You'll Be Safe Here

I love this piece of art. I first saw it over on Wil Wheaton's bloggity-blog, and I immediately saved it for posting later. Alas, tonight I am cleaning up my desktop, so here we are. Please clickie to embiggen, as the phrase goes. It's well worth it. See how many characters you recognize! It's a fun game, and I'm completely stoked to see Stargate represented.The message matters to me, too. The idea of being one of the ones that "get it" and finding other like-minded folk just makes me smile. Of course, the fact that my favorite ninja turtle is right up front doesn't hurt my enjoyment of this one bit, either. *grin*



The ones I picked out without any research (and thus only those I'm pretty darn sure of): Green Lantern, Peter Pan, Rocketeer, Martian Manhunter, Godzilla, He-Man, Lion-O, Indiana Jones, Gizmo, Sherlock Holmes, Optimus Prime, Iron Man, Robocop, Power Ranger, Racer X, Batman, Hulk, Thor, Malcolm Reynolds, Spider-Man, Cat Woman, Superman, Supergirl, Superboy, Sue Richards, Reed Richards, Johnny Flame, The Thing, Harry Potter, Wesley Crusher/Sparks McGee, Jean-Luc Picard, Robin, Captain Planet, Voltron, Iron Giant, Gandalf, Daredevil, Link, Spock, Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Hawkeye, Captain America, Black Widow, Dr. Strange, Aquaman, Captain Britain, Mr Incredible, Hellboy, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Black Panther, Marty McFly, Ghostbuster, Jack O’Neill, Raphael, Doctor Who, Storm, Cyclops, Wolverine.

EDIT: Apparently, there's a guide. I checked it out. I got all but two of mine right. I missed a few that I knew that I simply didn't see in the background, and some, of course, I just flat didn't know, but that was fun!

We both I completely missed Mal! (Who was, admittedly, very teeny in the background.)

I might lament the absence of certain faves that I would think obvious, but that would be silly. And I'm giggling like mad that there are actually members of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the collection. (I survived adolescence because of the SCA and the LSH.)

I love the fact that there are actually half a dozen unidentified figures in the background. The possibilities are endless!

I squealed when I saw Mal! But yes, he is teeny.

And I'd like some absentees in there, too, but as you say, that's silly. No way the artist can fit in everyone! (Of course, in looking at it again, I'm suddenly twitchy about Luke in Star Wars clothing with a green lightsaber, so I completely understand having a few complaints. *grin*)

And maybe the unidentified ones are everyday heroes! ;)
