We Could Be Heroes - [Matthew]

I hung out this weekend at Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure theme park with my little nieces.

As I stood in line at the Captain America Cafe, the thought occured to me: considering the Captain's lean physique, I'm guessing he doesn't eat many of his restaurant's $8 cheeseburgers.

I also enjoyed the songs playing on the speakers overhead, one of which was Tina Turner's 'We Don't Need Another Hero.'

Then I thought... 'Tina Turner. That sounds like a comic book character name.' One of the comic book companies (comic-philes, help me out here) usually has alliteratively named characters: Lois Lane, Bruce Banner, Peter Parker.

I started thinking of famous people with comic book-like names: Jesse Jackson, Ted Turner, Martin Mull...

And so, my (super) friends, the gauntlet has been thrown down. Gimme the best and the most you can think up and we shall see who will lay claim to the title "Super Pop Culture (Wo)Man"
