Does Sheffield need it's very own caped crusader, a shining beacon of light within the lawless night. Captain Crookes, Totley Torch or the Gleadless Guardian.
would they be sneered at?
or would they be welcomed?
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
NO! It's The Dore Mouse.

Named after the pub, s/he could be called the Shiny Sheff!

Captain Apathy and his trusty sidekick Teen Idle.

Gasp as they shrug and wander off in the face of adversity.

Shriek as they sigh and roll their eyes, tutting at evil masterminds and muttering "whats the point, it won't change anything"

Howl as they bravely nod off when humanity needs them most.

Laugh with derision at their incessant whinging

(wasn't the shiny sheff named after the newly comissioned HMS Sheffield? Anyone?)

haha good topic :thumbsup:

Decay Deliverer? - or we already have that, otherwise known as Sheffield City Council :D

It was named after an HMS Sheffield but not the current one. It's been called The Shiny Sheff for as long as I remember.

shares in spandex would soar :thumbsup:
it takes a real man to wear a catsuit :wink:
Beer guts need not apply :P

must also have a pair of glasses handy in order to fool everyone! as we all know whack on a pair of specs and OMG we're unrecognisable!!! :roll:

The well documented "Clark Kent Syndrome," change clothes and affect a slightly different accent and even your closest friends will not recognise you...even more bizarre in the case of He-Man and Prince Adam, that guy never even bothered with the glasses, he just deepened his voice and wore bondage gear and no one wanted to raise the subject for fear of what awful fetish he might inflict upon them.

As for a Sheffield superhero...how about "Captian Chav" and his sidekick "Burberry Boy." They could ride to the scene of crimes in a modified vauxhall nova equipped with a monsterous stereo system and blacked out windows. Once there they could follow the villains back to their lairs and hang about on the street with their minging girlfriends while drinking cider and chain-smoking until the evil-doers neighbourhood goes downhill and they move away in disgust.

And here was me looking for a change of career anyway - and I even have the glasses!!!

Errr... has no-one seen me flying up Ecclesall Road recently?

I will have to wear brighter, tighter, lycra in future if I want to get noticed. :P

How about Super Chav?

Or Captain Chav & Burberry Boy, as I suggested 3 posts back!

Nice to see a light hearted vein running through this thread which is how it was intended, keep up the good comments folks.
