The 2010 Michigan Wolverines as Superheroes
I was listening to a bowl rundown earlier on local talk radio, and the hosts came to a consensus that it would require a "heroic effort" for Michigan to overcome Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl. That got me thinking...
If our beloved Wolverines were rendered as comic book superheroes, who would they be? I whipped up a few examples...
Denard Robinson is The Flash. This one is obvious. They don't call him "Flash Dilithium" for nothing.
Mike Martin is The Hulk (aka Bruce Banner). Yet another obvious choice. Mike Martin is a scary, scary man. You won't like him when he's angry.
Perry Dorrestein is The Punisher (aka Frank Castle). It's not just a tattoo; it's a lifestyle.
Rich Rodriguez is Batman (aka Bruce Wayne). A tortured, obsessive, brilliant warrior who continues doing all the right things even when public opinion turns against him.
Tate Forcier is Robin (aka Dick Grayson). Though he's been forced to resign himself to a supporting role, he is always there in a pinch, armed with batarangs.
And finally...
Cam Gordon is Commissioner Jim Gordon.

Okay, I am sold. I love this.
I came here expecting text, and got awesome artwork instead.
Fav - Martin/hulk
Most creative - Cam-issioner Gordon
Missing - shouldn't someone be Wolverine? Or are they all wolverine?

but I got a huge laugh at the Tate as Robin. It was a very well done post.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:39 PM ^
that is so funny i cracked my nuts off

Ghost of Bo needs at least 2500 MGoPoints by the close of business today. Lets make some sweet pos-intercourse!
[Edit: Holy sh-t. As of 4:40pm EST, he's almost there!]
[Edit #2: Done and done. Nice work!]
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:54 PM ^
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:23 PM ^
Well done.
But no Wolverine??
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:35 PM ^
Very nice post. The Barwis-Wolverine picture added below needs a little bit of work but it could definitely make the cut.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:24 PM ^
Thank you. Plus one and much smile.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:24 PM ^
Great job, but Denard has to flash that million dollar smile and Cam-missioner Gordon at first reminded me of Eddie Murphy.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:31 PM ^
Agreed on Eddie Murphy-- that was my first thought as well.
EDIT: I just saw Flash's shoelaces!! Nice touch!
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:25 PM ^
...front page.
Mods: make it happen, please.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:29 PM ^
Jeremy Gallon as Mintberry Crunch.
Justin Boren as The Coon. (not a Michigan player, I know, but it works)
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:31 PM ^
How about Justin Boren as the Blob.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:22 PM ^
Genius! Boren has been added to the Rogues Gallery of arch-villains.
Justin Boren is The Blob.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:25 PM ^
Thank you. Amazing work.
December 22nd, 2010 at 2:33 PM ^
You seem to have blended his chin into his neck. That's some really bad shooping in my op...
OH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE ;)
Awesome post! +1
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:29 PM ^
Gorgeous work.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:30 PM ^
awesome job Ghost. Thanks for posting
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:34 PM ^
I may actually have to change my pick for Robin. After posting, it hit me that Tate is not, in fact, the Boy Wonder. There's only one man for the job...
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:50 PM ^
...inspired stuff. I hope you're enjoying the posbang.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:35 PM ^
jealous of your free time. Some nice photoshop work-- Martin's clearly the best one.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:48 PM ^
What an awesome asshole comment. Better than the shit you make.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:56 PM ^
My absolute apologies, Ghost of Bo, if you took it the same way as Mr. Busey.
December 22nd, 2010 at 2:52 PM ^
No offense taken, good sir. The trouble with the interwebs is things can get lost in translation.
And you're right... I spent about 3 times longer on the Martin one than the others. Now that finals are over, the daytime hours are spent dicking around in Photoshop on my laptop and pining for the Gator Bowl.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:38 PM ^
This is amaaaaaaaazing.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:38 PM ^
These are so good! Great work.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:40 PM ^
...Red Wolf would be apropos. Apparently the spirit of Red Wolf passes from person to person, much like Troy describes in his description of how he became aware of his T-Wolf persona.
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:45 PM ^
In response to the above posts regarding Wolverine... I think I've cracked it. There is only one man with the musculature, testosterone, and feral drive to wear the dreaded adamantium claws...
Mike Barwis is Wolverine.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:38 PM ^
The glare. It consumes me.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:40 PM ^
+1000000
December 22nd, 2010 at 10:13 PM ^
boyeeeeee

December 22nd, 2010 at 12:50 PM ^
Full of win.
May I add one? I am not good this graphic arts so you will have to use your imagination on the youtube video...
Obi Ezeh....
Is he Captain Insano or the Waterboy being Captain Insano?
December 22nd, 2010 at 12:56 PM ^
Excellent post. Very creative and a great job with the artwork.

I can not understate this enough. THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:14 PM ^
Very nice work. Now do the rest of the team.....J/K
December 22nd, 2010 at 6:29 PM ^
Ghost says he's finished his finals.
Love RR Batman too. Something even his own kids could be proud of.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:16 PM ^
I love this post. This post wins the interwebs, at least for today.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:17 PM ^
Add me to the chorus of kudos. Very cool.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:24 PM ^
Ghost of Bo----
Taylor Lewan as Hellboy?
I heart you.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:41 PM ^
Good call on Lewan. He has Hellboy's short temper and fiery mentality, but he also has a heart of gold underneath his rugged facade.
Taylor Lewan is Hellboy.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:50 PM ^
Awesome...Thank you for this.
Although his temper may cause him to do collateral damage unwarranted by his team, when he is needed the most he comes through.
Mustache Tattoo's Power = Right hand of Doom's power.
December 22nd, 2010 at 4:45 PM ^
I would've gone with Lewan as the Punisher, but this works, too.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:30 PM ^
This Thread is:
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:32 PM ^
Awesome work, some of the best I've seen all year. Barwis as Wolverine was a great choice. Molk as the Thing? It's $%#@n clobberin time!
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:34 PM ^
Ghost of Bo, any way we can get a potentially memorial photoshop of Greg Robinson? Maybe as Batman's butler, Alfred?
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:51 PM ^
I agree. GERG needs to be included. However, he isn't Alfred Pennyworth.
GERG is Rachel Dawes.
December 22nd, 2010 at 1:54 PM ^
Not much to say other than you, sir, are brilliant.
