I like superhero's who wear suspenders! There i said it. Sorry, but this is just bizarre. In the UK, the item of clothing you are referring to is called "braces". That's what holds your trousers up. "Suspenders" are what women use to hold their stockings up, and are a fairly common component in many erotic fantasies. To anyone in Britain, the phrase "I like superheroes who wear suspenders" just makes you sound a bit...well...kinky... I actually had to reread your post before I realized what you meant. My initial reaction was to almost choke on my sandwich.

Those who wear suspenders and belts, not only committing the ultimate fashion faux pas, are deathly afraid of exposing their butt cracks when bending over. This fear can easily be used against them. Sounds like the origin story of a superhero who goes after plumbers. (The Flush?) This explains why most hero's and villains wear their underoo's on the outside of their costumes in the past so as to avoid embarrassing moments when they couldn't find a bathroom. And now i can't get the Flush Gordon (savior of the plumbing) them song from my mind. Instead of Queen going aahhhaaaahh i hear the sound of a toilet flushing....and Brian Blessed as Vultan shouting out to his hawk-men to fluuuuuuuuuuuush!

To elevate something, on the other hand, exclusively means to move it to a higher position. Isn't yours the country where you apparently go down in an elevator?

If it works for Tim Curry as that sweet transsexual Transylvanian mad Dr. Frank N. Furter why not?

I realize I maybe seeming somewhat old fashioned, sexist and closed minded here, but I still can't help feeling that fashion choices that are acceptable (and, indeed, desirable) for Zatanna might just be a little disturbing for the Angel. And I also cannot help but suspect that had Professor Xavier found any of his male X-Men emulating Frank, the only time warp they'd have been doing was the one that he used to despatch them to the nearest Sentinel overrun dystopian future! Make no mistake, Charles is not Doctor Scott, and the only thing he's wearing under that blanket is a pair of well tailored trousers, not fishnets!

The last five posts or so get my vote for the most interesting conversation of the year.

And yet Xavier allowed Iceman to run around with nothing on but his little blue undies and booties under his ice coating. He also had the hots for his young female student (shades of current trends before they were ever dreamed of) so the ol' professor wasn't a total fuddy duddy

We don't mention the Professor's unfortunate infatuation with Jean! It was a temporary abberation, and the man is (currently) dead. Have some respect!

It's more like dead at the moment until a writer or artist decides they want their favorite hero or villain back. just a matter of time usually for most to return. And with so much "rebooting" going on who is dead really seems to not matter all that much anymore. There, I said that!

I always felt that they really crossed the line by bringing Barry Allen back after 25 years.

I always felt that they really crossed the line by bringing Barry Allen back after 25 years. That was spectacularly pointless. Alive, Barry was just a cardboard cut-out character. Dead, he was DC's one genuine martyr, who was a constant source of inspiration to Wally West, a more engaging Flash by far. Dying was the most interesting thing Barry ever did!

Speaking of Brian Blessed, has everyone seen his appearance on QI from a few years ago? edit: I got my shows mixed up. It was Brian Blessed's guest appearance on Have I Got News For You that I meant to post, the one Cody Starbuck has on the next page of the thread. The QI one is OK too, but watch the Have I Got News For You episode first, for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Speaking of Brian Blessed, has everyone seen his appearance on QI from a few years ago? The man is a living legend! Someone recently sent me an audiobook of him reading his own autbiography, and it's amazing. I've read the book myself, but hearing him bellowing out his life story in his own voice is an experience not to be missed...

To anyone in Britain, the phrase "I like superheroes who wear suspenders" just makes you sound a bit...well...kinky... So, so, so true. I mean, I get that Americans use the word "suspenders" for braces, but it still makes me do a double take any time I see them mentioned here in relation to superheroes.
