Entry of Shame

A friend of mine owns something that is called "The Ultimate Avengers". What this is, is a modern re-telling of the Captain America mythos, post 9-11 and all, pimples and poxwarts included. It's pretty freaking brilliant, with a lot of tongue in cheek alien conspiracies and Asgardian deities that are sort of, but not quite, like Greenpeace.

For those of us with a more than advanced knowledge of the relationship between covert American activities and Sunni Arab terrorism, it gets just a bit funnier yet. In the twenty-first century, with our fantastic offensive capabilites available to the common man, we're all super-heroes. Or super-terrorists. That's for the tribunals to decide.
