Okay, here's one! Define exactly what you mean by "superhero". I think it merits at least some explanation, because while the term "villain" is pretty concrete, a "superhero" is a little vaguer. And along the same lines, what sorts of "villains" are you looking for?
Superhero: A fictional character who has superhuman characteristics, using them for good. Villain: A fictional character who is a perpetrator of evil. I'd like us to stick to the Marvel, DC Comics types so if they appear in the comic books, TV Shows, Movies etc. If anyone has a render they are unsure of qualifies, please PM me and I will advise you.
As a reminder, please PM me all submissions and I will display them randomly to vote on. You can use this thread for discussion or any questions. Huge thanks to @AeroHail for making this lovely prize a possibility <3
Ok, so only "superheroes" villains? Like from the superhero world or something? (I dunno how to say it lol) And on what timezone are the deadlines based?
Yes, to keep a theme consistent, I've imposed a rule that they must come from Marvel, DC Comics etc or be present in the comics, TV Shows, or movies.
It said in the original post that it is PST - namely, Pacific Standard Time (UTC -8). All Lake Valor events are keyed to PST deadlines.
