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?

Answer in comments!

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

First: As the result of a curse placed on me, after I was overheard making disparaging comments about the accuracy/validity of astrology while in an occult bookshop, I would become a pyrokinetic were-ox. (Since I'm a saggitarius, born in the year of the ox.)
My superpowers would be the ability to create fire, and cud-chewing.

Second: While in human form, I would sell fire insurance. ("Give me $500 and I'll make sure your store won't accidentally spontaneously combust.") I'd use the money to buy a farm where I could graze a few days/month. In ox form, I would graze, chew lots of cud, and occasionally ignite anyone who annoyed me.

Third: I'm not yet sure about a name... As for costumes: when selling insurance, I'd wear a suit. The ox is costume enough. I'd have a few minions. Someone has to clean up after the ox, after all, and keep the farm from falling apart when i'm not there.
