Steve Bonahoom's Hero/Villain
There is no more obvious symbol of happiness and cheerfulness than a clown, and so its pretty obvious that the clown character stands as the hero in this situation. The alien is a symbol for an "outsider", something not natural to this earth coming to threaten the inhabitants and promote fear. The contrast between these characters is very obvious visually. The dopey grin on the face of the clown and the drawn, depressed look on the alien's face couldn't be more different. The colors also provide a very obvious contrast. The clown, predictably enough, is comprised of largely saturated colors in various bright hues, making him seem more bright and approachable and, ultimately, good. The alien, however, is muddled with very dark colors. Nothing is very bright, and in fact the only color that really stands out on him is the red that makes up his costume, which is a power of color but also of danger.

Brie Donovan's Hero/Villain
Igor is the villain and Glen is the Hero. Glen is in a wheelchair while Igor has use of his legs. This gives the two characters both different movement types. Glen uses his wheelchair to get around giving him a more smooth movement. Igor has more of a normal walk while he uses his legs. Igor would have more weight in his movements because he is using his muscles rather than a machine to get around. Glen would have a parallel movement because he uses the wheelchair to run on the ground making him a little more parallel to the ground. He would also would have overlapping movements too because he is using his hands on the wheelchair to get around. The hands are overlapping the wheel because he has to push the wheels in order to move. The contrast/affinity between these two characters are very obvious. We can see affinity between the two with the colors the creators choose. Glen has an all red suit (with some yellow) and Igor has only red in the 'I' in his shirt. This gives them affinity because they are the same color making it go together well. Contrast is also apparent with the color choices. Again Glen is in a mostly all red suit whereas Igor is in a green one. Different colors mean contrast within the characters. Another contrast is that Igor has an evil looking mustache while Glen's face is clean.
