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 already live this one. I'm Super-Reenactor! My real identity is an open secret, though there are actually a few people who have mistaken me for actually being male, in my male roles.
2. Ability to understand the actual values and thought-patterns of the time period. Ability to create a totally period camp. Ability to cook a six-course meal for fifty, using only a fire and period utensils.
3. I started out reading waaay too many books of different time periods, and wanted to go there. But no one had invented time travel. So I joined the SCA, but decided it wasn't authentic enough for me. So I had to find a program and start remaking it to suit...
4. That depends on what event I'm at. I have a whole closet full...
5. Because I don't belong here!

BTW, "Who Wants to be a Superhero?" is amusing in its way. It isn't what you might expect. And I think the producers have had it rigged from the start, but hey, it's their show.
