LiveJournal Superhero

[unixronin]

OK, so there's some dumb reality show about who wants to be a superhero.  I've never seen it; we have no TV service.  I don't particularly wish to see it; I'm sentimentally attached to my remaining brain cells.

But . . . .

OK, so you wake up one morning and bam, you're a superhero.

(Slightly revised)

1. Who are you, in your public persona?  Geek Boy, Rubber Maid, Pedantic Man?  Do you keep your real identity secret?
2. What are your superpowers?
3. How did you become a superhero?
4. Do you wear a costume?  If so, what is it?
5. And now the toughest question of all:  Why the above choices?

1) I'm a fallen angel who is seeking redemption

2) Um, think "Kosh" and you're not far from it ... only, it actually is an angel instead of a vorlon. Instead of the glowy dragon shape (that we see when Kosh and Kosh fight), the true image would be a glowing ball of energy, I think. Not so much married to the true image needing to be a winged humanoid.

3) Awakening of inner potential/truth

4) No need. Mostly, think about how Kosh allows himself to be seen (though, I would have it be more native than projected, as projecting those images seemed to wear Kosh out). Then add that I can appear to be my mundane self, as well (instead of having to inhabit a station commander for a while, when I don't want to be out being a ball of energy or glowing luminous being).

5) That's a bit more complicated... but it was already on my mind as a "how would I do that in Hero/Champtions" question.

For the revision:

Who am I in my public persona? I think I'll stick to my original answer for #1 ... public name for said hero is left to the media. Said hero would be more focused on getting things done than how he is or isn't publicized.
