14. go to www.rexraygun.com
My husband and I are working on an animated series that we hope to eventually get on the air. Originally it was conceived as a comic book but then we decided that the story was too big for comics.

36. I shoudda included
Horace Rumpole, but he's not relly a Super Hero.

19. Sometimes it isn't easy being the guy with the ring....
The is why Batman could (given the right circumstances) beat Superman. Batman would kill if it was necessary.

Edited on Wed Mar-17-04 02:32 AM by LeviathanCrumbling
Once you go crazy, commit genocide and try to destroy the universe you aren't a super hero. John Stewart was always a hero even when he didn't have super powers.

edit: Who thread jacks a super hero post?

41. When criminals in this world appear...
When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear,
And frighten all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near for
Underdog,
Underdog,
Underdog,
Underdog.

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog, Underdog.

When in this world the headlines read
Of those who's hearts are filled with greed
And rob and steal from those in need.
To right this wrong with blinding speed goes
Underdog,
Underdog,
Underdog,
Underdog.

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog, Underdog.
