Super Hero

Please comment and let know your thoughts. A friend of mine is pushing to create an image around this figure, I’m not convinced yet, but perhaps I just lack vision. If anything, I reckon I could spend some quality time visualizing as this Johnny Bravo wannabe. Aiai. What a laugh. Should I pursue?

I am not keen on the whole pumed up look. If he can make you more lean, the way triathletes actually look, I think it would be cool to have your experiences told through comics on your site. It is a different medium to tell your stories, and I am not aware of it being done before, in triathlon marketing I mean. It is a great idea.

I reckon a character, like this one, is meant to be an exteme version of the original person, otherwise what the point of making him a character, why not put a photo. And anyway, its a super hero, he should appear larger than life, and powerful. Its an all round awesome idea!

sjoe dan,depends… in this pic the charac looks abit mean and on steriods.
for me, the first thing that comes to mind is robo cop…
so maybe the character could tone down and portray more of an adventure athlete… pictures of him doing typical disciplines that you do in your races… dan the paddler, runner, biker etc.

Excellent overall concept. Yes, slightly too Shwartznegger, but also it must be kept comical and somewhat of a parody so no one believes you take yourself too seriously; god knows we don’t take you seriously. It needs a thought bubble that says “magic”.
