I liked Spiderman. He could live up to his name, unlike that sissy Batman. I've got a feeling you're having a go a certain group of people, Ivan. If so, you're being unusually coy about it.
Uuuuh, no - I just liked the picture. Maybe my subconscious is at work here, then. Who did you have in mind, GB?
In that case, I don't want to put ideas in your head. Gorilla Bananas is no provocateur. Apparently the radiation from the Chernobyl accident did much less harm than expected.
That picture is obviously a fake. Are you going to tell me that his shoes mutated, too?
And GB, Batman is not a mutant, so that comparison is is little unfair. Which is not to say tbat he's not a complete and utter cunt.
Still, sooner Batman than Superman. At least it's possible for Batman to get hurt. Being invulnerable, why should Superman be considered brave? We're just a friggin' hobby to that weirdo. His long reign as an American icon might go some way to shed light upon some otherwise inexplicable displays of hubris in recent years...

Is Chronic Radiation an Effective Prophylaxis Against Cancer?;
www.jpands.org/vol9no1/chen.pdf
is worth a read on the possible (non) effects, though bear the cautions (the taiwanese not cooperating, not full data) in mind.
