MyLot's superheroes

Many superheroes have joined myLot. We have @Superman, @Spiderman, @Elektra, @Batman among our regular members. We have even a plagiarized superhero (it is ironic !) @Superboy. Actually, @Superman is occupied to fight against @Doomsday in Metropolis, @Batman to fight against @TheJoker in Gotham City, but our local superhero GoAskAlice does not need help to fight evil people at myLot City, and @LoisLane and @ClarkKent have no news for the Daily Planet. I was enjoying to read superhero comics when I was a kid. What about you ? Have you joined a site with a superhero username ? Have you a superhero among your friends at myLot ?

You've clearly been doing some 'e-Archaeology' @topffer! No, I don't think I count any of the ones you mention among my friends or contacts. One which, I suppose, would be to my taste would be @SuperbOwl ... but then, with just a slight change in capitalisation, it might, after all, be someone who is only keen on baseball, which interests me hardly at all!

I need to dig, it is probably an occupational oddity. I dug a bit to find them, they are not active since 8 or 9 years. I have not dug enough. I should have thought that an owl would look for an owlish superhero and a lamb for a lambish one. I am controlling if this last word exists in English, and I find a quote from Chaucer (1374) : "The lambisshe pepyl voyd of all vice, Hadden noo fantasye to debate." Happily our Lamb is no void of vices and has some fantasies to debate.

Some people have a habit of buying domain names and keep them parked. Later they find the right prospect and sell it. Maybe the super heroes had hatched such a plan too.... they always knew, the days of Transformers are ahead As for superheroes as friends at MyLot... I have quite a bunch of them - maybe because I am one too

@topffer I think @Jlyn10 is still taking her power nap. It might not be worthy of Superhero to sell his/her username, but then, superheroes too would get old and go out of business someday or the other.... also today's competition is growing tougher - in the past there were only Batman, Superman, some of Flash Gordon, Mandrake... and today, as you mention - Elektra, Wonderwoman... What about Wolverine or even Catwoman? Can we count them on the list of superheroes too .. Let me get a list of super heores from the Lego Movie... loved that one

@thesids It is a super nap. Competition between superheroes is behind us I think. The golden age was in the 1970's-1980's. I was reading a lot of comics when I was a kid, but now kids are less interested by superheroes I think. I see less robots/superheroes in stores for Christmas than before.

The name of parked domains for sale is incredible. I know somebody who bought about 25 domains 10 years ago, and has kept them. He is a domain collector. He forgot to pay for one on time, and the domain has been stolen by another domain collector. We live in a wild web. I think that myLot does not give twice the same user name, even if an account is deleted, and it would be not worthy for a superhero to sell his user name. Now that you are here, we can call @Jlyn10 to join. I have started this discussion to show her that she is not alone, and should lower her wages.

The closest I've been to a super hero name online is calling myself Sylar way back in the day... which was a vilian in the show Heroes, which I loved

I see we are watching the same things. Sylar is a true villain. I would never imagine with such an avatar that you would like to be a super-killer.

Just for curiosity I have checked Superboy and I see that are plenty of superboys, of course followed by a number to identify them. The superboy no numers has zero discussions. I suppose the moderator has deleted everything.

It may be that that person joined and never posted anything. There are, I suspect, quite a number of accounts like that.

I don't see Superman1, but yes there are many Superboys. Only old discussions against the guidelines have been deleted, and the discussions started by members banned. A spammer would have been banned. No, it is something else. I suppose that you receive notifications of new followers like I do, and some people following have never posted one line. I don't know how many people are joining daily and are not posting, but they are many. If all discussions are indexed by search engines, there is a filter for adult words (a bit stupid and severe) for external views ; the only way to be sure to read completely a discussion is to join, and it is also the only way to follow the discussions posted every day. We have invisible stalkers here.

@topffer Yes, I see that several follow every day, but when I check their profiles they have not submitted any discussion. I agree that we have invisible stalkers.

I think we need a DangerMouse. He was my favorite superhero, along with his sidekick, Penfold.

Never heard of these comics. I cannot say if they were available in France : we were only boys at home, and more interested by superheroes than by models. It would be different today.

haha, interesting. You seem to have a plot in mind! Perhaps one day your idea will spring into cartoons, and Disney will buy over the rights of some of your cartoon characters.

I do not draw cartoons, but Wonder Woman is a friend at myLot. I live in a city full of cartoonists (half of the animated cartoons made in France are made in my city) and maybe they have influenced me.

They seem to have deserted myLot long ago, except a few ones. I don't think that a superhero is an ordinary member. Maybe I would follow him because he is a celeb ?

I was reading comics but never joined a site with a superhero name. It would be interesting to know why people might choose a superhero nickname. Is any one of them active to share with us?

It seems that none of them is active now. We have a super heroine, but the avatar only (I suppose that the user name was not available). She was not here today. I try again to attract her into this discussion. @Jlyn10, an interview for you !

I actually did like the comics when I was a kid. In fact, I still love watching all the movies and am looking forward to the new movies that will be coming in the next few years.
