Jewish Hero Corps

I was recently introduced to the Jewish Hero Corps, and they sound amazing. You should really just read this article to get a feel for them, there's no way I can do it justice myself. Then come back and vote on your favourite.

I am still undecided - I always thought Green Arrow was a bit lame, and Kipa Kid takes that to a whole new level of retarded, and then there's Shabbas Queen, whose powers are actually kinda cool, but hilariously limited (plus surely that just means all the crime would happen on Shabbat, thus forcing all the other members of the Corps to work extra hard?).

I think, however, Matzah Woman takes it for me. The world has a distinct lack of bread-based superheroes (unleavened or not) and, well, you've got to read her description to really appreciate her.

I don't like any of them (because I don't like heroes).

The only one I can think of is the Gingerbread Man.

Nope, you're not having him. Lily-livered runaway, cheeky with it, and thick to boot. Best part of the story's when he gets eaten.

Also I doughtn't think he really counts as being bread-based.

I honestly read that as "I doughnut think he really counts" which made me chuckle.

EDIT: Oh shit, that's clearly what you intended. Ah well, full marks to you. You've got a like.

As Hitler said, the only heroic Jew is a corps(e).
