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.
Your challenge this week is to design the speedster member of the hero squad - Virgilio Velasquez – aka Veloz. Despite being able to run at supersonic speeds, his greatest strength might be his agility and acrobatic skill. A native of Mexico City, he spent his early years among the ranks of the Lucha Libre but eventually left that life to find greater challenges. He soon became a parkour legend throughout Mexico and the southern states before Ages offered him a true challenge; joining he and his young team in their battle for justice.

My take on Veloz: https://www.deviantart.com/art/Veloz-751352457
Also, there was a luchador called Murciélago Velázquez (real name Jesús Velázquez Quintero). Just wondering if Virgilio’s surname was from that or if it’s just a coincidence.

Took Color and costume inspiration from mexico and luchadors, and due to his young age still doesn’t understand, despite designing his costume to be flexible and aerodynamic that the cape inst practical lol.
Xinmodic, clearly, Edna hasn’t had the talk with him, yet… {“No Capes, Darling!”} 😀
RobM, I think I like yours the best (so far)! Small image, but great background, scenery, and special effects!
