I think whomever came up with this superhero assignment thought that there might be some amusing results, so I have obliged. I present Bowlerman.
Bowlerman hails from the planet Bowltron, a planet whose entire surface is a bowling hippodrome. He has a lurid costume and zebra striped bowling shoes so he is camouflaged and blends into his natural habitat at the bowling arena. When hostilities break out, however, he leaves the confines of the bowling colisuem and enters the real world, where his costume then acts as a blinding, paralyzing, phantasmagorical distraction to evil-doers, communists, and individuals who do not like The Big Lebowski. He can then unleash his levitating, artificially intelligent Balls of Freedom to vanquish his spineless, vacuous enemies. He has three bowling ball holes in his head that serve no purpose.
Interestingly enough, I got the form for this character from a photo of Richard Nixon bowling. I sketched it in pen and colored it in Photoshop. Some other ideas I had were based on Hindu deity Ganesha, called Karmageddon, Dudeman, a guy on a surfboard who ends fights and wars by telling jokes and giving out free beer, and Nanoman, a character that could break into many different tiny pieces and take over enemy computer systems.
