Super Heroes


Before reading this, one information to all those who don’t know us, to understand this write up u need to know us. This is about my friends and me. This place is very small to write about us but I ve tried to be as brief as possible.

What is a superhero? We usually think of a superhero as someone who has a profession, who is mild mannered, well kept … someone ‘normal’. The superhero is the person who changes when the sun goes down,he (or she) dons a uniform and heads out to save the world.

Superman saves Metropolis, Batman Gotham, Spider Man ...New York and Wonder Woman protected Washington D.C. As long as these super human protectors are around we feel safe in our homes and know that when the super villains attack they will be there to swoop down from the sky and deflect the bullets or snatch us away.

But in this case the Superheroes are little different and unique; I have my own super heroes the only difference is we wear our underwear’s inside. Lets start off with the most handsome superhero (u know he came up with the law “handsome guys get F#$%all looking chicks & vice versa) i.e.

Superman – (Rupert)
As he is known man of steel with super powers, who wears his undies over his trousers. We call him superman because he has bundles of energy. He is always flying from one place to another in search of super woman I guess. Till recently his radar was stretched from Powai to Fort but now he has extended his radar to Pune n is in search of Rafiqbhai to help him out.
Last year he was hit by a kryptonite (carol) but just missed it by touch n go situation, but news is last week she was able to catch him on orkut but not completely he is out of this situation.
Humor is his secret weapon, it can move gracefully from slapstick to cheap and sometimes disgusting.
U should hear his real laugh (it comes out whn he’s a bit zonked, in the start u’ll find it very amusing but it doesn’t stops there, it goes on n on……. Then u start to feel freaking scared.
Superman doesn’t take care of himself (u can see it on his hands & legs, they r always bruised n battered); he uses his excess energy helping his friends like wolverine (james) and hollow-man (Buddha). He actually hates rules and regulations and B@$t#*d always late. But he has one charm in him and i.e. he’s a very funny guy even though he doesn’t have funny face.
Soccer is his favorite sport, I imagine how he plays while flying. Sometimes he is sugary sweet; this reminds me of someone sweet, with whom he did the 24 days scene & now he’s dipping honey n having sugar.(I can’t elaborate this on the blog). He likes good looking women and he is a real catch for any girl. You can find him on every weekends flying between Mumbai – Pune highway.
For now lets wait n watch what is superman going to do n how will he fight the sugarry diabetes.

Now its time for Batman & Robin’s (Jason & Vali) history making couple – latest rumours doing the round is that they are going to change their roles to He – Man and Battle cat.

I don’t know why we call him Batman, but suits him as he as an assistant to help him i.e. Robin. This superhero is different from others, due to the fact that he has no superpowers. He relies on his gadgets and bat suit to fight crime, the bat suit looks like a bat, and it is bullet proof. He also has a bat bike on which he use to fight crime but Superman stole it from him :(
Few days back he was a victim of poison ivy’s love arrow (I'll not mention the name here) but with the help from Superheroes and will of his own he was back in action hanging upside down in his closet. He hides a lot from super heroes, only his trusty assistant “Robin” knows of his secret. No superheroes are aware abt the secrets kept between Batman & Robin, hmmm let me guess some bat woman definitely.

Last year he found his sidekick “Robin” the wonder boy. Robin is all about words, but hardly any actions. None of the superheroes have seen any positive action from robin, but only batman has understood his true worth (if there is any). When robin hit the superheros scene, all thought he n spiderman will make history, as he had recd heavenly blessings from Spiderman. But then jeopardy struck & both went separate ways. Then Robin got influenced by Batman.
Robin now follows the adventures of Batman. Amazed at his dedication batman supplied him with his new armored costume and even sometimes his bat bike. Robin always hangs around with Batman and does what batman says. They even take break from crime fighting and go see some hindi movie or drink together without informing the other superheroes. Any ways they are going to make History that is for sure.

Now lets talk abt Phantom – (Sal) “The Ghost who walks – the man who cannot die”

This is an apt name for him, as he always disappears from the mist. The Phantom's superhero gimmick is his lack of one. While Superman has his powers, Batman his gadgets, and Spiderman his webs, the Phantom has, well, his glaringly purple suit and fearsome reputation to fight crime. He is the one who knows all the inner secrets of other superheros & can read their mind like an open book (ya all know, he has the power of blink with him). He likes to operate from the African jungles. He likes to read, actually he was the one who once upon a time was writing for superheroes, but don’t know what has happen to him. He’ll have the perfect solution to all your problems and an answer for every question you ask. But there's no use expecting him to be the answer to all your girlish dreams. He also likes soccer and plays in African premiership & is big fan of Manchester United. Sometimes I feel he is into deep thoughts, god knows what he is thinking of. Latest I heard the he and Superman are planning something big keeping the superheroes in the dark. He calls himself Blnk– e-mist.e. combination of Blink and Alchemist.


This part is written by my best buddy Sal – the Phantom
Spiderman – (Baps)
He is the man with webs; he uses his webs not only to catch people falling from building but also fishes…. Ya I know spiderman n fishes don’t mix, but this is our goan Spiderman. He has cast his nets all over Bombay, n now as he traveling places n makes it a point to throw his webs in every corner.
But so far he had been getting only star fish, jelly fish, cat fish, barracuda, small crabs running on the shore, empty shell fish, tortoise & n finally his price catch the Mermaid. (but phantom still feels that his first catch was the best). Spidey is very stuck on the Mermaid. He had also employed his other superhero friends to get him positive results. In the latest Spidey movies (Spiderman-3) harry played the role of spidey’s best friend n helped him to get his girl. But in real life, it looks their collective nets are too small for the Mermaid. But tats now history I guess. But u never knows history can be revisited anytime.
Right now thr is some negotiation in process between Spiderman & Superman. Some sought of barter system is taking place, Will keep the gang updated as the deal is struck.
Spidey is a man of principles, he is positive and thoughtful, and Spidey has set his Plan of Action & tries to follow it religiously. But it’s not started to fall in its place yet.
We all remember when we had gone for our trip to Whispering Woods – Lonavala, one astronomer saw at Spidey n said “He says something in the night & something else happens in the morning”.
Spidey is awesome fun when he’s a bit zonked…… full on paradeee deeee teeetttassss…….
we can & will never forget the night Spidey, phantom & Robin along with the neat vodka bottle, sat to drink in ultimate paradise & heard heavenly sermons & the most inspiration speeches that night till 4am from Spidey………………

Looks like there is a heavy curse of black pearls & kryptonites & poison ivies…..on the Superheroes will have to do some puja & drive them away.

Till then super heroes are fighting crime to keep the city safe from unwanted goons.
