Deadline

Deadline

His aura of panic halves brain capacity by... uh... half.

He also tends to cause people to crowd about you in nervous anticipation.

Deadline held the coveted title of Current Champ from Friday, March 21, 2008 to Monday, March 24, 2008, heartily vanquishing Gray Matters to earn it. Unfortunately, brutal defeat came soon after, at the merciless hands of Monsieur Masseur.

This hero's magnaminous likeness was captured at the moment of glorious triumph by Kevin .

Quotes overheard while standing in the crowd that gathered to watch the carnage…

  1. Ummm...is Deadline male or female? Or both? I find that the ambiguous nether-region is like a tractor beam. Just what is it?

  5. Never in my life did I think I'd see an "aura of panic" as a superpower. This game, as you call it, is a launchpad for inspiration. Cheers.

  6. Some people find last-minute panic is the only thing that inspires them to start.

  7. I've heard people say that. But in the end the deadline isn't helping them BE more creative. It's just they need to be scared into getting into that creative mode.

    I used to have a creative director who purposely gave us ridiculous deadlines because he thought it had us produce better work. Which, to me, felt akin to "You slaves work so much faster when I whip you with this lash."

  8. i have found that deadlines actually don't cut my brain capacity in half. they take my brain capacity and smash it against a wall until its nothing but a small gray puddle. it's rather scary.

  13. Awesome superhero...I think the only one that could beat this is a procastinator whose power increases under the power of a deadline
