Electing Jim Gordon to step in as the new capeless caped crusader, the GCPD Batsuit compensates for a Batman who doesn’t have Bruce Wayne levels of combat training. Rocket Red just witnessed the entirety of the space-bound Justice League members and Supergirl fall before the highly adaptive android, but here’s some face-bullets for you anyway, courtesy of the USSR.Ĭrashing in during the aptly named “Batman: Superheavy” by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, this mechanized Batsuit is the GCPD’s answer to a Gotham without Batman.

When a barrage of missiles prove ineffective against a robot with literally every superpower ever, Red switches to his shoulder-mounted gatling gun (a powered armor must-have) to shoot the golden god right in the face while boosting away in retreat. Though the Rocket Red brigade primarily serve as peacekeepers for Russia, Rocket Red’s most shining moment would have to come during “The Return” from “Justice League Unlimited,” forming the second line of defense against the God-tier Amazo android. Likewise, some incarnations of the suit have had a mecha-sense, allowing Rocket Red to take control of other machines. The Rocket Red battle armor augments the wearer’s already enhanced physical abilities, in addition to granting them flight and plenty of ordinance. In her debut, the defeated Lady Stilt-Man sobs, as crafting a set of personalized Stilt-Man armor is easily hitting the rock bottom of super-villainy.įirst appearing in “Green Lantern Corps” #208 by Steve Englehart and Joe Staton, Rocket Red is a title given to any member of the Rocket Red Brigade, a group of super-enhanced Soviet heroes wearing a suit of battle armor originally designed by Kilowog. Lady Stilt-Man’s name is in homage to her hero, implying that she is unworthy of The Stilt-Man moniker.

Why does Lady Stilt-Man get the position over Stilt-Man? Because of that name! Lady Stilt-Man is the dumbest named thing ever, and we are well aware that Lady Mastermind, X-Treme and Paste Pot Pete exist. Unlike Stilt-Man, Lady Stilt-Man asked herself, “Why not put super-strong telescoping stilts… on my arms?” Thus, she developed a set of adaptive hydraulic extending arms that seem like an obvious addition in retrospect, not unlike adding pockets on the Snuggie 2.0.

Like her hero, Stilt-Man (yes, seriously), Lady Stilt-Man’s telescopic stilts give her the ability to temporarily propel herself into the air, as well as reach things that are, like, really high up.

Equipped with reinforced body armor, hydraulic stilts and the most ridiculous name ever, Lady Stilt-Man struts into your hearts in 'The Amazing Spider-Man' #611 by Joe Kelly and Eric Canete.
