The premise of this contest is that over the next number of weeks we will build a team of superheroes and a team of villains. Each week I will supply you with a role, name, or list of powers of one of the team members and you will use HM3 to create the character. The winner each week will win a version of their character created on HM by yours truly.
NOTE: due to my vacation schedule this CDC will run for 2 weeks ending on July 21st

I kept this one fairly simple and strait forward;
MIRRORS
https://www.deviantart.com/steelgeneral2/art/Mirrors-804899342
This is my interpretation of Smoke. My character can turn blood cells into smoke and manipulate that smoke to do various things.

This is my interpretation of Mirrors. My character can turn into a reflective material and can produce mirrored shards and can throw or use them as weapons.

Here is my version of Mirrors. She is currently in the process of transforming into her glass form, so only half of her is such.

Smoke and Mirrors…..
Geoffrey Tyler and Angie DelBello toured the Vegas strip for years doing magic shows, but to no avail, never made it big. As hard as they tried, their act was received poorly and they were often booed off stage. With bills piling up, and fed up with the local patrons that could care less about them, they struck out on the road. At first they were met with good reviews, but that soon wasted away when some of the locals from Vegas started spreading nasty rumors and terrible reviews about them. They decided to do one last show before they were going to quit for good, but their last show was their worst. Booed off stage, and threatened, they were run out of the venue. While gathering their things, a shadowy, shystie man approached them. He offered them a deal…..agree to give him something of value, and he would grant them both the power to become great magicians. Not hesitating, they both agreed. Seconds later, with a great flash of light, and a eerie low rumble they were forever changed. They used their newfound powers to perform like never before…but why stop there they thought…they started using their powers to get what ever they wanted, what they believed they were owed…..
They became….Smoke and Mirrors
Smoke….
He can change the composition of his body from hard as steel, to as light as mist. Using his mist form he can pass through ant object, and also invade anyone and control them.

Mirrors….
She can turn her body to tempered mirrored glass. She is able to withstand gunfire, and extreme temperatures, and her silicate body can also change shape. Her outer layer of skin can form thick jagid armor like shards that are razor sharp. She can shoot glass shards from her hands, and also make unbreakable razor sharp glass weapons she can weild. She can also explode her outer layer of skin, sending deadly shards of glass in every direction.

I never could figure out a good design for Smoke, but I was able to update my design for Mirrors.
So please use this link/version instead: https://www.deviantart.com/nerd0and0proud/art/NerdAndProud-Mirrors-804990348
My version of mirrors uses blunt weapons made of glass, right now holding a staff. She is in the process of changing into mirror form, so only half of her body is glass. My version is also able to create blasts of glass shards by stomping on the ground, bursting out glass like a frozen wave. These can be seen by her feet. She continues to wear her magician’s assistant outfit from her old show, and sometimes uses it (and her body) to seduce, lure, and distract her targets.

Is he himself an illusion, or is he a metahuman?
