Chicago Superheroes... also, we creep on HowDroll

[BananaHands]

So yeah, me and ElJuski were wondering/discussing what Superheroes are based in Chicago? I know that most of the Marvel heroes are in New York City and that Batman resides in a city based off of Chicago... but there has to be some. Maybe on the independent labels?

Oh, also... I totally felt HowDroll's boobs last night. I think at least twice. Ba-ba-ba-booosh.

He's a villain, but at least he's a Marvel character.

By the way, Gotham has been based on several different cities through the years. The Adam West series and movie have Gotham placed in Los Angeles.

I always thought that Metropolis was Chicago and Gotham was New York.

I say Metropolis as Chicago because Smallville Kansas is just a short hop away.

 

[Soliloquy]

The explanation for Gotham and Metropolis that I like the best comes from Frank Miller:

Metropolis is New York in the daytime; Gotham City is New York at night.

For Superman, Antarctica is just a short hop away.

 

[Kitty Sinatra]

well, yeah. But I was thinking of Lois Lane at the time. The Teri Hatcher Lois Lane.

Savage Dragon (Image) used to be set in Chicago.

 

[ElJuski]

Haha. Halforums: where the only time people are actively aiming to creep on HD choose to talk about Superman instead.

But seriously--why the fuck aren't more superheros cleaning up other cities? If I were a supervillain, I'd go to one of the smaller cities and take it for the pickuns.

Because if you were a supervillian, and you said, "Ha-ha-ha, Baton Rouge is mine!" even the supervillians who operate out of the sewers would shrug.

I heard that Gotham was "the worst part of the Hoboken waterfront, at midnight", according to Bob Kane.

The Nolan Batman is filmed mostly in Chicago, if that counts.

I'm thinking it has something to do with appearances.

Super Villain: "AHAHAHAHA! Tremble before my might! For I shall now use my Cheese-Powered Thingamabobizer to destroy RICHMOND, VIRGINIA! Muahahahahaa! Ahahaha... haha... Hello? Anybody?"

Curse you, Lying Bastard! Vengeance shall be mine! Muahahahaaa!

Small cities are for small-time. Trying to be an active supervillain in Walla Walla, Washington and expecting to be feared is like being a basketball player in Yugoslavia and expecting to be the best.

 

[ElJuski]

I'd rather be a big fish in a small pond then get my ass handed to me by men in tights on a weekly basis.

 

[Kitty Sinatra]

Oh, then you ain't gonna have any fun at my party next weekend.

*rips up Juski's invitation*

Really? Cause I still would have preferred to be Lex Luthor.

 

[ElJuski]

Not saying that being Lex Luthor would be without its fun, either.

 

[phil]

This has been a problem with me and marvel. While DC heroes all work out of fictional cities that might resemble other ones, at least its not all NYC all the time.

But then again like 90% of all movies and TV takes place in either NYC or LA as well, so I guess i cant really get mad at anyone.

You would be bald. No one who is bald ever has any fun. It's just science.

Totally staged.

AHEM.

Gotham is clearly an amalgamation of Newark, Jersey City and Camden, the cities hope goes to get brutally beaten, stabbed and violated in.

To think, the baldness was photoshopped. WE HAVE SEEN THROUGH YOUR MEXICAN RUSE, CAULIFLOWER!

Everything we know about him is a lie!

I bet he's not even Mexican. He probably lives in Texas.

That mullet knows how to party.

Fail bragpost is fail.

 

[CynicismKills]

Yeah, I always pictured him as the mullet type.

 

[Calleja]

Ok.. there are lines you do not cross. Ever.

One of them is painting a fracking MULLET on me. That means all-out war. You're going down, bitch. :angry:

...that sounds like the best plan, EVER! Well, no, it'd be better if you were a cute black haired, blue eyed chick with awesome legs and back dimples.

You're not, are you?

YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY, SIR! RUE!





Y'know, I rued the day once. Didn't get much else done.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

CK, this is a pretty hairy situation for you. If you're lucky though, this may end up being your brush with destiny.
