Superheroes (album)



Superheroes is the fourth studio album by Racer X.

For the album artwork and its accompanying shows, the band dressed up as superhero characters. Paul became the Electric Bat, a Batman-esque character who wore a bundt cake pan on his back as a makeshift "jet-pack". Jeff became Motor Man, Juan became the X-Tinguishier, and Scott became Cowboy Axe.

The album was mixed by then-retired Racer X guitarist Bruce Bouillet, who was suffering from carpal tunnel and tendonitis and was unable to play guitar at the time.
