Cheap car insurance for superheroes
Do superheroes have car insurance? This is, for me, a deeply troubling question.
After all, although I have nothing but respect, awe and admiration for the work of various caped crusaders, I can’t help wondering whether they have the requisite cover. And, if they don’t, should they just stay indoors?
Over the years we’ve been exposed to all kinds of superhero vehicles. From the original Batmobile, from the 60s TV series, to the Tim Burton beast of the 90s, all the way to the demonic “Tumbler” of the Dark Knight. And we mustn’t forget the odd Robin motorbike along the way.
Then there’s all the others: the cat woman car; the Ghost Rider; the X-men Blackbird and the Fantastic Four Fantasicar.
Even Superman, despite being able to fly (perhaps it’s out of consideration to the comfort of passengers) had a Supermobile in a number of comics.
Then of course, there’s Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet. An invisible Jet? Good luck with the insurance cover for that.
And there’s the vexed question of whether these superheroes should be considered as young drivers. Yes, they’re all young, especially Robin, but many of them have been around for more than sixty years.
This is an area of the law that appears unclear. I demand clarity!
