Discontinued Superheroes

After reading the post involving the dojo of my younger days, my mother sent me an email titled "Uncanny Ability":

You've always had an uncanny ability to recognize people and places - years later and after many changes.

Hey, maybe I'm a mutant, like the Uncanny X-Men... albeit with a pretty lame power.

Wolverine: Why didn't you try to stop Juggernaut? He ran right by you!

Remember Man: What did you expect me to do? The dude walked through that concrete wall like it was paper.

Wolverine: You've gotta start finding ways to make use of your powers, bub.

Remember Man: I did! On his way out, Juggernaut crushed a man I went to preschool with. He was always a kind of weird looking kid. Big teeth. Bit the class hamster once.

Wolverine: Whatever.

For another seriously flawed superhero, this one currently active in Iraq, be sure to check out Cox & Forkum's latest cartoon.
