Creativity and New Media

      I would like to showcase the avatar I created in the MMO game DC Universe Online. It is a game where you create your own superhero, or villain, shape him/her in the image you want, and work with other players and their avatars alongside iconic heroes such as Batman and Superman to do missions and tasks to save the the world from Brainiac's invasion.

  

     My favorite superhero is Batman so I gave my character a Batman inspired helmet with a belt bearing batman's symbol along with a glider which is itself shaped like Batman's symbol. I wear superman's shield on my chest (hard too see because of the lighting) as he is my second favorite superhero and gauntlets of one of my other favorite characters, Dr. Fate. I made his colors black and gold for two reasons. The black is inspired from my lifelong favorite superhero, Batman. The gold comes from my favorite basketball team, the Los Angeles Lakers. While using my avatar I can work with other players who created their heroes in the image they wanted from things that might have influenced and get see all the different styles, both cosmetically and ability wise that people have chosen.
