There's no wood. There's no eraser. There's no smudging. Unfortunately, there's no cape, either.

But there's no way a mild-mannered carpenter's pencil can out-scribble the single graphite shaft of the Superpencil--or, at least, that's what the diabolical geniuses that devised this implement of construction would have you believe.

Superpencil_carbon_footprint_lead_graphite It's true, though. I colored in the entire outline of my carbon footprint (RIGHT) and barely a corner of it rubbed away.

It doesn't mar your fingers because it's made of graphite and nitrile rubber, whereas most pencils are made of graphite and kryptonite clay. That plasticky polymer also makes it water-resistant and flexible to nearly 90 degrees.

The jury's still out on how it compares to speeding bullets and powerful locomotives.
