In honour of Canada Day, I decided to choose 5 Canadian Superheroes.
#5 Scott Pilgrim
This bass playing, video-gaming, vanquisher of evil exes lives in Toronto. He had to fight 7 evil exes of the woman he loves, Ramona Flowers.
#4 The Guardian
The Guardian (or Vindicator or Weapon Alpha) is leader of the Canadian Superhero team Alpha Flight. Can you get a more Canadian name than James “Mac” MacDonald Hudson, Jr.?
#3 Deadpool
Yes, in fact Deadpool is Canadian. His Marvel bio claims he was born in an “unrevealed location in Canada”. That is definitely good enough to grab a spot on my list.
#2 Captain Canuck
It’s Captain Canuck. ‘Nuff said.
#1 Wolverine
You know that the old Canucklehead had to be #1. Wolverine is one of Marvel’s most popular characters, and proudly he is our Canadian X-Man.
Why is Puck not on this list?
Once again, Lethargic Lad comes in 6th.
No girls? Tsk tsk.
I couldn’t think of any besides Nelvana. There seems to be a real void of female Canadian superheroes.
Not even Vindicator?
He is #4
Ooops… I knew the Guardian was Vindicator, I didn’t realize Heather became Vindicator as well.
Cant wait to see the movie about Dead Pool! that would be the Sh*t. That’s a movie that you know you don’t wanna miss. Get these group of guys on a hockey team PRONTO.
I was just looking at The Guardian image and I am wondering if I could use this image for educational purpose?
