in Speculation and Concepts
Yes, you read the title correctly. This CCC will focus on Santa Claus. The original SC (sorry Shang-Chi) has made an appearance in many comics in various forms. At one point, he was considered one of the most powerful mutants Cerebro has ever detected. Not sure if that is still canonical, but it doesn't take away from his fascination. Submit your most whimsical, funny, or season's best creation.

Everyone is encouraged to participate. Just follow 3 rules:

1. Stick to the character in the title. You may choose any depiction of that character (younger, older, alternate reality, etc.).

2. Provide some details like the colors of the powers and description. Include more if you're feeling a bit more expressive. Include as much or little detail as you desire. As long as the information is there and understandable, it is fine. As an example, I will begin the challenge with my own design.

3. You may utilize someone else's ideas, but give them credit. Chances are, we will all come up with some of the same ideas. Post them freely, but give credit to the inspiration for your idea, if any.

Constructive discussion is encouraged. If you have any suggestions for a future CCC, leave a comment.

LET'S BEGIN!
