As I have looked through my box of Heroclix awaiting modification, there was a figure that just kept on telling me how much it wanted a steampunk make over. It happened to be Dr. Light. Like many of the figures in the box, I had never heard of this character. Apparently, this one is a villain. Must be the goatee that clinches it, I'm pretty sure it was the main inspiration for a steampunk look.

This doctor is more geared toward controlling electricity. The right hand holds an energy collection staff, the purpose of which is to attract electrical energy from his surroundings (the air, the ground, whatever) and channel it through the heavy wire to the energy amplification device on his back. The left hand is a kind of power glove used to project the electrical energy.
Other notable parts of this mod are the removal of the original cape which is replaced by the vest, which appears to be a tailed jacket with the sleeves removed, and the amplifier. Did quite a bit of shaving down of the original's arms and legs. Cut off the top half of the original's head, to be replaced by goggles and bowler hat, also adding bumpies on the back of the head for hair.
Paints, of course, were the paint-by-numbers left-overs on top of Army Painter black primer.
