What IF philosophers were actually superheroes?

Inspired by fellow Gulchian's comments about super heroes, I think it's time to present an idea about bringing philosophy back into the general public discourse.

Each superhero will represent a philosopher and do battle with their respective opponent.

A-Man vs. Platord = Platord is able to conjure forms and infects a mass of humans with a horrific eye disease that blinds them and causes hallucinations. A-Man fights Platord but Platord has an army of zealous followers that argue about tableness in tables, for example, and this causes LingoZombies to rise from the ground.

Aqua-Man vs. Steensteen = Steensteen lives in a castle and aqua-man in a cabin. Steensteen breathes fire like a dragon and Aqua-Man puts it out like a water bender.

HeOM vs. Locksmith = HeOM has the ability to put anyone into a binding knot with his voice and lock it. Locksmith stuggles with his nemesis.

Freddy = A villainous, devious trickster who fights to subdue righteous heroes. He is friends with Loki.

Karlsbad = Teams up with K-Man (the most evil) to destroy the world. Karlsbad is not unlike Magneto, but has a later affinity toward Capital A

K-Man = The vilest of them all. He is known for escaping celestial prisons and wreaking havoc. He has the ability to undo his victim's brains visual apparatus so all they can see is upside down and mirror images. He terrifies his victims and is leader of the LingoZombies.

Capital A is the heroin of the story with many powers and abilities. She caries a razor that she can use to slash HeOM's knots, cut through Platord's tableness zealots, and slay LingoZombies.

The story begins when Capital A takes on Freddy, Karlsbad, and K-Man to restore vision to those whom this disastrous trio conspired to enslave.

I realize this sounds ridiculous, but if you like it, add to it.
