    He;s got a point on Daredevil...They didn't say it, but for a superhero, Daredevil spends a lot of time getting the crap kicked out of him.

    How did it take you this long to realize that the Maxim writers are some of the dumbest and blandest people on the planet?

    I swear this was done before. But either way, don't go to a non comic magazine for comic info.
    Probably just looked at the names to make their decisions.
    Turn out the light, tell me a story.

    This has been discussed to death on at least one board here, and probably on multiple boards.

    Wha- Blue Beetle as Number 29? You gits, Ted Kord's the MAN!

    They also have Green Lantern down there, with a picture of John Stewart, his current ID given as Kyle, and mentioning his "weakness against the colour yellow" which I don't think the GL's have suffered from for a while now.

    And their big reason for Daredevil being lame? He's blind. Wooo, yeah, real substance to that. Well, at least he gets a reason, Sue Storm doesn't even got that, she just gets "pity it's not Inaudible Woman, hur hur hur". Wonder Woman's reason for being lame is... PMS. I kid thee not.

    Also, they're one of the many people who go "hur hur hur, Aquaman is TEH LAME!" while neglecting to mention that his powers include incredible super-strength and the ability to command barracudas to devour your entire crotch. I'm not going to mess with Aquaman.

    At least two that I've seen. Watch how Maxim wallows in its own misogyny.

    There is nothing new under the sun. And no end to fanboy rage.

    ive seen several threads on different comic boards with fanboys complaining about it. it was done for fun. and reading some of them, they are funny

    besides, they issued an apology beforehand (they know how sensitive fanboys are)

    I love this kinda stuff, because it reveals them to be as dorky as the people they're trying to make fun of.

    That's just lame. So lame I can't even get up enough energy to begin to get annoyed about it. I didn't even read what it says because the choices are so odd as lame heroes.
    Techcitement, the feeling some of us get when we discover some new (or even old and unfamiliar) tech. It’s also the name of a website with reviews and opinions on tech products and solutions, along with stories about how technology affects our every day lives from fitness to politics. Basically, if it's tech-related and excites us, we write about it.
