Super Hero Wedding

Posted by Miss Cellania in Cartoon & Comic on August 1, 2009 at 9:33 am

You may have seen or read about some over-the-top wedding productions, but Tony Lucchese told Sarah LaFore will be going the extra mile when they marry today in Portland, Maine. They will say their vows dressed as Superman and Wonder Woman.

Aquaman, Flash and Spider-Man round out the groomsmen. Ten bridesmaids will be Amazon warriors — in comic mythos, Wonder Woman is an Amazon princess — with spears, togas and sandals.

Two weeks ago, LaFore and Lucchese made an emergency trip to Jersey, down and back in one day, to tweak her costume.

“Paramount to having a successful wedding is having the bride feel pretty,” he said.

He and volunteer carpenters built a Fortress of Solitude altar in a rented warehouse space in Portland. They’ll be married by Kieschnick’s father, dressed as Jor-El, Superman’s dad. Part of the script borrows from Kryptonian wedding vows. The couple will break character to say, “I do.”

The two met while working on a theatrical production in Oak Ridge, Tennessee seven years ago. They have been planning the wedding for 18 months. Link -via Fark

World Superhero Registry

Posted by Alex in Blog & Internet on May 11, 2009 at 1:33 pm

Ever wanted to be a superhero? What’s stopping you? Here’s a list of real life superheroes – people who don costumes and fight crime/do good as listed in the World Superhero Registry (yes, a website dedicated to finding these people).

Take, for instance, the Red Arrow, a 20-year-old guy in Hong Kong who tries to "bring happiness to people and become the salt and light of the world" by handing out toys to poor children.

… or Superbarrio Gómez, a Mexican "real-life superhero" who wears red tights and a Lucha Libre wrestler’s mask to organize rallies and protests and file petitions against forced evictions in Mexico:

Batman Rescues Bangkok

Posted by Queuebot in Crime & Law on April 25, 2009 at 12:48 pm

Bangkok, Thailand, is turning into Gotham City with violence, fatalities, and social upheaval during the "red shirt" riots.

It seems that Batman has now come to the rescue, fighting crime and breaking tension in Bangkok. Although his alias is not Bruce Wayne, he steps up in the time of need for his country. See him in action in this YouTube clip. Go Batman!

Last week, as anti-government protesters clad in crimson stormed the capital’s streets, some guys hijacked a gas truck and parked it in an otherwise quiet neighborhood. They were pursued by soldiers and assumed (according to Thai media reports) that the military wouldn’t fire into an area containing a massive container of liquid fuel.

Then, out of nowhere, Batman steps into the crowd and surveys the scene.
