inspired by a comment elsewhere, here's mine:

1 - superman (for the uberslick hair, kiss curl and bottlerim glasses)
2 - batman (for the hi-tech toys, and the angst)
3 - dangermouse (because wherever there is danger he'll be there)
4 - silver surfer (one of those retro americana cold-war anxiety-driven things, and because he's silver)
5 - spiderman (because he can climb up walls and swing around, and stuff...)

You're all wrong.

There is only...

Judge Dredd: I AM THE LAW! (And he kicks The Batman's arse in Judgement on Gotham)

f**k. how could i forget dredd!

1 - judge dredd (because he is the law)
2 - superman (for the uberslick hair, kiss curl and bottlerim glasses)
3 - batman (for the hi-tech toys, and the angst)
4 - dangermouse (because wherever there is danger he'll be there)
5 - silver surfer (one of those retro americana cold-war anxiety-driven things, and because he's silver)
6 - spiderman (because he can climb up walls and swing around, and stuff...)


thanks mf

<GEEK>I wanted to pick Dredd but didn't - no super powers</GEEK>

The Batman has no superpowers either. No-one's suggesting he's not a superhero.

Didn't pick him either!

Batman's always decent and there's far too much Dredd + 2000AD stuff in my house.

Can we make it a top 10?!?

So you didn't. My mistake

Does the blue chick from X Men count as a super hero?

Probly

yeah, i'm working on a really loose definition of "superhero" to be fair

if they have some kin dope power or ability (be it by birth, by mutation, or by high tech gadgetry or sheer force of will), and they use it for good, i'm happy for it to be classed as "superhero"

In that case.....

Batman: Black stuff & cool toys & a cave full of pooters.
Superman: He can fly & make the world spin backwards.
Wonder Woman: Bullet deflecting bangles.
Mystique: Wears blue paint & shape shifts
Spidey: Does whatever a spider can

What? No Swamp Thing?

If we're just talking comic book characters it would be a very different look to heroes who actually have Super Powers. And would that include Super Villains? The Joker for example, one of the finest villains ever. But no super powers to speak of.

I dunno.
His pencil trick was pretty cool.

On a vaguely related note, my signed copy of this arrived today:

& by Slaine's own fair hand too.
His hand-writing's a bit scruffy innit?
