My protagonist, Water Man has a monochromatic color scheme, wearing only shades of blue. Blue is calming and cool. People tend to have a lot of trust in blue because it makes you feel safe. Blue also has an affinity with nature, particularly water, which is also a characteristic of my superhero. Not only can blue be calming, but it can also be turbulent. My character is typically calm and friendly, but when needed, he can come to life with the force of a hurricane, transforming into a water being as needed. On any given day he will blend in, but he is not afraid to show his true powers when necessary.
Water Man is naturally always shown in bright lights because he is a good guy who protects people. When sunlight shows through his water form, he can become as bright as white when needed and uses this to blind his enemies. So while the innocent can see his lighting as approachable and safe, enemies fear this terrifying light due to how it basically renders them incapable of fighting back. Also, when lighting is dim he can blend into the darkness, allowing him to be even more of a threat because he can use light or no light to have an advantage over his enemies.
My character tends to be more circular in shape. He is not sharp, because he is generally nice, innocent, and friendly. When he transforms into his element of nature, water, he can manipulate himself really into anything, with the basic shape being more rounded rather than jagged. The circular shape also lends to the idea of a circle of trust, because as a protagonist he protects people and instills faith in them and in general works to protect the good in society. His round figure makes him more approachable, and people tend to want to be around him more as a result.

My antagonist, Fire Boy is the opposite of Water Man. He is pure evil and uses the element of fire to do his bidding. Fire Boy's color scheme has multiple shades of red with a monochromatic color scheme opposite of Water Man. Dark shades of red give the feeling of being angry and hot temperature wise. Considering Fire Boy is made of fire, this makes sense. He is vicious and uncaring to those in need. He will do anything he wants and does not care who is in his way. His red hue is a terrifying sight for anyone to see.
Fire Boy prefers to be in darkness over the light. It makes him that much more scary when his flames appear. Dark lighting is a fear of many people because there is no way of telling what is there. It is the fear of the unknown that makes dark to no lighting so frightening, and Fire Boy loves this. As he bursts into flames in the dark, he can see the fear in his victims eyes and he goes in for the kill. The only way for Water Man to combat this is to blend into the darkness as well.
Fire Boy, unlike Water Man, is jagged as well as triangular. This makes him look sharp, unapproachable and undesirable. Also, when he goes into his fire form, his flames are also pointed and ugly triangles. There is nothing soft about him because he is such an evil and power hungry villain. In public, people are scared of his abnormally triangular shape because it is just so different from anything they have ever seen. Water Man is the only element that can combat this triangular inferno of death, which is not an easy task for any hero to attempt to defeat.
