Been all over the news today. Seems there is an actual league of heroes in the US. Oddly enough, none in Canadia. Take a look at these guys in the registry and see which hero you can call on if you ever need one!! And it looks like the closest to me would be in NY and goes by the name of the Furious Felcher.. wow. I say we should all join just to be super cool like these guys! So the question, what would you use as a super-hero name, and what would you wear?

I am somehow unsurprised that these super heroes look very similar to nerds dressed up for a comicon.

I think I'd prefer to call on Bi-Polar Man.

If I was a super hero, I would be anxiety girl.

Wow. You can't call yourself anything with the word arrow in it unless you shoot arrows or something.
This guys are viligantees, or bounty hunters with certification? I mean, this is some illegal stuff going on.

Illegal, but funny. That's why I don't think they are being taken seriously. Look at the CNN vid clip .here

This would be my outfit.
The black and white outfit would be default, and the red and black is the typical opposite costumed villain that everyone seems to have.

I think "The Black Monday Society" is probably the most badass name for a superhero group ever. I read a whole bunch about this stuff from various articles around the webz. I think there is even a movie about the fake superheroes.

We should start a large-scale criminal association to counter them.*

*Oh wait, it already exists. It is called the NAACP.**

Some of them don't pretend to fight crime. This one guy just dresses up as a super hero to amuse the kids at this children's hospital where he volunteers to help out.

My favorite guy is Tothian, because he just slightly ripped off the green lantern logo and because his identity is listed as "Secret" even though he has no mask.

Now that's a real hero.
Also, no one is telling me how cool my hero design is. I will assume that everyone feels it is so.

I would say it's 'cool' in the sense that it explains what one of your many many avatars was.

I totally designed the mask first.
I got my paper cutout mask picture on the yearbook cover. I can scan that for you folks if you'd like to see it.
Also, you might notice how sexy I am, ladies and ed.

Actually, I was wrong. I was just looking at the registry and the guy I was thinking of does do that, but he also tries to fight crime and believes he has voodoo powers or some such nonsense.

I just find it sad how almost all of the quotes about the superheroes are taken from their MySpace page.
