With the recent movie releases of Iron Man, The Hulk, Spiderman, Dark Knight, Watchmen, etc., it is apparent that the superhero (and supervillian) are back in vogue. However, all of the superheroes and villains showing up in the theaters these days are rather, shall we say, long in the tooth (i.e., they old).What we need now is a brand new cast of characters for the relatively new millennium. And I am happy to report that I have filled this need. But due to a lack of creativity (and time...and inclination...and attention sp—ooh, what was that??), I didn't make them up from scratch. Rather, I used our current crop for inspiration, and made minor improvements wherever possible:
The Shadow (with the ability to cloud men's minds), replaced with
Weatherman Man (with the ability to cloud men’s skies)
Superman (Man of Steel), replaced with
Bolgerman (Man of Tin)
Hellboy (Demon-hero of the comic-geek set), replaced with
Heckboy (Demon-hero of the politically-correct set)
The Mighty Thor (God of Thunder), replaced with
The Mighty Bore (God of Blunder)
And let’s not forget the bad guys:
The Clown Prince of Crime, replaced with
The Clown Prince of Music
