Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Medusa (DC Comics)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) This image depicts the character Medusa as she appeared in a 2011 promotional video by Mike Allred, produced by MAC Cosmetics to promote their Wonder Woman-themed cosmetics line. Because the Wikipedia article discusses the evolution of the character across several different comic book eras and several forms of media, this image is provided for the purposes of context and comparison.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with
textual coverage because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Because comics are a highly visual medium, it is sometimes necessary to provide illustrations to adequately define and represent the objects of discussion in a Wikipedia article.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) This is a low-resolution screenshot of a single frame from a promotional video. It is of insufficient quality to be used for the purposes of printed reproduction.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
Other information This image is a screenshot from a 2011 promotional video illustrated and animated by Mike Allred, produced by MAC Cosmetics.

It is believed that the use of low-resolution screenshots to illustrate the copyrighted character depicted; where no free alternative exists or can be created, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.
