1) WONDER WARTHOG
Is he the greatest superhero parody character of all time?
Naaah, that’s probably Deadpool, but he’s pretty awesome nonetheless. The Hog Of Steel, secretly mild-mannered reporter Philbert Desenex, dates back to 1961 and has had more than a few adventures parodying Superman in particular and comic book stories in general.

Thanks to Faithful Spoilerite @otterdisaster for this week’s topic and free to follow along @MightyKingCobra for more Ten Things madness on Twitter (or check out the full archive here!)

Either way, the comments section is Below for just such an emergency, but, as always: Please, no wagering!

Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.
