You will enjoy 'Splatterpus' who was born of the very first brainstorm session for MB3 in a chat window with Norm (I believe he had the critter, I had the pun). Weird how we are all on the same page.

(political disclaimer)
Lest anyone think my previous comment show's anti-GOP bias (well, of course it does) to be fair I'm perfectly willing to point out that in 4 or 8 years the right-wing of the big political vulture in the sky will be able to blame it all on the democrats (a strategy that worked very well in reverse in this election cycle.)
My own personal opinion of our two party system is that they have evolved to become two horns on the same devil (yes, that's my metaphor, pretty catchy, amirite?)
I still think Kodiak Moment is a bit outdated though.

It's a great pun a made me smile.
Kodak makes digital cameras, so I don't see what the problem is. Maybe he pixelates his opponent?

OK, OK, no more shooting at the white flag.
I admit to just wanting to put "8-track tapes and GOP hegemony" in the same sentence.
I guess my "grumpy old man" was showing.
Maybe I can redeem myself by suggesting a defensive ability for Kodiak Moment.
Namely his ability to morph, Collosus-style, into his shiny Kodiakchromium armor.
That'd make him pretty formidable, unless one his opponents were somehow able to take it away from him.
(uh oh, I guess I'm the one dating myself now. Do kids today even know who Paul Simon is?)

I like it
Kodak is at the heart of Rochester, my old college town. They got a leaky heart valve and are fading fast, taking most of the area with them. The pithy summation is that they passed on the chance to be the champion of digital photography, ignored the technology too long, and now their late game surge trying to adopt it is less business strategy, more last gasp.
Nothing about that though hurts the bear's viability in my eyes. It actually adds a neat edge to his trajectory that he's dying. Sort of like Terry Fox running across Canada months before losing his fight with cancer or Warren Zevon releasing his best album from his death bed. But with more blood spray.
All that said, we already have a bear, so idunno, I think mister Kodiak lost his seat on the pain train. I want you to give me all that pun craft and all that creativity because:

One Spot Left
WE HAVE ONE SPOT LEFT!
So I submitted the final doc so that Jonathancg could work his writer man magic and crank out the origins. The editors also took a look, and one of the beasts is getting the boot. So that means we have a solitary spot in skirmish left.
I've gone through all forums submissions, snatched up a few, left others. With powers / animal type cross over, you should consider everything submitted to this point as reviewed and off the table. So new concepts, not riffs and evolutions, only.
Please folks, gimme one more critter. Write him up, give him a silly name. Take a stab at some powers. Just be aware this creature cannot be:

That's a good one, Tweedy. Creepy beasties those Jellyfish, I don't see what Spongebob finds so endearing about them.
Then again, also from the aquatic (and dark realms of the netherworld), the Lovecraftian Goose Barnacle Log seems ready-made, needing literally no enhancement.
Hard to beat a creature that can turn its opponents into filthy gibbering lunatic priests.
Wild-card elimination round matchup required, perhaps?

Hive mind (aka Stingsalot aka B-bad aka The Sisterhood)
A radioactive swarm of bees (each the size of a Chihuahua with a stinger to match), their half-life exceeds their opponents life expectancy. Don't tell these crazy sisters that suicide is for losers because they will sting your face off. They fight for the hive and die for the hive. This monster is the greatest apian menace since Michael Caine got his ass kicked (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078350/).
Also (scraping the barrel)... Shitstorm the dung beatle (sounds like a failed X-man).
