    And I was just sent a link where they go through each of those times here

    It seems from Spiderman to the Punisher, they all gave it a go at some point!

    I particularly like the bit in the Spiderman one where the Irish being catholic fenians is blamed on the poor spanish :pac:

    Right. I cannot be the only one thought this was another Gerry Adams/John Hume/Ian Paisley /David Trimble /Mowlam bashing thread :confused:

    yeah the massively overrated garth ennis is a nordie so he likes to throw that **** into the punisher along with all the other dozy im-a-hard-case-me characters that he loves so much. You'd have to wonder if he ever knew any paramilitary types from either side or was he just a middle class poindexter reading his comics

    Oh that famous captain planet episode....that was a lol and a half

    Highlights include:
    "If it's doomsday this must be Belfast" (The episodes title!)

    Within 5 seconds of landing there's a lad from the ra throwing a petrol bomb in the hope that the catholics would kick the "Fenian Prods" out

    "Sean is it? Lads, i think we got a Catholic in the neighbourhood"

    "You gotta be kidding, you beat each other up because of your names?"

    Definition of clueless, priceless stuff

    Spiderman was very quick to blame the Spanish for the conflict. Not sure where the writers got that from.

    It's sad to think though, if only Gerry Adams and Ian Paisley had just got together and opened a bakery years ago none of the **** in the North would have happened. :rolleyes:

    Orangeman had all references to Bananaman deleted!

    It's worth noting that the Orange Order created their own superhero named Diamond Dan (After the Battle of the Diamond). He was derisively nicknamed 'Sash Gordon'.

    SuperTed would have sorted the mess out in no time.

    or Bootleg Billy after it had turned out the character design was plagiarised :pac:
