When Comic Book Villains And Heroes Get Old

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Since superheroes are well, super, you don’t necessarily think of them losing any of their powers. And you most certainly don’t think of them as older people. Are they even people? I guess that’s a different subject entirely.

But what if superheroes succumbed to the perils of old age? What would they look like? How would they try to live?

Italian cartoonist Donald Soffritt imagines the later years of superheroes, with hilarious results.

Check them out after the jump.

We could debate this forever. If you get married, and it is for a very long time, you don't see the bald head and the pot belly

the same way some one much younger might. You see the person who was your hero in his time. Daredevil may need the dog

as a aid to see as the body will fail in time of course. But his reputation alone might stop someone from evil.He could always

use the dog as an attack dog. It might make the bad guy think twice?

Look- - - When Sean Connery was 007 he was a mature man, and we loved him. He could be 90 years old, and we would still

love him because of who he was, and still is. A good man, fighting the battle. But maybe mentally rather than in a physical

sense. The hero gives us everything he has when he has it. He lives forever young and sexy in our hearts. His reputation is

what we remember. Age does not matter. The memory of his goodness lives forever. How old is Superman? Goodness is

ageless.

Amazing. Just want to point out that Wolverine doesn't get old, he stopped aging a while ago.

Actually Logan does age. He continues to grow old, just at an EXTREMELY slow rate. Check out the comic series Old Man Logan

Probably because he's now also deaf, thereby wrecking his echo-location supah powah.

duh

Because he is old and has lost his hearing too

Dare Devil needs an eyeseeing dog because he lost his super hearing! Duh!

Aliasa

lol..correct

Erich

>>Very funny, though Daredevil isn’t right. He’s blind already, why does he need a seeing eye dog?

His hearing goes?

Yo

@Me: He's lost his hearing 'cause he's getting old maybe?

Also, wolverine doesn't age. :)

When you get old, your senses tend to dull. Since Daredevil relies on his senses of hearing and touch to get around, I would imagine having them dulled, would require him to find another way to get around. Why would you even care about that though? Lots of these are inconsistent with their abilities. Wonder Woman is an immortal modeled out of clay.
