Q&A....

2.) If you could have any superpower you wanted, what would it be? What would be the first thing you did with it?

3.) What would your superhero/villain name be?

1. Flying, naturally. That would rock.

2. Hmm...mind-reading would be cool. I'd go around delving into the twisted minds of all my teachers.

3. I dunno...superhero names are hardly ever creative, so I'd probably just be, like, Mind-Reading Lady or something. Or Telepathic Woman.

1. I'd choose invisibility, of course. The Ring of Gyges tells all.

2. The ability to snipe with perfect accuracy! Or maybe the ability to imbibe endless skribbane! No, wait... I think I'd have to go with the power to prevent stupidity. Yes, an actual aura that prevented people from saying or doing abominably stupid things would be nice and good for everyone.

3. I'd be Intellectual Male Homo sapiens sapiens, of course.

1. I'd definitely fly. Being invisible on a whim would be nice, but I'd probably end up in places I shouldn't be, or would not want to be. Flying, however, would be a convenient way to skip out on all that rush-hour traffic!

2. Teleportation, definitely. Same as the reason above, but with increased mobility.

3. I'd be named Pemmin. If you understand that (and you'll know if you understand it), please drop me a PM.

1.Invisibility(Oh, and I'd want to be able to switch back and forth between visible and invisible.)! I'd be able to get away with just about everything.

2.Uhhhhhhh....Extreme dexterity! That'll ake getting away even easier!

3.The Spectre!

1. Invisibility (on/off, right?)
2. Time-Travelling, or at least stopping time. That way I could fix all the things I've screwed up in the close-past (is close-past a word? :P ).
3. Uhh, silly question. The Great Mister. :P

This was part of my childhood. Sitting around and making up Super Heros. Among them included "HoboMan" The rich buisness man by day, hobo by night, who would hide in allies, waiting for the police to chase a hapless dupe down into it, in which he would then beat them with his bindle, and save the day.
Lemon Boy had Radio Active Citric Acid sprayed into his eyes, causing his hair and eyes to glow bright yellow, and gave him the ability to conquer Lemon Bombs (Much like Pumpkin Bombs) and hurl them each and every way.
And the Evil Canoe Guy. A man walking with a Canoe over his head. Lighting strikes. The Canoe is fused on. Seeing the world through two narrow holes in a canoe, gives you a very small perspective. Who wouldn't go insane and become the ultimate villian?
And many more...

- I'd like invisibility best. You can always get an airplane :P .

- And teleportation would be nice. That or vast arcane power. Mmmmmh, which? Teleportation is incredibly useful; almost half your time is spent on getting from one place to another. Magic would be cooler though. :cool:

EDIT: Forgot completely to say what I was gonna do with that magic power. I'm not sure yet, but I know that it includes something painful happening to Bush. :P

- I'd stick with 'Arancaytar', maybe 'The Arancaytar'. I like the name. That's why I chose it for my board profile, duh! ;)

1.) If you could have either the power to fly or the power to be invisible, which one would you choose and why?
-Invisibility. I could afford a jet with the money I'll make robbing places.

2.) If you could have any superpower you wanted, what would it be? What would be the first thing you did with it?
-I would go for the ability to create magic fire, ice, and electricity. Then I would raze Pearl High School to ash.

3.) What would your superhero/villain name be?
-Not sure. Probably Lone Flame or Hino Shinsu.

Invisibility beats flying, I would suggest. While flying gets you places quicker, invisibility gets you places you couldn't get otherwise...I've also read the Gyges story.
As for any special ability...being able to create pure gold would be nice. Sure, it'd lower the value slightly, but hopefully not enough that I didn't end up ludicrously rich...

1) Invisibility. Definitely.

2) I'd like to be able to stop time for everyone except me.

3) The Sneaky Sailor. Or not.

Omlette: You have to be careful about keeping it secret though, or some government will draft/abduct you and force you to gold-making the rest of your life - reminds me of some fairytale :P . Oh, and you'd be likely to be shot to prevent a price slump. Basically, it'd be a dangerous and unpleasant ability. No thanks ;) .

Time-stopping is nice too, but only if linked with immortality. What's the use of being able to put in a year in one day if it shortens your life by one year? Is that really worth it?

Invisibility, naturally. Less ostentatious.

Oh, I think the power to invent immensely complicated riddles and to always speak in rhyme. That'd be fun.

1. Invisibility--obviously the choice that would produce the most fun!

2. The ability to destroy men's minds with faulty syllogisms! Go to M$ and use: "If pc's are computers, and macs are computers, then pc's are macs."

3. Name, hmmmm, either Louie the Logic Lemming or William Schmiegelmeyer.

1. Flying. OK, maybe invisibility would be a bit more useful, but good Lord, have you ever had a flying dream? Or gone parasailing? From those two things, I think it's pretty obvious that flying is one of the most fun things in the world. And it would be useful too. And by flying, I mean with angel- or owl-type wings, not like Superman...

2. Hmm... either super strength or super dexterity... a combination of both would be nice though...

3. Most likely Sir David, although it doesn't sound very superhero-y... I don't know, maybe something about angels or owls. Or something.

I am a superhero already. I have the strange power to make blue flashing lights appear whenever I walk down the road wearing a balaclava and my underwear on the outside. The string vest gets a particular reaction.

1. Invisibility-I could go anywhere and do anything without anyone knowing
2. The power to turn back time-I would correct any mistakes I ever made
3. Um... a name for me... I don't know :confused:

I figured you were a superhero, but i thought your power was to summon arcane political lore at a moment's notice, and you used it to nick the wallets of your stunned victims while their brains tried to digest the information they had just been hit with. At least that's how i picured it.
Ahem,
1.) Flying. Invisibility would inevitably lead to evil. Plus, better thrills.
2.) Incredible luck. Not unlike Longshot from the X-Men or Gladstone Gander (anybody remember him?). First action? Vegas, baby.
3.) The Golden Turnip.

Flying or invisibility? I would have to go with invisibility. Why? Becuase invisibility is a power that grants one the ability to humiliate and confuse anyone. But only if it was true invisibility and none of that "visible though scent/body heat" garbage.

As for a super power, I'd go with telekinesis. Once more, this enables you to induce uncanny amounts of annoyance and bewilderment upon a person, and is easily the most dangerous thing I can think of.

As for a super villain name... Necris works for me... maybe Necris Omega for some sort of "super second" form. ('Ey, what kind of decent super villain has only one form adays now anywho?)

Pity the second form never helps.

But in order to be a good villan read the evil overlord list.

Flying. Definitely.

Unique power? The ability to my feet transform into rollerblades. With wheels and brakes that never wear down.

Name? Uh, The Kid That Can Pull Off Amazing Tricks With His Rollerblades, I dunno. :P
