Your Pop Quiz challenge this time around is to visit the Superhero Name Generator in the link below, and have it generate a random name of neutral gender and create a kick @$$ hero or villain based on the result.
Be sure to either copy the link to your character name, or screen cap the result, and add it to your post so we can see the name and bio you were given. Entries without the link or screen cap will be disqualified.
Just a warning: some of the random names are pretty…out there.
I encourage everyone to use the first random result they get, and while I cannot control your minds…yet…that just adds to the challenge.

There is no prize. There is no poll. The winner is chosen by me.
You only get one entry so be creative, and above all else, have fun!
All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like the HeroMachine forums,ImageShack, PhotoBucket, or whatever);
- Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
- The image must be new and designed specifically for the Pop Quiz;
- No copyrighted characters please – they will be deleted.
- Please name your filesas [your name]-[character name].[file extension] before you upload it. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his “Bayou Belle” character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
- Please make the link go directly to the image(like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). See this post on how to get the direct link for most sites.
This contest will close at 6pm Eastern on Sunday, August 23rd.

Vampyrist, that text box is WAY too small to read…
This might sound stupid considering how long I’ve been here, but…what’s a Pop Quiz? Never done one, and never really looked at one, so I don’t really know what this whole thing is for. Also, what do you mean a link directly to the image and name?
Pop Quizzes used to run weekly. Jeff started them I believe. When I was added as a moderator I took them over. Basically it is a design challenge with a very short turn around time: used to be 24 hours…I extended it to 36. The point, I imagine, was and is to challenge you to come up with and post a creation (with a limited time window) based on a theme. The “link directly” thing is what you already do; post to the forums, deviantart, photobucket etc, open the image and copy and paste the link in your post. So just enter the way you always have.
My superhero name is: Professor IceYou were an astronaut, exposed to space in a near-fatal accident! Now, strange cosmic rays have transformed you, giving you a new and superhuman ability that is both exciting and frightening!Generating and Controlling Ice – Your powers mean you can generate and control ice – whether it’s blasts of super-chilled air, walls of solid ice, freezing your enemies solid, or simply making sure you’re never without a chilled drink.Now, you protect Cleveland, Ohio from experimental street theatre, while also battling the evil plans of Anne of Crimson Gables!Get your own superhero name from the superhero name generator!

Willypete, you’re right. For some reason, when I copied the image URL, it copied the small version. I caught it for the main image, but missed it for the info. Here is the correctly sized info.
