The Defenders

The other day, while sitting around, Eric drinking out of his Hulk pint glass and me drinking out of my Silver Surfer pint glass, I realized that we were consuming our beers out of two rather fitting members of Marvel Comics classic non-team of super heroes, the fearsome foursome known as the defenders... and not only that but there were four of us who lived here at 703 Sackett Street, Apt. 3. We each match up rather nicely with one of the members of this incredibly powerful superhero (non)team. Observe:

Eric as The Hulk

• Only emotion he knows is rage
• Resorts to smashing his problems in the face
• Well defined musculature

Randy as The Silver Surfer

• Abhors violence, unless absolutely necessary
• Prone to lamenting things like the way man defiles this beautiful planted called Earth or his lost love
• Can move at incredible speeds

Kathleen as Dr. Strange, Sorcerer Supreme

• Spends much of her time sifting through ancient manuscripts for arcane secrets
• Chants indecipherable incantations/harmonies
• Frequently travels to other realms (like England)

Kevin as Namor The Sub-Mariner

• Least powerful of the four
• Pointed ears
• Breath smells of the ocean
• Often at odds with The Hulk (Eric)
  

There are other comparisons that can be drawn, but you get the idea.
