The Story Behind "Superstar":
So back in the days when Lardlad and I were conspiring to make folks think that we were the same person, Lardy forwarded me part of an e-mail from Lash where he'd sussed out my identity. One of the lines in it said something like: "EDE just kind of showed up and became a superstar". I thought it was so cool to be thought of as a "superstar" by Lash. So when Cobie and I were thinking of epithets for the statue, it just seemed obvious to kind of pass the title on to Future, so to speak.

Very cool! I love hearing about this infamous email from Lardy to fool Lash
I also thought superstar was a good name when EDE mentioned it, although for another quirky reason. For some reason, I couldn't get the image of an old DC house ad from the early 80's out of my head, with Firestorm on it, talking about 'rising superstars' in the DCU, and how for some reason I equated Future to being our Firestorm--new, but fits it perfectly with the previous bunch. Once the image was in my head, it stuck.
Maybe Future needs a Firestorm avatar? (Hell, I'll take one...Firestorm's first costume is one of the best superheroes ones of all time IMO).

I gotta run, but I just wanted to put the KP stamp of approval on this thread! Future's one of the greatest newer posters around, and certainly incredibly deserving of a statue (and I PROMISE to have more Transformers profiles up soon!)
Gotta go! See y'all later!

In his honor, I have written a crappy parody for Future of Santa Baby:
Future Baby
Future baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me I've been an awful good girl Future baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Future baby, an outer-space convertible too, light blue I'll wait up for you dear Future baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed Think poor Cobie, who I didn't kiss Next year I could be oh so good If you'd check off my “Goodie” list Boo doo bee doo
Future honey, I wanna yacht and really that's Not a lot I've been an angel all year Future baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Future cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed To a platinum mine Future cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Future baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks Sign your 'X' on the line Future baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and fill my special things With some decorations bought at Tiffany's I really do believe in you Let's see if you believe in me Boo doo bee doo
Future baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring I don't mean a phone Future baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight Hurry down the chimney tonight
(Spoken) Come get you cookies and milk
