5) Spider Man (a.k.a. Peter Parker)

Everybody’s favorite and well-loved web-slinger boasts one of Marvel’s biggest rogue galleries. Bitten by a radio-active spider, he inherited the abilities of a super-arachnid such as agility, strength, speed, stamina, endurance, the ability to cling and crawl to most surfaces, and the capability to produce artificial webbings through a gadget (though portrayed as having the ability to produce real webbings from his wrists in the movies). Perhaps his best known ability is his “spider-sense” which is some sort of an early warning device whenever a foe or some sort of danger is near. He is known for his wise-cracking antics that could distract his opponents which would, at certain instances, eventually help him gain the upper hand and defeat them. Played by Tobey Maguire in the three Spider Man movies, and will be played by Andrew Garfield in the 2012 film reboot.

Allies: Black Cat, Wolverine, Daredevil, Iron Man, Venom, Human Torch

Enemies: Rhino, Kingpin, Lizard, Electro, Kraven, Tombstone, Juggernaut, Green Goblin, Mysterio, Dr. Octopus, Sandman

4) Hulk (a.k.a. Bruce Banner)

Who could ever forget the green behemoth that gets bigger and stronger every time he gets angry? Both famous in the comics and movies, the character has gained his own fans through the years. “Puny” (as his own alter-ego would call him) scientist Bruce Banner has been accidentally bombarded with gamma-rays, thus giving him unlimited strength, durability, accelerated healing factor, vast leaping ability and high resistance to mind control. He is famous for his lines “Hulk Smash” and “Hulk Bash” both in the comic books and movies. He is perhaps one of the most powerful super-heroes created. Played by Eric Bana and Edward Norton in the movies, and will be played by Mark Ruffalo in the 2012 Avengers film.

Allies: Wolverine, She Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, Doc Samson

Enemies: The Wendigo, Abomination, Leader, Absorbing Man, Bi-Beast, Juggernaut, Devastator, Dragon Man, Rhino

3) Gambit (a.k.a. Remy LeBeau)
The ragin’ cajun is perhaps one of my favorite X-Men because of his suaveness and his “hypnotic charm” ability which makes him a ladies’ man. Growin up in New Orleans as a thief, he became a thief first before becoming one of the members of Marvel’s famous team of mutants. He also has the ability to manipulate potential energy into kinetic energy, using a variety of objects (most preferrably through cards) and carries an extendable metal staff. He is perhaps famous for his relationship with his teammate Rogue. Played by Taylor Kitsch in the movie “X-men Origins: Wolverine”.

Allies: Wolverine, Rogue, Cyclops, Beast, Storm, Psylocke
Enemies: Mr. Sinister, Sabretooth, Mystique, Omega Red, Pyro

2) Juggernaut (a.k.a. Cain Marko)

One of the best things that I love about Marvel is that they could turn a villain into a hero (or in some cases, an anti-hero), and of them is Juggernaut. Empowered by the mystical Crimson Ruby of Cytorrak, Cain Marko was granted the power of the Juggernaut: superhuman strength, stamina, durability, healing factor and near-invulnerability. Formerly a perennial foe of the X-Men, he is now atoning for his past mistakes and is now one of the X-Men’s most valuable teammates. Played by Vinnie Jones in “X-Men: The Last Stand”.

Allies: Black Tom Cassidy, X-Men, She Hulk, Hulk

Enemies: Onslaught, Rage, Komodo, Mojo, Deadpool, Gideon

1) Wolverine (a.k.a. James Howlett)

Wolverine has always been my favorite among the Marvel characters, perhaps due to his mysterious origins and prowess in battle, as well as his conflicted persona: “he can become the ultimate killer, but has the courage and strength to overcome that side of him”. He’s gifted with the power of strength, animal-keen senses, stamina, durability and a healing factor. He is famous for his adamantium skeleton and claws. He’s been through a lot; stabbed, impaled, burned, crucified, but still lived to tell about it. He’s also been to outer space, other dimensions, hell, etc. For me, he is one of Marvel’s best created characters, and well-loved by many fans of the comic book hero. Played by Hugh Jackman in the X-Men films and “X-men Origins: Wolverine”.

