Title: What's your Superhero name?
Post by: LARF on 17 January, 2008, 02:55:15 PM
Due to a particular talent you might have what would be your superhero name.

Mine would be 'The Elephant' due to my being able to remember lots of things and not very likely forget, how this could defeat evil though I've no idea :-)

What would your name be?

I have a similar ability but it mainly applies to film trivia and useless facts. So maybe I could be "Trivial Man"

Or, thanks to my flixibility, mentioned in the Stupid Tricks thread, I could be "The Dislocator".

Man Eye.
Ony because I had a dream about superheroes when I was about 7 and this chap was in it, with a big Eye logo on his chest. He had an ally called the Centaur, who was, in fact, a centaur. Not bad for a 7-year-old's subconscious, if I do say so myself

Since I had tried to make up a character based on myself in the City of Heros/Villians free trial.

Actualley, it would be me if I was much slimmer, and went to the gym more often.

If I had suddenly developed the ability to immolate myself in magical flames without burning myself.

Move faster than the speed of sound while traveling on foot.

MILES PER HOUR......

It's the name I chose for this character. It sounds cool, and reminds me of travelling fast. I guess.

Most importantly the three words also start with the same initials as my full real name. Barring my second middle name.

It's something I have always noticed looking at the speedometer of a car while driving. It's got the letters M.P.H.

Same as my initials.

As for my real nmae. I will let you guess. Though my last name isn't really that commmon.

Quality!

Unlike in the comics, real-life Commissioner Gordons rarely express gratitude for superheroes' help. One evening when Master Legend was on patrol, he heard a woman scream and ran to investigate. But when he located the damsel in distress, she thought he was attacking her and called the cops. "They wanted to know if I was some kind of insane man, a 41-year-old man running around in a costume," he recounts. "Apparently, they had never heard of me."

The Eye is a 49-year-old crimebuster from Mountain View, California, who wears a Green Hornet-inspired fedora and trench coat. Though he focuses mainly on detective work and crime-tip reporting, he prepares himself for hand-to-hand combat by studying kung fu and wielding an arsenal of light-based weapons designed to dazzle enemies.

"In movies, a ninja will have some powder or smoke to throw at you to distract," he explains. "That's essentially what I'm trying to do."

All superheroes have origins, and The Eye is no exception. He grew up tinkering with electronic gadgetry, first with his dad, then in the employ of a Silicon Valley company (he's reluctant to say which one). The Eye considers himself "on-duty" at all times, so when a co-worker started pimping fake Rolex watches to others in his office, the Paragon of Perception sprang into action. He went into work early, snuck into the watch-monger's office to locate the stash of counterfeit merchandise, and then dropped a dime to Crimestoppers. Ultimately, police wouldn't prosecute unless The Eye revealed his secret identityâ??a concession he was unwilling to makeâ??but he nonetheless chalks it up as a victory. "We stopped him from doing this," The Eye says. "He knows someone's watching."


And now, thanks to a really crappy disguise, he probably knows who you are and will be waiting for you in the car park after work.  Well done.

Photobucket

Next week, The Eye grasses up a couple of cleaners from the comfort of his hospital bed...

I guess those people would be really cool if they did what they were supposed to do.

If they actualley, really knew the diffrence betweent good and evil and when person actualley needed rescuing.

Otherwise a hero is as good as a clown without a circus.

Perhaps if there were so many costumed vigiliants in America, and they are serious. They should pool all their money together, and start up a college for what they do. It would be eally important for them to have afew academic subjects to solve the problem of dumb heros. Also to teach stuff what is evil and what is good and what is really annoying about being chased by costumed vigilaint for no reason at all.

The photo gallery on that site seems to spent an inordinate amount of time on Geist; However, I do love that the article describe part of his arsenal as "smoke grenades" and then the photo shows them as standard over-the-counter smoky fireworks that you need to light with a fuse. That's not how Batman conceals a fast escape now, is it? Also, his mask looks like he stole his mother's scarf.

The rest of them, my God. Hardwire look like a bicycle courier.

Just to about Ankle-Grinder Man.

(1) Don't wear a tight one piece jumpsuit unless you have the physic for it.

(2) Some of those motorists really need to have their wheels clamped and their licences revoked.
