Quite a while ago, probably back in the 20th, an event I set up for Comic-Con in San Diego was a "superhero design" contest, in which all designs were to be done in Champions. I don't remember, now, the design that was chosen as the overall winner. But I have never forgotten Dead Elvis, a character who had limitations that went with being dead, but who had insane Charisma and an army of devoted followers . . . It was such a twisted concept, and the design showed such ingenuity, that we gave it some sort of special award.
