An attempt at creating a meme of sorts.

[flewellyn]

Okay, here's the deal: it's a simple three-question memey-type thingy.

Question the First: If you could have any one super power, what would it be, and why? What would be the origin of this super power? Would it be natural, learned, or have a contrived and convoluted origin, ala "radioactive spider"?

Question the Second: Given that you had the above super power, what would you do with it? Would you fight crime, evil, and injustice? Perform public services? Do superpowered performance art? Become a supervillain and try to take over the world? Or just be a lazy schmoe who used the power to coast through life?

And, Question the Third: What would your superhero/villain/whatever name be? Or would you use your own name? And would you wear a costume? What kind? Would you have a sidekick, or henchmen/women/robots/mutants?

limpingpigeon, you still have to answer, even though I know what you'd say. :-)

Answer the first: I think I'd like to be a were-tree. A were- peach tree. And since you can't really get bitten by a tree, that would probably be a natural super power. I think it would be wonderful to spend part of my life calmly photosynthesizing. I have not yet decided if there could be willful non-full-moon switches.

Answer the second: Well, you might say, that's a darn useless mutation. But, I respond, in the story in my head, people eating said peaches (is that cannibalism? Who knows? Eat of my body? Drink of my blood? No, thank you, none of those metaphores. Let's just say I'd be a tree.) would have good things happen to them, like internal problems fixed. Not like a one-stop hospital visits, just a little less damaged, a little more peaceful. Peaches of happiness, hoorah!

And answer the third: I am very attached to my name. I think I got the right one, I think it describes me well (I would not go so far as to call it a true name a la EarthSea novels, but whatever) and thus I wouldn't want to change it. Trees don't wear costumes, and since other than that, there's no particular applications, I think I could skip the spandex. I think I'd be content being a really small-scale improver of the world. I mean, quick, to the bat-fax! the other 25 days of the month, but that's normal type stuff that you don't need superpowers to do.

We from the Organizaton Against Naked Superheroes insist that the tree wear a spandex swimsuit.

I will leave that up to your brilliant organizational minds to design and create, then.
