Theme
Where is my super suit? For this challenge you are to create your own super hero.
Some photo shopping is allowed if you have trouble with the title.
As an extra rule, take your time! Some of you can be super fast (me included) and I’ve noticed that the early bird usually catches the worm. So for this challenge I’m subtracting a point for anyone who posts within 24 hours.
It should hopefully level the playing field a little bit. Consider it an experiment, whoever wins is free to get rid of this rule if it doesn’t work out.
Rules
- Follow the community’s rules above all else
- One comment and image per user
- Embed image directly in the post (no external link)
- Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we’re all here for fun and learning)
- Posts that are tied will both get the points
- The challenge runs for 7 days from now on
- Down votes will not be counted

At the end of the challenge each post will be scored:
| Prize | Points |
|---|---|

| Comic Book Cover | +1 point |
| Last two entries (to compensate for less time to vote) | +1 point |

Hero points are awarded to the most fleshed out hero, (backstory, uniform, powers, etc.)
Comic Book Cover points are awarded to those that most look like a real comic book issue.
The winner gets to pick next theme! As always, have fun everyone!

I hosted the last one as well. I’m happy to pass the next challenge on to @[email protected] considering they ended up 2nd and the other two already hosted a challenge more recently.
Hi @[email protected] ! Thank your very much for the offer! Unfortunately i am currently on holiday and would only be able to create a challenge in about 3 days. So create a challenge! Not your fault that you are so good and creative that you are constantly winning.
Ok, I’ll make one instead then.
Enjoy your vacation! :)
where are my 0 points?
That’s strange, I’ve added you in. The script I use should have shown you properly but for some reason you got filtered out.
I think it’s the regular expression that searches for an image, maybe it’s something in the alt-text you used that didn’t flag it properly? I’ll keep an eye out for it with next week’s score.
Sorry for the mistake!
i hold my zero points dearly 🙂
Let me introduce you : Superclown the hero that’ll make you laugh
A flying clown, wears a red cape and a blue jumpsuit, 1950’s superhero comics, flies over the city, SUPERCLOWN title

