The Showdown

Most people who throw threats or insults my way find it to be a frustrating experience because they never stimulate responses. Mainly because I'm too lazy to...However, when people start questioning...nay..mocking fundamental tenets of life on this planet..then someone's gotta take a stand! So, in continuation with my previous post...and not in continuation with the rantings and ravings of the zealous fanatics (who sometimes do not stop to question what it is that they believe in so fervently)...a rather objective (mostly) comparison of certain key aspects of being a superhero.

Category	Spider-Man						Superman
Genesis	Regular bloke...irradiated spider...changes that didn't seem like powers at first...Spider-Man!						Different species...what powers?! On Krypton he'd be...just another guy!
Costume	Form-fitting...black web pattern on red and blue...masked face...covered eyes...an actual costume						Red underwear over tights...yes tights..nothing for the face...hmmm...quite a disguise
Love Interest	Mary Jane Watson-Parker: Known Peter for years...likes the super alter-ego...has always loved the man himself.						Lois Lane: Has worked with Kent for years, treats him with disdain...orgasms for him in tights...the word 'shallow' comes to mind? fooled by the different hairdo...bright too apparently
Weakness	Loses powers when self-belief wanes...depends on himself to get it back						Green rocks from home, can do jack in their presence
Bottomline	Powers don't make you super, character does Sharp objects and bullets...hurt Rural America better find another hero (tall buildings a must for web-slinging)						You're not from around here...automatically makes you special Flight, X-ray vision, Immense power...must be a stretch beating up on others Wear underwear outside to prevent accidental wedgies

For the initiated...here's a list of some actual superheroes...With Great Power

Bring it on...
