Mighty Misfits
In the 1980s much weird folk roamed the streets of the USA, but some stood out even in that candy-colored time. Those were the heroes and villains known as the Mighty Misfits!
Beakon
Did you ever hear a pecking noise on your roof at night? It might be a giant yellow bird-ish man, known as Beakon! Aspiring to be a signal of hope for men and birds alike, Beakon hops from roof to roof to catch burglars, cats and other scum before they can hurt one more feathery friend!
Which part of him is man and which is bird could not yet be determined, however.
Cabbage Man
One day, Cabbage Man was sick of the food culture he saw around him. Everyone was turning vegetarian! No one, except Cabbage Man, seemed to understand that vegetables are so much more suited for fighting crime than eating them! So he geared up, packed his greens, and went out on the streets, always equipped with the freshest, healthiest food - to throw it at the bad guys!
Sometimes, it was debated whether he should rather be called Lettuce Man, and due to his philosophy of never giving interviews, the matter could never be settled, leaving the newspapers in despair.
Wicked Wingspan
Not your usual crazy scientist with the awesome tech, Wicked Wingspan is not actually able to fly. His suit is just that fancy - and includes invisible stilts (he found at a dumpster one day). Also, his master plan to spray everyone around with bronzer never quite works out, because he can’t seem to figure out how to get it under people’s clothes. But he really believes in it, and one day he will find the actual scientist with the knowledge to help him get it done!
The Moist Menace
Breaking onto the crime fighting scene as a three-eyed fish with dangerous … water guns, I guess? …, The Moist Menace fights crime not out of moral conviction, but because he wants to be the only villain in town! That’s right, the guy is part of the team of heroes only as long as the crazy dude with the flappy wings is history. Everybody knows that for he never tires to claim superiority of his evil creativity over Wicked Wingspan’s. However, no one quite beliefs it or simply doesn’t care. Once, it was rumored that Menace’s secret identity was an actual person, but it seems pretty obvious that he is just a fish with the usual two eyes.
Princess Candypop
Nobody ever looked that sweet when fighting crime! Princess Candypop may strike some as just a usual young woman, but with a piece of her special cherry gummy candy, she develops super human strength and shining purple eyes in an instant! And what better to do with this power than make the world a happier place! Ironically, the crime rate apparently has risen since Princess Candypop appeared on the streets, because many young men yearn for a chance to meet this lovely young lady, even if that means breaking the law.

Here are my 80s-inspired Heroes and Villains for the third round of the figbarfcentral tournament! These figures were a lot of fun to make! Also big thanks to my friend Mr. Grievous for writing part of the story!
