Geocache Description:

The cache is at the posted coordinates but you must fulfill the requirements before finding this one.

Have you a favorite superhero? Ever dressed up as a character for Halloween? Here's your chance to relive that experience and be a superhero again.

Maybe you find yourself more of the evil mindset...if so, try THE CHALLENGE OF THE SUPER-VILLAINS (GC3HZAZ)

Here are the requirements:

1) Find 20 caches with a Superhero's name in the title. We will list some names below that will work but there can be others. Team names will work and common nicknames. The names must be correct and in sequence (i.e if you use GREEN LANTERN, the cache can't be named somthing like This lantern shines green by the light of the moon…). Example of a local cache that would work would be GC2Z4HY "FLASH me your pearly whites" or GC1YM52 "SPEEDY cache" among others...

2) Of those 20 finds, 10 must be Marvel heroes and 10 must be DC. (google or wikipedia will give you a complete list)

3) All previous and future finds will count in your total.

4) And just because this is a HERO cache, one of the twenty must be a non-traditional.



After these simple requirements, you can get this challenge cache. Make a bookmark and list the GC and cache name and his/her main hero they battle just for fun or add the list of caches to your log with the cache name, GC#, date found, and type of cache as identified below:

EX - After the FLASH mob (GC1HZB2) 4/4/2012 (traditional) .

Some DC SUPERHEROES: SUPERMAN, BATMAN, AQUAMAN, FLASH, WONDER WOMAN, MARTIAN MANHUNTER, GREEN LANTERN, GREEN ARROW, ROBIN, PLASTIC MAN, THE ATOM, HAWKGIRL, HAWKMAN, STEEL, SHAZAM (CAPTAIN MARVEL), BLACK CANARY, SUPERGIRL, and THE JUSTICE LEAGUE to name just a few.

Some Marvel HEROES: SPIDERMAN, HULK, WOLVERINE, X-MEN (X-MAN), XAVIER, THOR, CAPTAIN AMERICA, IRON MAN, DAREDEVIL, FANTASTIC FOUR, THING, WASP, ELEKTRA, BLADE, AVENGERS, COLOSSUS, NIGHTCRAWLER, SUB-MARINER, ROGUE, HAWKEYE, DR. STRANGE, BEAST are a few choices.
