Bayou Code of Honor
- Make sure to highlight your character's superpower.
- Focus your superhero's power on the previous champion's power as much as possible.
- Wordplay is strongly encouraged.
- The early bird gets the worm. If you're prepping a hero and someone beats you to the punch, too bad, so sad. It happens. Feel free to link to your alternate hero in the comments, though!
- If using a pre-existing character or hero, try to use it in a novel or creative way.
- If your reference is unusually obscure, feel free to include an explanatory link.
- To avoid repetition, look through earlier entries.
- Battle your hardest.

okay...help me out.
Aren't we dealing with characters here, and not just nouns.
Can you really consider Blackout and Blackhole characters?
Blackout could be a guy. It makes sense that you couldn't see him in total blackness.
I should be asking: Can WE really consider Blackout and Blackhole characters?
With Blackhole, I see two options...(1) create a character that thwarts the Blackhole, or (2) find some anti-depressant pills and post those.
To take get to the heart of the challenge, I must take the first option...opting for the second, weakens the battle and requires less creativity....
Questions of whether a black hole can be a character aside, it's tough when a character has one main feature. That's why really off-the-wall characters tend to provoke better responses: They give you plenty of weird options to take.
OTOH, you could look at an apparently straightforward character as a chance to come up with a completely out-of-left-field response. A character that seems limiting might provoke an even better response because it forces you to be very predictable or very creative.
Regarding the "character" question: My vote is to not get too picky about that kind of thing, and trust people to follow the guidelines. It makes for a better atmosphere. If you don't like a certain character, somebody will post a response soon enough.
Yeah ok, Blackout wasn't my finest work ever. No more nouns from me.
Aw shucks else, I liked it!
For what it's worth, I enjoyed Blackout as well.
