At Superhero Clubhouse, No One Has to Know That You’re the Villain

It's Tuesday night and you're looking for trouble.  But it's raining, and frankly, your hair can't stand the humidity.  Luckily, there's a place online where you can go.  No, it's not the place where everyone knows your name, but it's the place where everyone can easily know your pseudonym.  That place is Superhero Clubhouse, and it's a way more fun version of Chat Roulette, created by the good folks over at bnter.  While bnter is all about preserving and sharing brilliant banter, Superhero Clubhouse is the place to be if you enjoy taking part in the creation of such witticisms.  Whether you take after Wonder Woman or Captain America, Superhero Clubhouse helps you create your very own superhero alias with an absurdly random handle (mine is Hypnagogic Asteroid, for example).  If you're stumped for a name, don't fret, as the site has a built in name generator that will conjure up the perfect alias at the touch of a button.  Once in a chat room, you can shake things up with an ice breaker, reveal your identity, or fly away to a room where you sense that your powers may be needed.

Conclusion

Overall, Superhero Clubhouse is a lot like the AOL chat rooms of yore, except gamified, and with much more room for creativity.  Whether you're looking to have a soul shattering philosophical conversation or become someone’s arch nemesis for an hour, Superhero Clubhouse infuses your typical chat room experience with improvisation and role play.  Best of all, you won't stumble upon the type of traumatic content that Chat Roulette was notorious for.  And for those of you who are more concerned with heroic pursuits in real life, there's always the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co.
