Invent a superhero
This was inspired by another thread. I always used to be into comics when I was a kid (Spiderman and X-men mostly).
Now go my heroic ABCTalers, go create yourself super alter egos! I am Bouncerman - with my curry-stained lounge suit, my Brut aftershave and sagging paunch I can kill a man at ten paces with surliness alone.
Andrea
A seriously disturbing image, that.
Michael Portillo
I am PortilloMan, Worker of Miracles.
To demonstrate this, I will either :
(a) bring back the Tory Party from the dead
OR
(b) disappear up my own ar$e
Andrea
I think we'd all prefer it if you disappeared up yer orifice, the other option being more or less an impossibility (especially if the Widdecombe woman is elected to be the next shadow...)

Super Spaghetti Sigh Man.
I have a mask made out of parmesan cheese, a cape made out of bolognese and a spaghetti suit. My power is to whip up a spaghetti bolognese and stuff it down bad guys throats
Fecky
I used to be Ironman and I was that much of a superhero someone nicked me name ooOOOOooooh!
iFB

Simile Man.
Faster than a speeding bullet
More powerful than a locomotive
Able to see inside things like an X-ray machine
Shoots beams from his eyes like a eye-beam shooting thingy
Etc.
Grant Morrison (personal hero) invented the best ever, The Quiz, who has ever super-power you never thought of, leading to a great fight sequence... "Ah, flight, laser-vision, heat rays, errm invisibility.. laser-vision.. no, said that"
"You forgot the power to make escape-proof jars..."
iFB

PAX-MAN
i HAVE the power of tenacious questioning!
PAC-MAN
I have the power to eat ghosts
Bwatwurst Man
Wigid Westling hero!
Cammy's Khazi
Fecky,
Didn't I spot your name listed as Casting-off director in that new film:
Knit One, Pearl Harbour?
Cammy Again
Fecky,
You made a lovely job of all those Kami Cardies!

I want to be Medusa the Gorgon and turn people to stone. But, wait a minute, the dictionary says that medusas are bell-shaped with marginal tentacles and a mouth in the centre representing the sexually-reproducing stage of a jellyfish. Now I'm not so sure...
iFB
MLB ... don't you fancy being that shape then? ... those marginal tentacles sound rather exciting to me ...
Emily Dubberley
I'll be geek girl - with the power to update this website and decide who gets to go on the front page (at least until the editor comes back) :-)
iFB
em ... does your super power include "choosing story and poem of the day and writer of the week" ???
Emily Dubberley
nope - story and poem of the day powers reside with Mark Yelland Brown (weekdays) and Tess Swithinbank (weekends) Diana picked the writer of the week before she went away. I deal with all the links (all the time, rather than just when Di's away) write the blurb at the top of the page (when Di's away) and throw together random articles here and there.
Andrea
Not much good grovelling to you, then, Emily...
iFB
i have decided to be NetFairy with my Magic Wand ... my super power is to meddle with everyone's lives and fix them up on blind dates ... tho of course it means i am ever the bridesmaid never the bride ... superpowers always have their downside ... *sniffle*
Emily Dubberley
...unless you want a swathe of pages dedicated as a shrine to you on the site ;-)
Andrea
Could think of worse fates, Emily, I have to say. Bone interfering in my life springs immediately to mind.
