FB Super Heroes Status Updates

After about two weeks when females started an interesting campaign by stating their bra color in their FB status, which was thought of as a campaign for growing breast cancer awareness, now it’s been noticed that male FB users are up to something. Tracking the pattern, they are updating the status with the names of Comic Super Heroes. The real reason is not disclosed yet and the source of origin remains unknown as was the case with FB bra color status updates. Is it that, there is some kind of Super Hero Meet happening soon? Or is this a cause for supporting Haiti? Who is behind all this? What is the motif? Who earns or get popularity remains a question unanswered.

Whatever, it seems that boys are enjoying updating their status. Many seem confident updating their status, some “go with the crowd” kind, and some making it real funny. Some are adding a list of super heroes to their status, some adding a single name. Some status seems telling the secrets but when pondered, keep people guessing. One was something like this: French Ironman followed by Spanish Wolverine (The idea of adding French and Spanish prior to the names keep people guessing, as Ironman is American Hero and Wolverine is Canadian). Yet another was: For me, Superman and Spiderman goes well with Iron Man. But its the Wolverine which is winning the race. (Is there some sort of comic series coming where all these are playing a part?)

It’s still not clear about the origin and the objective. Time will explain the reason behind this Super Heroes status update in Facebook. A prank? A cause campaign? Popularity De Anonymity? Or maybe it will remain a mystery for ages to come. Whatever be the reason preliminary observations is that people are loving to update their status with these Ten(10) super heroes:

Batman, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Superman, Robin, Daredevil, Wolverine, Captain America, Spiderman.

I leave you with a brief detail collected from Wikipedia with their images, so that if you come up with some idea please comment. Let us find out the real reason. We can’t always breathe our day clueless for these silly status updates.
