Magneto's pristine plastic prison is a very good example of the trope, but I can't help but think we could do much better for it than the image we currently have. First of all, the picture's pretty dark. And second, it's all zoomed out, and we can't actually see the inmate. From that distance, it's hard to tell that it's made of plastic.

Yep, that is poorly visible:

Tried to brighten but loses quality very rapidly; would have to be recaptured from source I think.

Slightly brighter version of current: [1]. Not exactly great quality either.

Concept art for the cell: [2]

I'd personally like a crop of the concept art most, but don't know our policy- do we need permission in this case?

I wonder; is it good for our picture of such a prison being the person it was supposed to hold escaping?

[up] That's not relevant to being tailor-made, in fact the description notes that more often than not the villains manage to escape.

Well, if it's tailor-made, it means there's a strong captive to be put there, which generally means a major villain, who people usually want to see more of.

I think the brighter version in #4 works slightly better than the current. Not sure about the concept one. I just don't get a good feeling about it.

In the previous thread, I suggested a 2-panel version showing Magneto in the cell and the current pic...would that work better?
