Who Are the Writers?
This is a blog created by a person with too much time on his hands and too much love for geeky hobbies. We love movies, games, comics, books, arranging things into Top 10’s, ranting and other geeky passtimes, and we love being able to share those hobbies with anyone who’d care to listen (and those who don’t care)! Each contributor is here simply because of our passion for the material – feel free to browse our writings, leave a comment and subscribe so you don’t miss the next self-righteous rambling about whether Superman or Batman would win in a fight!
FYI, the answer is Batman. Always Batman.

LEGENDARYSUIT
Random Fact: I actually have a degree in Criminal Justice
Essentially spider man doesn’t have a weakness, it isn’t ever explored in the movies, he can only get severely low on energy. So hence Spiderman is invincible as opposed to the other superheroes. Allowing him to win any fight.
