[UPDATE: Our winner has been selected -- congratulations, and thanks to everyone who entered!]
It's been a week since DC Universe Online launched -- you may have heard about it. It's an increasingly common practice of MMO gamers these days to avoid buying and subscribing to a game right out of the gate. More often, players sit back to see how things proceed after launch before committing their money.
If you're one of those players, how would you like to see how it's going free of charge, courtesy of Massively? We've got a box copy of DC Universe Online earmarked for one lucky reader! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment here telling us what sort of superhero you'd make in DCUO. Enter by Friday the 21st at 11:59 p.m. EST, then we'll draw a winner and mail him or her a brand-new game.
As always, check out our contest rules, and best of luck!

The Hammish Detective - a mild mannered alien reporter who finds himself trapped on earth, gifted freakish powers by the absence of sunlight. He seeks to avenge the murder of his parents on an alien world that was (later) destroyed by solving crimes by beating everybody in the general vicinity into a pulp.

As an Alt-aholic, I can never commit to just one...
But the first will definitely be a flyer, and probably be a hand blaster. It'll depend on what I find coolest at the time i'm making him!

I'd like to make a martial arts and mental hero because you can fight close up with also having the ability to crowd control

The type of hero that gets satisfaction from saving a cat stuck in a tree the same as rescuing people from a burning building . This is what I do , I have the responsibilty to use my powers to help the less fortunate . If given this game the city will be safe on my watch . I AM THE NEXT LEGEND !!!!!

To me whats important about a hero is the costume. if the costume doesn't fit then the hero wont work. I'm thinking of a hero green, black and red. A flying hero, and one based on Superman's abilities (mainly because i cant remember all the options in the game).

Probably a character that's a mix of stealth and close quarters fighting.

Batman family type character. No powers. Only use martial arts skills and gadgets.

One without any super powers, just a normal hero who relies on gadgets and his brain like Batman.

I would like to make a half-man/half-moose fellow who has super human strength and who also likes to sit in his bathtub all day chewing on alfalfa sprouts when not fighting crime.

i'd make an acrobatic, gadget using, dual pistol wielding hero to save mankind from my big ego.

Well for me, it'd be all about the Mystic arts. Though I have to admit, I'm a bit curious about the nature line of powers.

Flying spaghetti monster.