Allies: Gambit, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Captain America, Domino, Rogue, Black Cat, Jubilee

Enemies: Omega Red, Silver Samurai, Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike, Deadpool, Reavers, Cyber, Shiva, Bloodscream, Chimera, Ogun, Epsilon Red, Donald Pierce

Here are some alternate pets to think about.

1. The Australian Bearded Dragon

Hailing originally from Australia but now the most captive bread pet Lizard. As Lizards go they are relatively easy to care for and can be very quirky and quite loving. My Lizard used to run around the living room quite happily and would even come and sit on my shoulder to watch TV with me!

More information on Bearded Dragons can be found on The Lizard Lounge

2. Ferrets

These long rodents are a pure joy. They are extremely inquisitive and mischievous but the most fun. I would advise getting two as they like each others company. Also they get a little stinky to make sure you have a place for their cage away from the kitchen and living area.

3. A Pot Bellied Pig

Pigs are one of the most intelligent animals that you can find. A pot bellied pig will easily give you as much love as a dog and will probably learn more tricks if taught correctly. These animals are a pure joy to be around.

4. Lovebirds

These little tiny birds live in pairs most of the time. Sadly if they lose their partners they often pass away too but their devotion can often be towards their owners too. If you get the birds young and handle them often they will be devoted to you forever.

1. Watch your alcohol intake and don’t mix drinks, staying alert is essential to surviving the office party.
2. Don’t talk to any managerial staff. A little alcohol makes the lips slippery and you may say the wrong thing.
3. Even if Angela or Ted from Human Resources looks super hot… don’t slip away and have a light of drunken lust.
4. Leave early to avoid getting involved in any fights or office drama
5. Make sure that any clients you see are given full courtesy. I know that one of my old companies lost clients that came to an Xmas party and were disgusted with the staffs behavior! Don’t let that be your fault!
6. Don’t be too late the next day. Dealing with a hangover the next day is acceptable, not comin in or being really late is not!
7. Don’t come in a tracksuit. Dress smart and sharp, even if it isn’t your normal attire. You will blend in and go unnoticed.

The key is to stay covert, enjoy a few drinks, have some good times with your co worker friends and get to work feeling ok the next day. Do all this and you should be safe!

#3) The Transformers (1984)

Image credit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Transformers_%28TV_series%29

Who could ever forget the Autobots and Decepticons waging a war on Earth with Optimus Prime exclaiming the memorable line “At the end of this day, one shall stand, and one shall fall!”. I remember watching this with my sister which also influenced her to collect some of their toys/merchandise. The original series gave birth to various cartoon spin-offs and sequels like “Transformers: Cybertron”, “Transformers: Beast Wars” and “Transformers: Beast Machines”, among others.

What I Liked Most About The Series: The unforgettable giant robots fighting for supremacy over the Earth…. and the toys!;)

#2) The Uncanny X-Men (1992)

Image credit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Transformers_%28TV_series%29

After the robots, I turned my attention to the cartoon superheroes who’ve added some more fun with my breakfast of cookies and oatmeals as a kid. For me, the best among these shows is the Uncanny X-Men, as it showcased some of Marvel’s famous mutants (heroes and villains alike) such as Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey (Phoenix), Magneto, Rogue, Gambit, Mystique, Juggernaut, among others. I liked how the series blended adventure and love stories, staying true to its comic book origins.

What I Liked Most About The Series: The good and evil mutants fighting for their cause, with the good guys protecting humankind from the bad guys, all the while getting ridiculed and rejected by the humans because of their powers. Always great to see the love triangle going on between Wolverine, Jean Grey and Cyclops.

