My favorite is dark, mysterious characters in trenchcoats. I think all superheros should wear trenchcoats. I mean, they're so useful! You can hide all kinds of good stuff under them. Gadgets, weaponry... trenchcoats are like utility belts for those with dark pasts.
Thespiphobia: (n) An irrational fear of actors.
From Greek: thespian (actor), phobos (fear). ANARCHY! ANARCHY! ANARCHY!
