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?

We also have no TV, for a decade now. We did get to see part of an episode while at my Uncle's home (they have two TV's on constantly.) It is hilarious because everyone takes it so seriously. (Of course, there is serious money involved.)

My answers:

1 Why have a public persona?
2 Based loosely on the hero in "Coils", Saberhagen/Zelazny Telepathy with computers.
3 When was I not?
4 See the answer to number 1
5 Information, any information, available anytime, anywhere. "Knowledge is Good"
