Well folks,It's that time of the year again.

Welcome to the Heromorph Superhero Smackdown 4. Round one.

This year we have another Smackdown. Just like last year, the event of the summer. This will be an ongoing event were you make the art that forms the story. This will be a ongoing event where everyone can get involved.

What we are going to do is have fun making images to go along with a fictional Superhero game show. Think a cross between Amazing Race, the Mole, Big Brother, Fear Factor, and survivor on steroids with superheroes and villains.

Where do you come in... Well to start we need people to start signing up and give the name of the superhero that they would like to be for the start of the contest.

You can pick any character that you want including original HM characters (except Lady Heromorph, as she is the host). If picked a character that belongs to another member of Heromorph please ask permission first. Characters do not have to be comic book characters. Once a character has been chosen they are gone, only one version of the same character is allowed. So join in fast before your character is taken.

After you sign up you will have to do a image of the character you have chosen. for round 1 the image will be a pin-up. Post the image anytime until the end of June. Put Superhero Smackdown 4 in the title, and post it in the superhero smackdown sub-gallery. As mentioned the first image is a just a simple pinup.
When you submit your pin-ups, you must post here or within the image what their characters powers and abilities are.

Each month or so a new chapter for the script will be drafted and each artist will be given a sneak preview of the script containing their character parts and must do a image of their character for the monthly highlights article. The final script will not be finished until the images are in, also the participants can add to the final script themselves make alliances and effect the outcome of other participants be what they put in their images (ie. captions and text is welcome in the images).
We are going for humor and a good time for all. Images can be made in anyway you want to make them.
Each round will have a different deadline and the deadlines will vary in length of time but will not be less then 4 weeks. Artists are also welcome to team up together or do multiple images for any one month. Both regular and adult images will be welcome. Images promotting other websites will not be accepted.
The monthly highlight article will be posted in the fan fiction section.

Sign up starts here.. I am hoping to have everyone signed up and joined in before the end of June.

The only real way to get eliminated is to not do a picture. Also any picture you create for the smackdown must have your own character in it.

Now, Let's have some FUN!!!

end of May... wait a minute, it's mid june.

I'm in, not sure who yet.

Corrected.

It was late when I wrote that last night and I mostly copied from last year thread.

So... Let's join the fun this year.

I have decided.
drum roll please

dum dum dum dum dum

I still cannot make up my mind.

dam indecision.

I'm in, of course.

And my character will be...

The Question

?

So, who's the next victim?

I'm gonna pick Shadowcat.

I'm in with Link from Legend of Zelda!

This sounds interesting. You can choose your own character, and she doesn't need to be a comic book hero? Then I think I will choose my girl Catherine from a graphic novel I'm planing.

Glad to have you aboard.

Also, due to requests I added one more rule to make it easier to all particpants:

Quote:

Let the Fun Begin! Mwa-ah-ah-ah-ah!!!!

The Question I'm gonna use on the Smackdown is the Vic Sage version, my favorite.

Skills and Abilities:

Sage possesses a highly developed intellect and inquisitive mind. His brilliant deductive reasoning meshes well with his masterful detective skills. Trained under Richard Dragon,bSage has become highly skilled in the martial arts and hand-to-hand combat.

Equipment:
Sage wears a specialized belt buckle that contains his faceless mask and a duo chemical gas compound.

shadowcat from x-men. she can phase, is a super genius, has a degree in ass kicking from wolverine and has a purple fire breathing alien dragon named lockheed. I think thats about it.

Quote:

Just a suggestion, OCP. Since humor is an important aspect of the SD, I think that it would be great if you put a bit of the JLU cartoon version of Vic into him so that he can be searching for the elusive sinister flavor of Baskin Robbins ice cream and other such nonsense.

As, for my entry of Link, I'm going to have him be sort of an ultimate Link. He'll look like the current Smash Bros./Twlight Princess version, but be an amalgam of all versions fom all the games with access to every weapon and item from all the games.

Quote:

Oh, just wait to see what I have in mind for the Question this year.

Going to put Oni in the running again ... yeah I am not a Dead artist yet lol

Powers:
Dark energy Sword
Dark Energy Whip
Dark Energy Blast
Dark Oblivion - concentrated Dark energy in centralized area that does massive destruction
Demon Shell- enhances defense, strength and Dexterity for a short time
Regeneration
Shadow teleportation
Shadow clones

Do to technical problems I will not be using Catherine. In her place my Twi'Lek rogue jedi/bounty hunter has agreed to help.

She can use the force and highly trained with the light saber.

So I shall use my Twi'Lik Dar'Kall El'Lven.

Cool another Jedi this year. We had lots of fun when I used Yoda last year.
