What hero would you really want to be? I've always envisioned a character called Blue Streak, a martial artist with flight and a little extra speed. Made him into a girl for the Hero League notes in The Last Hero On Earth. Almost twenty years since I had the physique for it....

You had a girl's physique? :)

> I've always envisioned a character called Blue Streak

Someone running naked in cold winter climates?

No, he was bitten by a radioactive Pict.

ok, so I tried the quiz, and came up with 90%. of course, you are the one that will eventually go insane or evil..

and I've never really wanted to be a hero.

I've always wanted to be either Superman or the Flash. Never could pick which one was cooler, flight or running real fast. I guess Supes does both, but even it always seems like he's taking someone else's claim to fame when he runs.

Toooooooooooom... some of us are aware of your Rocky Horror Muppet Show performance, what's this "no capes" bullshit?

As to what superhero, well, hm, lemmie think... Oh, that's right, I'm a supervillain! Next question?

(Actually, Solarbird was originally a Champions character with, as allowed under the rules, massive physical wings as a permanent part of her biological body and a secret identity, under the justification "very good tailor." ^_^ )

Considering Firedrake_Mor and I are ex-spouses, this is HIGH-LARIOUS.

I have the physique of a superhero... Bouncing Boy. /rimshot

Oh and furthermore... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I'm not THAT grim, am I?

For a major player, I'd go with being able to access, combine and filter any knowledge, memory or mental skill of anyone on the planet (perhaps with the psuedo-weakness of only being able to do so if the person in question was asleep, which could make for some interesting stories).

For a minor hero, maybe just enough telekinesis to fly and do Jedi Force tricks. I'd probably use it to beat traffic, do the housework, and get sodas out of the fridge without having to get up.

Alternatively, it'd be quite cool to be able to mentally visualise any point in space and time. I'd either be a back-office detective or continually 'helping police with their enquiries'. Of course, it would all start to go downhill once some group figured it out, tracked me down and took me into 'protective custody'. And I shudder to think of the archaeologists and historians who would bug me all the time...

One of the things that's always cropped up when thinking about superpowers is the context. If we're talking real-world, only-superpower-on-Earth stuff, then if it's used where anyone can see the results, sooner or later a whole bunch of governments are going to come knocking. Some of them with tanks and military-grade psychological threats. About the only way to get out of it is to already be under the wing of a world-class power (which personally, would suck for me), or to have secondary powers which would allow the original powers to be used without other people feeling they had to have a say in it.

On the other hand, if it's in the context of "there are lots of other super-powered individuals around", then it starts depending on whether it's a Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, or some other universe, and which one. Are supers ignored, accepted, revered, reviled, hunted? Does everyone have a power, or is it one in a million?

Drat, my team only saves the day 53% of the time. I guess that's what we get for using a nightclub as headquarters....

By the bye, have you been reading PS238? It's a great series that's been running for about 4 or 5 years (31 issues) on an elementary school for super hero/villian children.

The website PS238.com is running pages from past issues.

See you at Marcon

I always thought it would be fun to be someone like The Joker as a good guy, who uses his bizarre humorous sadistic skills to bring big evil people to justice. I mean, batman would beat up thugs and seriously bruise bullying bodyguards, the big corporate CEO who was dumping toxins into Gotham Bay? He'd grab him by the lapels and hand him over to the police. No muss, no fuss, and the highly priced team of lawyers would get the CEO out in record time. Now me, I'd torment the guy, drive him crazy, set him up so he would be _begging_ the judge to hand down the maximum penalty.

Actually had a chance to play such a superhero in a GURPS supers game once, was breaking down a cabal of powerful people with amusing, but disturbing, mind games. Unfortunately the GM called off the game after a couple of nights, saying I was freaking him out too much.

I've had several different superheroes in mind. One of them was functionally similar to Striker Z (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striker_Z), except he used armor which was the technological equivalent of Iron Man's - three or four generations ago.

Another one was based off of a small superpower set: sees in the dark, capable of random dimensional travel (see: Sliders), telepathy with a range of six feet, and able to learn things at an unbelievable rate. By the time I had him set up in my head, he was a martial artist using M. Bison's style, he had been a member of a research team that pioneered quantum magic (Quantum physics looks like magic in places anyhow, who'll notice the difference?), and he had a small collection of gadgets and widgets from different dimensions. The trick was figuring out which items and skills worked in a given dimension, a bit I stole from deCamp and Pratt's Incompleat Enchanter.

Take a good look at my username. I think that should answer your question.

I had a lot of trouble choosing a super-identity (though not as much as transcribing the results because the %*%# HTML won't fit into a reply).

It was a toss up between this, The Webmaster, The Electric Jew, Slightly Above Average Man, The Flaming Squid, The Trash Compactor, and Aunt Agoniste (that's more of a super-villain name, granted)

[lothie.livejournal.com]

The bright-eyed novice or sidekick

Yup, that's him.
