At Comic Con 2009, I went on a quest to find the guys and girls with the best ideas. After being carried miles around the exhibit hall by the massive crowds and chatting with dozens of entrepreneurs, here are my favorites:

What was in at Comic Con 2009? Hot and powerful superheroines not leaving a lot to the imagination.

What wasn’t found at Comic Con 2009? Superheroines in burkas or without cleavage. Seriously. I looked and could only find pop icons who would fit right in at a sexy pajama party.

“Mom, you’re my hero.”

A phrase most moms have heard once or twice before kids figure out their mothers don’t actually have super human abilities.

Comic Con gave new fans a sneak peak at ABC’s quirky comedy, The Middle. It’s guaranteed to entertain entire families this fall and become one of the hottest, most talked about shows on television.

The Middle uses brutally honest humor to magnify everyday existence for people in middle America. Patricia Heaton is Frankie, your average Mid-West woman juggling work, family, and spanx.

The show comically and lightheartedly confronts topics you would only dare think about, yet never say out loud.

Cleary, life isn’t as perfect as it outwardly appears on other series, so ABC and Warner Brothers have teamed up for this fast paced, upbeat, and fun show.

The Middle is coming to ABC September 30th and will air Wednesdays at 8:30pm.

Comic-Con 2009 beams superheroines into the San Diego Convention Center to jump start the weekend.

They’re beautiful, they’re fantastic, some dress like us, and some not…

An amazing ensemble of Hollywood’s leading superheroines graced the audience with their sharp minds, humor, and an insider’s look at being a female who kicks butt in the entertainment industry.

Wonder Women: Female Power Icons in Pop Culture panelists included: Sigourney Weaver (Avatar), Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost), Zoe Saldana (Avatar), and Eliza Deshku (Dollhouse).

Watch these superheroines in action at Comic-Con:

Other panel highlights:

Sigourney Weaver: Hollywood “was not controlling women in Science Fiction, we just swept through.”  Women have made far more breakthroughs in Sci-Fi than other areas of pop culture.

Zoe Saldana: More minorities need to be cast as superheroes to change public stereotypes, “Have you ever met a superhero named Juan Gonzales?” We’re getting there (and way faster), but we still have a lot of ground to cover.

Elizabeth Mitchell: “I love what Sci-Fi can do for women, it allows you to be as sexual or non-sexual as you want to be.”

My personal favorite: “I think the sky is open. I don’t believe in the ceiling and if there is one we will KICK. OUR. WAY. OUT.”  -Sigourney Weaver
