Geek Superheroes

Note: The point of this post is in bold at the bottom if you dont wanna read the whole thing.
So I do this comic strip (kind of, I don't draw it very often because I'm a little short in the patience department)/story called The Adventures of the Geek Alliance. Basically, it started out as a satire of Batman and Robin with two skater-geeks called Schedule Book Boy and Tiny Kid who said "Dude" instead of "chum" and "Dude!" instead of "Holy french-speaking monkeys, Batman!", and fought preppies instead of crime.
Then it became something more serious, but still attempting to be at least a little funny. Now it's grown into what eventually (read: once I master Flash, which could be a while...) will be an online cartoon.
The various heroes (there are 9) are as follows (all based off someone I know):
Schedule Book Boy - mad skating skillz
Tiny Kid - l337 powers (Like the Force, but with l337)
The Kitten - The cat-girl who can also teleport for some reason
The Geek Avenger - Computer hardware wizard
Radar La Femme - Basically stays at the base and uses the equipment to decide what crime to fight and where
The Ubergamer - mad gaming skillz
Shadowolf - can travel through shadows, and when in a shadow has large amounts of physical strength.
The Burninator - Fire-girl. She burns stuff.
Clairevoyant - telekinesis and the ability to control fire, water, lightning, and ice.

So, so far this amounts to a long rant which Tal will tell me to "BLOG!!" . I have a point, really I do. Here it is in bold for you lazy folks who dont wanna read the whole post. If you were a geeky superhero, what would your pseudonym be, what powers would you have, and what would your catchphrase be?

Why does this make me feel so guilty?

Cool. I once did a cartoon but it was about cute little cuddely dogs - I was 5 or so so I guess yours is much better. When are we going to see it?

Are they based on people you know IRL or are they Dinker based?

3 of them are dinkers, and the rest I either know or have made the acquaintance of and thought "this person would make a funny superhero..."
Ubergamer is Tal, Shadowolf is SuperWolfman, and The Kitten is yours truly... those are the dinker-based ones.
As for ever actually seeing a *drawn* comic of it... you probably won't, my scanner is broken. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to use flash, and then upload them and feel sorry for everybody on dialup(including me... oi...)

I thought that game was only released in germany.
Tal, I haven't watched comedy central very late recently, so I don't know if they still play it. You can always check the website.

I thought it was flat-out cancelled until a few months ago. You can obtain it for free here. I dunno if it has every little bit of the game, but it is 400 megs. Heck, they even requested permission from the former developers to host the game, so there shouldn't be any legal garbage to fear.
