Spider-Man, I am convinced, is the poshest of all superheroes.The evidence is clear for all to see: He's the only one with a double-barrelled surname.
"Ah-ha!" I hear you say, "What about Superman? Surely he is posh as well, with his double-barelled name?"
"And that being?" I ask, finding myself suddenly cornered like a hamster in an arse.
"Kal-El, son of Jor-El."
"Yes, that's as maybe, but you are missing two factors."
"And what might that be?" you ask, the doubt hanging heavy on your voice like funbags on a Katie Price.
"Number one: Superman* is an illegal immigrant. And two: He is dead."
"You sick bastard."
"I thank you."
EDIT: I have already been asked: "Batman? Surely he's posh," by several people. With a name like that, he is clearly from the servant classes
*Also, he has a posher, yet less successful brother: Superbman

Knight from Knight and squire is landed Gentry. And how about the Doctor connection with the super types - a very middle class profession: Dr Strange, Dr Fate, Dr Banner, Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym
On the dark side - Dr Doom, Dr Silvana, Professor Zoom, Dr Curt Connors, Dr Octopus. But the champ has to be Man-Bat (double barrelled) and when he's off clocked off from a'screeching and a'flapping - by day he's Dr. Robert Kirkland "Kirk" Langstrom
What about Shotgun Mary, the warrior nun?
Absolutely-Splendid-Man and his sidekick Tickety-Boo-Boy
They can't be posh, any of them. The only posh one is Captain Adorable from Gigglebiz. The only one who gets everyone else to do his dirty work, and takes the credit. Posh people don't sort problems out, do they?
Or Superman's lesser known porn star brother: Spurmman
What about Excellent Man?
