Why Didn't I Expect This?



What overbroad and overblown characters need to really shine is a medium that can tone some of that down and make them human.

  5. Spiderman is currently defending himself from the Attack of the Rotating Eyebrows.
    Presumably Noonan acquired his superpowers after he was bitten by a radioactive caterpillar.

    His powers include eating your favorite sweater, bumping into light bulbs, and shooting silk-like fibers from his butt.

  7. His powers include . . . shooting silk-like fibers from his butt.

    That's a bug, not a feature.

  8. If D. Sidhe were here she would point out that caterpillars actually produce silk from their salivary glands, and it is the spiders who do the butt-web thing.

    I should also point out that eating sweaters and bumping into lightbulbs do not require any super-powers, only a larger-than-usual dose of akvavit. When I start bumping into sweaters and eating lightbulbs, the Frau Doktorin puts me to bed.

    That is all.

  9. Well, Spiderman shoots web from his wrists, so I felt I could embroider the anatomical details a bit. I almost counted "measuring marigolds" among his superpowers, but figured he'd probably get it wrong a lot of the time; so maybe a comparapower.

  10. Alas, Spider-Man will not survive the inevitable mating with Spider-Woman and the musical ends on a tragic note as the Oakland Raiders put an end to her.

  11. "measuring marigolds" among his superpowers
    That one comes with being bitten by a radioactive alligator -- along with "bursting balloons", "entertaining elephants", and "lying to liberals".
