Enter! Miscellaneous Avatar contest: Squirrels!

[LitmusDragon]

Congrats to Lumi, who won the last contest with her cute chameleon! I believe Lumi did not want to do the next contest (from a PM conversation), and she hasn't been around for a few days, so rather than let the contest lapse I guess it falls to me as the second place finisher. So here we go.

For this contest's theme I've decided to go with Squirrels. Those lovable rodents who live in the trees. Since this is a rather narrow theme I've decided you can enter any kind of squirrel, be it a real squirrel, a squirrel from media or television, or a photoshop of a squirrel. Basically anything squirrel-related.

Entries must adhere to the forum rules for avatars: 150 by 150 pixels or 140.0 KB (whichever is smaller).

I'll be entering this imposing little fellow:

Scott - You get laser eyes and shall become Cyclops.
Jean - Here's some telekinesis for you, but no cool name yet.
Ororo - Weather control... umm... Storm!
Logan - Wolverine, you get invincibility and bone claws.

Uhh, you, girl who looks like a fur covered turd, c'mere. Yeah, we're all out of cool and useful mutant powers, so I'm gonna have to go ahead and give you an empathic bond with tiny woodland vermin. How's that sound, Squirrel Girl? Yeah, I totally just thought that name up right now. Sorry, I can't give you an empathic connection to bears or wolves or any ferocious animals who would be good in a fight. Good luck fighting evil.

To be fair, at least half the squirrels appearing in the thread so far seem to be trying their hardest...we'll make fighters of 'em yet.

Slappy and Skippy Squirrel from Animaniacs

 

[Deranged Nasat]

This one wil be difficult to choose for.

Who knew the world of squirrels had such variety?

 

[Kai "the spy"]

^ Yeah. I've even had an alternative. It's Spip from the Spirou comics.

I chose my other one for two reasons.
1. I suspect Spirou might not be such a well-known character in the US (though his spin-off character Marsupilami propably is).
2. The one I chose is just so damned cute.
