Albuquerque, NM- The demise of the controversial superhero group The Ex-Men (not to be confused with the X-Men) was reported Thursday afternoon. Authorities are considering it a hate crime.

The Ex-Men’s meteoric rise to fame after defeating such supervillains as the The Clinic Bombers, the Prissy Picketers and the Those People Who Stand Outside of Sporting Events, Concerts and Abortion Clinics With Hate-Mongering Signs, was quickly overshadowed by society’s scorn over their hyper-sexuality.

The group consisted of Lucid Lips, known for the ‘kiss of death’, the ability to fling her lips at foes up to three miles away; Chest-icals; Hairy Legs, known for her unwillingness to shave her porcupine-like legs; and Booty-licious.

While authorities consider it to be a hate crime, some members of the superhero community, including close friend Shower Girl believe that this is the work of the Ex-Men’s nefarious arch-enemies, the She-Men.

Funeral services will be Saturday afternoon at First Unitarian Church.
