San Francisco is getting a new group of residents - the X-Men. According to Marvel Comics, the mutant group of superheroes are moving from their pad in Westchester County, NY for San Francisco. Specifically, they will be dwelling in a series of concrete bunkers in the Marin Headlands, provided of course they can qualify for the super-loan and can keep it out of foreclosure.
I am a fan of the X-Men and think this it is awesome they are heading west. All the cool superheroes live back east - even the fictitious cities of Gotham and Metropolis are New York-ish in style and mood - leaving us left coasters defenseless. Who protects us against the baddies in bulging tights and Pantone colors? Cirque du Soleil? LAPD? They can only baton beat so many people at any given time. Hancock doesn't count because that's really Will Smith reprising his role as Will Smith. So coming to San Francisco give us our own group of badass heroes and just reinforces our position as a sanctuary city and as a place where the oddball can find home. Hooray for us.
Now in order to get into the spirit of San Francisco living, I fully expect to see Wolverine in assless chaps and a jock at the next Folsom Street Fair. Who's with me on that one?
