I need a creative idea for a presentation about Billy the Kid.?

I am doing a project about Billy the Kid for my college level mythology class. My two other partners are working on a paper and researching it, while I am left to do the project. This normally wouldn't be a problem, but there are 2 other groups that are doing Billy the Kid too. I really need something unique to set my presentation apart from theirs, but I dont want to do something corny. Any ideas please?

Good ideas, but few things i didn't mention. This presentation has to be tailored for 3 people including myself. Also I can't change my topic sadly as my group outvoted my choice. Democracy...

You reminded me of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" when you said Billy the Kid. Why don't you aks the professor if you can do your presentation before class starts. Set the room up like an old western town. You can even talk in front of a backdrop. Perhaps you can even dress up. Although, that would be corny. How about instead of doing the project in 3rd person you do it in 1st person as if you are Billy the Kid telling your side of the story. I don't know much about his life, but I hope this helps. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.

Tell your side of the story from Billy's view. He died young andc little was known about his life except what was published by someone else. If you were Billy back then, what would you tell people about what happened when you died.
He was also famous for (apparently) always wearing a sugar-loaf Sombrero hat with a wide green decorative band. He was little known in his own lifetime but was catapulted into legend in the year after his death when his killer, Sheriff Patrick Garrett, published a wildly sensationalistic biography of the outlaw called The Authentic Life of Billy, the Kid.
