Stretch Marks is a super hero with stretch marks. He is overweight, but he used to weigh a lot more, and he still has stretch marks from being fat. And he is OK with it.
The female version, 'Pregnancy Girl', still has her stretch marks from pregnancy. So really, the only powers they have are the
fact that they are comfortable with their bodies. A good lesson for today's kiddies.
And maybe they have eye lasers or something cool like that.
Much the same

I remember feminists calling for barbies to have a more realistic figure a while ago - and what should I find on google but a link back to the HB [fridge duck, Dec 13 2005]

There's a whole genre of mainstream superhero stories in which the hero is suddenly transformed into - gasp - a hideous fat person. [jutta, Dec 18 2005]

I believe there's a category for this kind of thing...the other:general category is reserved for high-ranking military officers. |

Somehow, in my fevered imagination, I was expecting a giant rubberised doll of Karl Marx, which would be used to evict noisy people from the British Library. |
|
| |
Yeah, what [moomintroll] said. :( |
|

I had in mind the missing 6th Marx brother who, instead of joining the family comedy troupe, went off to play basketball for the Freedonia Fireflys.... |

I really don't believe that toys of any kind are in themselves responsible for self-image problems. For every Barbie there is a Cabbage Patch doll, for every GI Joe there is a Mr. Potato Head. Children of all ages know that these are *toys* for goodness' sake! |
|
| |
That aside, neither of your two toys sounds like much fun to play with, so fishbone. |

Did Stalin conform to the ideas outlined in Das Kapital, or did he stretch Marx? |
|
| |
He contorted Marx to the most unconventional Engles. |

Stretch Marx...that actually makes me laugh. In the early 70's I spent several summer weeks as a camp counselor for youngsters in Julian, California. One of the other counselors that summer was Steven (IIRC) Marx, grandson of Zeppo Marx. He was certainly insightful and bright and a good camp counselor and might have been all of 5'10", but he didn't really distinguish himself until until we had a squad on squad basketball game. Thereafter, he became known as "Stretch" Marx for his remarkable layup shots and domination of the court that day. |

I haven't thought of "Stretch" in years, but I'm quite certain that he'd be amused to learn that yet another generation of Marx's were being nominated to superhero status, despite (or because of) their imperfections. |

The idea is complete crap, but it's the best laugh I've had in ages, so it gets a +. |
