Oh wise and powerful flist, and, indeed, internet at large.

The theme of my brother's band banquet this year is...SUPERHEROES!!!

Help me out, I need lists and lists of superheroes (pre-existing ones), their special powers, and any theme songs you can provide. I'll update the post as the list gets going. Help me out. No hero too small and weird.

Examples:
Captain Vegetable - Power of healthy eating
Captain Canuck, Johnny Canuck
The Flaming Carrot
Ambush Bug and archnemesis Argh!Yle!, a deranged argyle sock who thinks he's Dr. Doom.


Also for conversation, does one have to have super powers to be a superhero? (ulterior motive: I want to go as the Scarlet Pimpernel, but my family disagrees about whether he counts. My mum is going as Captain Vegetable.)

1) Batman is a superhero, but not a super-powered hero. I think the Scarlet Pimpernel treads the line, but he's like Zorro and Batman. During the French Revolution.
2) Do you need actual superheroes, or original?

Actual, please, as much as possible. Happy birthday.

I can provide Superhero after Superhero...

Here's a few:

Longshot - traveler from another dimension with the ability to manipulate "luck"
Drax the Destroyer - Man brought back from the dead. Invincible, strong, dumb as a rock.
Swamp Thing - Plant elemental, similarly a man brought back from the dead (sort of), also invincible. Except for fire.
Cypher - Mutant with the ability to understand any language.
Eros - Mutant alien with the ability to use his charisma to influence the emotions of others. (Gets into a sexual harassment suit with other members of the Avengers...)
Sleepwalker - Has the power to infiltrate other people's dreams and battle nightmares.
Hercules - Purportedly immortal mutant. Powers should be
self-explanatory.
Dr. Strange - The Sorcerer Supreme, wielder of the magic arts, and defender of all that is...a little occult. Looks like Vincent Price.
Thor - The Norse God of thunder, trapped in the body of a humble doctor. Among other people. Wields Mjolnir, his hammer.
Gambit - The Ragin' Cajun. Can charge small objects with kinetic energy, causing them to explode with some force. Weapon of choice is a deck of cards. Has red eyes.

That's ten. I think they're all male. I can always provide more, and women too.

I Cannot Hide What I Am

I must be sad when I have cause and smile
at no man's jests, eat when I have stomach and wait
for no man's leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and
tend on no man's business, laugh when I am merry and
claw no man in his humour...
I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in
his grace, and it better fits my blood to be
disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob
love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to
be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied
but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with
a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I
have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my
mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do
my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and
seek not to alter me.
