    Oregon is the Beaver state but I'd lean a lot more toward the pioneer (the capital building has a golden pioneer on top with an axe).

    Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

    Good idea to give this one it's own thread. I'd been thinking about it, but hadn't actually got around to doing it. Well done!*

    By the way, for those interested in contributing, all the images so far have been created using the templates found over at Fábrica de Heróis . Despite the fact that the instructions are all in Portuguese, it's actually a pretty simple app to use, and as you can tell from some of the pictures, you can get really great results.

    Hope to see more artwork soon!

    Almost all the character costumes so far have featured the state flag (or images therefrom) as major elements of the design. Just a thought.

    Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

    Okay, Herophiles, I need your help.

    I've had an idea for a heroine for my adopted home state, Utah. Given that Utah's nickname is the Beehive State, I decided to do a themed heroine: Honeybee. And I came up with two possibilities for one.

    First, essentially what amounts to a Wasp clone. She has insect wings that allow her to fly. She can shrink to a tiny size. She can project energy, too, but in addition to blasting the bad guys, her energy, properly channeled, can also have healing effects. We'll call her Honeybee-1.

    Second, a powered-armor heroine. On the cutting edge of Utah's respected tech sector, she built herself an armored battlesuit incorporating all the latest computer and metallurgical technology. In addition to exceptional strength and protection from harm, the armor provides her with a suite of energy powers. We'll call her Honeybee-2.

    And, of course, the most important element - their respective pictures:



    Personally, I prefer Honeybee-1. However, I also realize she steps on Ms. South Carolina's schtick a little. So I'm going to put it in your hands. Which do you folks prefer?

    Pariah, you owe me no rep, I was glad I just got over 4000.

    anyways, I like Honeybee-1 moreso.
    don't worry about the palmetto bug,
    that was kind of a lark.

    besides, any of the ones I've done could probably be more thematic.
    nothing is written in stone yet.

    Might be a little to silver age, but what about giving her an entangle (Honey attack)...reminds me of a TeenTitans character named Bumble bee...

    Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

    All right, the masses have spoken! (Although I'm not sure three posts constitutes a 'mass'. ) And by unanimous vote, the official heroine of he state of Utah is...


    Honeybee!

    Go ahead and add her to the roster, Maestro Egyptoid.

    Happy 4th of July, everyone!