#1) Justice League (2001) And Justice League Unlimited (2004)

Image credit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_League_%28TV_series%29

In the same tradition of the Uncanny X-Men animated series, the show tells the stories and adventures of the various DC Comics superheroes as a team. The unforgettable faces in the show includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, the Flash and Hawkgirl, as well as the many heroes (and villains) in the DC Universe.

What I Liked Most About The Series: The fight sequences in the series are fun to look at as they land solid hits on their opponents. I’ve always like the episode “For the Man Who Has Everything” in Justice League Unlimited, where Superman has been incapacitated by the super-strong alien Mongul, with only Batman and Wonder Woman left to fight the villain. This episode was adapted from a famous story in DC comics “Superman Annual#11″ created in 1985. It’s always great to see your comic book stories come to life in the television!

2.    Does he call you at 11:00pm at night asking you whether he can come over to your house to talk?  And when you let him come over, he finds a way to get you to your bedroom for a quickie and then he finds a good reason to leave before the sun comes up?

3.    When he introduces you to his friends does he simply tell them that you are “a friend”, when in your mind you think that you aught to be more than just a friend to him?

4.    Does he try his best to avoid introducing you to his family members?  When you talk to him about meeting his family does he come up with excuses like, “My parents are very religious and only want me to introduce them to a woman only when I am ready to marry.”

5.    Does he seem to avoid you during the weekdays and has a way of finding his way to your home only when he wants to make love to you?

6.    When you call him, does he always want to return your call at his convenience?

7.    Does he give you silly reasons why you cannot come to his house?  Does he tell you he is looking for a house and that he is currently living with his parents or his friends, and is not comfortable inviting you over?  If he avoids the idea of showing you where he lives, then there is a strong possibility that he may be involved with another woman — may be even married, with kids.

8.    When you see him at a club or bar with another woman he is quick to tell you that you that the other woman is a just a friend or even a relative.

9.    Does he take personal calls on his cell phone by going outside or walking away from you?  Or perhaps his cell phone never rings when he is with you — it just simply vibrates and he glances at it to see if he should take the call — a sneaky sign that he may be avoiding taking a call from his significant other.

10.    Does he seem to avoid talking about dating you exclusively?  When you bring up the subject he starts telling you that you should not spoil a good thing by getting too serious.
If you man is constantly telling you any of these things, then you should do your very best to pull out of the relationship.  The truth is that, any man that will do any of these things does not really want you as their girl.  Move on and find a man that will respect and value you more.

The post 10 Clues He is Not the Man You Should Be Dating appeared first on List Lunatic.

In no particular order:

1. Michael Jordan – Arguably the greatest NBA player to hit the floor. Michael Jordan defied gravity, I mean, there is a reason why he was nicknamed “Air.” If he didn’t retire a couple of times, he would be the all-time scoring leader, hands down!

He was unstoppable. He took his team to win six NBA finals games, he broke records like it was nothing and he made his teammates look good too!

Also, you have to remember that Jordan played various sports in addition to basketball. Some sports that include baseball, football and golf, which I heard he was pretty good.

2. Bo Jackson – Bo knows this! And Bo knows that! Lol… if anyone got my old school song intro, thanks! But look, Bo played baseball, football and track and field. In college, he batted over .400, he qualified for the 60-yard dash and he freakin’ won the Heisman trophy!

Bo also played pro baseball and football in the same season! He also managed to be an MVP All-Star as well as make the Pro Bowl. That’s pretty damn good if you ask me!

3. Deion Sanders – Deion “Prime Time” Sanders is the only athletic to appear in the World Series as well as the Super Bowl. Matter of fact, he’s the only athletic to score a touchdown and hit a homerun in the same week!

Wait, there’s more… currently, he is the only NFL player to score a touchdown off a kickoff return, punt return, interception, fumble, reception and rushing in a career.

Yup, only played to do that.

