Riffing off the RPG Corner topic today, I give you Clark Kent, Paladin:
Note that the armor design is a direct rip-off of this AD&D illustration. Apologies to WotC!
Edited to Add: And here it is in color, by request in the comments.

Your buddy who usually runs your gaming group calls you to pitch a new idea for the group:
The Justice League as played in D&D (any version)!
How would you assemble the team? How would you build them, in terms of class, alignment, race, etc., using only the rules for the edition you choose? Which JL members would complete your roster for your adventuring party of, say, 4-6 players? Would you start everyone at Level 1, or would you prefer to get as close as possible to the regular incarnations of the characters and start them out at various levels? What kind of equipment would you use to help replicate their powers?
And most importantly of all, would Robin be a Henchman?
I'd love to hear what you'd do with that scenario, other than hanging up on your buddy the DM!

If you haven't seen it yet, Entertainment Weekly features a still of Ryan Reynolds (?!) in the Green Lantern costume from the upcoming movie:
Can't say I'm a huge fan of the glowing muscle ligature in the design, but as always you have to see it in action first. And that looks more like a Photoshopped head on a CGI body rather than an actual photograph, but what do I know -- not only did I not know Ryan Reynolds had been cast, I didn't even know there was a movie coming up. Ignorance is bliss, I reckon.
Thoughts?

While rifling through old directories on the hard drive for a separate UGO request, I realized I have an awful lot of old drawings in Flash that could be used in HeroMachine 3. So I put together a "Companions-Humanoids" set for you:
I would imagine some of these can have other items applied to them for further customization, or you can just leave them as-is. For instance, with just a little positioning and scaling and layering you could do this "Charlie's Angels" remix:
Some of these are prizes from back when you got a custom illustration; if one is yours and you don't want it in HM3, just let me know.

On a dare, Hammerknight can show you how to make your own toilet in HeroMachine 3:
I can't decide what's more alarming, that someone drew a toilet or that someone dared someone to do it. Speaking of which, have you ever noticed how un-toilet-friendly most superhero gear is? No zippers, layers of armor, spandex out the wazoo, and an almost sinister lack of access to said wazoo in the first place.
Anyway, the speculation last week over just how he got the book pages in his grimoire was really entertaining, so we're introducing a new feature this week -- "Guess How!"
Take a look at this Hammerknight effort and see if you can guess how it was done, either just explaining what you think the tricks are, or trying to replicate it yourself (link to show your work!):
I'll post the answer key after folks've had a chance to give it a try. Thanks HK, should be fun!
