Max Kellerman’s Superhero Athletes

I could do without the casual locker-room homophobia, but I'm linking to this anyway because almost none of the choices make any sense and yet I'm still amused. This is the kind of thing that superhero fans used to get upset about, but at this point I just think it's funny, like Max Kellerman doesn't really want to have a feature like this but it seems like a good idea because the overwhelming spirit of the times demands they do so and so they toss one up. I'm not sure why this strikes me as humorous. The mainstream media world is basically Flash Thompson now.

In a similar vein, I think Kevin Garnett's description of Wolverine should be the one used in all the X-Men books from now on. "Refurbish" is a great word to use there.
