Typography-Inspired Superheroes That I Demand Exist

Not that there needs to be typography inspired superheroes, but I’d imagine at the very least that the people who put comic books together would get a kick out of them.

Heroism! Surprise? Yes, make way for... THE INTERROBANG!

And to a lesser extent, maybe also make way for...

Boldface

Strike-Through

The Full Stop

The Gothic Centurian

Interpunkt

The Arabian Star

Zero Width and The Non-Joiner

Bastarda

Drop Shadow

Solidus

Solidaryca

Lucida Grande

The Descender

Twip

The Prestige Elite

Boustrophedon

Grawlix and The Quimp

The Double Dagger

Mistral

The Pilcrow

That last one… I can’t really explain. I just think pilcrow is a neat word. (Image modified from Captain Marvel art found in a post on this nifty superhero Tumblr.)

EDIT: So the guys at The Bionic Broadcast actually thought through these and came up with what their superpowers might be. Check it out, and if you want to skip to this part, fast-forward to 31:20.