4. Jim Brown – Arguably the best football player… ever. And get this, Brown only played nine seasons to break all those football records. (Emmitt Smith broke them but it took him a lot longer)

5. Muhammad Ali – Yup, Ali was the “Greatest.” Ask anyone that knows anything about boxing and I bet you they’re mention Muhammad Ali. He could beat you physically and mentally. He would even have more fights and wins if he wasn’t held back from fighting for three years in the prime of his career for refusing to be inducted into the U.S. Army.

Hey, I got a poster of him on my wall. And he had some great lines too!

6. Tiger Woods – If you don’t think golfers are athletics, well, think again. Tiger will probably break every single golf record there ever was and have you ever seen this guy train? Or play any other sports? The man hangs with Michael Jordan and plays against him! That’s got to tell you something!

7. Jesse Owens – A track and field superstar who once broke records for a 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 220 yard hurdle and long jump in less than 45 minutes! Less than 45 minutes man! He also won four gold medals in the 1935 Berlin Olympics alone.

8. Jackie Robinson – The man who broke the race barrier in MLB did it because he was just a great athletic with talents that race couldn’t even stop. He broke records, made his spot in history, and if you can manage to do all that then you should be considered a top athletic of all-time!

9. Wilt Chamberlain – I was just going to say, “Hey, the man scored 100 points in a single NBA game” but there’s a lot more than people don’t know about Wilt Chamberlain. He was known for basketball but did you know he received professional offers for volleyball, marathons, boxing, football and track and field? Yup, he did!

10. Jim Thorpe – Honestly, I don’t even have to go into details with Thorpe. If you look him up, he’s probably on every top athletics lists of all-time. His resume speaks for itself. I mean, the man won gold in the pentathlon, decathlon, he played in MLB, he played pro football and the list goes on!

Honorable mentions: Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, Wayne Gretzky, Michael Phelps

5. Kit Kat

Four fingers of wavers covered in an awesome layer of chocolate. Only at number 5 because I miss the old foil packaging! Recent additions to the range have included the awesome Chunky Kit Kat, white chocolate and a range of luxury flavors.

4. Dairy Milk

photo credit: sudeep1106

Nothing beats Dairy Milk for simplicity. A whole bar of chunky Cadbury’s chocolate. The Belgium’s tried to stop Cadbury’s calling their product chocolate once (I don’t have a source to prove this)…. However I don’t care what it is called, I love it!

3. Toffee Crisp

photo credit: Lord Manley

I have not had one of these for a while but the taste still lives with me. The bar is filled with Toffee and Rice Crispy like bits. One bite and you are hooked.

2. Twix

photo credit: Touzeen Hussain

Two fingers of chocolate / biscuit awesomeness. I really love the Twix Ice Cream too! Again another bar with a few variaties such as white and dark. I have fond memories of getting sick from eating too many party sized Twiz bars as a child!

1. Skor Bar / Dime Bar

I’m originally from the UK so when I came to North America it never crossed my mind that the candy bars would be different! For a start I call them chocolate bars by nature. So when I went shopping for a firm favorite….. Dime Bar and no one had heard of it I was shocked. Especially as I had always assumed the bar was American, due to it’s name.

I was heart broken…. But one lonely night on a late night binge I decided to try a new candy bar called a Skor….. To my delight it was identical to my Beloved Dime Bar. I felt like I had been reunited with a long lost friend.

Skor Bar conatins a thin layer or crunchy toffee that has been dipped in fantastic Hershey chocolate. It’s bite produces a perfect crunch and then you have fun getting the toffee out of your teeth.

A hard choice but a good strong winner

The post The Top 5 Best Candy Bars Ever! appeared first on List Lunatic.

My list (no particular order):

1. Canibus – Probably one of the sickest lyricists out there and his freestyling ability is off the chart. He may have fell off due to the battle he had with LL Cool J years back but let’s face it, LL Cool J had someone ghostwrite his lyrics anyways. Besides, just because someone gets beaten in a battle doesn’t mean they’re bad. For instance, Jay-Z got ripped by Nas but it doesn’t mean Jay-Z isn’t a good rapper.

