Change the font, add a stroke or drop shadow, and play with the blend mode and/or opacity.
Try and pick fonts that fit the image.

Thank you very much for your comments. Text has never been my strong point, don't know why??? Is there any tutorial that tells you how to make good text. Would really appreciate it.
Also, any other suggestions on making the banner better.
Text gives a lot of people problems, including myself.

....umm....the advice I gave you basically WAS a tutorial. It takes no more than 30 seconds to do those things.
It's not hard at all, it's probably the easiest and most basic part of the sig.

I'm making a sig of General Grievous, and I made the focus dark and eery. His eyes are so dark that you can barely even see the pupils. I was wondering if it'd look cool if I added little red lights where his pupils should be so it'd look more evil and stuff?

Red evil eyes on Grievous? No, don't do it.
Take the Dodge tool (if you have Photoshop) and lightly brush around his eyes to bring some of the original color back.

...well on a white background, Grievous is way too dark and you can't tell what he is.

Use a Levels adjustment layer, and bring out the white a tad bit more.
