FC – I definitely agree with you on the Batman thing – though for different reasons. His suit is rubber and you know he’d be sporting a nasty chafing rash. There is nothing worse than a superhero with a rash, let me tell you. I am going to have to go with a more obscure superhero, or rather group of superheroes. Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go would be my choice for the following reasons:a) Monkeys and robots – who can’t win with a team like that?b) It would attract a lot of attention thus allowing me to succeed with mediocre biking skills.c) I would be popular with the under-10 set, which, as anyone knows, is the most vital demographic.

Hey now, just ‘cuz you missed out on the best comic book EVER when you were a kid isn’t any reason to hmph on it.
Okay, I admit, it’s the only one I could add because it was the only comic I ever collected. Still, I’ve always felt that his mad skills combined with his inherent stupidity would’ve made Groo an interesting character to hang out with. Take it or leave it.

What about Spleen Man (Mystery Men)? He’d drop a guy or two in a tight pack. And that’s a legitmate power anyone can get, given enough spicy food/bean dip. Just a thought.

This sounds like a job for Bicycle Repair Man

Remember when Fatty tried to give that girl a push at Leadville and instead just ended up with his hand on her butt? That was awesome. I’m sorry Fatty, but I don’t think real superheros have awkward moments like that. You can still have a lair though.

Great post! I was thinking about that guy, Angel, in the third X-Man movie. Because he can already fly, he’s probably not going to get that much of a thrill out of droppin’ you on a downhill. And if he spreads out his wings, it’d be like drafting behind a semi-trailer. Talk about windshield.

Yes, I need to read more comic books, or graphic novels to us snooty teacher-types. Since Lance is out, Catwoman is in (Ertha Kitt, not Halle Berry), and if that’s not enough, Batgirl!

In a probably futile attempt to get the last word, all I have to say is that my superhero could beat up your superhero any day of the week.

KeepYerBag – Isis! Yes! I’m having Saturday morning cartoon (except she was real-life, making her super-awesome) right this minute.

Isis, Electrawoman and Dynagirl would be an awesome basis for a pro women’s team.

I’m going with Elastigirl on this one (are The Incredibles bona-fide superheroes?). That way if (when?) I fall back on a climb, she could just stretch her arm back and give me a push. Kind of like the lady who gave my friend Eric a push a while back on the road climb up to the trailhead as she was passing him. She was so fast that she almost caught me peeing because I thought I had plenty of time to finish before she got there.

Only problem with riding with Elastigirl or any girl for that matter is that fatty would probably accuse me of staring at her butt.
