Who will be the next Bicycling Super-Hero?

I learned this morning that the Philadelphia Water Department for a short time had a super-hero mascot named Captain Sewer: the City's Official Grime Fighter. The Captain was used for educational campaigns about issues such as watersheds and water pollution, and would go to park clean-up events and so forth. Apparently he even had a team of 'Clean Water Raingers' to back him up.









So what do you think a Bicycling Super-Hero Mascot would look like? And who would his back-up team be?

The only biking super-hero I found is Sprocket-Man, a bicycling safety super-hero from the late 70's who makes sure people are safe and protects the city from bike thieves. The comic is actually really fun- read it here! (Thanks to A Practical Cyclist Blog for unearthing the history of Sprocket-Man).


Anyone have any other ideas?

Captian Sewer in the news. He used to come in costume to the BCP Century (seriously) with some 5 gallon containers of water. No one would ever fill their bottles, though.
