Description
Angloman, in reality Eaton M. McGill, insurance underwriter for Sunlife, is your typical everyday superhero... Bigger than life, a champion of bilingualism and tolerance, and dumber than a post. Angloman's secret weapons include his indestructible stop/arret shield, his deadly apostrophe darts and his supersonic angloplane. His secret base of operations is the Fortress of Two Solitudes, hidden deep below in the Sunlife Building. Angloman is joined by sidekick West-Island Lad, a typical 90's slacker and ally Poutinette, the cholesterol powered super heroine who takes on evil, infamy, and health food.
