So, red hair and big boobies are superpowers? We had this discussion last night at Hooters - superhero groupies are not superheroes!
However, that IS a very nice picture. BOLD! EDGY!

Posted by: Nate at February 15, 2007 10:11 AMYeah, Skillzy, it is kinda weird that they've included various hangers-on and sycophants in the superhero mix, but as Nate notes, some of us are weak and in the thrall of certain powers that these people possess that other people seem to ignore or be immune to. I suppose Psylocke would be a good backup if we're strictly going on superheroineism of the mutant variety.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at February 15, 2007 10:25 AMPart of the problem is that there aren't that many good female superheroes to go around. I was always hot for the Scarlet Witch myself, even after she went and married that Vision guy.
Posted by: skillzy at February 15, 2007 10:38 AMYeah. I wish Red Sonja had been higher on my list. She seems like such a nice, sweet girl.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at February 15, 2007 10:53 AMMine were all there together within a point. I wish I knew who these characters were although they sounded OK. The two I remember were Kitty Pryde and Moira Mac somebody.
Seemed much older than yours.
As long as it wasn't Mary Worth, you should be okay.

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at February 15, 2007 02:53 PMWith a 68.8% match, I got Moira McTaggert, described as a nerdy scientist with a hot Scottish accent. (The definition of nedry in popular culture must be 'wears glasses'.)
My wife is of Scottish descent, but she's no scientist.
Posted by: kitchen hand at February 15, 2007 05:26 PMWhat about being a nerd with glasses?
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at February 16, 2007 07:37 AMNerds in real life look like nerds.
On TV, they portray a nerd by putting glasses on Robert de Niro or Julia Roberts.
Disclosure: I wear glasses. And I look like neither Robert de Niro nor Julia Roberts.
Posted by: kitchen hand at February 17, 2007 12:28 AMOddly enough, I wear glasses, too. And I don't look like Robert de Niro or Julia Roberts either. We must look alike, Kitchen Hand!
