The Bed List/The Dinner List

DH went with a friend to a sneak preview of Sin City this week. Amazing visuals, he says, but really violent. You know, your basic graphic novel. It got me thinking about comic books (this is a very weird brain I tote around), so I present to you the all-comic-book version of the Bed List/Dinner List!

BED LIST: PETER PARKER, aka SPIDER-MAN



Smart men just do it for me. Peter Parker is one smart man. If you've ever read the comic, you know that Peter invented the web-throwers and the web solution (he's a science genius) after being bitten by a radioactive spider. He also gains incredible balance, stamina, and speed. There's something to be said for his spider sense. He can anticipate what's happening before it does. Can you imagine how advantageous that would be beneath the sheets? Hmm. I feel something tingling!!

DINNER LIST: DR. CHARLES XAVIER



Even if all you know of the X-Men is how good Hugh Jackman and James Marsden look in black leather (baby!), you have to admit that Dr. Charles Xavier, better known as Professor X, is the brains behind the outfit. He's erudite, educated, and wise. He's the voice of reason in a time of madness--couldn't we all use some of that? He's the mastermind behind Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a place for exceptional young people to learn in addition to honing their mutant abilities. Hey, you wouldn't even have to speak--the man can read minds. All in all, a fabulous dinner companion.
