Superheroes

So, I was reading the MSN article about best superhero costumes. They were not big fans of Wolverine not wearing the yellow spandex. But if you really think about it, why would a mutant who wanted to keep his mutantness on the DL wear Look At Me Yellow? Wouldn't he stick with basic black to blend in to the background more? And what kind of stealthy attacks could be made in yellow? Stripes on the road and school buses are yellow for a reason: they are meant to be seen. Gambit got to wear neutral colors. Why wouldn't Wolverine?

And even in the rest of the comic book world, the heroes that wished to remain out of the spotlight wore darker colors. Whereas the famewhores (Superman, Spiderman) wore Look At Me colors. Say what you will, but those two were definitely famewhores. They would totally go on like the Super Surreal Life. Who else would be on that show? Probably the Hulk with all of his rage issues. The Huntress has some daddy issues, so she might be on it. Robin maybe? There would have to be some bad guys. Who would be good? No way Catwoman would do it, though she would be totally awesome. What about Evillyne? Or is it Evil Lynn?

I just pictured the Super Surreal Life house and it was hands down the. best. mental picture. ever.

If they made that into a show, I would watch it every night.

It's pure genius, but it would never fly. Too many elitist bastards would cry foul.