Prompt: Comic book cover, of a super hero in a dirty costume, lounging in front of the tv, drinking a beer, piles of trash litter the floor, the title “The Procrastinator” is written in bold font on top, 2d illustration --ar 3:4 --v 6.1"That’s me, Marcus Fleet. A.K.A. The Procrastinator, A.A.K.A. Mr. Took-You-Long-Enough. I never amounted to much. Graduated high school with mediocre grades, got a boring office job that barely pays the rent, and basically scraped by in life.
It probably would’ve stayed that way if fate hadn’t decided to sucker-punch me right in the metaphorical groin. Through a series of unlikely events—mostly thanks to my general lack of commitment—I ended up with the power of foresight. Yeah, I can predict when a crime’s about to go down before it happens.
The thing is, I just can’t muster the energy to actually do anything about it. Do you know how many heroes there are in this city? Most of the crimes I foresee will get handled anyway by Mr. Awesome Beam, The Bucktoothed Wombat, The Harmonica Twins, or one of those other glory hogs.
So, I just relax until I’m really needed. You’d be amazed how much binge-watching and doom scrolling you can get done when you wait until the absolute last moment. Then, I show up, push the button, punch the bad guy, cut the wire—whatever quick fix is needed—and save the day. Sure, a few things have gone sideways when I got distracted, but hey, nobody’s perfect! Sometimes you just get caught up reading about magnetic dentures, fall down a Wikipedia rabbit hole, and next thing you know… well, oops.
…Anyway, that’s my life. And I’ll keep telling you more after I shove The Viscous Violin into a vat of vittles in, like… 10 minutes?! Fu-"
You definitely win 😂
Thanks :)
It’s a bit strange there’s so few votes this time around though, usually it’s a bit more active. I wish there was some way to let this post get the attention it needs while still preventing this from becoming a race to submit as quickly as possible to get the most votes.
Maybe a rethinking of the scoring is in order.
The post it not being pinned to top this time, unless it is viewed directly from sh.itjust.works
I think that explains the low vote counts.
Oh thanks for letting me know!
I re-stickied the post, does it show properly now?
This post is no longer pinned, again. See my results using default Lemmy UI:
Same when I use Voyager. It works fine via Lemmy.world.
That’s really weird…
I still see it pinned on fedia.io as well. Must be a federation issue?
Let me know if you see this happen again with the next challenge and I’ll hit that sticky button a couple of times. Other than that, there’s not much else I can do.
Yes the post is at the top now. Tested on both feddit.uk and lemmy.cafe.
This might have something to do with instance configuration/version. Because lemmy.world had it pinned.
Thanks.
By the way, I suggest having the “Past Entries” in the side bar instead of a pinned post. I suspect that Lemmy might have issues displaying multiple pinned posts.
Hmm… I guess we can give that a try. Personally I’ve never had any problems with multiple stickies, but I can imagine that different people on different instances with different apps might get different results.
I’ll move it to the side bar. We still reference it in every challenge post as well, so it should remain easy to find.
Amazing
I would watch / read this.
did you watch Hancock?
Tried to watch it several times. Never made it to the end. It seems to be 2 movies merged badly together in one movie.
As far as i remember Hanckock was not really a procrastinator, but simply did not care at all initially.
i thought, as funny as it is as an idea or a joke, this would make a worse than Hancock movie. We would watch a guy do nothing for at least 90 minutes
No we, would watch him watching other heroes doing the job. Maybe with some snarky commentary from the procrastinator.
In my head the stories would be about a 70/30 division of mostly other heroes trying to save the day and the Procastinator dealing with some mundane problem or obsession, knowing that he’ll probably need to help but he still has plenty of time.
The story would escalate with the heroes fighting the big bad guy of the day. While the Procastinator is aware that he really should be stepping in soon, but postponing it to deal with whatever is in front of him at that moment. Figuring he still has time, as long as he really rushes later on.
The climax will end with the heroes almost defeated and the Procastinator swearing and running to do the thing he needs to do. He’ll end up getting there just in time (usually), to do some really simple thing that will -in an almost Rube Goldbergesque manner- ruin the bad guy’s plans, and save the day.
The heroes will be pissed off, because of course the Procastinator could have solved this hours ago if he just managed to get off his ass a bit sooner. Maybe Mr. Awesome Beam’s cape will be shredded, or the Bucktooth Wombat’s WomTruck will be completely smashed because of his late appearance. And they’ll act like a bunch of thankless assholes, as usual.
The Procrastinator will take their behavior as an excuse so he won’t have to learn anything about time management and the story will repeat next week/issue.I could see the procrastinator in the one punch man universe.
depending on who’s writing the dialogues (or rather monologues 🙂), this might be fun to watch
The worst part? I thought I made magnetic dentures up for fun, turns out they’re real and now I’m stuck reading about dental CAD/CAM in wikipedia 😭

Prompt
vintage comic book cover, with green slimy title that reads “Slime Man!”, pulp art style superhero comic, Slime Man is a unique superhero with a body composed entirely of a translucent, greenish slime. His form is fluid and constantly shifting, giving him the ability to stretch, reshape, and even split into multiple parts if needed. Slime Man’s face is somewhat defined within the gooey substance, with glowing eyes and a wide, determined smile that conveys both confidence and a sense of fun. He wears a stylized, slime-themed superhero costume that includes a slick, green emblem on his chest in the shape of an “S.” His “costume” is seamlessly integrated with his slime body, making it appear as if the emblem and other details are formed out of the slime itself., a s speech bubble emanates from the Slime Man mouth, with the word “I Slime!” written in a classic comic book font. A burglar is lying on the ground before him, completly covered in slime. a s speech bubble emanates from the burglars mouth, with the word “I´m slimed!”
