Judy Stephens took this photo of a steam punk Iron Man who won Marvel's costume contest at this year's Comic Con here in New York City.
This weekend I spotted a guy dressed in a full Captain America costume hurriedly pushing a baby stroller through the busy streets on his way to Comic Con.
An open letter to James Cameron:
Dear Mr. Cameron,
Darth Vader versus Batman. Please make this happen.
Kind regards,
MRod.

Superdickery shines light on a less well known fact which is that despite all his world saving and crime fighting prowess, Superman is a dick, especially to Lois Lane. None of these are photoshopped. All court admissible evidence.
And this one is my personal favorite.
Visualization of the various relationships and romantic entanglements within the X Men universe, including alternative realities. It appears that Wolverine's the busiest mutant of them all.

Superpowers that are rather useless. Super-useless even.
In-flight flight. Being able to soar through the air still won't save you from recycled oxygen and endless stories from complete strangers. Known as the "Cabin Sparrow," this so-called power lets you fly, but only within the confines of an airplane. At least you can leapfrog the beverage cart when explosive diarrhea strikes at 30,000 feet.Psychic Amnesia This superuseless superhero foresees the future while instantly forgetting anything he has just foreseen. Known in some circles as Untotal Recall.
Ultra Short-Range Teleportation. This unamazing power lets you teleport up to one inch away. When done in rapid succession, it gives that old-timey stop action feel. It can also really push your "popping & locking" routine to the next level.
PreMOMnition The power to see what your mother is doing at all times. PreMOMnition cannot be turned off and operates similar to picture-in-picture technology, so your mom is ALWAYS in your field of vision. Oh, and good luck trying to get laid. Even viagra can’t combat real-time images of your mom waxing your father’s back.
