SUPERHEROIC FASHION (?) STATEMENTS

New York City, and Brooklyn in particular, is a place where people just love to wear superhero emblems and related images on their t-shirts. Usually it's some character that everybody recognizes, such as Superman, Batman, the Flash, or Green Lantern, but now and then you can separate the true geeks from the civilians when they sport the emblem of Professor Zoom (aka the Reverse Flash) or some other nugget of four color obscura. Here are four examples of t-shirts seen in my neighborhood and at the barbecue joint, so see if you can spot the true geek out of the lot.

  1. No idea who the geek is, but feel free to show more of the first Superman model.

    Yeah - I'll need to see a few more shots of theSupergirl model to figure out who the real nerd is - maybe a few shots from behind...

    Aren't the Superman colors reversed?

  4. I'm gonna go with the third one, since it looks like it might be you. However, I can't figure out what that modified superman logo is from...

  5. OK, now I know what the symbol is, and I'm pretty sure the 3rd pic is you. So, why aren't you wearing this one?
