Utility Superheroes


Using the theme “Utility Superheroes,” show us how our utility workers keep Roseville clean and thriving. Some ideas to get you going are:

1. Superhero Poses: Capture the unique essence and power of each superhero in a standalone, dramatic pose.

Example: Electric Empress in an electrifying pose with sparks of electricity connecting her fingertips and her eyes glowing with energy, symbolizing her control over electrical power.

2. Teamwork: Showcase how two or more superheroes collaborate to tackle a utility challenge.

Example: Water Wizard and Wastewater Warrior working together to repair blue (fresh water) and purple (recycled water) pipes underground.

3. In Action: Illustrate superheroes actively using their powers in real-world utility scenarios.

Example: Garbage Guardian compacting and minimizing a large amount of waste at a community park, turning a chaotic scene into a clean and orderly environment.
