The water-powered ninja of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger, Nanami Nono dreams of becoming a television pop star/idol, a goal which she achieved after her team defeated Space Ninja Group Jakanja (because she no longer had to disappear during her shows or auditions to fight giant alien creatures, natch.) Fifteen years after, she returned with two other semi-retired Sentai heroines as part of the Hero Mama League, which, frankly, is brilliant…
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.

Wasn’t Crossfire from DNAgents land (Eclipse Comics) a Hollywood guy? Also the Fly from Marvel — a stuntman? Not sure about that one.
Crossfire was a bail bondsman in L.A., so tangentially Hollywood…
“Human Fly”, sorry.

Thanks for the lists! Always fun
The Human Fly was a fave-rave of mine, based loosely on a real-life stuntman, so his absence here is entirely one of “only ten spaces.” :)
I would have included Animal Man and Blue Devil on the list. Both of them are stunt/special effects guys.
Ooh, Blue Devil is an excellent call!
