THE 1970'S!
Oh, the 70's! Make a skin of someone who was relevant in the 70's! Or heck, make up your own character that was from the 70's! A few more points will be added if you go with the make your own character route, but for this theme, we will mainly be focusing on how much your character fits in the 70's theme.

Biography
Brothers Chuck and Hal Chandler were born in Los Angeles, California. As a test pilot for NASA in 1958,Chuck was piloting the experimental XF-13 rocket plane when he was captured by Skrull invaders. They attempted to interrogate him, but Chuck escaped, damaging the Skrulls' warp drive in the process. The Skrull saucer exploded as Chuck flew away, exposing him to strange radiation. He crashed the XF-13 in the Mojave Desert, and when his younger, crippled brother Hal attempted to rescue him, Chuck disappeared, believed to have been killed. Hal, a research scientist, discovered that Chuck's image had been imprinted on the lenses of his glasses, and that Chuck had been transformed into a two-dimensional being. When Hal wore the glasses and concentrated, he triggered a dimensional shift that caused Chuck to materialize into a three-dimensional existence. In his new form Chuck wore a green and red bodysuit, and his normal strength, speed, and durability had been tripled. As the costumed 3-D Man, Chuck fought another group of Skrull agents. He battled more Skrull infiltrators,and then battled the Cold Warrior.
