8 Superheroes You Wouldn't Want To Eat With

Comic-Con just wrapped up last weekend and, with The Avengers recently raking in over $600 million, it's pretty clear that we're in the middle of an enormous superhero renaissance. When I was a kid, I used to read She-Hulk comics. I know, I know, I would laugh at me, too. But I think it was better for me as a 9-year-old boy to be ogling a huge green woman instead of muscle-bound men in tights.

I wouldn't say I had a crush on She-Hulk (that's Jennifer Walters to you), but I wouldn't kick her out of bed. Actually, I couldn't. She would crush me. Outside of her, though, I don't think I'd want to spend much time with superheroes or their human alter-egos. In fact, I think they'd be terrible to take out for a meal. Here's my list of the worst superheroes to take to a restaurant on a date:

Hulk always go to bathroom when check arrive. Hulk might be awhile. Hulk meet you outside. Hulk ordered those nachos for the table, but Amy ate most of them.

I think The Flash would be a bad one.. cause he could dine and dash on you before you take your first bite of food :)

Not to be a major geek, but where would you come up with the idea of Wonder Woman having zero confidence? Also, she has no father; she was molded from clay by her mother and the goddess, Hera breathed life into her. Sorry, but you might want to brush up on your superhero triva a bit.

I wouldn't mind taking Dr. David Banner to a restaurant. He only hulks out when he's super angry or in pain(or at least that as Bill Bixby's version). If he hulks out, I'd just wait it out until he stopped being so outraged. As I've never read the Hulk comics and only go by the Incredible Hulk tv show of the 70's with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno, even his hulk character was gentle. Since Banner isn't a killer his alter ego can't be what he's not, and he doesn't go tossing people around until he's confronted. He'll just sit quietly exhausted and change back. Now whether the other Banners after Bixby's Banner are different in letting go, where as the late Bill Bixby's Banner tries to hold it off as long as possible, I don't know.

The super heroes I wouldn't be caught dead with are the ones who wear ridiculous costumes. Everyone I'm sure has a little Hulk or Thing in them. We don't exactly have inner selves in funny looking tights and capes and change in phone booths-er-would it be cell towers now?

*Daily Planet, Clark Kent/Superman works for the Daily Planet, not the Daily Bugle.

Peter Parker/Spiderman works at the Daily Bugle.

Wolverine's adamantium claw are retractable, though. I'd be more concerned about Wolverine's bad attitude. Not a pleasant person. Cyclops on the other hand would be a great date. Organized, clean cut, responsible. So long as he keeps his visor on (and you don't bring up Jean Grey), you're golden.

I like these superheroes better.

The only place you could take Aquaman would be a sushi joint. Maybe. Hopefully they don't have a lobster tank.

Daily Bugle? Superman? If you are going to write a comic book piece at least do the minimal research.

Daily Bugle, Daily Planet. It's an honest mistake IMO.

It's basic canon. If you are going to write an article spend 5 minutes doing a little research.
