Top ___ Lists

Or, where once again I rip off Ami’s blog!

Specifically, she has mentioned a couple times this really obnoxious Bravo special (well, series of specials).  The Superhero and villain lists were bad.  The vixen list was the worst.  See, we did not see one woman in the Superhero list.  It was all men.  Wonder Woman went on the Vixens list.  Along with Bond Girls (And that is beyond insulting, as Domino stands head and shoulders above Christmas Jones) and Felicity Shagwell from Austen Powers.

So, I have decided to try and counter Bravo’s pathetic lists.  But I want to make it a fan effort.  I would like to compile three lists.  Ultimate Superheroes (Male), Ultimate Superheroes (Female) and Ultimate villains.  I broke down the Superhero list to genders for the simple reason as to give heroes of both genders a fair share of the pie.  I didn’t want the list to consist of, say 16 male heroes and four female ones. 

The reason I don’t just compile my own list is simple.  Mine would look like:

1.Plastic Man
2.Superman
3.Blue Beetle
4.Booster Gold
etc.

So what I am asking is this.  E-mail me at Admin@in-one-ear.com with your choices and why for each category.  Who are your favorite Supervillains?  Why?  What makes you love Superman, Spider-Man or Wonder Woman so much?  Feel free to include several choices, in fact I recommend it.

Oh heck, lets add a fourth list!  Ultimate Teams and Team Ups!  That would be either regular teams, such as the JLA or Runaways or team ups, such as Blue Beetle and Booster Gold or Power Man and Iron Fist.  Lets do it, people.

Geek Dating Help

So, I showed a friend, lets call him Frank, this rant from Ami’s blog. After he finished reading it, he launched into a tirade about the lack of cool girls into gaming and comic books. I tried to explain that he missed the point…but after six attempts, I gave up. Which turned out to be almost as big a mistake as letting him see the number of hits my blog got over the weeked.

See, he got it in his head that I could help him find a girlfriend who would really appreciate his “Geekness”. I really tried to avoid this, since that is hardly why I started blogging (Which was originally started years ago to meet Super Models. Who knew they don’t read blogs?). But he pushed. And pushed. And pushed. And pushed. And pushed. And pushed. And pushed. So I relented. Yeah, I lack resolve, people. Please do not ask for money. So, he sent me an e-mail with what kind of woman he is looking for:

Thanx for the help, Thom. First off, comic books. She has got to like them. No like love them. But certainly not so much that she can recite as much information about Superman’s Kryptonian heritage. Granted, that might be hard, I mean, who hasn’t heard of Erok El??? But if she at least knows who the new Batwoman is, I am happy. Manga don’t count.

I also want to stress “gamer”. I mean, she should be good enough that I don’t have to explain how to use my PS3, X-Box 360 or Weii. I want a girl with some experience. Well, not too much, if you know what I mean. If she can beat me in Gears of War, that’s one doomed relationship.

TV. She has got to love Buffy and Battle Star Galactica (not the old one, the new kewl one with sexy Cylons!). Same as comics and games. Knowledgeable enough that I do not have to explain everything, but not enough that she could correct me in the rare case I might be wrong.

Music is not that important, as long as she likes Linkin Park and 50 Cent.

Then there is the looks thing. Totally not important, maybe something like Jessica Alba (circa Dark Angel) or maybe Scarlet Johannson. Or that girl from the OC…Rachel something or other. She looked hot dressed as Wonder Woman. I am totally open to all races, especially hot Asian girls. She should take care of herself some, you know, go to the gym and stuff, but not force me to tag along.

That’s it. I am not too picky, afterall. Man, I wish it wasn’t so tough to find a gamer/comic girl who digs geeks, y’know?

So…um…there you all go. Any takers? No, you cannot have his address so you can kick him in the groin (I know someone was thinking that!). I know, I know, ladies. You are all thinking, “Why aren’t there more guys like him?” But you are so in luck! Let me let you know where you can find your own Frank (just in case he gets swooped up soon after I post this!)…your local comic shop is chock full of guys just like Frank!

Again, any takers for Frank out there?
