Contest 17 Prize: Celtica

Posted on July 10, 2008 by | Comments Off on Contest 17 Prize: Celtica

Niall Mor and I have finished his winning prize for Caption Contest 17, "Celtica":

Niall also has a web site, "It's All Straw", where he talks about a variety of topics, including super-hero stuff, so you might check it out when you get a chance. Odds are he'll post this image there too, along with a description of the character. For grins, here's the HeroMachine version of Celtica he sent me for reference:

Your chance to win your own custom illustration by yours truly is going on now in Caption Contest 19, so head on over and try out your creativity!

Maybe this is what comes OUT of a "Ring of Fire"?

I try not to be judgmental, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that "crapping fire" is not a bona-fide super power:

At least the flaming feces are in handy pellet form, useful (presumably) for flinging at enemies. Although given the way Spidey is cringing in horror, I doubt that's going to be happening any time soon.

Fire and steel rain from the skies in this week's edition of the Monday Mashup, wherein I take one (and only one!) panel from each of ten randomly selected comic books to make a somewhat coherent story. With that we jump right into our tale of secret government tech and drunken bar fights.
