    46 miles in 2 days. Great running.
    Does Mrs Ultraman wear a cape too?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 711 ✭✭✭who007


    Just wondering.. but would Mrs. Ultraman not be Ultrawoman? Or does that honour go to someone else? I would like to suggest Eva Green as Ultrawoman if they make the movie.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,742 ✭✭✭ultraman1