2. Big L – The late, great underground emcee was one of the best freestyle rappers out there. He was overlooked by some but you can’t deny his ability to freestyle off the top of his head. I’m not the only one who thought this but he was better at freestyling than writing songs and hits. It’s the truth and you guys know it!

3. Eminem – Yes, believe it or not but Eminem is a good freestyle rapper and he came up as a battle rapper so that’s a dangerous mix. Before he started doing goofy songs and semi-singing, he was freestyle battling his way up to stardom.

4. Jin – He’s probably best known as Jin from Freestyle Friday on BET’s 106 & Park show but this underrated Asian rapper rips emcees with his freestyle battle raps better than anyone out there. I wouldn’t go with the Asian jokes either because he’ll just flip the script and use it against you.

5. KRS-One – One of the originators, KRS-One never made it big but his freestyling and battling made him one of the greatest emcees of all-time. His punch lines would just have you thinking like “damn, that’s sick!”

6. Jay-Z – Yup, the Hawaiian shirt wearing Jay-Z was once a freestyler like would rip most people. Matter of fact, he still is! I mean, he basically freestyles his entire songs anyways because he spits it all on one take. If that isn’t skill, I don’t know what is! Look at all his platinum albums!

7. Snoop Dogg- Before he was spittin’ that mellow style, he was rippin’ and flippin’ it. He came up on gangsta rap and he is one of the best freestyle rappers on the west coast! Don’t get that doggystyle twisted, I bet he’ll rip most rappers out there in a freestyle battle now.

8. Notorius B.I.G. – Not only does he fight for the crown of greatest rapper of all-time but if you never heard Biggie freestyle, well, you’re missing out. The late, great rapper takes his distinct flow from his songs and he does the same with freestyling.

9 .Immortal Technique – One of the best underground rappers and one of the best political rappers out there now, Technique mixes crazy knowledge with punch lines and sticks it all into his rhymes. Believe me, he won’t sell out and go commercial and he’ll still be one of the sickest emcees underground… EVER!

10. Lil’ Wayne – I know, I know, most people think he’s too commercial now but if you ever listened to his underground mixtapes, he freestyled most, if not, all of that. Even when he was with the Hot Boyz, he was the lone star holding that group up, then he went solo and took over the rap industry.

Those are my picks and I’m sure it was different 5-10 years ago and I’m sure it’ll be different next year, but right now, those are my top 10 best freestyle rappers.

As we don’t have the instinct or knowledge to know when we should go to sleep here is a list of signs to look out for to know that the time has come:

1. The Squirrels are frantic

photo credit: mandj98

When the squirrels are getting ready for the big sleep they literally go nuts…. frantically running and burrying and hiding from us big giants. They need to get all theri nuts burried before they go for the winter

2. You are getting fat

photo credit: themissiah

A summer of BBQ’s and Beer could be put down to you just having a good time. But it’s a great indicator that your body is getting itself ready for a winter of very little food. If you can’t see your privates, it’s probably the right time.

3. There is no more green

photo credit: donbuciak

I don’t mean you have run out of cash…. although that may be a good time to sleep. I mean that the trees are all hues of brown and they green leaves are no where to be seen.

4. It’s dark when you get to the pub

photo credit: Vox Efx

It’s just not fair that you finish work, run home and take a shower. Then rush to the pub to meet some friends and it’s pitch black!! We should not have to be awake through such dark days.

5. Walmart is selling Christmas Products

photo credit: bluebus

There is nothing more depressing than seeing the tack that Walmart start filling their shelfs with early in the Autumn… take the hint and prepare for sleep

6. You are getting Halloween Party Invites

photo credit: sparr0

Halloween can be great fun but imagine how much better it would be to just wake up when all the wet and cold is over. The day that first invite is pushed your way is the day you know you can safely get down to hibernating.

Let us know if you can think of any other indicators!
