Yet, I won't bar people entering old stuff, because I feel that having no way of ascertaining if something is actually new, that bar would be unfair to people actually following it while others could ignore it... Anyway, we've called old stuff OK, too late to change our mind; food for though for edition 2015!

I'd say if their powers are technology or alien based they're sci fi. But then again a case could be made that Thor is some kind of ET... So yeah, if I was the judge (which I'm not), I'd say "depends, to be seen on case by case basis"... What do you have in mind? Characters out of existing comics?
