#5 Bucket-Boy

Bucket-Boy! Has all the power of a … well … um … a bucket? Yeah this kid has issues, he seems to think that all it takes to fight crime is a nice wooden bucket for a helmet and a flowing red cape on his back attached to his coat. Some kids don’t get hugged enough when they are younger ….. well some kids … they may have been hugged too much. Let’s just hope this kiddo doesn’t go try stopping a bullet anytime soon, last time I check wood doesn’t stop bullets very well. Good luck Bucket-Boy, you’ll need it.

#4 Shy Freddie

This is Shy Freddie, he doesn’t have any super powers, he doesn’t really talk very much but he is a very nice guy … wait where did he go? Oh, there he is behind that tree. Wave to the nice people Freddie! See he is waving at you from behind the tree, told you he was a nice guy. That Freddie, always so timid and shy, guess that’s where he got the nickname from. Well you know what come to think of it that is a mighty small tree for a person of his size to be hiding behind, how is he doing that? Maybe he does have some kind of powers after all!?

#3 American Splendor

This is American Splendor, he isn’t a hero, he isn’t a villain, he isn’t part of your system. American Splendor was a lab experiment during the 1950’s the high day of American ideals, the citizens believed in the country and so did he. The government could do no wrong in the eyes of the people and this is how much of the country viewed society at the time. He was given a secret growth hormone that made him the size of an average adult male, the thing was the genetically enhanced hormone the scientist created also had a side effect … human intelligence  American Splendor, considered a failure in the eyes of his scientist creators was put into cryogenic sleep until a time that science was to a point that they could reverse the effects.

Like many businesses in the country the lab fell on hard times during the financial crisis and was shut down, funding removed and power cut off. Forgotten and alone, American Splendor awoke from his sleep to find a country he did not recognize. The ideals of the 1950s were gone, everyone was cynical, corrupt, and only worried about the newest Jersey Shore episode to be concerned or aware of the downward spiral the country and the world has taken.

He doesn’t know how or if he will even succeed but his determination to get the people to wake up from their entertainment induced coma has lead him to a life of rebellion. He fights for the basic human rights, the constitutional rights, and moral rights of the people. In the shadows he works alone, on the edge of the law, protecting the people anyway he can.

#1 Cactus-Man

Cactus-Man was once a mild mannered soldier during the nuclear bomb testings of WWII, but one fateful day while testing the bomb they would drop over the Pacific, disaster happened! He stood far to close and far too long during the drop and when the bomb exploded, he was standing next to a tall cactus and the nuclear radiation melded his cells with the cactus, making him Cactus-Man!

With the power to shoot tiny annoying prickly needles into his enemies, his indestructible flower pot he uses as a shield and his thick skin that helps him withstand intolerable heats, he fights to save the world day in and day out!

No one is quite sure why he wears a mask considering everyone is pretty certain that he is the only talking cactus around, but Cactus-Man goes nowhere without it tied to his face.
