NEW YORK -- Comic book fans will soon be getting their first glimpse at an unlikely new superhero -- a Muslim boy in a wheelchair with superpowers. The new superhero is the brainchild of a group of disabled young Americans and Syrians who were brought together last month in Damascus by the Open Hands Intiative, a non-profit organization founded by U.S. philanthropist and businessman Jay T. Snyder.

“If only he had been gay”
...and homeless with a cleft palate without health insurance.

and the muslim boy has a 7 year old girl sidekick of whom he’s married to, just like his prophet.
I guess his super villian nemisis will be a Jewish guy with a big nose whose secret identity is as a jewelry salesman in brooklyn.
Towel Boy?
What?!
Faster than a speeding thrown stone,
More powerful than an IED,
Able to leap Afghan poppy fields in a single bound...
Always seeking Death, Sharia, and the Caliphate Way...
It’s Bomb Boy!!
Able to leap Afghan poppy fields 400-foot minarets in a single bound...
That works even better.
Well, this is improbable right off the bat.
I mean, where on a wheelchair do you put the explosives?
He has a smoking hot goat for a sidekick.
Superheroes always have weaknesses. For Superman, it is Kryptonite, for Batman, everything because he has no super powers, Green Lantern’s ring won’t work on the color yellow, for this guy it will be having to stop what he’s doing five times a day to pray.
Superheroes also tend to have triggering events that turn their powers on or off. The Human Torch would Flame On! Superman would step into a phone booth, Batman would slide down the Bat Pole to the Bat Cave and change into his costume on the way down. Thor would slam the end of his cane on the ground, and Hulk would get angry and turn change. Will this new superhero have his powers triggered by rage in the Muslim steet? Will his superpowers include exploding in buses and daycare centers?
Super heroes always have enemies. For Superman, Lex Luthor. For Batman, the Joker. The Fantastic Four had Doctor Doom, and The Flash had Doctor Zoom. Who will this new superheroes nemesis be? The Zionist? The Great Satan? The Evil Bush?
Stay tuned, folks!
Whats his super power? Able to smuggle explosives in the hidden compartment of his wheel chair?
He tried that already and blew his legs off.
That said, it's a brilliant guilt trip for guilt-loving liberals.
Our side should come up with a conservative comic based on an abused white middle class boy ( abused by his 'looking for their inner child, self absorbed liberal parents) and his 'child raped' ( raped by a liberal when she was young) girlfriend.
I wonder if the MSM would 'catch' what was going down...
You know, I was reading this article this morning in my local newspaper and I commented to my wife how bummed I was that there weren’t any comments after it. I was even imagining what they might bee and chuckling a little. But everyone has really gone past what I was hoping for. Now I feel much better :)
BattlePope (seriously, there is such a comic book character).
