The Place Where Ludington Talks

The Superhero in You

As a kid, I grew up reading comic books on the side, and a fair portion of these dealt with the exploits of a spandex-clad mythical person called a superhero. As I've matured, I have noticed that these same characters have enjoyed a good deal of popularity on TV and film, as long as continued success in the comics. There are many hundreds of costumed mutants, aliens, and regular folks who have fought for truth, justice, and the American Way in modern lore.

As many of these goals are shared by the typical Torchbearer, we perhaps can make the leap into being a group of superheroes ourselves. A bunch of reprobates tonking away at their keyboards? No, we are a Justice League, a band of X-Men (XLFD-men!?), etc. intent on helping our community with our special talents and abilities.

With that in mind, which superhero do you most closely associate yourselves with, and/or which superhero is your favorite? Please explain your choice(s), but don't explain too much, so that we doubt you have anything but a firm foothold in reality.

Technician's Corner:
Christopher, you are so used to entering your own expertly done pictures that you probably haven't added pics to comments yet. To do this, when you press the "reply to this" triangle to respond to someone, a camera shows at the far right of your icons which says "add an image" when you put the cursor on it.

Click that and you get the opportunity to 'browse' your computer to find the image you wish to add. When added, it will appear as gibberish code on your post, but will come up as a picture when you add the reply. You could also add up to three text or picture files by clicking the "upload files" at the bottom left of your reply box, and 'browsing'. Try it a couple of times.
