inspired by this thread (http://freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=53133.msg719932;) and this little flash quiz (http://stkp.com/FF/ARCHIVE/12P/12pixeltest.swf), I thought it might be fun to try a few of these ourselves and see what happens.
Basic idea: convey a known hero character in 12 pixels and see if people can guess who it is.
I made a basic template (http://stkp.com/FF/ARCHIVE/12P/12pixelhero_template.gif) and used only the web216 palette. I reserved #333333 for the grid lines, but the rest were okay to use. The only hint you get is company, but these first ones should be easy.
DC:

2) (http://stkp.com/FF/ARCHIVE/12P/dc2.gif)
3) (http://stkp.com/FF/ARCHIVE/12P/dc1.gif)
Marvel:
1) (http://stkp.com/FF/ARCHIVE/12P/marvel1.gif)
2) (http://stkp.com/FF/ARCHIVE/12P/marvel2.gif)
3) (http://stkp.com/FF/ARCHIVE/12P/marvel3.gif)
BTW: everyone is welcome to post their own to see if anyone can guess as well.
DC
1.Wonder Woman
2.Booster Gold
3.Blue Beetle.
Marvel
1.Ironman
2.?
3.Deadpool.
kkhohoho, you got the first 4 correct, but I didn't mean Marvel3 to be Deadpool - the red and black would be reversed for him I think. No, that's someone else from the Marvel U.
Not sure about Marvel 2, but Marvel 3 looks like Giantman to me.
I can't figure out Marvel #2 either, but I think Marvel #3 is Ant-Man. (Could be Giant-Man, too, Pod...)
Hint on #2
has a movie coming up.
Hint on #3
an X-man

Still no clue on #2, but #3 has to be Colossus. (Or not...)
#3- Nightcrawler
Marvel #2 = Thor. I agree with Alaric on Marvel #3
Alaric and Prev got #3, and Prev got #2. And that's the last of 'em!
Anyone want to try their hand at it?
I was bored for a few minutes, so I made a slew of these for you guys, mainly of FR patrons. I don't REALLY expect you to get all these (I probably wouldn't, and I'm an avatar who... er... fanboy.) but I am curious how many you do get.

I should note, before anyone kills me for putting X over Y, that there's no real logic behind the choices of avatars, other then I happened across them going through my ff collection.
Just guesses, based on the first names that come to my mind when I look at them:
1: Tomato
2: Afghan Ant
3: Is that me (or rather my, uh, alter ego)?
6: Mike B7
8: Unko Man
4. C6 or Pormark
5. Billdamn?
7. Ultimate Evil
Marvel:
1) Colossus
2) Deadpool
everything you have guessed is correct (4 is one of them prem, but the other guess is in 9-12)
Edit: Here's the ones revealed so far (TUE got 11 and prem guessed 12 via IM)
1)Me
2)AA
3)Verdant Vowel
4)C6
5)Damnage
6)Mike B7
7)TUE
8)Unko Man
9)
10)
11)Hellscorp
12)Podmark
9 = :kingbe2:
10 = Benton Grey
10 is correct, 9 isn't.
Hint for 10: This hero was designed by a real Casanova
Nice one Tomato, sorry I got here to late to play. 9's got me stumped though (I thought King-Be too) but most of the rest are very recognizable. Nice job.
would 9 be "Black Casanova"?
no, but he was the Casanova referred to in the last hint:
Hint- Was skinned by a vegetable
Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!!
(Jumps up and down waving his hand wildly in the air. Notices everyone staring at him. Stops jumping.)
Uh, right. Would that be... Yellow Lantern?
Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner
