Usage in Popular Superhero Culture
According to the chroniclers at Keeferman.net:
An interrobang is a form of punctuation. It's the best form really. Some say it's what gives Keeferman his power. It's a combination questionmark/exclamationpoint. These days it seems almost a secret. Keeferman is bringing it back though. All those sarcastic comments and facetious questions that you didn't know how to punctuate? They take the interrobang.
