The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

I love this signature avatar combination but I feel like it’s time for a change. Gotta have options, huh? So here are some images to choose from. I’m looking for a new avatar, signature, or both. I’m not too picky on flavor text, but if you have any questions about quotes or suggestions for some you feel suit me, I’m all ears. PM me a question and I’ll be sure to answer it. Thank you to anyone who does this. You rock!
PS: The celebrity lookalike for Shin is this guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinjiro_Atae If you want to find some cool images of him I don’t have, that’s who to google.

They look great, but I'd like to see a version with the laser deathbots quote in the place the hydropump quote is at. It feels like it might use the space better. Oh, and finally, since they seem to go so well together, I'd like to see one version with the Bring on the Laser deathbots quote at the top, the Shard in the center like it is in the hydropump one, and the hydropump quote where it's at. (I guess that's basically leaving bring on the laser deathbots where it's at in its version but moving the shard to where it's at in the hydropump quote's version, huh?) Love all these versions!

And once again, it's time to ask for a new Shin siggy. Shinjiro Atae's the face claim. Some of the photobucket links have been mislabeling him, and replacing his face with Nissy. That's Koga.
Maybe using something from one of these (and tossing on some triangles, because those are super cute):
Hey there, Shin. Just thought I'd whip something up for you on my day off from work. It's something new, I'm not used to approaching graphic art with a pop art sense of style, but I figured I might as well give it a chance. Lemme me know what you think!
It's interesting. Were you trying for a 'film strip' sort of feel? I like the triangles, but the angles for the 'film strip' are a bit strange. Maybe if it were all on a straight line, it wouldn't feel so warped? Also, the size is a bit too large. I like my signatures about 438 x 198 (Give or take a few pixels).
Also, my favorite pictures are the ones with the candy stripes, and the ones with the tuxedos. Maybe you could focus on the pictures in those ones? The first tuxedo Shin picture, where his finger is raised in a point, practically screams 'staring at tiny triangle' to me.
The orange shirt and the leaning are also great poses.
