I wonder if I can join the squad if I walk around in my underoos, make "snikt snikt" noises under my breath and call people "Bub" all the time.

Oh fuck it, I'm gonna do that anyway.

Um, we have one. His name's Zetaman. Your buddies over at the Willie Week have already been there, done that, bought the codpiece back in 2008.

Google "Zetaman portland" for linkage.

These guys are awesome. So out of shape.

In a fight, I'm pretty sure the last thing you want is a cape tied around your neck. You enemy is going to swing you around by that sucker while you choke to death.

"Master Legend" is the greatest superhero name of all time. What does that even mean? Besides excellence, I mean.

FYI, you said this is in Cleveland, but CNN says it's going down in Cincinnati. They are two different cities.

Great. All we need are some masked guys with inferiority complexes macing and cuffing us when they assume we're bad guys.

Shadowhair is the best superhero name that ever there was.

scooped on this? more like pooperscooped! Being beat to the punch (get it) to cover ultradweebs isn't necessarily baaad thing. But then I'm sure the word dweeb was used before too. Is a blog post a cover story? I missed something. I did a cover story about confusion once...

Shadowhair might have been a great superhero name. But his name is ShadowHARE, as in a super-scary dark bunny.
