So, we had a much lower turn out this time compared to our other recent polls. To compare, when we did Marvel's greatest villains a while back, the vote count broke 300. For DC we barely scraped 200. Maybe it's because of how obvious the winner was for this poll (spoilers, just in case you couldn't work out who was going to win). But that doesn't mean that the poll didn't throw a few surprises up along the way, including one character that I'm sure is going to raise a few eyebrows. So let's get into the results.
Dishonourable Mentions: Black Adam, The Riddler, Anti-Monitor, Captain Cold

Ages ago there was a CDC that asked Machiners to create an iconic character that would be right at home in a western film. Above is Bloody Mary ā my entry ā the ruthless madam of the local brothel.
So whether you choose the local sheriff, a dastardly cattle rustler, a grim undertaker or whateverā¦your challenge this week is to create a unique and iconic character that would be found in a classic Hollywood western.
The winner this week will receive my version of their design rendered in glorious HM3.

Interesting week this week. Some great circus themed entries, just a little light on the villainy.
Honourable mention goes to HerrD for Rube.
The colour and composition is great - just a little hard to judge as a "character design challenge|" That being said do not change a thing. No one else does what you do, or brings such creativity to HM3.
Runner up is Human Pincushion by Kellkin.
A great rendering of a circus themed character, but again, kind of light on the villainy. Perhaps if his villain name was Voodoo and he could cause pain in others by piercing his own skin. Just an idea.
And the win this week goes to...
