This is the superhero character I created using https://www.dckids.com/dc-super-friends/htmlgame/name/super-hero-me. Needless to say, it was the first time I’d ever done anything of that nature and although that site was pretty basic, it was fun and my kids were so startled to see Mommy creating a Super Hero character!
