Awesome Superheroes

Aspiring superhero? Well maybe you can learn a thing or two from Spidey as he trains us in some of his lesser known, but still “patented” crime-fighting maneuvers. Sling Stance! Doc-Knocker!

Life-sized metal replica with a diameter of about 24″. Wield Cap’s mighty shield, hang it on your wall, or use it as to actually block stuff. Don’t expect it to return when you throw it though.

Conan O’Brien’s superhero alter-ego gets the cartoon treatment, courtesy of DC Comics’ animator Bruce Timm. We can only hope that someday this will result in a feature-length film.

Marc Webb’s reboot of the Spider-Man franchise may not hit theaters until July 2012, but the first trailer has already leaked to the net. Who would win in a fight? Andrew Garfield or Tobey MacGuire?

Warner Bros. released this action-packed four-minute reel from the Green Lantern, after showing a ten-minute version that wowed fans at WonderCon. Consider our curiosity piqued.

We just saw the teaser, and now we have the first full trailer, with much more of the birth of the first Avenger (and a tiny bit more Red Skull.) There’s just something cool about a superhero with a gun.

What are you looking for in a partner? Do you want someone unique? Someone with lofty ambitions, or perhaps someone willing to die for the good of mankind? Then check out this awesome dating site!

These awesome LEGO minifigs are the work of Julian Fong. We can’t believe they’re not official. Fong initially made minifigs of DC superheroes, but is now working on Street Fighter minifigs.

Conan O’Brien’s flamboyant alterego superhero, The Flaming C, has returned – oven mitt, fishnets, golf shoes and all – to make a very special guest appearance on Young Justice. (Thanks Matt!)

A tip of the hat to Phoenix Jones, a Seattle vigilante crimefighter complete with superhero suit, who’s been stabbed and held at gunpoint since starting his crusade and still keeps going. (Thanks Jhon!)

Much like chocolate and peanut butter, we think dinosaurs and superheroes are one of the greatest combos ever; ergo, we’re pleased to present the inspired illustrations of David Resto. (Thanks Matt!)

The superheroes of the Marvel universe enter a new world in April 2011, taking on the most intense evil they’ve ever encountered in this epic new 7-issue series. More detail on the storyline here.

Artists Mike and Matt of Wonder Bros offer these Picasso-esque superhero prints over at their Etsy shop. While we kinda like scrambled Spider-Man, The Man of Steel is going to give us nightmares.

Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions is getting ready to swing into stores on 9/7, so Marvel has been kind enough to share this extended look at the action-packed time-shifting webslinger.

You name it, the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. has it, from capes to secret identities. We’re particularly interested in these lab supplies though. Don’t let the crooks know about this okay?

Get an early glimpse at Seth Rogan, Jay Chou, and Cameron Diaz in the world-premiere trailer of the quirky superhero remake, directed by Michel Gondry. Christoph Waltz looks menacing as ever.

After a murder reminiscent of his own parents’ death, Batman struggles with his own demons. It can’t compete with Nolan’s Bat-films, but the $27k fan flick gives 1990s Batman a run for his money.

Get a brief, but exciting look at the villains in the new Spider-Man game, Shattered Dimensions. We think Goblin looks the coolest, but Kraven and Hammerhead will probably kick your ass too.

With a little help from Michael Bublé, Spider-Man pull us into his web with this demonstration of one of his lesser-known talents. More jazz hands, Spidey! (Thanks for the tip, Theylan!)

This incredible 1/6th-scale diorama of Bruce Wayne’s armory from The Dark Knight is an major feat in model-making. Built by Gee-Whiz Customs, it’s just like the original, only much, much smaller.

Design team Dark Igloo’s BOOOM! shirts debuted at the 2010 MoCCA Festival. The white shirt features a mix of 13 heroes, while the black shirt has 10 villains. Can you name all of them?

Judging from this short film, Spider-Man is clearly a lot less advanced than other superheroes. Don’t expect him to fix any of the world’s big problems. Actually, don’t expect him to solve any problems.
