Top 10 Ways to Tell You're a Failed Superhero

10. Controlling the weather is easy for you, but going to a portable public toilet... not so easy.

9. You like to dress in tight costumes and climb tall buildings, but can't escape from being arrested afterwards.

8. When you list your web making ability on your CV, people ask you what websites you created.

7. You are missing the gear in your super speed that turns back time.

6. The only use for X-ray vision you can think of is to peek at people's bodies under their clothes.

5. You can only defeat super-villians by out-drinking them.

4. You always fall on your head when hanging upside-down to kiss girls.

3. People keep telling you Halloween is over

2. Other superheroes laugh and call you names because you don't have any real super powers

Ooh, like Aquaman! *Put up his flame shield for the "Aquaman" fanboys (not that there are any, but just in case)*

1. Your battlecry is "Not the face!"

I seriously had to stop laughing to breathe reading this. And that's saying soemthing, because I usually don't laugh much. Once I get used to a type of comedy, it doesn't seem funny anymore (That takes about 100 combined hours of being subject to that type of comedy, which is why, after watching all the Home Alone movies, I got tired of slapstick comedy.)

Ehh, he's just pretty to look at. Also, ageed Aquaman really needs... well... another overhaul. One more thing: "seriously;" seriously? I mean it's a count down list.
