Superheroes

Sometimes, we all need a guardian angel. Not the spiritual kind. The real kind. Like Spiderman coming to rescue us just before the el-train runs off the end of the track into the river. Or Superman swooping in to catch us just before we hit the ground after falling 120 stories off the skyscraper. Or maybe, just a guy like us but dressed as a... fox. Otherwise known as, Firefox. He (?) lives in Michigan. Or, the Black Arrow from the United Kingdom. Or, The Eye from California. What about Captain Jackson from Michigan? Looks like he modified a Batman costume, but hey, he's fighting crime. And he didn't ask for the job. It just sorta happened. Really? The suit was on the front porch one morning and you felt compelled to put it on? dun dun dun... Captain Jackson!!

I especially like the superheroes who have arch enemies. Like Tothian, Knight Errant from New Jersey. Not sure what a Knight Errant is. Some kind of title with "errant" in it sounds sort of... well, out of the ordinary. Makes sense when you think about being a superhero. Anyway, his arch enemies are Omar Al-Bashir and Osama Bin Laden. Um, dude. I think those guys are most everyones' arch enemies. You need to be watching out for the 12 year old sneaking up behind you trying to give you a power wedgie for wearing your jammies during the day.

Another favorite is Angel Grinder Man from England. He patrols the streets and night looking for cars that have been wheel-clamped. Ever seen those strange devices clamped on a wheel of a parked car? Well, this guy looks for them and uses a big tool to cut the clamp off the car. Nifty costume, fella.

Some of the costumes are interesting. The Red Arrow from Hong Kong. Red arrow on his head pointing behind him. Red arrow on his chest pointing down. Wonder if he's the superhero for the directionally challenged.

Polar Man has a shovel and he is not afraid to use it. Shoveling snow from sidewalks and whatnot. Wonder if he uses it to shovel poo?

Some of the names are interesting. Shadow Hare. Citizen Prime. Green Scorpion. Nostrum. Superhero. Yeah, that guy put alot of thought into that one. But hey, he has a cool car. Superbarrio. I think he might be a retired wrassler. Doktor DiscorD. Wonder if he is Doktor Kaboom on weekends? Nix. Mr. Silent. Is he a crimefighting mime? He'd help but he's stuck in that darned box again.

Anyway, have fun checking that out. I'm thinking about having a superhero name. Maybe "The Farter". dun dun dun... oops, 'scuse me.

What would your superhero name be?
