Thanks to Sony, we’re giving 15 Kotaku readers the chance to visit the Sony offices, check out inFamous 2 early and meet one of the game’s developers.

The only catch for this comp is that you must be able to make your own way to the Sony offices, which are located in Surry Hills in Sydney. The event is happening on Saturday May 7, from 4-6pm.

Entering is simple, all you have do is this – invent a new super hero, and give him a name and a super power. Drop your entries in the comments below. Each person is limited to one entry.

Terms and conditions can be found here.

Banhammer – Originally from the planet Stepto, Banhammer derives his power from the mystical ‘Book of Enforcement’. His powers are put to use offering mass PWNge to foul mouthed gangs such as ‘D’Modded’ the always hard to find ‘NoClippers’.
However, his true arch nemesis known as “Jtag” was born out of a routine Heat Sink repair procedure that went horribly wrong. Jtag must now spend forever more stealing everything he can from his old emploer, Developer Corp. Jtag operates under the lame persona known as ‘Dr Own Lee Forbackup’. Banhammer’s power and reach grows every single day …. “Feel my perma-ban JTAG!!!!! “

His name is Meta and his power is his ability to bend time and space, he is seemingly unstoppable, as he can travel through various worlds at will. He then realises that he is part of a universe called the internet and has been created for the sole purpose of winning a competition on a video game site. Meta starts to have questions regarding his purpose, and whether or not he will cease to exist once the competition is over.

My Superhero would be named Mr Quantum.

His powers are able to manipulate any kind of air, space or matter around him, he can create light and remove light, he can create air and remove air, or he can absorb any kind of matter and use it to his advantage.

His downside is that he’s only got about 5 minutes to use whatever matter to manipulate otherwise it will be a part of him, but luckily if it doe’s happen he does have an assistant that has found a way to splice it out of him if ever that happens.

He helps out whoever is wronged or being discriminated against, he doesn’t have a disguise or an alter-ego cause he feel’s that already people know him and can ask him for help!!!!

Power: XBL smugness. Enables the fanboy to feel they’re better than PC players and PSN players because they pay for a premium service. They recently took a power boost when PSN went down.
Power: PS3 exclusives. Renders the fanboy able to tell PC players that they get sh***y ports, and that Xbox only has Gears and Halo to play.

Not necessarily a super hero, but more a super villain – I’m entering a super villain God named Qual into the Dominance War 3D game character competition.

He’s about 3 metres tall from the back down, has long anorexic legs and arms, he has a person growing out of his back with no arms and heavy chains going through the eyes of Qual, into the eyes of the rider on top, out of his arm socket and chained back to Quals legs. He has no supernatural abilities except for his appearance. He also has giant blades slashed into his stump arms bound with barbed wire. The sculpt is almost done for anyone keen to see 🙂
