Sanford Greene tackles the early design phase, which is crucial for creating unique silhouettes and traits for characters, even with similar builds. Take Daredevil, Iron Fist, Captain America, and Black Panther as examples. You’ll see how adjusting their physical attributes—like height, build, and special features—helps differentiate them and reflect their abilities. This means considering their backgrounds, like Daredevil's agility and boxing skills, to emphasize their uniqueness. This design step is vital for making characters that stand out and stay true to their stories.
