What we have with Polaris Spanner from DC's "Spanner's Galaxy" is a fundamentally decent costume horribly betrayed by one small but crucial element:
Although I hesitate to say it considering the location of the area in question, this is definitely a case of a small thing making a huge difference. I am talking, of course, about his crotch, which for some reason is bound to the open-flap tunic top like some kind of cosmic onesie. The urge to check underneath that thing for quick-release snaps is almost irresistible, and may in fact be why he was the most-hunted criminal in the galaxy. They took their fashion seriously back then, folks.
The other elements are mostly blah (with the exception of that white-fur collar which ought to be illegal in any century), but that simple decision to continue the tunic down to his hoo-hoo just ruins the entire thing. The headband transforms from a semi-neato sci-fi doodad to a hippie doofus accessory, the boots look like he's smuggling baby hippos, and let's not even get started with the bizarre galactic howler monkey.
Just remember kids, when it comes to fashion, particularly in your nether regions, just say "no" if any seamstress asks you if you want to span anything. Maybe if Polaris Spanner had learned that lesson, he'd be a free man today. Or at least, not in a canceled book.

Come up with the funniest replacement dialog for this comic book panel and you'll win either any custom item you like or a caricature of your face to be included in the final version of HeroMachine 3!
This week we're going for something a little different. Instead of slavering heavily-muscled spittle-festooned uber-monsters firing all manner of projectile weapons, we have a pleasant little domestic scene:
Or is it? Who knows who's off panel speaking, or what he/she/it is saying? That's up to you! As usual, the rules are simple:
That's it! You have one week -- next Tuesday I'll announce the winner right here on this here spot on the intertubes.

Our contest this week ended up being almost more of an "environment" affair than science-fiction, which is fine considering I just released those item sets recently. Having said that, the overall winner definitely embodied the spirit of the contest and also made a totally cool looking illustration, so bonus! Read on to see the Honorable Mentions for the week and the ultimate winner.

At first I was going to ask "Let's say Clark Kent has to die, what secret identity would you want to see Superman take on?" but then I ended up going more general instead:
