If that were a pot of boiling water she’s carrying, and if he really were Lobsterman, I’d be getting murderously naughty ideas….

Somehow I find the rich superheroes more believable.

The wealthy have time to be super heroes as they can sleep all day.

Maybe LobstahMan can kill spammers. That would be a useful superpower.

I love when accents are written so well that you can actually hear them in your mind. Kudos, Wiley!

Broccoli Man has been covering your back for the past 5 years. The fact you are alive and well, and still never heard of him is testiment to his incredible super powers.

Was Superman a wealthy super hero. I thought he was a mild mannered reporter on the Daily Planet.
ellisaana Premium Member over 13 years ago
A reporter would be white collar, not blue collar. Maybe not wealthy though.
How about: Wolverine?
Or the Tick. Don’t know what kind of collar, but he is definitely blue.
AKHenderson Premium Member over 13 years ago
I can see it now…Lobstah Man has been captured by his arch enemy, and is now hanging from his ankles while being slowly lowered into a vat of lemon butter. Will Lobstah man escape? Tune in tomorrow, same Lob-time, same Lob-channel!

Wiley - I’d love to see one of Cap’n Eddie’s Lobstah-Man stories.
ellisaana - I was a reporter for years. Whatever collar we wore, nobody was wealthy (except the owners).
And Re: Blue collar super-heroes:
Many years ago, Stan Lee (creator of Spider-Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, X-Men, etc. etc.) wrote a story in which Spidey tried to join the F.F. because he thought they received a salary, and he needed the money. (PS: they don’t.)

My favorite story about superheroes was written by Larry Niven, titled, “Man Of Steel, Woman of Kleenex”, and you can read an authorized copy here: http://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html
