Guess My Avatar, Win Some Prizes!

[Jason Dunn]

If you're a reader from Pocket PC Thoughts or Smartphone Thoughts, you'll know there's a theme when it comes to the avatars that I pick. Here are the two from the other sites:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/images/avatars/2.gif" /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/images/avatars/10157192423f0b23b004a57.gif" /><br /><br />Here's the deal: I've already picked out what my avatar for this site is going to be. It's no secret that I like picking comic book characters, so the first person to post which character I'm going to pick will win <b>$100 USD cash</b> from my personal PayPal account, and a <a href="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/DMTmicrolight.jpg"><b>DMT Micro Light</b></a>.<br /><br />Each person will get <b>ONE</b> guess, and you <b>CANNOT</b> edit your post once you've made it (anyone who does will be disqualified from the contest) - so you'll get exactly one shot at this. Do your research, and make it count! This contest will run until Friday at 12 PM GMT -7. May the best researcher win!

Since this is Digital Media Thoughts...

The Flash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flash)

[`helios]

Spiderman!!!!!(???...please???) Can I have a second guess?? I thought you meant from the two you were showing.


For the new one, I'd have to guess Punisher.

[James Fee]

I was torn in my pick, seems Jason like Mavel Comics so "The Flash" wouldn't be his choice, but come on. Is there a more perfect hero for the "Digital Media" website? ;)

[Jeff_Baker]

The Hulk!

Technology researcher by day; wild man when fired up about a subject/issue/wrongdoing....

[Tim Williamson]

I'm guessing the Human Torch from Fantastic Four.

[Kevin Jackson]

Well -- this is a tough one. At first I thought it might be one of Marvel's North-of-the-Border characters, but you're already using Wolverine and who's really heard of Northstar, Aurora, Puck, Sasquatch or any of the other Alpha Flight crew. So then I thought of The Hulk and The Punisher, but those were taken.

So after much deliberation I present my guess . . .

Iron Man -- Billionaire industrialist forced to where an iron breastplate to keep his heart beating with a piece of shrapnel lodged mere centimeters from it (his heart, that is). Posing as his own bodyguard, Iron Man/Tony Stark saves the world time and again both solo and as a member of the world-famous Avengers.

Yes, I'm a comic book geek, too. 8)

This is a good choice as it's obvious that Jason is an Iron Man for running three great sites.

Keep up the great work!

[hoffm11]

My guess is BATMAN

[oom]

daredevil

oom

[Jaxbulls]

Superman

[dignow96]

How 'bout the Silver Surfer...

[tchaffee]

Silver Surfer - :D

[Suhit Gupta]

Good contest Jason :).

Suhit

[bgate]

The Green Hornet

[rsajdak]

Punisher

[Lee Yuan Sheng]

So after much deliberation I present my guess . . .

Iron Man

Aieeeee, you beat me to it. I wanted to guess that too. Since that's taken, I'll make a wild guess.. Guardian!

[JR]

Iceman.

[David Prahl]

Dr. Octopus

Other obvious guesses were taken, but this is the only one associated with your name on Google. You said we should "research"...where?

[Lotto]

Captain America!

[jayman]

Wonder Woman - Jason always wears gold sweatbands.

Radioactive man or Hulkomer or StanMan lol

If I am right with any of these you can give the money to Charity!

Jayman

[arebelspy]

The Thing. (Rock guy from Fantastic Four.)

-arebelspy

[JTWise]

How about Cyclops (X-Men)?

[dkackman]

Who better for Digital Media Thoughts than Dr. Xavier?

The super-hero who can control what you see and hear using your own thoughts! :P

[dmeineck]

MAGNETO!

[Russell]

I would have to agree with the Batman guess. In the words of the Joker "Where does he get all those wonderful toys," in reference to all of Batman's cool gadgets.

[The Yaz]

My guess is Reed Richards...Mr. Fantastic!!!

Steve 8)

[powder2000]

The Riddler :lol:

[Dominator]

Although I really like the Captain America and Daredevil guesses, I guess I am going to have to go with the Black Panther.

[Todd_B]

Going Old-School...

Dick Tracy ... The original gadget king.

Todd

[klinux]

Has to be Superman.

[Wiggin]

Very entertaining...

For the simple fact that you seem indestructable, and when challenged, can expose those claws of steel in order to uphold right, and defend the weak.... :D

Wolverine

[JR]

Wolverine

I don't think he'd use Wolverine for two sites (it's already used at PocketPCThoughts).

Hmmm...your "indestructable" comment made me think of Collosus.

[encece]

Since someone alredy guessed SilverSurfer then Batman, I'll guess:

CAPTAIN AMERICA

[bcre8v2]

hmmm...
there needs to be some Canadian aspect:

http://members.tripod.com/~MitchellBrown/cancom/characters.html

I like the WonderWoman or Batgirl suggestions, but I think I'll stick with:

Captain Canuck :2gunfire:

-bcre8v2 (Be Creative, too)

[Steven Hughes]

Great Contest!!

