I quickly deleted some entries that I thought had characters listed that really aren't superheroes by any stretch of the imagination; I also deleted three with six responses instead of five. I apologize, but I have to play it pretty strictly or we end up with half the responses trying to push the limits for humor's sake and then argue their way into the results post, at which point I get tired of arguing and kill the feature.
