Horus? (Blue King comics for those who don't know).

Fine, then Apex.

He's more than earned his chops.

I couldn't agree more.

..Interesting...Interesting....

I'll have to wait for this comp to see...

Im thinking some sort of super powered child mutated by some infected bacon xD

I'll be very surprised if a non-generic tights+cape wins this. I mean, trends aside they need to fill their flying brick character role.

Oh, and I'd hope to see a bit more diversity. The team has 6 'guys,' and 6 caucasians. Mix it up a little. A Latina, or someone of Middle Eastern, or East Asian descent. (But only if they can write these characters as people, not stereotypes) Somebody who brings a new perspective to the team. Hey, an alien would be cool. An alien could be used to bounce the whole developing/deepening understanding of how aliens relate to paragon city, especially with the rikti revelations in mind. It could be used to differentiate between the good, bad and grey areas of those fighting against alien outsiders.
truthfully with thoughts like this, I start to wonder if it'll even be a contest at all now.

Judge1: Okay first thing first, we throw out all caucassions and males*

Judge2: What about non caucassion males?

Judge3: Throw them out as well.

Judge2: Okay!

And sadly, with some of the posts I've seen in this thread...I just don't know if it's really a contest anymore :/

I might throw a character into the ring for this.

I have several villains who've saved the world more times than the Freedom Phalanx put together. Do they qualify?

When you say that, do you really mean that, instead of going outside and doing evil, they decided to stay home and have Indian take-out?

I wish.

Sadly, it's more like the heroes are staying home on the couch while the rest of us have to go earn yet another "Saved the World" badge.

If I were drafting the rules for this, I'd go thusly:

1. Nothing offensive or copyrighted, obviously.
2. Nothing stupid or comic relief, at least not primarily.
3. No pre-existing player characters. This has to be a brand new creation.
4. No limitation on what the Freedom Phalanx has now, excluding direct or close copies of existing members. No BABs twin brother.

I keep thinking it might be a good idea to add an alien of some sort. Maybe Rikti, maybe Kheldian, maybe something brand new. Maybe even Batallion, why not? Or if we want to be interesting, why not a monster type thing? There are lot of weird bug things in Dark Astoria, it looks like, so why not have one of these that looks horrid but is actually nice and intelligent?

I'm looking for something new, unusual and interesting. It would be a grave disappointment if we just add in another tights-and-full-mask flying brick.

Anchor, I cannot thank you enough for sharing this. I'd never read it before. I shall not forget it either! I laughed so hard I cried. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

So...was Ascendent able to get the Saul to use the proper name for his hideout or is A-Hole stuck forever? BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey, Quantumshock has the hots for Flambeaux. He's taken her out on a couple of dates. He's hoping the two of them can become serious. He's a sucker for redheads....lol
