About my design

by polynothing   
There’s so many people from the past that could easily be turned into superheroes with a slight tweak of history! In this case, the Wright Brothers wield their powers of flight, Isaac Newton defies the laws gravity he discovered, Marie Currie uses radium to her advantage, while Benjamin Franklin uses his kite and key to create an electrical charge. Who needs super heroes, when you've got HISTORICAL SUPER HEROES. An inventive collaboration conceptualized by Frickinawesome, and finely executed by Joshua Kemble!

Ahopf: you have to vote first, then threadless decides whether or not to print it, based on the score/other factors!

Dude I love this shirt! But your design of Ben Franklin there is pretty similar to

The Escapist

polynothing
   polynothing on Jan 28 '10
Wow, that was totally unintentional, I actually added the key as a logo because he used a key on his kite :)

FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Jan 28 '10
Yeah, so much response to this design, thanks guys, so happy polynothing wanted to do this and did it so friggin well!



Einsteinic, the only thing similiar is a key on the chest of both characters, we could also change it to some kind of lightning bolt, but that would be a bit flash-y as well. lol, I don't think it'll be a problem.



Keep them votes a-comin, thanks again people!

This has to be my favorite design ever! I ve always thought it was more important to admire people who have brains more than those who have plastic surgery or somebody who can put a ball in a little hole with a golf club (not that that doesnt take talent)! Yeah, Id be the first one to buy this! (Marie Curie is spelled with one "r"). Love this idea! Dont forget Fermi, the guy who split the atom , he would make an awesome superhero!
