Super Sidekick File
Name: ManMan
Origin: WomanMan’s former research partner who was also bitten by the same radioactive lab assistant and became ManMan.
Powers: He’s pretty crap really but takes all the credit for WomanMan’s successes. He not only mansplains as well as WomanMan but constantly talks over the victims, villains & police. He does have a superpower being able to emit a hypersonic stream of urine that can cut steel, but we don’t know how effective this is as he’s yet to hit his target.

Origin: Originally a research scientist in Field Marshal Britain’s nuclear research facility until the day when fighting a reactor meltdown she was badly gummed by a dying radioactive male lab assistant turning her into WomanMan.
Powers: The powers of a man including massive overconfidence and when the villains try to launch into long explanations of their plans she mansplains all the flaws so they just give up and surrender.
Weaknesses: Fails to admit her limits.

Affiliates: ManMan, Field Marshal Britain
Name: Field Marshal Britain
Origin: Originally a super fan of Bernard Montgomery, independently wealthy Frederick Matthew Britain was injured by a runaway horse at the Trooping of the Colours and taken to hospital in a coma.
When he awoke he saw F. M. Britain on the bed’s whiteboard and decided he must be Field Marshal Britain, superb organiser.
Nothing since has managed to shake this belief.
Powers: Since the accident he really has been a superb organiser.
Somehow he has convinced the government to release radioactive material to his “Secret” nuclear research laboratory.
Aims: To end all Britain’s and the other 15 Commonwealth Realms’ woes through the application of peaceful nuclear technology.
Weaknesses: Minimal attention to safety. Half the heroes in the Realms originated in accidents at his lab.
In 2015 I briefly did a joke about stupid superheroes, centred on Drunk Man, Woman Man + others at Field Marshal Britain‘s labs, loosely based on the style of the Marvel comics I devoured as a child in the 1960s.
Basically: Radiation + accident-> Super powers.
I revisited this joke in 2023-2024.
Now I’m doing an expanded set of Supers as memes.
Starts tomorrow.
Funny how flat Earthers never consider how global warming is already affecting polar ice caps.
What if it melted the ice wall and the oceans emptied into space?
Homo Ergaster (Workers) were a development of erectus who managed to put horniness aside long enough to do a day’s work.
After a few intermediates they became us.
Workers survived into the 21st century when neoliberal politics finally ended them.
They may survive in East Asia.
Homo Erectus (Randy Man) was the longest surviving human species.
Population pressures from its devotion to sex caused it to range from England to Korea but also stopped it innovating, making identical hand axes for nearly 2 million years.
Homo Habilis (Handy Man) was only around about 300,000 years but had time to invent scrapers, monogamy and, of necessity, the dildo.
