Favourite superhero?

[Kowalski]

There's only one real Superhero..................whether he's in his talking car .........or armed with his microphone................ or even equipped with his orange life buoy.............its gotta be...............................THE HOFF.

As I'm uncomfortable looking up to caped, musclebound men in lycra body suits wearing their jocks on the outside -can I say Dynamo Duck? How about HR Puffin Stuff?

I like Nightcrawler, Morph and Wolverine in X-Men.

Spiderman would be good only for the painful romance story that is dragged along. Venom is class.

Batman is my favourite I think seeing as he's just a bloke. So does he technically have superpowers?

Superman, who wouldn't wanna be him

Jez who dragged up this old bad boy?

Was this thread even born in foot.ie or is it a phootball.com hangover?

I was in The Beaten Docket the other day (one of those old pubs near Belfast train station) and there was one of those music channels on big screen, a show with old eighties and early nineties stuff.

Guess what comes up? David Hasselhoff ! The vocals were actually not that bad (as in, there's much worse being seen on MTV these days) but the video was absolutely hilarious in some way. The Hoff sitting in a car doing stunts, so far okay ; but whenever they just took a close up of his face, he was trying so hard to force a passionate and furious look that it was like play-back/karaoke going wrong Overacting in its purest form!

But the man deserves credit for his career. And he did have some extremely pretty women in Baywatch beside him. Erika Eleniak was a first crush of mine when she paraded on TV in her bikini in front of my 9 year old eyes

Does anyone remember cartoonist Tony Benyon's The Lone Groover and Tonto in the NME?? Kind of an anti-hero but funny sometimes. This surfaced recently in a BBC programme on the magazine

The LG used to have regular pseudo-French expressions like "Erk alors". Another one was "Gaspo".
He also came equipped with a talking codpiece.LOL

Plastic Paddy, Superhoops, CollegeTillI Die might remember.

Hard to make some of these out but Benyon's cartoons were very popular in the NME for a long time.

I know, I know, I'm sad.
