Greetings Heroes and Villains of fair Portlandia!

On behalf of the Alter Egos Society, Drunken Rampage Events, and all of the event organizers, I extend our thanks to all who attended for making this year’s Power Struggle the best yet!

We are gathering photos from the event on Flickr in the group pool The Alter Egos: Power Struggle! 2010. We welcome anyone with photographic evidence of this epic Power Struggle to submit their pictures!

After all was said and done, the Heroes won the day; first triumphing over the Villains in the Super Olympics, and then in the Dueling Duets. Well done, Heroes of Portland, and better luck next time, Villains.

Congratulations to our contest winners:
* The Buzz – The WTF? Award
* SuperGrrrl – Team Spirit Award
* The Porntastic Four – Best Group Award
* Robosquid – Best Functionality Award
* Dark Nova – Best Villain
* Safety Chicken – Best Hero
* BRIDEZILLA! – Best Alter Ego

We’d also like to extend our gratitude to Things From Another World for sponsoring our Grand Prizes (Best Villain, Hero & Alter Ego), and to all our other prize sponsors–all of them local businesses supporting local causes:
* Bridge City Comics
* Cosmic Monkey Comics
* Dark Horse Comics
* Floating World Comics
* Guardian Games
* Stumptown Comics Foundation

And we’d like to give special thanks to Cort & Fatboy, Geek in the City, and Atomic Arts for additional promotion of the event.

Again, the Alter Egos Society thanks you for your interest and participation. We hope to see you at events in the future!

On Saturday, April 12th, 2008, Portland’s premier superhero and supervillain organization invite costumed adventurers of all stripes to join us for ALTER EGOS: New Recruits, a superhero/supervillain bar crawl.

This event is a collaborative effort between DrunkenRampage.com and the Alter Egos Society to encourage creativity and merrymaking and to raise interest in the 2nd annual charity event, ALTER EGOS: Hero/Villain Ceasefire Party in the Fall of 2008.

Beginning at 6pm villains and heroes will start downtown in different bars (The Crown Room and R Palate, respectively) before the opposing forces face off for drinks at Blitz and CC Slaughters.

Activities and contests will include a dance-off between good and evil, and “You’ve Met Your Match” (finding your arch-nemesis, speed dating style). Prizes for contests will be provided by Stumptown Comics Foundation, Bridge City Comics, Cosmic Monkey Comics, and Floating World Comics. Participants must come costumed as heroes or villains of their own creation (to avoid ridicule as an obvious knockoff). They are also required to bring a valid ID and are encouraged to bring cash.
