Figured I'd put this one under Superhero Movies and TV because this character has actually been portrayed live in both a movie and web series.

Florida-based comics publisher Terance Baker is the creator of many characters, but the best known one seems quite relevant to this board: a voluptuous and powerful black superheroine named Tasha Brown, aka the Pink Hammer.

Apparently, the origin story involves an alien giving her a pink hammer which imbues her with strength and speed and other powers.
She wears a very tight shiny pink spandex catsuit which is usually strategically unzipped quite a bit down the front.

Here is the backstory in Terance's own words from a post on his Facebook group: "Tasha Brown is a kind, compassionate and caring human being. She loses her entire family in a hurricaine. She loses everything of value and meaning, and even with all of her loss, she continues to give to others in need, that includes homeless, abused individuals, elderly and those in need. She then becomes the recipient of an alien spirit like force that is seeking to aide chosen female species on different planets during it's journey of the universe. Each woman is granted the power for a period of 50 years and has to choose the next one. She becomes the Pink Hammer and is granted enormous power which she then uses to continue to help people only now she can fight bad guys as well. I based the fundemantal creation of this character after the premise of my wife which is what I saw in her for many years which is a strong independent woman who is a survivor. Basically, I just turned my wife into a what she would be if she was a super hero. As of today this character has been featured in independent films by indy movie makers, she's been featured in numberous comicbook crossovers by creators, is on you tube, and has been cosplayed by numerous individuals. I'm pretty proud of the outcome."

Terance Baker has an enterprise called Baker Comics where he publishes the Pink Hammer comic.

There are several issues available from Indyplanet https://www.indyplanet.com/
(see the covers below) as well as a comic featuring fan art from other artists.

Baker also publishes a regular magazine called ICC (Independent Creators Connection) and offers it at Comicons and (I believe) through individual purchase (not sure if there is a subscription). http://independentcreatorsconnection.com/welcome/

Baker also runs a Facebook group also called Independent Creators Connection where comic book creators can post their
updates and news. He just recently posted something about Pink Hammer, so that character is definitely active.


Also part of the Pink Hammer legacy are at least two live-action portrayals of the character:

1) She is one of the 'champions' described by the character Omen (played by the now-deceased Nichelle Nichols) in the independent 2018 movie Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel produced and directed by filmmaker Mike Donahue, who has his own site for his 'Surge of Power' movies and productions (that deserves a separate thread). https://www.surgeofpower.org/

In this episode clip of Donahue's 'Big City Chronicles', Pink Hammer is depicted prominently and her background is described,
starting at 3:35. Pretty sure that the actress is Detria Baker (aka cosplayer Q T Pye), who is probably Terance's wife.

The 2018 movie 'Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel' can be watched here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODsGiFRfZf4

2) Independent filmmaker Alex Fernandez has produced a web sci-fi action series called 'Body Jumpers' (which features other lovely ladies in spandex, so that deserves its own thread as well) in which Pink Hammer makes a guest appearance.
According to IMDB, actress Parisse Daves plays Pink Hammer in Season 2 episodes 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 from 2014-15 (so, that was actually quite a while back). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3080836/

You can watch all of those Season 2 episodes here on this Youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... UP6TiaWJoG

3) Finally, there are cosplay appearances by Pink Hammer at some Comicons. Photos are below.

OK, I think that's enough Pink Hammer content to get you started. Enjoy!
