    Default Cover Contest Dec. 25-31: What are you ungrateful for?

    I originally thought of this for US Thanksgiving but I think it works well for X-Mas, too.

    Tis the season for being happy and merry, and for appreciating what we're grateful for. Unfortunately, superheroes often have to deal with people who are ungrateful for the services those with superpowers provide. Post a cover depicting a superhero (or superhero-adjacent character) who isn't getting the respect/gratitude s/he deserves for being/doing good the whole year round.

    I found a cover that is perfect for Iron Maiden... and I really hope that's the one she chooses.

    Rules:

    1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
    2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book or Collected Volume! Includes TBP, Graphic Novels, Comic Strip Collections, Digests, and anything similar.
    3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
    4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)!
    5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
    6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
    7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
    8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
    9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.
    10) HAVE FUN!

    Back when even Superman and Batman were ungrateful…

    «Speaking generally, it is because of the desire of the tragic poets for the marvellous that so varied and inconsistent an account of Medea has been given out» (Diodorus Siculus, The Library of History [4.56.1])

    The entries so far are looking like all that Super-dickery finally caught up with Kal-El.

    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Seriously, New York goes through so much collateral damage and the common people are left to clean it up.
