Garbageman-man. The Fluke. Squeegie. The Toe.

These are just some of the possibilities for members of the League of Unlikely Superheroes.

Your task: Create a member, or members, of the League. Winner will be the one I think is the coolest or funniest, and there will be the usual assortment of consolation prizes for outstanding work.

Note: Members of the League of Unlikely Superheroes must have some sort of costume (mask, cape, etc.). There will be bonus points for photoshopping lame superheroes (like Aquaman, or Robin, for example) into something less lame, or at least cooler.

Judging will be Monday afternoon.

Times like these call for a new kind of Super Hero.

.
.
.

By day, four ordinary professional women coping with the stress of life, love and shopping.

But, in times of great peril theny become:

The Castrator able to wither a man's self esteem with her cutting remarks

Skankra Gets what she wants, when she wants it.

The Dominatrix Forces men to bow down to her every command

Wonderbra Woman her breasts mesmerize men, eventually enslaving them

Together

They are...

The Estrogen Avengers

I've been well busy people :-( I had a lot of good ideas, but not enough time. But I had enough to have a go, at least...

The quickest thing I could come up with was this picture of UK Chancellor, MP Gordon Brown

But when he opens his magic red briefcase, he becomes heroicly sworn to uphold Labour principles, fight inflation and defeat the Eurosceptic menace. He's The Iron Chancellor

Behold!

Kauf-Man!
And the Wonder Cats!!

Mild-mannered Kaufman and his cats one day came into contact with some toxic mutagen and found themselves transformed into superheroes extroidonaire! Ironically, the cats were transformed into humanoids and Kaufman into a monkey, but hey, toxic goo has that effect sometimes.

Wonder Cat powers activate!
Biscuit: "Form of--hairball!"
Sugar: "Form of--cat toy!"
Kauf-Man: "%^%^&@!"

Thank you all for participating in the founding of the League of Unlikely Superheroes.

The roster is as thus:

Can't Act Man, Sucks-Man, Afro-Full-Of-Cats-Man, The Six Clones of Deep-Frying-Turkey-Man (and Deep-Frying-Turkey-Man himself, presumably... bringing the total number of Deep-Frying-Turkey-Men in the League to seven), GroperGov, The Castrator, Skankra, The Dominatrix, Wonderbra Woman, a collection of seven unnamed superheroes who are concerned about missing out on the contest, The Pipe, Red Onion Man, The Iron Chancellor, Kauf-Man and the Wonder Cats, ASCII-Man, and Supah Pooftah. That's approximately 30 new superheroes created, which is enough to start a comic book series by anybody's estimation.

Ok, now the awards:

Honorable (sorry... make that "Honourable")Mention for the use of the word "Bollocks": jes_lawson for his unnamed seven superheroes.

Honorable Mention for creating the only female superheroes and also for photoshopping Wonder Woman: CrunchyCheese for his "Estrogen Avengers".

Honorable Mention for sucking: Wirthling, for his mish-mash of ascii characters called ASCII-Man. Wirthling, until this contest I hadn't had any direct exposure to your sucking, but now I understand what everybody is talking about. Thank you. And yes, I'm sure it's Bill Clinton's fault.

Honorable (oops... sorry, make that "Honourable" again) Mention for being extremely strange: Chi the Cyinc for The Pipe, and Red Onion Man. Also, Honourable Mention again for jes_lawson, for being equally strange, with Afro-Full-Of-Cats-Man. What the hell, guys?

Honorable Mention for using a rainbow hat: umfumdisi, for Supah Pooftah.

And finally, the champeenship is hereby awarded for PV 102 to a photoshop which, while not being strictly rules compliant (unless you call a chef's hat a costume), it was extraordinarly creative in my opinion, and mine is the only one that counts right now.

Congratulations Riparian, you've won PV 102 with your Six Clones of Deep-Frying-Turkey-Man. I thought that was really cool. One has to assume, I guess, that the original Deep-Frying-Turkey-Man was holding the camera, I guess?

Anyway, my thanks to you all for playing. On to PV 103, which is the first rhyming PV since PV 93!

*whispers to KCF* "Afro-Full-Of-Cats-Man" was Rabid's creation ;-)

And yes, I am strange.

WOW! Thanks KCF!

Yeah I thought the Chef's hat and grey sweats of "Deep-Fry-Oil-Rejecting" were a pretty cool costume!

^_^

It's and honor to be selected from the list of great entries.

PV103 will be up tomorrow!

thanks again.
