But you'd be wrong. I grant you, having to walk around looking like someone's mushroom-induced Native American dreamcatcher / rotating baby mobile would be painful. And any outfit combining shirtlessness with elbow-high society-ball gloves would definitely be difficult.

But worse than looking like a loon -- far, far worse -- is being forced to use your powers to mate with a dinosaur in the hopes of one day creating loons!

You know you've lost the super-hero team sweepstakes when, in a motley crew like that, you're the one getting pitying looks for something other than your hideous costume.
