The Unmitigated Gallbladder

He’s filled with bile, and ready to spew it on anyone who gets in his way: it’s the Unmitigated Gallbladder, hero to internal organs everywhere (especially digestive tract ones)! Yes, this brave bilious barnstormer will finally help us break things down, getting the good things out and getting rid of the crap! It’s the Unmitigated Gallbaldder: coming soon to a comics store near you!

(This is a joke version of what could make an excellent comics series to teach children how the human body works. Each internal organ could be a superhero character, and after we learn about what their powers are, they team up into something like The Justice League, but it’s a human body: The Just Us League.)

Here are some other organ hero character possibilities:

The Stupendous Stomach
The Spectacular Spleen
The Incredible Intestines
The Dynamic Duodenum
The Live Liver
The Brilliant Brain
The Loquacious Larynx
The Tensile Tongue
The Contagion Trapping Tonsils
The Devastating Diaphragm
The Incredible Immune System
The Amazing Anus

(Okay, maybe that last one could seem inappropriate, I suppose. But you cannot deny that without the anus, we would all be in a world of crap. And nobody wants that, I’m sure...)
