I am not really found of characters that get to BUY superpowers. Sure, it is an old Internet meme, but guys like Batman or Iron Man seem to me like casual simpletons, blessed by a certain sadistic God with tons and tons of spendola. And what do you do when you have spendola and are not sane enough to just stay in house, play some MMO and drink your life to death? You get bored. And buy superpowers. And try to imitate a cool dude from The Justice League. And since you have that kind of money, you actually buy your damn way into The Justice League-kun.

The last deal in the acquisitions of superpowers business was made between Madhouse, your all favorite Paprika and Gay Note creators, and Marvel Comics. The reason? Iron Man. The same thing that was (incredibly successful) brought to the big screen lately. I, for one, despised the movie, for several reasons, the main one being the fact that a Marvel movie is dependent on action. And this one had none, just some blah blah bullshit and an egocentric Downey Jr. But that is not the issue here.

The Sports Nippon newspaper published a "versus" image fight, between the American version, and the soon-to-be adapted into an anime Japanese version. The spring of 2010 will set the tables. We'll just have to bring the bento. And the chopsticks. And the lolis, since this show will certainly miss them by a mile.
