Are you a super-hero or a super-villan?

JBC · Post by **JBC** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 3:55 pm

I guess there is a reason we don't have powers like in video games and comic books. Some of us might do the world a favor and kill all the infidels.

I guess that would make me a super-villan. I'd probably conquer the planet and make people treat each other as equals.

Which would you be? And just for fun - what kinda powers do you wish for?

"kill the infidels" would get you into super heroes side, I guess.

Personally, I'd be Doctor Doom. Who needs democracy anyway, especially when you find out that it's secretly ruled by la li lu le lo.

Not sure what I'd be, but I'd kill to be able to turn invisible.

Lately I've been thinking that some superpersons are rather stupid by giving out their powers in their name. Even if you have no knowledge of the character, you can guess their powers pretty well if you just catch their name. Spider-Man? Invisible Woman? Human Torch? Bullseye?

If I ever start a superperson career, I'll be sure to name myself something completely unrelated to my powers or motivations. Maybe I'll call myself "Hammerstrike" and then catch my enemies off-guard by shooting lasers from my fingertips. They'll never see it coming. And I'd try to hide my true powers as well. Invisible Woman could have made everyone think she's just teleporting from place to place, or moving really really fast so you can't even see her.

Hm, maybe I'd be more suited for the supervillain role...

I think the only superpower I have right now is the ability to not go to the bathroom for 15 hours... It sometimes comes in handy.

Zweihander · Post by **Zweihander** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 6:45 pm

I'd be a villain, definitely. I'd probably be like Delacroix from Chaos Legion, with a "mankind has sinned long enough, time for everyone to die" attitude.

Hmmm... invisibility. So does this mean that light doesn't reflect off me and I do not absorb it: it just passes straight through as though I weren't there? What would I have to be like for that to be true?!
Or perhaps the light that does reflect from me is such that it is exactly like the light that would have been present had I not been there at all. Interesting. Again, what would I have to be like for that to be true?
For if I lose my ability to see and move around in becoming invisible, then it's not much use. I mean, if I'm going to become invisible, I want at least to be able to see some things I wouldn't ordinarily be able to see. If you know what I mean.

I think I have that too, except I can also go days without a shit. Great for long music festivals.

But I think being invisible or having super gaming skills would be sweet super powers.

I've the superability to keep slim despite ingesting obscene amounts of food and not moving.

I'd like the ability to see through women's clothing (only babes.) My superpower would automatically block anything not worthy.

professor ganson · Post by **professor ganson** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 7:40 pm

I guess if I had to pick one power it would be invulnerability, understood as the power to avoid having anything bad happen to me. I just wonder if the only way to have this power is to lack anything good in the first place. I suppose, anyway, that that's the most obvious way to be invulnerable in this sense: not to have anything valuable.

Specineff · Post by **Specineff** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 7:59 pm

I'd like to be like Hawkeye from the Avengers: incredible marksmanship and accuracy with any thrown of fire weapon.

Gambit's power and agility are desirable too.

So I'd be a superhero.

BUT if I had the choice to be a villain, I'd be Ghaleon from Lunar.

Big Boss from MG/MGS series.

Yeah,I'd be him.

Super phermonal power over women...

oh C'MON!!! You know you all wanted to say it!!!

JBC · Post by **JBC** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 10:37 pm

I would control electricity in all it's forms...

I would rule the world in less than a day. And i'd probably get a cool hat like Rayden.

adam76 · Post by **adam76** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 10:45 pm

Villain definately!

I'd like invisibility(for obvious reasons...) as well as Bullseye's marksmanship abilitys. Then i'd enter the World Darts Championship and watch all fall before me as i hit 9-dart finishes with my eyes closed. MUWHAHAHA!

Well, all evils gotta start somewhere.

I think I do already, but it's not the effect I hoped for. My body odour creates observable (repulsive) effects on both men and women!

LA LI LU LE LO! LA LI LU LE LO!

INVADE THE FORTRESS, OUTER HEAVEN!

Couldn't help it.

I'd be Batman, therefore, a super hero it is.

I'm pretty sure I'd end up being pretty much evil. I've always thought the whole "sarcastic despot" bit would be fun (think of Dogbert ruling the world, and you get the idea... Dispose of my enemies through various forms of bitter irony, that kind of thing (toss PETA activists to the lions and tell them they can go free if they can convince the lions to be vegan, dispatch gangs of knife-wielding thugs to disrupt gun control protests, that kind of thing.)

MadSteelDarkness · Post by **MadSteelDarkness** » Sat Sep 24, 2005 3:25 am

Definitely a super villain here. I feel that humanity (myself included) is a parasitic virus, and the faster it's eradicated, the better.

As far as powers go, I think teleportation would be my cup of tea. Man, do I hate to drive.

So that's me: Nightcrawler's super-evil brother....or something.
