Is there supposed to be a link to a place we can make our own? ---

Damn you! I love this thing. Acutally, this is wonderful. My boss and I have been bugging some of the ilustrators here at work to draw us a superhero that we can blow up and put on our wall. They haven’t gotten us even a sketch in almost a year. This is perfect! Now we can do this all on our own. Thank you! 😃 ---

I used to be hooked on the Hero Machine…'til I discovered [City of Heroes](http://www.cityofheroes.com/) and its character generator. You have to buy the game and pay a $15 monthly fee, but it’s worth every penny IMHO. The character design feature is enough to make your head a-splode. ---
