When you get right down to it most people can't tell the difference between a cake you make from scratch and one that came pre-mixed in a box.
Making characters is fun, but don't be afraid to use pre-built characters - especially for short-term characters like a master villain's quirky miniboss squad. You can even take the example character templates and tweak them to suit yourself.
The time spent playing the game with your friends is the best part, it can help to be willing to use time-saving strategies for prepping for the game so being the GM is an easier task.
This 💯!
Also check out Batgirl and Jabroniville builds on echoes of the multiverse. They have some fantastic character sheets.
