The date was December 8, 1960. Pop idol Fabian visited Elvis Presley at Graceland and lent him his pants when Elvis ripped his demonstrating karate. It’s true; I looked it up.
Your challenge this week is to give us your best Elvis. Maybe it is young Elvis from GI Blues, black leather Elvis from his comeback special, white jumpsuit Elvis, zombie Elvis – whatever floats your boat.
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);
Contest closes Sunday, December 9th at 6:00pm eastern

While I do not have the same art credential as our esteemed leader Mr. Hebert, I have decided none the less to take my own crack at presenting you, our most gracious community members with my own reviews of what I feel is the worst of SuperHero/Villian fashion sense. I do so hope you enjoy.
First up!
So this little bit of 90's artwork makes me ask why the Sub-Marine decided to dress like a porcupine ? No wait, I most apologize to the Mariner for that one, oh no the king of the sea would never dress up as some lowly land based creature! How dare I suggest such a thing. No No, what we obvious have here is the Sub-Mariners Alter ego "SEA URCHIN MAN"
Seriously folks this ensemble just screams EXTREME!!! From the fly away Savage hairdo to the bristling spikes along his forearms and legs he is the epitome of a 90's redesign! Not sure what he was thinking when he put this number together unless it was an attempt to impress Sue Richards evil alter ego Malice!
( Just as an FYI starting next week I plan on having a Bad Costume post up every Wednesday so if you have any suggestion on a bad costume you want mock send me a private message over on the forums telling what costume and a link to a picture if possible. )

Here is your chance to be a Movie Critic. Today's Movie is "Catwoman" starring Hallie Berry. Tell me your likes and dislikes, and what you would of done to make the movie better.
In my opinion, Hallie Berry is a good actress, but Catwoman she is not. Catwoman is my most loved villian/hero out there, so the movie fell way short. I didn't even like the plot of the movie. I have not seen the new Batman movie yet so I can not say how the new Catwoman holds up.
Starting next week Kaldath and I are in hopes of having a more scheduled week laid out for you. So today knock yourself out, let's hear what you have to say about the movie at hand.

Just for fun, lets see what you can come up with.
The Challenge is to color in the character, without changing the character other than adding color to it. You can add a background or other designs, but you can not take anything away from the Character. If you like this challenge I can add it to the list of weekly posts. The first character is "R.I.P" by ams. All you have to do is copy the text RIP-no-color by ams and import it into Hero Machine and the character is ready to color.

It is time once again for our weekly versus match-up This week I pit Captain Marvel against Captain Britain.
[polldaddy poll="6742229"]
These two characters have a lot more in common then one might think. Both Marvel and Britain have been granted their powers by a wizard Shazam in Marvels case and Merlin in Britain's. Both characters have super human strength, and endurance as well as the ability to fly. Where they differ is what may decide this match up. Britain has enhanced senses, though not as good as say Wolverines, they are still many times better then your average human beings, however he slowly begins to weaken and loss his powers should he leave the British isles unless he is wearing his costume. Marvel on the other hand has accelerated healing, and can summon lightning bolts which then can be use as a weapon so long as he is close enough to his opponent and manages to dodge them himself so as not to be transformed back into his normal child's body. Marvels weakness however is that despite having the Wisdom of Solomon his is still just a boy in a mans body and I think this gives the advantage to his opponent in this confrontation thus I award this one to Captain Britain, but that's just my opinion Who do you think wins this one and why ? Leave a comment below explaining your choice.

No, seriously -- is that Iron Man or Yellowjacket? Because the color is the latter while the armor is the former.

For my first challenge I would like to honor the famous duos both past and future. There has always been a straight man and a funny man teamed up to bring a smile to our faces. Abbott & Costello, Laurel & Hardy, C3PO &R2D2, and Twiki & Dr. Theopolis are a few of the most famous duos out there. Your challenge this week is to create a Robotic Duo.
With the help of my wife Isia, I will be judging the contest with a different eye. We are not looking for fancy bells and whistles or elaborate backgrounds. I'm looking to see if the character really fit the theme of the contest?
I’ll pick my personal favorites when the week is over. The rules otherwise are the same as always:
Limit two entries this week.
P.S. I forgot to add that dblade will be offering prizes to the winners.
I would like to thank him for the offer.
Here is how the prizes will work:
1. At the end of each month I will have a poll that includes the weekly winners for that month.
Everyone will then be allowed to vote for the best design of that month. That winner will be
the prize winner for that month.
2. Each quarter of the year (every three months) the monthly winners will be placed in a poll for
everyone to vote for the best design for the quarter. The winner will be the prize winner for
that quarter.
3. At the end of the year, the four quarterly winners will go head to head in a vote off for the
best design of the year. The winner will be the prize winner for the year.
Because it is the last month of this year we will only be having the weekly winners going up
for the monthly prize.
All prizes will be between the winners and dblade.
