10 Superheroes The World Needs Right Now

Lonnie Lord is a popular singer who carries a guitar with him at all times because “he never knows when he’ll be called upon to sing.” Together with his gardener, Titus Twinkly, he fights crime wearing shabby tights, a cape and a ski mask.

Yes, Ratpfink and Boo Boo look incredibly silly, but they’re well-intentioned. Describing themselves as “Friends of those who have no friends, enemies of those who make them an enemy, champions of women and children everywhere”, the dynamic duo (who are in no way a poor man’s Batman and Robin) drive to crime scenes in a motorcycle with a sidecar, pausing at every junction and always obeying the speed limit.

It’s this kind of dignity (together with Boo Boo’s hat with bells and flashing lights) that gives the duo the edge over most other superheroes. While Batman and Iron Man gripe about the inordinate amount of collateral damage caused by their escapes, Ratpfink and Boo Boo have no such dilemma – most of their nemeses turn out to be bad actors in monkey costumes.
