Home Improvement Superheroes

Doing home improvements can make you feel like a real-life superhero. Whether you’re saving the day with a complete renovation, or your heroics are restricted to putting up a shelf or painting the walls, the satisfaction from a job well done can leave you feeling superhuman. So we got to thinking, which famous superheroes would excel at DIY? We’ve taken the liberty of imagining if a group of some our favourite caped crime-fighters lived in the same house, whose powers would make them super at home improvement as well. See our series of graphics below to find out...

Deadpool - Curator of DIY Banter

Catwoman – Master Painter and Decorator

[caption id="attachment_6015" align="aligncenter" width="606"]Cat woman power tools With a background in breaking into houses Catwoman possesses feline-like agility, ensuring that she’d have no problem navigating around walls big or small. While her expertise with a whip could easily be translated to include a paint brush, that would give her the ability to decorate at rapid speeds. If that wasn’t enough, her PVC suit means she wouldn’t need to worry about overalls. Just make sure she doesn’t steal the brushes…[/caption]

Spider-Man – Amazing Wall Installations

[caption id="attachment_6020" align="aligncenter" width="606"]Imagine having someone in your home who can hang anything to a wall with a flick of the wrist… no nails required. The ability to cling to walls and a perfect balance and equilibrium are further traits that make Spider-Man perfect for this particular aspect of home improvement. We wonder if spider-senses extend to being able to tell when a picture is hung straight though… Imagine having someone in your home who can hang anything to a wall with a flick of the wrist… no nails required.

Iron Man – Invincible Electronics