I would say Ghostrider and Longshot would make some good Avatars...

Since I think most of Jason's Avatars are based on Todd MacFarlane art I guess...

SPAWN...

[JR]

Great Contest!!

SPAWN...

Good guesses. I thought about Longshot as my guess. Spawn is a great guess.

I've already made my one guess though. :(

[JR]

Jason: Can we assume that your silence means nobody's hit on it yet? Or are you busy counting my money? :lol:

[dkackman]

hmmm...
there needs to be some Canadian aspect:


Oh! :!: The canadian aspect is good. I've got a good one, but I already made my guess.

But here's a hint for somebody who may come after: think Alpha Flight!

[Jason Dunn]

Jason: Can we assume that your silence means nobody's hit on it yet? Or are you busy counting my money? :lol:

The contest will run until Friday - I don't want to spoil the fun.

Some GREAT guesses guys! :way to go: Keep them coming!

[Tim Williamson]

Is Spiderman Canadian?

The correlation I think I see is that his other two avatars had to do with current movies... :?

[yada88]

The Green Lantern

[suchiaruzu]

Vision! :)

[Hyperluminal]

I'm going with...
The Hulk 8)

[Kirk Stephens]

Havn't read through all the posts, but my first guess would Cyclops

If someone already guessed that how about Sabretooth, Wolverine's nemesis?

[Video11]

Hmmm....both current avatars are Marvel Comics characters that have recently been made into movies.

Based on that I can narrow it down to The Hulk and Daredevil. Personally I don't care much for the Hulk, so my guess is Daredevil.

[bbarker]

Thor.

[Suhit Gupta]

Is Spiderman Canadian?
Nope, he's Indian ;-)

Suhit

[Honda_Civic_Si]

I'm going with Venom

Never has Spider-Man faced a more vicious mass of mayhem than the super-brute known as Venom, a man whose intense hatred for the wall-crawler is matched only by the alien symbiote to which he's bonded!

So SpiderMan has competition (Smartphonethoughts vs. Digitalmediathoughts)

:D

-Justin.

[James Fee]

Nope, he's Indian ;-)
Indian's are from Krypton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krypton_(planet))? Didn't know that.

[Ed Hansberry]

Nope, he's Indian ;-)
Indian's are from Krypton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krypton_(planet))? Didn't know that.

Spiderman is from Krypton? I didn't know that. :wink:

[James Fee]

Spiderman is from Krypton? I didn't know that. :wink:
Is it obvious I have no idea about comic books? :oops: What is really sad is I looked up Spiderman on Wikipedia and I still couldn't get out an intelligent thought. :drinking:

All I know about Spiderman is the following...

Spiderman (http://www2.b3ta.com/spidermanwillmakeyougay/) :twisted:

Of course, we ran out of space on Earth so we had to take over Krypton :). Damn the crazy over population ;-)

Suhit

Suhit
What threw me was the fact you are from Metropolis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_(Superman)). :silly:

[micaels]

Since yu are in canada il guess the vancouver canucks shark (Hehe we here in Sweden got a swedish teamcapten their Marcus Naslund)

[Russell]

The contest ends today, does that mean the winner will also be announced then as well?

[Jason Dunn]

Yes, the winner will be announced at noon, in roughly one hour.

[Wiggin]

I don't think he'd use Wolverine for two sites (it's already used at PocketPCThoughts).

:splat: That is too funny... All this time I've been looking at JD's Avatar at PPCT and I had no idea it was a pic of the Wolverine... guess the X-men movies set my expectations going in a diff direction of what a cartoon version would look like of the character on the silver screen :?

I know, I know... Wiggin &lt;---- insert foot in mouth, chomp down
Hey, at least JD has validated my logic ...kinda sorta :lol:

[chrisspera]

I'd like to say Vidicator from Marvel Comic's Alpha Flight...

Alpha Flight is a Canadian Super Hero Team, and Vidicator wears the Canadian flag as his costume...

[Jason Dunn]

...guess the X-men movies set my expectations going in a diff direction of what a cartoon version would look like of the character on the silver screen :?

Ah, but for those of us who read the comics, it's the other way around - the comic book is the "real" Wolverine. ;-)

[Jason Dunn]

I'd like to say Vidicator from Marvel Comic's Alpha Flight...

The contest is over dude. ;-) I guess I should make a post about that. :lol:

[Jason Dunn]

The contest is now over, and the winner is kpjackson. He correctly guessed that I would pick Iron Man for my avatar:

Thanks for guessing everyone!

[chrisspera]

saw that AFTER I posted! :lol:

Not a problem.

Here is a picture of Vindicator/ Guardian from http://www.alphaflight.net :

Good luck with the site, Jason!
