As Saturday was the 44th anniversary of the first moon landing, I thought that this weeks contest should be a celebration of that. So, what I want you to do is create the greatest space hero you can. I'm not looking for aliens here, I'm looking for human heroes. Think Green Lantern or Nova. You can go down the spacesuit route if you want or do explorers in their spaceship, what ever you want, just make it awesome.
Please make sure you have read the rules before entering. As usual, no limit on entries, so have fun and good luck.
Rules for posts, contests, and challenges that I am hosting: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warnings. Only post characters that you have either created for this contest specifically or you know for certain have never been entered to a contest before. If you aren’t certain, don’t enter it, because I’m not going to go back through all of the contests and check.
Alright, I’ll start us off with the intergalactic hero and captain of a sentient space ship, Damien Scott (Occasionally known as Voyager)

Cool! Kind of like Adam Strange, only with twice the rockets, and twice the Blaster pistols! 😉
Not really new – but certainly never been entered to a contest before:
Captain Adam Sterling was a young astronaut who set off to a risky reconnaissance mission on the dark side of the moon in 1985 and disappeared without a trace shortly after landing on its surface. Neither of him nor his spaceship was ever found a trace.
It was the year 2012, when they finally heard from him again.
When a group of astronauts pursued a signal on the moon that led them to the place where NASA last had contact with Adam, they discovered a cave that led deep below the surface of the moon. To their surprise, they found in this vault not only alien technology, but also the long lost spaceman, who hadn’t apparently aged a day and wore a strange space suit.
Imagine the even bigger surprise, when he greeted them with the words: “Was about time that you guys showed up here.”

Nice character; I especially like the logo.
I give you Mr Achilles, also known as Captain Earth, he is practically invincible on the outside, but on the inside is where the real damage can be done. When he was a child he had a debilitating disease that rendered his immune system practically useless, the experimental cure left his skin as tough as granite but his insides as soft as butter. Thus he prefers to spend his time in space where there is no air so little chance of any airborne pathogens killing him.

Sorry about the sides when I downloaded it, i did it as a widescreen to be sure I would get all of the picture, unfortunately you can see outside the original rectangle. Everything behind the stars should be black, just like space, heh.

I really like this one. It is clean, and simple, but that black, white and gray effect just makes it pop. Way cool!
An edited version of a failed attempt, its astro babe, fufilling all your space-babe needs.

Quetzalcoatl had returned before the invading armada. With few resources to protect the earth, he selected a champion. Israel de Hinojosa is the first human to join the ranks of the Mexica Celestial Guard.
