox Kids Worldwide Inc., a joint venture between News Corporation and Saban Entertainment.

The Family Channel was officially renamed Fox Family Channel on August 15, 1998. With the change in ownership, Fox Family's operations were also migrated from Virginia Beach, Virginia (which is CBN headquarters) to News Corporation's other cable channels in Los Angeles.

Following the sale to Fox/Saban, The 700 Club (CBN's flagship show) was scaled back to two airings a day (per the sale agreement),once in the morning and another late night.  More cartoons were added to the channel's lineup, many of which were from the Fox Kids program library, with about eight hours of cartoons airing each day.

SCORE!!!!!!!

However, Fox Family also became a cornerstone for syndicating foreign television series, such as the popular British S Club 7 television series, which became the flagship series for the channel until the early 2000s.

The channel,unfortunately,also aired many Canadian series. Shameful! They also aired Mega Man The Animated Series. Cool.

As stated earlier,The channel aired reruns of some Fox Kids series,but added some recent family sitcoms as well. The new schedule also included reruns of Pee-wee's Playhouse, which had not been seen on television since 1991, when CBS pulled reruns of the series from its Saturday morning lineup following Paul Reubens' arrest for indecent exposure at a pornographic movie theater in Sarasota, Florida. Pitiful,Pee Wee,Pitiful!

In 1998,The Network sought a new dual audience – kids in daytime, families at night.(just like Discovery Family,but unlike Those jokers,Fox Family did things the right way)

In 1999, Fox spun off two digital cable channels from Fox Family, the Boyz Channel (for boys) and the Girlz Channel (for girls). However,these 2 Networks didn't last long, due to a lack popularity and the controversy that developed over the gender-segregated channels.
 
In 2000,Fox Family ultimately saw its overall viewership slide. This was a result of an increasingly competitive race for younger viewers and the bickering over ownership between News Corporation and Haim Saban. Some observers believe that it chased away some of the older viewers and never really replaced the core audience. They may be right.

It was also rumored that Fox hired more employees than needed, and when Disney took over, as many as 500 were laid off. Fox Family also used many freelancers for certain aspects of the channel, such as its short-lived "Block Jocks" (which were on-air hosts that the channel hired to present the channel's afternoon children's programs). Most of the monikers for the network were created by freelance artists.

But that didn't matter to us viewers,the Network was Still fun to watch.

In October 2001,Fox Family was sold to The Walt Disney Company. The sale to The Walt Disney Company included ownership of Saban Entertainment. The network was officially renamed ABC Family a month later.

The channel's sale to Disney was considered one of the biggest mistakes or problems occurring during the tenure of company president Michael Eisner (oh,if they only knew that things would only get way worse years later).

The failure was primarily due to the acquisition being conducted without consulting anyone at ABC. The original plan was to use the channel to essentially show reruns of Old ABC programming, but this plan was impossible,as ABC did not own the rights to the majority of its own programs, only having rights to those that were produced by Disney Television and Touchstone Television.

During this time, the channel did air repeats of Alias, Less Than Perfect and Life with Bonnie, almost all of which were Touchstone Television productions. But in trying to change the focus of the channel, Disney also canceled several Fox Family series and cut back on the network's made-for-cable movies.

Ratings tumbled further as the network became dependent on syndicated reruns and had no original programs on its schedule (save for original wraparound segments that aired around repeats of The Bachelor, and children's programming). I call Bullshit on this,The Network was still good and still well watched. 

The next major plan was to reposition the channel to market it to college students, young women, or to a more "hip" audience under the name "XYZ," a reverse reference to ABC. However, Disney discovered that the original sale from CBN contained a stipulation that the channel contain the word "Family" in the name permanently, regardless as to who owns the network.

Legally, this meant that Disney would have had to shut down Fox Family and create XYZ as an entirely new network. Since this would have canceled all of Fox Family's carriage contracts,XYZ was turned into a Program Block instead. The block was short lived.

Since 2003, ABC Family has been producing more quality questionable original movies and series. Questionable Indeed!

For the record,the contract with CBN was re-newed,so The 700 Club remained in it's Morning and Nightly time-slots on Weekdays. Also,CBN was allowed to create a half-hour show every weekday morning. Thankfully,as usual,CBN's shows didn't hurt the Network that much. And in 2005,Disney added a "warning" disclaimer before and after every airing of CBN programming. Smart Move,Big D.

Well,long story short,in 2007/2008 the network turned to crap and has remained that way ever since. what a waste!

Today,ABC Family is now a Network for Stupid Women and Ignorant Teen Girls. In addition to the retarded shows that they air now,they also air the overrated garbage movies way too much.I'm sick of it. And it's all because of That Retard Goddess,Anne Sweeney,who's horrid legacy continues today though Ben Sherwood.

It's now time to once again take a look into what Should have Been.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What Should've Been: This change Never happens and ABC Family Stays a Family Network. Plus,awesome shows and movies are made for the Network. All with the General Public in mind.

What Should've Been: The HP Weekend marathon airs only twice a year.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I stated earlier,If it wasn't for Anne Sweeney and Bob Iger,ABC Family would've been good.

That's it for now. See Ya,Space Cowboy.

Disney Destiny League Bio - Rayjin (Disney Animated Canon)

Before I begin with this Bio,I have a small message:

Ben Sherwood is a Brainless Asshole!

Now,back to our Bio!

Background: Rayjin is the 2nd son of God,and the last one born from the same Ophanim as his Elder Brother,Eisneroth. The Orphanim in question turned on God,by joining Lucifer's rebellion. But We'll talk about that another time. Rayjin was chosen by his father to be Guardian of Earth. As Guardian,it's Rayjin's job to indirectly protect the world by organising Heroes and other Do-Gooders..or atleast warn them about the evils that await them. As of late,Rayjin has aided the Destiny League in the battle against evil..especially The Malace Kingdom and it's Ruler,Eigore.

Appearance And Gear: A tall silver haired sage wearing blue boots and a blue hooded robe. In his battle gear,he sheds his robe to reveal a white sleeveless shirt,baggy ninja-like pants,blue boots,blue arm bands,and a blue sash. In both of these forms he is pupeless and wields a staff. In his Hyper Form,Rayjin has spikey animesque silver hair,gains a yellow scarf,a blue bodysuit,and white gloves. He also gains a silver sword and a visor. Being the Son of God,Rayjin has almost unlimited power and immortality. He can teleport himself and others,use telepathy,and cryogenecly freeze people. He's also a master warrior.

Personality: Rayjin is a serious guy,who always focuses on his job. He is wise and powerful and will always be honest about his opinions. He does,however,have a bit of a sence of humor.

Sidestory: Feeling that the various heroes of the past could be useful in the future,Rayjin cryogenetically freezes them. And When The Malace Kingdom invades Earth in 2050,Rayjin unfreezes the heroes and makes them into a team. After training them,he sends them into battle. Whenever an Ultimate Crisis arises,Rayjin himself jumps into battle. And when things really get tough Rayjin unleashes his Hyper Mode.

And that is Rayjin in nutshell. Now keep in mind,This version is From the Disney Animated Canon and Not The 2nd Animated Canon (aka the television canon,where the shego series takes place)

See you next time with another Destiny League character bio. See Ya Space Cowboy.
