Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker, The Algonquin Round Table wit famously said, "Men seldom makes passes at women with glasses." Attach a rider, then, for Spider-men. Yes, the attraction is magnetic, but let us also consider some of her other great lines. There was "If all the girls who attended the Harvard-Yale game were laid end-to-end, I wouldn't be surprised." When Harold Ross, the legendary first editor of The New Yorker tried to get angry at her for not writing a piece for them, she purred that she had come over, "but someone else was using the pencil."

She is very fond of old Marx Brothers movies (Harpo was another member of the Round Table) and loved the new Iron Man. Look out, Spidey!
