NESN Photochop: What Superpowers Does Kobe Bryant’s Mask Give Him?

Kobe Bryant has long been an NBA superstar, but now he’s looking more and more like a superhero.

After breaking his nose in the All-Star Game thanks to a hard foul by Dwyane Wade, Bryant’s been wearing a protective mask that makes him look a little less like a future Hall of Famer and more like a comic book hero. Or villain, depending on whether or not you’re from Boston.

We want to see your creativity at work. Send us your best altered version of this photo, with your best prediction of what kind of superhero or supervillain Bryant would be. Email us at photos@nesn.com and be sure to include “Kobe Bryant photochop” in the subject line

Would he use his powers for good, joining the Super Friends and taking Aquaman’s place?

Or would he turn to a life of crime, terrorizing Gotham as The Riddler?

Again, send your best work to photos@nesn.com with “Kobe Bryant photochop” in the headline and the best of the bunch will be spotlighted in a photo gallery on NESN.com. Good luck.
