The Legendary Stan Lee has joined forces with the NHL to conger up an all new comic superhero squad like no other, the Guardian Project. Every NHL team is represented by a specific franchise hero for the purpose of being shown off at the all star game this year. An interesting and fun concept where fans can vote as to who they want to see first via facebook. And, although I was both a much bigger comic book fan and NHL fan in my younger years I found these characters to be humorous and somewhat interesting. Lets take a look at a few of the NHL Guardians.
The Canadien. Legendary protector of Québec. Controls power absorption and magnification. Abilities: Power Augmentation, Power Absorption, Blasters, Super Suit, Jet Propulsion
Will he will use his super powers of non logic to separate from Canada?
The Red Wing. Automotive Empath of the Motor City. All the power of a formula one racer and an F-14.
Abilities: Mechanical Technopathy, Laser Canons, Flight, All Terrain Wheels
Poor quality parts make no difference with his special billion dollar bail out powers!
The Flame. Controls the element of fire. Flaming eye blasts, lava balls from his fingers and can even creat a flaming stampede. Abilities: Heat Vision, Fire Resistace, Flight, Flaming Stampede, Pyro-Technics
Proud of his lifestyle choice, the Flamer should really stop melting the ice. Maybe Calgary would win a few more games that way?
The Capital.The winged crusader of the nation’s capital. A shape shifter who controls a sonic scream and telescopic sight. Abilities: Satellitic Sight, Atmospheric Resistance, Sonic Scream, Flight, Shapeshifting
As a national symbol of the USA, this is one of the stupidest looking characters. " At least I don't look like a fucking beaver"!
Of course there are many, many other super powered NHL heros to be seen, but you get the picture with those ones I am sure.Please visit http://www.guardianproject30.com/ for more details and enjoy your favorite NHL guardian!

No Oiler? Fail.
Honestly though, I was let down a bit by this. I can't go through with the fanboy Marvel copycat reasons…. rather the premise of "powers." If they would have gone carefully to consider the reality of the players being humans, and not over-the-top, it would have worked better…. at least in hindsight. Seriously, the Anaheim Duck's character has magical financial powers? Retarded.
Some of the characters were fun though. I sincerely enjoyed the premise. So kudos for the anticipation of the revealing of characters. It's too bad much of it felt rushed or lazy when all is said and done. Regardless, I still love my hockey and my Stan Lee. 'Nuff said.
That’s the best aswenr of all time! JMHO

Yeah, considering it was Stan Lee , I have to say I was disappointed with this. Its cool that the NHL is trying new things and I have big respect for Stan Lee, but some of the powers and abilities are just silly with this guardian project.
Thats why I made my own bios in the screen caps, they are just as silly as the real ones are IMO
[…] I watched the NHL All-Star Game also on Sunday. It was fucking pre-empted by curling. Yes, that retarded sport that is basically shuffleboard on ice… weak. Almost as weak as the silliness surrounding the NHL/Marvel Guardian Project…. […]
This is exactly what I was thinking and i'm looking for more at google
