Starch Duke Ferdinand

Starch Duke Ferdinand

Manifests a stifling stiffness.

A couple sprays from the Duke and The Bends will be a lot less flexible.

Starch Duke Ferdinand held the coveted title of Current Champ from Monday, July 28, 2008 to Monday, July 28, 2008, heartily vanquishing The Bends to earn it. Unfortunately, brutal defeat came soon after, at the merciless hands of Hugh Midity.

This hero's magnaminous likeness was captured at their moment of glorious triumph by Kevin .

  2. Isn't "Manifests a Stifling Stiffness" also the current ad slogan for Cialis?

    I bet he openly welcomes stiff competition.

  6. I want to make some sort of ironing joke about grace under pressure but it's not happening this early in the day, sorry.

  8. Ha Ha He looks like the kind of fellow that always has a stiff upper lip! I like the different style Kevin.

  9. I'm not so sure about this one. I love the hero, but seems he could be taken out pretty easy?

  10. I think the League of Monocles sounds like something that should have it's own comic book. I can't really picture them having their own TV show though.

  11. I've noted before Kevin's penchant for all things Edwardian. This photo is notably monocleless.

    I think the next 'Superest' innovation I would like to see is some statistics about our heros: the frequency of monocles, handlebar moustasche probability; sidebar coefficient; nobility count; professions and tradespeople; flora-fauna ratios; &tc &tc.

A Random Hero!

Ladderus

Ladderus

Hurls debris at his enemies while perched atop his Ladder of Doom. I'm not even sure a normal super hero could climb that ladder, much less one with sweaty hands...
