Welcome to Part 3! There’s lots to go over this time so let’s get right to it! As usual, this will be a pretty image-heavy post. We’ll start with updates on the last post and then get into some new stuff!
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 morphing member of the hero squad. His name is Jason Chapman and he is 16 years old. He grew up in a series of foster homes across Texas. When his morphing ability was discovered he was sold to a travelling carnival by money hungry foster parents. It was at the carnival that Ages approached a broken Jason, and offered to help him escape. Your challenge is also come up with a “hero” name for Jason and determine exactly what he morphs into. Is he like Beast Boy – morphing into animals at will? Or is he more like the Hulk? That is entirely up to you. Your entry must show Jason in both his morphed and un-morphed personas.
Please follow the instructions below regarding the naming of entries.

So there were only 5 entries this week, so I will forego the honourable mentions and runners up. Perhaps it is a summer vacation thing, or people are just losing interest, but this group of challenges will be coming to a natural conclusion in a few weeks time. It would be nice to go out with a bang rather than a fizzle, but that is up to you all. So now to the results…
Even though I am not doing the honourable mentions and runner’s up, I would be remiss if I did not give a shout-out to Blunt Object for the absolutely beautiful character description that accompanied his entry. Seriously the best one I have ever read. Well done you!
And this week’s winner is…drumroll please…

It has come to our attention that the legendary comic book artist Steve Ditko has passed away at age 90. Ditko is most famous for being the very first artist for Spider-Man, creating the iconic look that we all associate with everyone’s favourite web-slinger, as well as a large portion of his most famous rogues during his 38 issue run at the beginning of the Spider-Man series. He had a hand in creating Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Mysterio, Kraven, Sandman, The Lizard, Electro,Vulture, Chameleon, as well as J. Jonah Jameson, Aunt May, Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn. And let us also not forget that he was the lead artist on the debut of another of Marvel’s iconic pantheon, being Doctor Strange, and deserves special credit for his works on other legendary characters both in Marvel and DC. His resume includeds runs on Blue Beetle, The Question, The Creeper and Hawk and Dove for DC, whilst later runs with Marvel yeilded work on Namor, Machine Man, Iron Man, The Power Rangers (oddly enough) and The Hulk, as well as co-creating Squirrel Girl. A noted recluse, Ditko is not believed to have ever married nor to have any children.
Rest In Piece Mr. Ditko, your legacy will last for years to come.

Ok guys, last week I asked you to come up with the best possible replacement dialogue for this:
And here are your top 5:
Rekulhs Nathe: Oh No! My one weakness, Words!
Treasure Hunter: Beeyok? Captain America stared into space and wondered if he’d seen that onomatopoeia before.
G.W: I’m trying to stretch my arms out like Mister Fantastic, but somehow, it’s just not working.
G.W: That’s odd. I’m surrounded by Shrapnel, but almost none is hitting me, despite me spreading myself out. Maybe it’s this thing I’ve heard about called “plot armor.”
Can’t Draw: That felt like more of a KABONG!
And your winner is… (Pause For Dramatic Effect)

Your challenge this week is to design the mystic member of the villain squad – Dr. Amanda Peterson – aka The Emerald Sorceress. Having always been fascinated with world religions, Amanda was researching the Voodoo religion while working toward her PhD and became possessed by the malevolent spirit of a powerful ancient witch. As her psyche was slowly absorbed, Amanda lost herself eventually to the witch’s vengeful spirit. The transition from Amanda is telegraphed by her eyes turning a vibrant emerald green.
