Similar to to the source of Aquaman's super-ness.<br /><br />Then there are creations with super breath, heat vision, x-ray vision, 4 in 1 remote control vision, the vulnerabilities to types of kryptonite, can be offset by others, etc. The list of powers Superman had at one stage or another is mind boggling.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298691125378912723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114132119792854667.post-81584853718247857402012-02-24T13:22:14.017+10:302012-02-24T13:22:14.017+10:30Gold, no that's not The Phantom.

The only reason Superman survived was by projecting a hologram of his own dead body to make LOBO think he was dead and leave.<br /><br />And this happened in a Superman comic.Brett Minorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181569922751252054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114132119792854667.post-57016829748244712332012-02-23T15:46:47.566+10:302012-02-23T15:46:47.566+10:30The Phantom sounds absolutely amazing.

Would a tattoo of a unicorn be better? He believes in punishment through humiliation. If that is the case, why stop there? Why does it have to be a ring on his finger? Why not a body piercing?<br /><br />If *that* was the case then, (get ready Phantom fans, here's crude joke about to prove that there is no such thing as "niche" on the Internet) Diana Palmer would have several skull marks on her chin.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298691125378912723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114132119792854667.post-30991749555614143362012-02-23T13:08:26.618+10:302012-02-23T13:08:26.618+10:30A woman moves into an apartment in Chicago's S...A woman moves into an apartment in Chicago's Sears Tower. After moving everything in, she decides she's bored, but doesn't know anyone. So she heads up to the 96th floor where there is a bar. When she gets there, there is a bartender and one man sitting at the bar.<br /><br />As she sits down, she says, "Hi" to the man. "How are you doing?" The man looks up and says, "I'm fine. Just sitting here, drinking my magical beer." Oh, boy, thinks the woman, we've got a nut on our hands. But there is no one else in the bar, and she is lonely, so she asks, "What makes that a magical beer?"<br /><br />The man says, "If I drink the rest of this beer, it will give me the power to fly." When the woman rolls her eyes, he says, "No, really! Watch!" He chugs the beer, walks over to a window, which he opens, hops out and flies seven times around the building before coming back in and settling on his bar stool.<br /><br />"That's amazing!" the woman says. "Will that work for me?" "Sure!" says the man. So the woman looks at the bartender and says, "I'll have what he's having!" She takes the beer, slams it down, walks over to the window and hops out, plummeting 96 floors to her death.<br /><br />The bartender looks over at the man and says, "Superman, you are a fucking asshole when you're drunk."DogsOnDrugs.comhttp://dogsondrugs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114132119792854667.post-31195861434928333122012-02-23T10:32:56.854+10:302012-02-23T10:32:56.854+10:30I truly love the lunacy of these types of discussi...I truly love the lunacy of these types of discussions. Another of my favorites is what is your favorite weapon to kill zombies? (yes, they are already dead, but hardly the point)<br /><br />I loved the Phantom growing up as well. I think the legend had it that if he hit you with the skull ring, the mark stayed forever? I never liked Superman either and I lambasted him in one of my posts a while back. I mean, the guy isn't super on his own planet, why should I consider him to be on ours?<br /><br />The Somali pirates are no joke while Captain Jack is unfortunately.<br /><br />WG Out<br /><a href="http://itsmynd.com" rel="nofollow">http://itsmynd.com</a>WilyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867042879433282534noreply@blogger.com
