Two New Fathers 4 Justice campaigners, Nigel Ace from Clevedon and Jeff Skinner from Staple Hill met Liam Fox MP at his surgery on Friday night in Pill.
The superhero's wanted to ask Mr. Fox for an equal parity of rights for dads to see their children and to make the 'secret' family courts 'open'.
The dads last month confronted Mr. Skinner's MP Roger 'The Dodger' Berry and got a frosty reception, however they were very heartened as Mr. Fox said that 50/50 status for dads was fair and only right.
He also agreed for the family courts to be brought in line with the crown and magistrates courts.
Nigel Ace, a protester from Harriet Harman's roof last year said "Why has it taken so long for common sense to prevail. Mr. Fox has brought common sense and a breath of fresh air into this debate".
"We can now look forward to having equal status, same as Mum's and this will stop many of the 100,000 new child contact dispute cases that come to court each year in the UK."
"Jeff and I have had over 60 court cases between us!!! Jeff fought for 8 years and me a meagre 2 1/2 years....but it looks like when the conservatives come to power, that cases like ours will be over"
"Once this happens, then we will hang up our superhero outfits and enjoy the time with our kids!!"

BATMAN, Superman, Captain America, and Spiderman joined forces for a protest in Southampton.
The “superheroes” from New Fathers 4 Justice hijacked the city’s old town walls near the Bargate in support of Chandler’s Ford dad Lee Moorman, 30, who is fighting for access to his child.
Motorists passing below honked their support while around half a dozen police gathered close by.
The protesters unfurled banners from the bridge over Castle Way and demanded equal rights for fathers over a megaphone.
Mr Moorman said he was having “sleepless nights” after last seeing his three-year old son in July. He said he wanted joint custody not a couple of hours access in a contact centre.
“I’ve got to go to the family courts which I’m told will be a lengthy process and cost a lot of money.”
Mr Moorman said he was planning a monthly support group in Southampton. He was joined by protester Mark Harris, 50, who said he needed 133 court hearings to win the right to see his children.
The former Shirley resident set fire to a wheelbarrow of the court papers he accumulated over his ten-year battle as a show of disgust for the “biased” family courts.
Mr Harris was one of the protesters who last year scaled the roof of deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman’s home while she and her husband were inside.

CAMPAIGNERS from New Fathers 4 Justice dressed up as superheroes to hijack Southampton's old town walls in noisy protest this afternoon. The protestors donned Batman, Superman, and Spiderman costumes and unfurled banners from the bridge near the city's historic Bargate demanding equal rights for dads over a megaphone. Shoppers and motorists passing below waved or honked in support while around half a dozen police gathered close by. The demonstration, which went off peacefully, was being held in support of Lee Moorman, 30, from Chandlers Ford, who is battling for equal contact with his son.
