Lace up your patent leather boots and wiggle into your tights. It's time for Heroes + Villains.
The challenge is simple. Design a logo for a superhero or supervillain of your own creation (or both). Then tell us a little bit about him/her/it. Back-story, superpowers, secret identity, nemeses, that sort of thing.
Whoever has the most likes on each side (one hero and one villain) by next Friday will square off in a final battle to save/take over the earth. The fate of the world is in your hands.
Still working out what the prize will be. If anybody out there has something they'd be willing to donate, I'm all ears.
All right, enough talk. It's clobberin' time.
EDIT: Dan Cederholm has donated a Dribbble tee and stickers to the prize pool, and Jay Fanelli has offered a United Pixelworkeres tee. Thanks, guys.
The Logic Blur is sometimes a hero, sometimes a villain, but always super. Using the special philosophical powers of Seeing That and Seeing As, The Logic Blur routinely breaks down arguments using semantics, and he has proven—or disproven, depending on how you look at it—the existence of an otherworldly being that he calls Dan, the Creator of all that Dribbbles. His emblem leaves some people asking, "Is that guy wearing a duck on his chest?" While others still ask "Is that guy wearing a rabbit on his chest?" Obviously, the answer is "Yes."
His arch-nemesis is The Fervent Fundamentalist, with whom he battles constantly defending the world from The League of Extraordinary Ignorance, which The Fervent Fundamentalist leads with the seductive (but chaste) Naughty Nun.
Occasionally, though, The Logic Blur just likes to go start arguments on the internet by posting logical fallacies, mostly to keep Randall Munroe awake at night.
Gen. Discomfort is a retired Army General gone rouge. He spends his days making everybody's lives very uncomfortable, by broadcasting annoy pop songs from his secret lair, located somewhere in Nevada desert. His arch-nemesis is known only as Capt. Feathers.
Capt. Feathers is more than a bird and more than a plane. He's a BirdPlane™. It's believed he got his super powers, when he was hit on the head by the magical "Pink Basketball". He has the ability to fly faster than a jet, and hover like a Humming Bird. His arch-nemesis is rouge army general, Gen. Discomfort.
• CAPTAIN OBVIOUS •
His power; he simply points out the obvious. When used against the Villains they tend to become confused, annoyed, distracted and/or disoriented. (Side note: He can't fly but insists on wearing a cape for "fashion reasons".)

Catch Phrases:
- We've got to stop the Villains!
- We're goin' down!
- When we destroy you, you'll all be dead!
Faster than a crack in a mirror!
More powerful than the knowing glare of a black cat!
Able to leap tall ladders in a single bound!
Look! Up in the sky! It's a sign! It's a self-fulfilling prophecy! It's Super Stitious!
It all started when local astrologer, Eric O'Bragh, was bitten by a radioactive opossum and gained the ability to play dead when frightened. Later, using his knowledge of trinkets and charms, he began to tip-toe towards the forces of good and became Super Stitious!
