The One Where The Friends Get Superpowers

Through a strange series of events the Central Perk crew took on the powers of the Super Friends to become the Super Whiners:

Matt Le Blanc as Superman - perfect choice, all brawn, very little brain.
Monica Geller as Green Lantern - I've no idea, really, why. Guess she had to be someone.
Chandler Bing as Batman - a nice choice as the most neurotic of the superheroes.
Phoebe Buffay as Aquaman - one talks to cats, the other to fish.
Rachel Green as Wonder Woman - this really should have been Monica's role, though the hair was a wonder.
Ross Geller as Robin - yep, they were both useless. (Link via Karl Heitmueller)

The Body Snatcher Hand's Collection


While I had to refer to the legend several times I was still amazed at how many of the hands I could easily identify. What an awesome idea! (The Body Snatcher Hand's Collection by Nicolas Fong, via Geek-Art)

A Superheroes ABC


I think I know a four-year old that's going to be an incredibly happy boy soon. Now I just have to make sure I can name all the letters — I have to admit I had to look a couple of them up. (ABC Superheroes by Fabian Gonzalez. Thanks Shane.)

The Office Avengers


The latest mashup challenge at Draw2D2 is The Office vs. The Avengers, which means there will be a whole lot of great looking pop art that I will only half understand the references, such as Andy Hunter's work above.

Bathamm And Superhamm


They should have Jon Hamm play all superheroes. Also, he needs to have a tumbler in his hand. (Bathamm and Superhamm by Stanley Chow. Prints available.)

Anarchy In The JLA


No justice, just us.

Warren Ellis asked: "You have been tasked with producing the poster for Malcolm McLaren's JUSTICE LEAGUE film. What does that look like?"

Annie Wu responded above, and it is awesome. (Link via Comic Book Junkie)

Superhero Thug Life


I always suspected that the camaraderie of the Super Friends was a sham and now the truth has been exposed. Hardcore, but they should really reconsider the bandannas, they aren't really helping much. (Steve Seely via Spoke Blog)

Thing One And Thing Two And Thing Three


But our fish said "No, no! Those Things should not be in this house! Make them go! They should not be in here when your mother is not. Put them out! Put them out!" Said the fish in pot. (3Things by Phil Jones; link via Rampaged Reality)

Holy Check Ins, Batman!

I have no doubt this is an actual problem. Now I'm off to check in at the Fortress of Solitude. (To the Batcave by Agent-X Comics via Nologinformynic)

If Stark Industries Had Created Astroboy...


I can't say I'd be entirely shocked if this turned out to be part of the plot of Iron Man 3. (stark industries x astroboy by Marco D'Alfonso, via Geek-Art.net)

FanExpo 2010: Cosplay Like You Mean It


I am in awe of the effort put in by cosplayers — they put Halloween to shame. And my greatest thrill during an afternoon at FanExpo Canada, was meeting Zaphod Beeblebrox, the president of the galaxy! The fact that he is blurry has less to do with me drinking Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters with him than my lousy photography skills coupled with an iPhone. Apologies for the rest.



Meet the Invisible Woman, who was more visible than I expected.



Ned and Chuck from Pushing Daises! Of course it just made me miss the show all over again.



The Punisher.



She-Hulk and, I dunno. Anyone? Guesses and suggestions welcome in the comments.



Little Sister from Bioshock? That's my guess.



The (or An) Original Batmobile. Not sure why there was a girl sitting on top of it or why, now that I have looked closer, she appears to have no legs below the knee.



Geek 'em up early — Little Wonder Woman and Little Night Owl? Probably not, but it amused me to think so.



Proton pack — don't go Ghostbusting without it.



I don't know. Anyone?



I should know, but I don't.



Dr. Henry Jones Sr.



Domo was the first guy (mascot?) I saw when I walked in.



Halo's Master Chief, about to kill a anime conventioneer.



Another blank for me.



Bombalurina from Cats?



The Waldos. They weren't all that hard to find.



A pantheon of Disney characters.



Flaunt it.



Plastic Man stretched everything...



Guesses? I'm sure it's obvious.



I think she said yes.



Harvey Two Face and a Batman made from Duct Tape.



Cobra Commander seemed annoyed I was interrupting his shopping.



Anime? But of what I have no idea.



Kick-Ass!


Wonder Woman, Flash and the Silver Surfer were so fast I was unable to get a picture of them fast enough. Or maybe it was Flash's fault - he doesn't work well with the iPhone.



Rings a bell but I'm drawing another blank.



Boy Wonder has grown up a touch.



Batman and his Batcamera.



Someone I recognize battling a Sleestak.



Some sort of military cat. Impressive in any case.



Harley Quinn and the Joker.



Mad Hatter.



French revolutionaries? I'm sure I'm missing something.



No idea, not even a clue.



Darth Vader and pal, moving at the speed of blur.



Just a typical line at FanExpo.



I love that even the interviewer is in character.



Even Iron Man needs to make a buck.



This guy isn't dressed up, he just felt this way after all day at FanExpo.
