Of COURSE fight scenes ARE encouraged, Captain Canuck is a superhero after all, give him something to do! Artwork can be serious or humorous, use your style to envision the Captain as you see him... and HAVE FUN WITH IT!
Lastly, please remember the intention of this contest is to pay TRIBUTE to CAPTAIN CANUCK and to honor is creator Richard Comely, so please treat the character with the respect that it deserves.
