Who knew Robert Downey Jr. could be such a BADASS!?!?! (pronounced buh-DAS)
Well, actually I guess we all have seen the mugshots....
It is kinda BADASS if you are smiling like a fool right before you become Bubba's new girlfriend.
But seriously, Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. as a womanizing millionaire turned egotistical superhero was absolutely amazing! Now, THIS is what I call BADASS!
Now, I have no comic book knowledge and no real reason to be an authority on any characters created by the imaginative geniuses over at Marvel, or Image or DC.... But I am willing to bet that I can come up with a reason why Iron Man is waaaaay better than any other super hero.
Go ahead. Challenge me.

Batman?
phsh. who do you think you are? Batman? No challenge. I mean sure he is devilishly handsome millionaire, Bruce Wayne, but that's the same characteristics as Iron Man's alter ego, Tony Stark. However, Tony constantly sleeps with promiscuous women and parties on his private plane! Way cooler millionaire. Plus, Batman is mentally disturbed. I mean, the guy has got issues. Fighting crime because his parents were murdered and he's afraid of some winged creature the size of a tennis ball! Pussy. Next.
Spiderman?
C'mon. Where's the fun. This guy is not even ripped for one. And two, why protect your alter ego, if that life sucks. No family left (R.I.P. Uncle Ben, I always have loved the convenience of your 90 second rice). Works like 3 jobs and still can't make ends meet. Dingy, crappy apartment. His girlfriend is boring, I mean, does Kirsten Dunst have any other facial expression besides this?
What are you even looking at M.J.?
Oh no. You're conflicted super hero buddy is in trouble again?
Or is that blank stare because you can't figure out whether you want cheeze-filled pretzels or Mrs. Field's mini cookies from the vending machine?
Or maybe just a little too much Mary Jane....

Plus, what superhero can wear a tight one piece unitard and not have an outline of his rippling 8-pack abs or his bulging junk. C'mon. No fun. Pussy.
Superman?
Not even going to get into this one. I'll just say the two words on everyone's mind.
SUPER PUSSY.
You know I'm right.
Gimme more. Seriously. Give me a superhero, I will find a way to prove that Iron Man is undeniably the greatest BADASS that has ever saved the world!

If we're talking about bad-assedness, Shan Banan, I don't quite know that it gets any more bad ass than The Punisher.
great choice. i did a little research on the punisher and i will have to admit, that is a REALLY badass logo! seriously. and pretty awesome how he follows no rules. however, wikipedia says that he was "emotionally disturbed..." Basically he has post tramatic stress disorder from being in the war and watching his family die. Emotionally disturbed is the term we used in psychology class to describe that crazy homeless ex-vet on the corner who thinks the trashcan is his sweet new puppy, until the day he hears a car backfire and gets flashbacks of vietnam and goes on a shooting rampage. scary crazy guy that you never want to mess with, yes. badass super hero, i think not.
nice try
waıt. Robert Downey Jr. ıs Iron man? Thanks for ruınıng the endıng of the movıe Shannon. Next you are goıng to tell me the ıdentıty of the Red Power Ranger.
Hey Shan, what about Underdog.
Your Father
i think i'm going to have to agree with you. iron man is bad ass. plus he needed more than sewing skills to put his costume together!
Shan! Ohmygosh, you are so freakin hilarious! I LOVED your analysis of the superheroes! Soooo funny, you silly chica! I think you made a VERY good argument! At first I was not too excited about seeing Ironman-- I thought to myself, dude, this guy builds a suit made out of iron. So what?! But after seeing it, I have to agree that he is pretty dang badass. What is it about Robert Downey Jr? Who knows, but you just gotta love it. You gotta! And you gotta respect that he's not hiding who he is-- NO way. Who would want to hid that they're so badass?! hee-- I love that you gave a warning about your hubby. I just told my comic-book loving nerd -alert husband how funny this post is--I'm interested to get his pro opinion. Can an opinion be pro? I dunno. Ok, I'm really rambling now. Anyways, great post!
p.s. I'm so bummed we didn't get to meet up in Chicago. :( I totally wanted to make it over to your bar but we were super, super busy and then apparently either I do not know how to work mapquest or it's a freakin liar! Before John and I left for our little trip I mapquested our hotel, the Hard Rock, and I was sure the two places were pretty much next door neighbors but then when I got to Chicago I called a bud to look up directions and he said it was 15 mins or 12 miles away or something and by that time it was super late and who knows how long a taxi would have taken/cost...yada yada yada. Ack! Who knows what was up with that?! Anyways, I wish I had way more time in your lovely city and that I could have said HI! Boo. Um, this was a really, really long explanation. I swear I'm not a crazy stalker (haha, I guess if I was really a stalker I would have met up!)-- I just need to learn how to write shorter comments (and blog posts)-- it's a problem!
