If you could be a SuperHero for one day, who would you be? Superman? Batman? The Hulk? Wonder Woman? Storm?

Realize this thread is completely useless

I'd be the Invisible Man. For some (not so obvious) reasons...

My son was recently Captain Fan-Fan-Fan-Fantastic in a school play of the same name. I'd be him.
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Yonkers can have better TV reception.

Wolverine - can't beat those claws, not to mention the ability to regenerate, etc. Opening tinned food would become a doddle...

First of all, for injecting sillyness! thank you!

Second, I'd make up my own superhero, with the following powers I had made up for other friends:

"Titanium skeleton" Timmy O�Toole, the more irish of the villagers (although ancestry has become quite a genetic mush free-for-all in the wastelands), besides affording him the ability to drink like Boris Yeltsin and still have hands as steady as a corpse, being irish hasn�t done much else for him...hmmm...where was I? Oh, his "secret" power. Timmy came to the unwashed village mounted on the inside of trunk, in a red velvet mold that exactly conformed to the silhouette of his body. The oversize trunk arrived with a bunch of miscellaneous..well, cargo for Jonesy of a questionable origin, which is about all we were able to get Jonesy to admit to. By accidentally pressing a bunch of buttons on the case, there was a loud exhalation of stale air, and Timmy opened his eyes, grinned, and demanded a beer. After we extracted him from the crate, Jonesy started to crank up the forklift to move the oversized package when matter of factly Timmy O�Toole walked over and hoisted it up in the air with one hand. Since then, anything big that needs lifting, we come to him. Buffy was able to surreptiously examine Timmy on one of those rare occasions when he sleeps (he just crawls back into the red velvet box and closes his eyes...weird, I tell you!), and she used her diagnostic powers to discover Timmy O�Toole�s skeleton is actually composed of Titanium, in an amalgam with Vault Tec Biosteel reinforcements.

"Explosive personality" Ever find yourself in a tight situation when you just could really USE an explosive, and there is none to be found, and there are 20 radio-controlled deathclaw bearing down on you like an ugly ex-girlfriend from the Jerry Springer Show? Who hasn�t? This is another time when having Timmy O'Toole in the village is a handy thing. Somehow, in a means we can�t determine, Timmy O'Toole can take any non-combustible object, like a rock, and by altering it�s chemical makeup mentally, turn it into an incendiary explosive device that ignites on impact when thrown. Like I said, in certain situations, this is a very handy thing. However, at the next Village Festival, try not to ask Timmy O'Toole to pass you the watermelon. Just some friendly advice.

� BrotherGrimm:

"Transmutation of elements" BrotherGrimm came to us from the Sidewise Universe, and noone in the village is really certain of much more than that. Oh, we ask him occasionally, but he simply grins and says, "Let�s just say it�s around the corner from the Whorl of Maybe, and down the block from the Isle of Possibility" Then we pretty much go back to our bastard brews and discuss Buffy�s latest avatar sighting. One thing he seems to have brought over with him is the ancient alchemist�s secret of Transmutating elements, one into another. If you bring him a bar of gold, for example, he�ll screw his eyes shut, chant cryptic tones that sound vaguely like "Kung fu fighting", and voila! Your bar of gold will be magically transmuted into Lead. Of course, we keep asking him to do it the other way around, but he doesn�t find that quite as amusing, durn him.

"Atomic Interstitial Travel" Perhaps derived from his ability to transmute elements, or the ability to move verrrry carefully, BrotherGrimm can move through solid walls of stone or brick by vibrating at just the right frequency and moving BETWEEN the atoms and molecules of the barrier. This comes in right handy when we need to break into the Flamingo Loan Company�s Vault and forgot to get the combination before we killed the proprietor. Only thing is, we have to be sure BrotherGrimm doesn�t have a cold before attempting this, as a sneeze at the wrong time could be disastrous. The last time he got drunk and was showing off at the Bastard Beer Hall, when halfway through the bar he hiccuped, and got stuck fast waist deep in the wooden bar. So, being ever resouceful, he just kept reaching across the bar and filling up his mug from the tap until his muscles finally relaxed enough to finish wading through.

Top three in order:

1) Silver Surfer (perhaps too powerful to be dramatic, but he's just awesome)
2) Daredevil (i've vowed to never see the ben afleck movie. it just depresses me to think about it existing)
3) Wolverine

Rape? Date Rape?

I'd be Superman. The time I'd save on my commute to work would be staggering. And I wouldn't have to wait in line for the microwave with my laser eyes to cook food.

Oh ya and chicks dig super strong men in tights.

When I was little, I thought wonder woman was cool. Invisible jet was wacked though. Now on Justice League, she just flies like Superman. Much better.

Now, I think Batgirl is much cooler. Smarter. Less dorky costume.
