Last Friday (15 April) saw the latest costume contest to be held on the Union server. Dozens of hopeful heroes pulled on their freshly cleaned formal costumes and did their best to impress the judges and contest organiser Hobojack, in an effort to win a share of the 5 million Influence prize fund.

After some hard decisions, the entrants were narrowed down to a final ten, and then from those to five finalists. The eventual runners-up were Heretic, Silent Edge and Feirce Natz, who walked away with a million Influence each, and the winner was Chance, seen here in her stunning blue and white costume collecting her 2 million Influence prize from organiser Hobojack.

You can read all about the contest and see some screenshots in this thread on the Union board, or take a look at Issue #4 of Justin Tyme’s online City of Heroes newpaper, the Galaxy City Post & Tymes, which has a feature about the contest.
