Unlikely Super Heroes...

Aquaman is the most disdained super hero ever. Recent criticism of his lame super powers led to a correspondence between me and a friend regarding other unlikely super heroes.

Here are my contributions:

- Rocketman: the ability to hide his identity; he's not the man they think he is at home. Oh, no. No, no. He's Rocketman.
- Obamaman: the ability to convince a group of people you could be their leader even though your middle name is 'Hussein' and many of the people who support you spent the greater portion of this decade being afraid of Arabs.
- Particle-Man: the ability to be in a song by They Might Be Giants.
- Triange-Man: see above.
- Universe-Man: see above.
- Foreman: a renaissance man of sorts; he's a golfer, a construction worker, a jury member, a city in Arkansas, and, if the words "of Signals" follow his name, he is also the most highly qualified non-commissioned signal equipment managers and Incorporated Engineers in the Royal Corps of Signals.
- Bitterman: the ability to never-ever-never-ever-ever let go of a grudge.
- Walkman and Discman: both with the ability to become items that only those earning less than $20K per year possess after the ipod is released.

And, these were not some of my contributions:

- Hans Moleman - ability to perform as loveable simpsons character.
- George Foreman - ability to grill sausages.
- Moldman: the ability to speed up the molding process of food items (ie: bread)
- Landman: the ability to foresee the erosion of land for up to (and including) 10 years into the future
- Leiderman: the ability to be jewish
- Folkman: his gentle voice calms even the most hardend criminal.
- Milkman: can deliver milk and dairy goods on an almost regular basis.
- Tim the Toolman Taylor - can captivate an audience of millions with fresh, new ideas in comedy.
- The Belt Brothers: they borrow each others belts for the greater good of the galaxy.
- Talkman: he can talk really slow or really fast.
- Hoboman: can collect change from passersby in a matter of hours.

However, we could have never been ready for the power of Tree Man from Indonesia.
