Super heroes

Ladies, Gentlemen and George Carlin

I'm a tad bored at work so I was thinking what nonsense I could get up to when I thought "We haven't had a nonsense 15 for some time"

Back in the good old days we used to come up with silly teams made up of animals, dogs, etc! Things like Elephants as tightheads or Border Collies as stand offs!

So, lets see what kind of Super Hero 15 we can come up with!

The rules of rugby still apply so Super Heros that fly are not allowed to fly as this would be "jumping over a tackle"

Post your Super hero in whatever position you like, and the reasons for the pick
I'll get the ball rolling with:

15.
14. The Flash - For obvious reasons
13.
12.
11.
10.
9.
8.
7.
6.
5.
4.
3.
2.
1.

Are we allowed to include Batman at no 8, Bane at tight head and a Giant Red Crayon at 6?

Mr Fantastic in the second row, woudl rule the lineout. to bolster the scrum would maybe need his best friend the Thing beside him. Openside, fitting in with Richie McCaw, would have to be the Invisible Girl. To round out the Fantastic Four, how about the human torch on the left wing?

Surely Superman would have to slot in at 8 jimbo?

Mr incredible at TH?

Spiderman at full back to rule the high ball battles.

1. The Thing (obviously super-strong)
2.
3. The Incredible Hulk (same)
4.
5.
6.
7. Wolverine (tough to shift off the ball and when it comes to dirty play...)
8. Superman (has the right balance of super toughness and carefully maintained hair)
9.
10.
11. Quicksilver (speed)
12.
13. Batman (tough, agile, adaptable)
14. The Flash (see Quiksilver)
15. Spiderman (aerial experience)

I'd go Batman at 12, with Robin at 13. Great partnership.

12) Bizzaro, 13) Hush
11) Zoom, 14) Sliver Surfer, 15) Green Goblin

Head Coach: Mangeto + Joker

Surely Sam Burgess should feature somewhere?

As sam burgess has not yet appeared in a DC or marvel comic, he cannot be considered!

Welly has done a goodies vs baddies selection

Anyone fancy trying a marvel vs DC couple of teams?

I like it welly - a few tweaks from me (a few villains in there)

1) Bane , 2) Thing, 3) Hulk
4) Colossus, 5) Mr Fantastic
6) Dr Manhattan, 7) Wolverine, 8) Thor
9) Spider-Man, 10) Superman
12) Captain America, 13) Batman

Marvel:
1) Abomination 2) Thing, 3) Hulk
4) Colossus,5) Mr Fantastic
6) Rhino 7) Wolverine, 8) Juggernaut
9) Spider-Man, 10) Iron Man
12) Captain America, 13) Thor
11) Quicksliver, 14) Sliver Surfer, 15) Venom

DC
1) Kilowog 2) Grodd, 3) Clayface,
4) Killer Croc, 5) Dr Manhatten
6) Darkseid, 7) Bane, 8) Cyborg
9) Robin, 10) Superman
12) Batman, 13) Bizarro
11) Zoom, 14) Flash, 15) Green Lantern

No place for Beast from the X-Men? Agility, Intelligence, immense strength.

His place would be back row and honestly i prefer the other options TBH

Cant argue with that to be fair.

Beast would make an excellent 6

I'm not sure about Batman in the centre though! I think Ironman or Superman would do a number on him

He would also have superman and Bizarro on either side if he was against Marvel. Both of who could take on Iron man easy enough.

How about a cartoon 15 -
1, Ogre from Fragle rock
2, Panthro
3,Incredible Hulk
4,
5,
6, Hee-Man
7, Bravestar
8, Optimus Prime
9, Spiderman
10, Liono
11, Chetara
12, Batman
13, Skelatore
14,
15, Ulysses 31

Woah dude! Skelatore at 13 would a defensive liability!

But Batman there is a rock in defence!

batman doesn't even have any super powers!

The long winter nights must just fly by...

What about The Brown Bottle for Head Coach? Oh wait, he already works for the Welsh team...

But batman still kicks but.

Batman vs Superman!

Superman wins every time!

I would have Jesse Custer on the side as waterboy, using his voice to tell the opposition to 'trip' or 'drop the ball' or 'miss that kick'. You'd never lose.

Or Hitman reading the fly halfs mind. Very useful.

I was a big Garth Ennis fan.

Daredevil definitely has the attributes to ref this match.

He'd "see" more than your average Pro 12 ref!

Only need Dr Manhattan on my team

That's because Batman should not be on this list. He has zero super powers. Therefore, not a superhero.

Just a rich guy who has a lot of gadgets and a cool car. But also with a fetish for wearing black, prowling the streets at night, and hanging around with......boy wonders.

Discuss!

But he's a trained ninja (if you watch the movies) or trained by an SAS soldier (if you watch Gotham) so either one means you ARE magic....

Ahhh. So you think guys are MAGIC if they have a fetish for wearing black, prowl the streets at night, and hang around with......boy wonders..........

By that logic neither should iron man.

Batman has gone toe to toe with superman for gods sake. He has defeated Bane. (Who in the comic is much more of a badass than the film)

We are not talking Adam west Batman here.

Terrible prejudice against tax dodging exiles, Tattie.

Soap dodging ones, in particular.

Sorry to have come late to this thread, but I feel we are missing some key players here.

Might I introduce my own squad?

1. Matter Eater Lad (able to consume any matter at superspeed)
2. Infectious Lass (able to infect opponents with any transmissible disease)
3. Bouncing Boy (can inflate his body like a ball and bounce around without injury)
4. Anarchist (has the ability to secrete blasts of acidic sweat)
5. Tag (able to force opponents to either run away or run towards him)
6. Zeitgeist (able to vomit super acidic bile at will)
7. Tar Baby (sticks to anything)
8. Stone Boy (able to transform his body into indestructible - if immoblie - rock)
9. el Guapo (has no discernible superpowers, but owns a really neat skateboard)
10. Rainbow Girl (has the ability to instantly assume any emotional state)
11. Black Condor (raised by condors... to fly!)
12. Maggot (has mutant slugs inside his body which give him super strength, speed and stamina)
13. Arm Fall-Off Boy (can detatch his own limbs and uses them to beat opponents with)
14. Squirrel Girl (overwhelms opponents with squirrels, obviously)
15. Red Bee (has a trained swarm of bees)

Now, I know what you are thinking.
You are thinking, "But that's just a description of my own team".
But no!
They are genuine SUPERHEROS! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/02/19-weird-hilarious-superheroes-photos_n_1472258.html

I've just started to get my 5 year old to watch Bravestarr recently. They really don't make cartoons like that any more.

Heroes (Marvel)

1. Thing, 2. Beast, 3. Hulk, 4. Colossus, 5. Mr Fantastic, 6. Luke Cage, 7. Punisher, 8. Wonderman;
9. Gambit, 10. Spiderman, 11. Quicksilver, 12. Bishop, 13. Cable, 14. Cannonball, 15. Blackpanther

Villains (Marvel)

1. Abomination, 2. Avalanche, 3. Blob, 4. Dr. Octopus , 5. Apocalypse, 6. Sabertooth, 7. Loki, 8. Juggernaut;
9. Toad, 10. Red Skull, 11 Silversurfer, 12. Mr Sinister, 13. Omega Red, 14. Venom, 15. Winter Soldier

Im sure Hell Boy would be a useful addition to any 15s side!
