I always loved “Marvel Team-Up”, which would pair up one well-known character with a lesser light for some good four-fisted action. So it got me to thinking:

Since it’s going to be a few weeks before I can resume work on HM3 and the polearms, Hammerknight has graciously put together some guides on how you can make your own in the meantime. He also wanted to know if you’d like some instructions on how to save a weapon so you don’t have to recreate it over and over, so by all means let him know in comments what you think of that.
Enjoy! As usual, you can click on the images to make them bigger and more legible.

We all remember our “first”, and for me that “first” involved a muscular young man with a magnetic personality wearing a black corset and little else:
I’m talking, of course, about my first “bad super hero costume”, courtesy of the Legion of Super-Heroes’ Cosmic Boy. It was the first time I remember consciously thinking “Wow, that’s ugly.” And I lived through The Creeper, folks.
The ambiguous skin-tone color is bad enough, but it’s compounded by the lack of a neck seam to separate out the nekkid super bits from the costume super-bits, and in a family comic that’s a no-no. But to make it all worse — cosmically worse, if you will — is the pattern the black parts of the outfit make.
Specifically, the pattern of a push-up bustier that the black parts of the outfit make.
Now, maybe in the future it’s cool for men to run around looking like half-naked ladies of the night. And I’m down with whatever gets your jollies, at any point in our timeline, but that’s just flat-out bizarre. In a group that has Giant Bondage Lad, a guy whose super power is to eat stuff, and a chick in bell bottoms, it’s really saying something when you draw the biggest laugh when entering a room.

I had a lot of fun seeing the side-by-side heroes from last time’s “Golden Age / Modern Age” theme, so I want to do something similar this week by introducing a time-honored trope of the genre: the “Mirror Universe / Evil Twin” contest!
Your challenge is to design two versions of the same character, one “good” and one “evil”. They might be from mirror universes (like the classic Star Trek episode) or they might be twins of the one-good, one-evil variety (like every soap opera series ever written), or one might be an evil clone of the other (calling the extended Parker clone family), or whatever else you like. You can choose any genre and any sort of hero, but you have to have two versions, one good and one evil. You can either post the images separately, or put them together like I did above.
You have one week, starting today and ending next Tuesday. All entries must be left as links to an image or images in the comments to this post, and all images must be 100% HeroMachine-generated. The winner will get to choose either any item he or she wants, or their caricature, put into HeroMachine 3 for all to see and love.
Good luck everyone, I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
