Meet Scotsman, the Scottish Superhero Who Wears Pants and Underwear

Granted, he’s doing us all a favor by not flying above our heads with a kilt and no underwear beneath. But wearing the family tartan as a cape, “thistle missiles” or no, seems a bit non-traditional for such an apparent patriot, no?

[Eco Comics] has yet to reveal whether the Scottish hero will star in his own comic book or appear in its recently launched series, Englishman.

Whether Scotsman will be an ally or enemy of Englishman has also yet to be determined.

The publisher says: “Is Scotsman on the Yes or No side of the referendum? No to independence will certainly make him an ally of Englishman, but will Yes result in him being ally or enemy?”

The blog will also offer glimpses into Scotsman’s costume design, powers, and friends on foes.

“We don’t want to let the wildcat out of the bag, but it is clear that this hero truly embodies Scotland. Even his supporting cast will include world-famous Scottish legends, many appearing in comic book form for the first time.

“Whatever the outcome of the referendum, Scotsman will certainly be taken to heart by the public he protects, as the Scottish are clearly proud of their country and heritage.

“Poor Englishman on the other hand has to face ‘England’ being branded a dirty word and even his Prime Minister labelling Britain a ‘country’. Maybe this new Scottish super hero represents a lesson to be learnt during this historic juncture.”

The lesson being that superhero fans will buy anything with their flag on it? Hell, y’all are amateurs in that department. But at least you have somebody other than Shrek now.
