I think it’s for playing softball.

I concur. Plus, you know it would be _good_. Not to mention, great house, great toys, and the finest booze avalible.

Jean Grey could have sex with you without touching you. I don’t know if that’s a plus or a minus.

Captain America would have fantastic stamina, but would probably look at you agahst if you suggested something other than missionary possision. And forget the dirty talk.

Yes, because kink was invented in San Francisco in 1968. :rolleyes:

It wouldn’t surprise me if Steve Rogers has, at the very least, done rear-entry. He’s a big dude,and not all his girlfriends have been supers. I expect Bernie Rosenthal would have insisted on being on top in the interests of not being smothered.

For me, it’s Batman for the toys. Where does he get all those fantastic toys?

Of course, when I was a horny teenager in the 60’s, it was all about Robin’s costume.

But now that I’ve grown up and old(er), I’ll take the imagination that goes with the older half of that sexually ambigous duo. You know, to keep it fresh.

I think they misunderstood what a “boom tube” is.

Captain America is the quintiential clean-cut, apple-pie, all-American boy. I’ve read enough comics where he chides other characters for using bad language to lead me to think he’s a little on the prudish side. Not to mention an issue from not long ago (I don’t remember when - I’m not a hardcore comic fan, though I sometimes enjoy them) where a sexy woman offers herself to Steve. His response was to stammer and blush for a while, then tell her that he didn’t want to talk about that.

Kink may not have been invented in the 60’s, but Steve Rogers probably thinks it was.

Any female character with invisibility. I’d like to see my jizz become invisible as it leaves my body.

IDK man. Being involved with these folks seems a one way ticket to a tragic death so that they can be motivated to be more heroic/villainous.

Okay, assuming that we all have to go sometime, how 'bout the [adorable](http://www.vamp.org/Gothic/Images/images/s-death3.jpg) (there are less adorable relatives) [sister of the Sandman.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_(DC_Comics))

She’s not a super-hero.

Or, for that matter, a super-villain.

In that movie? Oh yes. Her bare back as she walks down the staircase at the big party is wonderful.

Is there an iteration where she’s not hot? From the dull-grey suit of the first animated series to Halle Berry, I’m not sure any have been less than a 9/10.

I meant that Michelle Pfeiffer was hot in that movie. But that was nearly 20 years ago; I don’t know what she looks like now.

I’m in that minority who does not think Halle Berry especially hot.

Except you’d need a Kryptonite condom. Niven could write a sequel to his _Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex_; titled _Woman of Steel, Man of Toothpaste_.

Well, sure. But since Lois Lane regularly does Clark, and doesn’t seem remotely unsatisfied, Niven’s application of real-world physics to a fantasy situation seems refuted by the “actual” events in the fantasy universe.

If you want to fanwank, you can say that Kryptonian invulnerability, despite superficial appearances, actually can be turned on and off; it’s just subconscious. When he wants to his skin to feel like a mortal’s skin, say to make out with his hot brunet cowoker, he unconsciously dials it down, even though the base is “skin like steel.” And of course if he feels threatened, he snaps back to the default.

I think that was even the case the last time the Big Blue Boy Scout lost his powers. He exhausted him because of some red-sun silliness and took months to recharge, and he was so enjoying not having to be on call 24 hours a day that, even after he was recharged, he didn’t seem to have ANY of the powers back–including the invulnerability.
