Flags for different superheroes.

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

Here is a fun picture of what the flags of different super-folk would look like.

Which ones do you like? Which ones make you go, "I wouldn't wipe my ass with that!"

Can you connect the correct flag with it's hero?

A challenge I say!

Enjoy!

Hulk's is... unimpressive :) Like Thors. WW could do better. Ditto Spidey.

[blake_reitz]

I feel having flags for Captain America, Vindicator, and Captain Britain is a little...redundant.

[featheredserpent]

Rorschach's flag oughta be a ragged, all-over inkblot (with someone else's bloodstains).

[icon_uk]

It definitely should look... seedier.

[proteus_lives]

This.

Perhaps with the word, "No" under the inkblot.

[whitesycamore]

And crudely drawn on a piece ripped from the side of a cardboard box.

Row 3: Punisher, martian manhunter, Rorschach, Wonder Woman, ??

Captain Atom at the end

Row 8: Space Ghost, ?, Daredevil, ?, ?

The one after Daredevil is Bane.

[freezer]

I knew those looked maddeningly familiar!

[drmcninja]

Actually, I think thats Spawn.

[nezchan]

Space Ghost > Spawn

That is all.

[drmcninja]

Well, duh, but SG doesn't have red eyes, so it can't be him.

[nezchan]

There's a Visine for that.

[icon_uk]

I wondered about that, but Spawn has green eyes in his logo, never red.

[q99]

Oh yes, Spawn would make sense.

[icon_uk]

Row 4, Flag 4 - Ultra Boy
Row 8, Flag 2 - Deathstroke (the bisected black and orange background is his mask)

[richardak]

Row 8, flag 2 looks black and red to me, not black and orange.

[icon_uk]

Meh, close enough I think.

[stubbleupdate]

The one to the right of Daredevil is Bane

Re: Row 8

[glprime]

After Bane is... Timber Wolf?

[lilacsigil]

I think the one to the right of Wonder Woman is Captain Atom.

Row 10

[glprime]

After Birdman, I believe Ant Man?

Row 10

[glprime]

And the white and yellow with the X badge is cartoon Storm.

Re: Row 10

[icon_uk]

Or Elixir? (Is he the only one still wearing white and gold?)

[sinorhizobium]

OMG Row 7 #1: El Chapulin Colorado....LOL I grew up with that TV show XD

[jeyl]

Nice to know that Batman and Superman are the first two flags yet Wonder Woman is the 15th one down. Even flag makers are biased.

[werehawk]

I like most and simpler seems better. Supes & Spidey's need some work. GLs should be one large GL symbol with green background.

[werehawk]

Also, I wonder if flags shouldn't be for teams as it is a little redundant for individuals. That said, I wish there was a Booster Gold flag.

[star_of_airdrie]

What, no Nightwing? I like Hawk and Dove. Reminds me of Alsace-Lorraine.

[halloweenjack]

If the "Z" flag is supposed to be Zatanna, it needs to be a rabbit on a fishnet background, maybe with a motto in egaugnal drawkcab.

[kenwyn89]

Wonder Woman and Thor's are my fav I believe.

[biod]

I really love the Thor flag. The rest are a bit mediocre to me.

[ian_karkull]

I was way into Heraldry and used to make up my own flags as a teen, so this gives me big Nerd Boners.

Also, I like how the Thing's flag is technically a very large picture of his junk and/or butt.

[proteus_lives]

As someone with their family Heraldry tattooed on their back, I'm there with ya on the nerd boners.

[ian_karkull]

My dad, bless his heart and all the Nerd tendencies he inherited to me, traced our heritage back over 600 years and even when he found only peasants and craftsmen in our lineage, he took it upon himself to turn our family name into a Heraldic Sigil.
So now "my Coat of Arms" is a ferocious brown boar standing upon a lush, green hill. And If I was a Knight and if such things still mattered I would gladly ride into battle under that banner.

Yours is a proud banner indeed!

[proteus_lives]

I can only trace mine, for sure, to the 1750s. When the first member of my father's family set foot in Virgina. Before that it's just Scottish stories.

My Coat of Arms is a Knight's helmet with a owl sitting on it. Under that three lions passant and three Maltese crosses on a field of blue and white.

The coat goes back at least 150 years and I got mine on my back on my 18th birthday.

I've always loved it. And I just finished book three of the Song of Ice and Fire, so heraldry and knights have been on my mind as of late.

Call your banners Ser and the Boar and Owl shall ride together! ;)

Re: Yours is a proud banner indeed!

[ian_karkull]

That. is. awesome.

I've literally just finished the second book and the third one lies waiting, so I know exactly how you feel, Ser Proteus.

Re: Yours is a proud banner indeed!

[proteus_lives]

Oh, you'll like the third one. I've ordered a Feast for Crows and I'm chewing my arm off waiting for it.

Did you watch the HBO series? Do so! Or be prepared to Take the Black!

Re: Yours is a proud banner indeed!

[ian_karkull]

I actually watched the show first, thinking I wouldn't have time for another 1000+ pages fantasy epic. What a craven fool I've been! The season finale ended (with time difference) at 6:00 AM and at 6:02 AM I've already started CoK. This has not been a particularily prodcutive or restful week so far.
The show is amazing and I can'T wait to see how they'll design all the new locations next season, books and show are slightly different beasts though. For instance, I quite like how they've struggled to make TV Cersei a more sympathetic character, the constant sexposition though makes it feel like everyone was Theon Grejoy.

I've ordered Book Three as soon as I had less than 200 pages to go and started it last night. Three blasts of the horn means it's about to get good, and I won't get any sleep soon.

Re: Yours is a proud banner indeed!

[proteus_lives]

ZOMG.

I just finished AFFC and it's awesome.

I've finished all four books and I fucking hunger for A Dance with Dragons. HUNGER.

The TV show honors the source material while adding it's own awesome stuff. Cersei is so much more sympathetic in the show, I hope they do the same with Jamie. (Jamie/Brienne is my ASOIAF otp) The costumes, sets and music are so good. I can't wait to see the Free Cities, Dorne and others. Yeah, the subtitle of the show could have been Theon: Release the Kraken!. ;)

Oh man, I want more books and more shows from this wonderful series.

May the Seven bless George R.R. Martin!

[eyz]

I love those! :D
Very fun initiative^^
Some of them even sort of come across like actual country flags!
