What kind of Superhero would you be?

    Used to be that Bruce Wayne was a millionaire but with inflation taken into account, they have bumped him up to billionaire.

    Would you actually need to be a billionaire?

    Surely in these frugal times, a man person could throw their hand at being a Superhero and make a dent in the criminal mastermind's shenanigans without breaking the 10m mark, no?

    Well, I reckon I could: for a start I would get me an invisibility cloak, now very much purchasable and when I was done spending time in The Corrs shower rooms (they all shower together, even Jim - although he does wear a tinfoil shower cap) I would hand around Marlborough St kicking heroin out of Junkies Hands as soon as they bought it, thereby totally wrecking their buzz.

    The dealers I would follow to their jeeps and hide in the back and donkey punch them when the road was clear of citizens (haven't worked out how or what I would need to survive such car wrecks, but I will). Captain Biscuits would also give out free biscuits to kids.

    How's about yerselves?

    What you call yourself?
    What kind of getup would you wear?
    What type of criminals would be first on you first rid the streets of?
    How much do you think you would need to make yourself immune from the Guards?

    Phone Box Vandalism Man. Fighting phone box related crime in the greater Oldham area strictly between the hours of 8-10pm, weekdays only.

    My only weapon would be a trusty Nokia 3210 armed with a dodgy sim card that gave me free texts and calls(geogpraphic numbers only, terms and conditions apply, see Phone Box Vandalism Man for details and an ass-kicking).

    I'd be a terrible one, I don't like helping people. I'd use my powers for evil/my own amusement


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    I've got all the emotional stuntedness of a superhero. I've got a burning hatred for annoying d*ckheads I meet on the street.

    I have none of the skills however and don't have access to a butler.

    also I think you have to be an orphan to be a superhero. No thank you.

    an "inadvisability" cloke?

    you'd be impervious to advice?

    I don't think my mustard stained Saint Bernard white Y-fronts would look good on over my trousers so no, I'd make a lousy superhero :(

    :pac:

    In Autumn and Winter he walks the streets like any other. But in Spring and Summer he becomes.......WASPMAN.

    After a foolish experiment with a dying wasp went tits up Pighead's DNA was fused with the DNA of the dying wasp and WASPMAN was born.

    Special superpower is being really really really annoying at picnics.

    Yes and no matter how man times people advised me not to find the person at Mozilla who chooses their spellchecker and kick him in the balls, I would never listen.

    My super powers would be the ability to post whitty and funny replies.

    Oh, and being ironic

    Pretty easy to distract you tho with a strategically placed cream cake!

    Needy.

    "What did you think of my superhero-ing?"

    "Does my cape make me look manly or a bit camp?"

    No disguises for me. I'd print my name and address on my costume so people can send me presents.

    Sure, supervillains may be able to strike back at me through my family but I might get on the Late Late Show or even...dare I say it....the Craig Doyle show.

    I would be the kind that toils away selflessly over numbers in a finance dept. So I can save money for the poor and take from the rich. My superpower would be my ability to always carry the one without fail.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,041 ✭✭✭Seachmall




    I'd be one of these cool cats.

    "The Crimson Fist".

    Sounds like a girl/girl flick someone's bf might download :p

    "The Crimson Fist".

    Sounds like a girl/girl flick I might download :p

    it's only available for five days every month, though.

    Edit: And your original post is preserved for all time!

    I'd be the type who becomes increasingly disillusioned with humanity, growing ever more bitter and twisted, until I became the worlds greatest super-villain, setting in motion a fiendish and complex plot to destroy mankind, before ultimately, at the last possible second realising what I have become and sacrificing myself in one last desperate act of good to undo my own scheme.

    Good call on the invisibility cloak to see the Corr sisters showering together. Can finally found out once and for all which one has the biggest tits and who is shaved and who has bush:)
