the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Bibleman Powersource: Blasting the Big Gamemaster Bully’

It’s too small to see in this image, but along the bottom reads: “An Action Packed Dramatic Adventure Based on God’s Word.”

I could have gone my whole life without knowing this, but it turns out that Bibleman is a bona fide superhero, “a human transformed by the Word of God”:

Bibleman appeals to parents and children alike as the show seeks to encourage kids to have their own personal relationship with Jesus.

All the things kids know and love about Bibleman will be back, including a dedication to fighting injustice with the Word of God, more special effects than ever before, crafty villains and exciting story lines.

This widely acclaimed video series is also supported by a popular live-action stage show on the children’s ministry circuit, dress up Bibleman costume, Sword of Truth, action figures, video game, and Bibleman Biblezine.

(That’s all from the official Bibleman site.)
I’m not sure which is scarier, the idea of action figures, or Bibleman’s terrifying armor:

You’d think the awesome power of Jesus would extend to a touch of superhero satorial splendor.

Oh, there are other adventures!

Terminating the Toxic Tonic of Disrespect
Tuning Out the Unholy Hero
Crushing the Conspiracy of the Cheater
Lambasting the Legions of Laziness
In the Presence of Enemies

I bet Satan is an excellent supervillain.

Well that’s the problem, see. He’s already defeated five of my deadly sins. I was trying to come up with an evil plan to stop him using the sin of vanity but just LOOK at him!

Purple tights, with darker purple pads above the waist, Yellow plastic pads on his legs and forearms. Finish the combo with a matching purple cape and a big-ass fly for Jesus. This man _has_ no vanity! He’s even taunting me with those yellow horns on his helmet.

But mark my evil words! Gluttony will be his downfall! If Adam West couldn’t suck it in neither will Bibleman! Then his yellow nerf bat will be mine! MINE! BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
