Superheroes
kybearfuzz asks, "What superpower would you like to have? What would your costume and code-name be?"
Well, if I can only choose one, I suppose I would go with super speed, like the Flash, my favorite superhero growing up. To be able to be at the other end of the world in minutes (I mean, the guy could run across water!) would be amazing. You could fight criminals without having to be super strong, because you could land multiple punches without anyone ever hitting you. My costume for this particular power would probably be a charcoal grey (spandex, natch), and I'd call myself The Blur.
Personally, I've always been more of a combo guy, so given the choice of a couple of powers, I would like the flight/super-strength/invulnerabilty package, please! I mean, flight alone really isn't going to make you much of a superhero (sorry, Angel!) really, so I would want a little more of an oomph when it came to my superpowers. I used to play (ok, I still have the account, though it's been about 6 months since I've used it) an online PC game called City of Heroes/Villains, where you get to create your own superhero/villain and run around in a universe filled with other "powers". The very first hero I ever created, was a guy named Redd Rover. He had ability over fire, could shoot fireballs and manipulate it, as well as super speed and flight. The guy really was me. He looked a lot like me, so much so that I went as Redd Rover for Halloween one year. My "combo power" superhero would have to be pretty close to this (and Redd Rover would, naturally, be my code-name).
(I'd probably lose the horns though. They were a pain in the ass to keep on.)
If you're so inclined, feel free to ask me questions, here.
