"There's a lot of Miracleman's war-as-surrealism in Uber, especially in the Tableau mode." -- Kieron Gillen

Since Gotham, and Spider-man are already covered, and anything else I want to do would take a bit too much research time (I'm on a 10 day stretch at work), I'll skip the rogues gallery for now, which means I can start posting things on the right day!

So what powers would I like? Well Phasing (Kitty Pryde), the ability to hop dimensions, and time periods (Access), or shape-shifting(Mystique) would be grand... but I really wish I was more proficient at languages that I am, I'm bilingual (speak/read enough Japanese to get by, though far from fluent), I've also studied some German, French, and Spanish in the past but my skills in those have atrophied. I'm actually told that that I have a fairly good head for languages, but I have a hard time investing the time, and money to truly progress (My Japanese I've kept from totally atrophying through imported video games, and manga), hoping to change that once I'm debt free.

But it'd just be easier if I had Cypher's or Siobhan's powers... Since we've already seen posts of those two (I really exhausted all the relevant Siobhan material, and after going through several issues of New Mutants I had trouble finding anything good for Cypher, guess I should have asked Icon for help), so this comic from Penny Arcade makes the point quite nicely.

The athleticism of Nightwing or Nightcrawler would be fun, though technically neither of those are powers, but skills they work very, very hard to perfect and I'm way too lazy to be able to keep that sort of physique up..

Teleportation would be pretty damned awesone, flight would be nearly as great and telekinesis can be amazingly versatile...

However... there are two powers I'd want to possess, and they reside in the same body...

Doug Ramsey always had, in his old appearance, two distinct super-powers, one was omnilingualism, and the other was that rarest of gifts;

Genre savvy common sense )

You know. It is pretty damn sweet to be a Kryptonian. You are bullet-proof. You can fly anywhere in the world. You can lift anything that weighs in tonnes. You can see through walls. You can freeze things with your breath. You can even set things on fire with your eyes.

Which Kryptonian do I wish to steal from specifically? )

When last we left our silver-locked heroine, she was trying to grapple with some mysterious life-altering event that happened over the summer, while working on maintaining her relationship with her (ex-?) boyfriend's little sister.

But there are also other people to relate to (or not)! They shall be found below. )

I almost couldn't decide what to put for this one; there are tons of amazing superpowers in the realm of comics (One Piece alone has come up with enough to fill an entire 31-day series by itself), but few of them are much use outside of whaling on other superhumans or trying to take over the world. Since I'm too lazy to be violent and only occasionally harbor dreams of world domination, that's no good.

But thinking about dreams reminded me of their pale-skinned, eighties-haired king. And thinking of him made me think of one of his children. And that child, I remembered, had one very peculiar power...

Super-singing.



Not you, moron! Get off the stage! (Also, am I the only one who hears animated!Cyborg when I see that panel?)

Behind the cut: one does not simply... ROCK into Hades. )
