This Can't Possibly Be Good

The NHL. The National Hockey League. The least serious of the ''four major sports leagues in North America''.

And Stan Lee. The out-dated comic book creator who came up with a bunch of superheroes in the 60s (Spider-man, Iron Man, The X-Men), all of whom learned that ''with great power comes great responsabilities'', give or take a thesaurus to slightly change the gimmick for each new character.

Have teamed up. To create a new series. Of 30 superheroes. One for each NHL city. Inspired by the teams' and cities' ''identities''. More Not that much info here.

Oh boy. I can smell it already...

Duck-man in Anaheim. Bird-man in Atlanta. Evil Loser-Leaf-man in Toronto. The Knight Ranger in New York. French Man in Montréal. Storm's brother Bolt in Tampa. Panther-man in Miami. Red Wheels in Detroit.

This is going to suck so bad.
