The game City of Heroes popped up a year or two after the Custom Showcase, giving comic book fans another medium with which to create and display their original characters.

About 85,000CA (Customs Ago), Punstarr submitted one such creation, living up to the zany potential the COH game allows. These are my favorite types of customs, complete unknowns that swoop in out of nowhere and seize the spotlight.

Who is this hero, with his winged robot boots, sweet sideburn-'stache and fiery motif? Maybe he's a criminal working undercover to infiltrate the heroes' guild? What's that on his chest, an ancient symbol of a twin-headed chicken? His name may have been lost to time, but this unique custom lives on forever.
