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.

This week we move onto the hero that is the master of light and dark - Awe.

Real Name: Rick Mitchell

Age:34 – admits to 28

Planet of origin: Earth

Powers: Rick originally teamed up with his twin brother while in his early twenties. Together they formed the crime fighting duo Shock and Awe. Rick has the ability to absorb light from any natural or manmade source – everything from a table lamp to the sun itself – and harness it into blinding and destructive light displays that can level a building. He also has the ability to not only bend light, but to absorb and emit all sources of light, turning day into night and night into day. He has an intense ego – often referring to himself as “Fan Fave”. His fellow heroes tolerate him.

Great job again this week guys. Some very creative takes on the character, in both the art and those who expanded on the backstory.

Honourable mention this week goes to Kellkin.

Great light effects, although the costume itself is a tad predictable. Just my opinion.

Runner up is Forgiven Monster

Great pose and use of items, and the non costume as costume I really appreciate.

And the win this week goes to...

This week we move onto the electrifying villain - Shock.

Real Name: Ryan Mitchell

Age:34

Planet of origin: Earth

Powers: Ryan originally teamed up with his twin brother while in his early twenties. Together they formed the crime fighting duo Shock and Awe. Unlike his twin brother (who can control light and create blinding displays) Shock can control and draw power from any electrical source and turn them into devastating impulse blasts. It is unknown what caused the rift between the two – although rumours abound – but what is certain is that Shock’s dedication to Invidia is intense and dangerous to anyone who attempts her harm.

Sorry for the late posting of last week's results, but he entries were all so good that I needed to sit and think a spell.

Honourable mention goes to Atomic Punk for the great back story that was submitted as part of the entry While brief I found it quite engaging, and the idea of a weakened Sunspot seeking out Invidia opens up so many story possibilities. Well done you!

Runner up this week goes to ForgivenMonster. Great pose (as usual) and a nice attempt at the molten quality of her skin.

And the win this week goes to ...

This week we move onto the female known as Halo of the hero team.

Peal Name: Natalia Chong Tai

Age:24

Planet of origin: Mars – Natalia is a first generation martian, born mere minutes after her earthling parents touched down as part of long term scientific expedition.

Powers: Natalia’s grandmother gifted her a very precious item the day her parents left for Mars. As she kissed her daughter goodbye, she pressed the ancient Jamaican Moonstone pendant into her daughter’s hand and whispered gently “She will know”. The Moonstone not only powers  Natalia with flight but it also allows her to cast a halo of protection around herself or others
