And it looks like someone just set a pile of skulls on fire, which is technically this trope, but doesn't really fit the spirit.

Surely there is some RPG monster or Heavy Metal album cover that shows this trope well.

How About Ghost Rider?

from the movie

The cover from one of the comics

Prefer movie version.

Ghost Rider is very much this trope. I like the composition on the first one better. That's not one of the better comic images.

While I do like Ghost Rider, I figured no harm in suggesting the Lost Souls.

[up] Eh, I'd rather something a bit less 8-bit and the first image has the same issue the current one does.

[up]The second one looks better shrunk (and it's not 8-bit, as that's CPU word size, not resolution).

[up] Only 4 and 5 look like flames. Maybe 2. 1 and 3 don't look like fire at all.

Still, always good to get a few more options.

That Scorpion pic is a bit too out-of-focus for my liking...so far, the film Ghost Rider and the cropped/resized Lost Souls pics are my favorites.

Bump for more votes. As of right now:

  • Lost Souls: +8 (yeas:9 nays:1) 9.00 : 1
  • Ghost Rider: +3 (yeas:6 nays:3) 2.00 : 1

The others are in the negative.

Huh, even if I suggested them, I'm surprised the Lost Souls are doing so well. I would have figured Ghost Rider would be a shoo-in.

A +14 Ghost Rider is the only one in the green. I think we can call it.

No, it has to stabilize. It wasn't that way a couple days ago, so we can't call this.

And now it's at +15 and the only one in the green. We should still give it at least one more day to see how the voting turns out.

If it continues to climb, and none of the others make a move back up, I'd say we can put it up without waiting for the final number to stabilize. Tomorrow would be good.

The numbers haven't changed, so this one's ready to call. The new pic is up, potholed, and tagged, and I've made an Image Links page with the old pic and the other crowner options. Calling for a lock.
