Figured I'd join this one for some practice.

My hero is thus:
http://www.goodasgone.net/scottguns/Mayflyboy.jpg

He is (dun, dun, dun) MAYFLY BOY!

Powers: Bitten by a radioactive mayfly as a little boy while swimming, he immediately gained all insect powers. He can scale buildings, jump high, extreme dexterity, the works. He also began to grow at a tremendous rate, growing to adolescence in only hours.

Problems: The other power the mayfly infused in him was it's extremely short life span. He grows up and dies in only one day. The larva that clings to his back is his offspring that bursts forth into a new, smaller Mayfly Boy when he expires. Unfortunately, the new hero does not retain the memory of the previous Mayfly Boy and has to learn the hero bit all on his own. With only a day of training, every Mayfly Boy yet to exist has horribly failed at saving people from even the pettiest of criminals.

I began modeling him yesterday, and I've done a little bit of torso work so far:

So, I hope to continue on this challenge till the end :D

That's a good idea, I was thinking he looked a bit bland. I'll do some more thinking these next few days.

Ok, so that last idea kinda panned out. So, my friend and I thought up a new guy...

AWESOME POSSUM!

Still working out the details on the story, but here's some pretty pictures to tickle your optical nerve.
