I've often felt that comic book publishers have missed a trick - not product placement exactly but person placement!

For example, I would pay a reasonable sum of money to be cast as one of Catwoman's minions in a featured role, one of Poison Ivy's entranced victims or an evil villain pitted against Lesley Shane (a name check and a reasonable facsimile of my image would do - think Herbie) - my immortality assured for generations of comic book fans to come!

Or how great it would be for superhero to be created in my image with my true name as the character's secret identity - I could be New Bouncing Boy, Doll Lad (though I would prefer Action Figure Lad) or Monochrome Kid!

What do you think?

How would you like to be depicted?

DC has done that as prizes for things. Here's a story on one such incident https://www.cbr.com/batman-aldrin-stoja-charity-auction-winner-victim-attacker/

I have heard of mystery authors running auctions for victims, I'm just not sure why someone would pay to be a victim. 

I think I've heard of some webcartoonists doing something like that as well.

From what I hear DC has to prove themselves as profitable to their new owners, so that could be an option. "Pays ya money, send in ya picture, youse could be a victim!"
