Aside from having crazy powers, superheroes often have some of the most distinct vehicles on the road (or in the air/water). While you might not often encounter them filling-up at your local gas station, ride easier knowing that somewhere, superheroes are speeding around protecting the roads, skies and seas from evildoers.

Collected here are five of our favorite super-rides. They run the gamut from stellar cool to somewhat questionable. So give it a look and when you're finished, don't forget to chime in with comments on your own favorites. Enjoy.

Marvel's Mighty McBroodster, the Silver Surfer, uses his cosmic cool Surfboard to get around the vast and never ending universe. Did you know that, in addition to being telepathically linked to his surfboard, that the surfboard is made up of the same impervious substance as his own “Silver” skin? It's like that movie Twins — if Arnold Schwarzenegger were silver and was riding around the universe on his brother, Danny Devito. That's just weird.

Despite that, the surfboard comes in handy should SS need to club someone upside the head.

How PIMP can a guy dressed up as a bat be? Plenty. The Dark Knight rolls up on crime, with style in his Batmobile. This car has had many incarnations, most notably Tim Burton's version in the original Batman film, circa 1989 (that's Pre-Schumacher Bat-Nipple era kids!).

The nostalgia junkies, however, will almost invariably prefer the Mod-tastic George Barris designed Batmobile of 1966. I actually daydream from time-to-time, that I'm cruising around town, rockin' the hydraulics and stuntin' on bat dubs, with the bat theme pumpin' from the bat stereo making all the comic girls smile as I pass by.


I love me some Wonder Woman. Not really loving her mode of transportation. An Invisible Jet. What happens when she uses the rest room? Gross. How does she even see it? Does the plane run on Invisible gas? I'd be scared silly in my invisible seat, buckled in with my invisible belt, looking down at the invisible floor and seeing the faraway ground zipping by! (I hope the parachutes aren't invisible as well.) Hand me the invisible barf bag, cause Wonder Woman's Invisible Jet makes me visibly ill.

I thought this article needed some cowboys (because honestly, doesn't everything?), and what better cowboy to feature from the comics world than the Lone Ranger? He has style, he has pizazz, he has a Native American sidekick named “Tonto" (which means dumb ass in spanish) But this isn't about Lone Ranger. This is about his confidant, his companion, his main mode of transportation, Silver, his horse.

Silver's a good horse, happy with a few sugarcubes or some hay to munch on. I bet Lone Ranger tells him everything. His hopes, his dreams, his fears, his loves, his accomplishments, his regrets, how many bad guys he shot. I'm also willing to bet that Silver is a great listener, and will never tell Lone Ranger's secrets — even when faced with certain death.

Hi Ho Silver indeed.

Seahorses are pretty stupid. So is Aquaman. Together, he and his faithful seasteed make Ultimate Stupid. I don't think I have to say anymore on that.

So instead of telling you all about Aquaman's ride, I'll leave you with a few seahorse facts, and let you determine for yourself, whether or not, his aquatic ride is aquatically whack.

-Seahorses cannot curl their tails backwards.

-The average height of a full-grown sea horse is 2-8 inches.

-Seahorses change color to blend in with their surroundings.

-Seahorses like to swim in pairs linked by their tails.

-Seahorses usually mate under a full moon.

-Seahorses are loyal and mate for life.

-During mating, the Seahorses utter musical sounds.

-The female deposits eggs into the male’s small pouch, and then leaves.

And that's what I'm about to do, Leave! Hop in my JeauxMobile! Not so much... the uh... egg deposit... thing.
