Meta: Hey Hiro! Check this out!

Seems Entertainment Weekly magazine picked our abilities as nominees for a Tubey award!

(Well okay, they didn't get our abilities exactly right but still...)

Oh!

Well...maybe it's because there's already one Superman on the list...

ooc: Fine by me. :)

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's just wishful thinking on my part. I don't have a superpower. Not that I know of anyway.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Who knows. One just may show up one day...

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

I thought I'd have to get bitten by a spider or something.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Depends. Sometimes abilities are inside someone already and need to get activated or whatever.

But...there's quite a few that happen by accident...like being bit by spiders or exposed to gamma rays or whatever.

You know...if you wanted to be a superhero without the powers, you could build yourself a super suit or something. *grins*

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Hmm, most people would think I'm crazy.

How would you even get started building a super suit anyway?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Um...I have no idea really. It's like building a wearable robot or something...

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Not all supersuits are like Iron Man though, right?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

If you're designing the suit, you don't have to make yours like Iron Man's if you don't want to.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

I don't know of any other suits that make the hero.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Well...what would you like your awesome suit to do?

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

First, I'd just like to point out that you said the word awesome.

Secondly, could it give me super strength or make me invisible?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

This is what happens when Captain Awesome talks to you for awhile...you start saying 'awesome.'

Well, if you wanted it too, sure.

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Awesome. *grins*

So what would I need to put in it to make it super? Iron Man's was an easy enough concept for protection and flight.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I dunno...some sort of engine to power the suit. And probably some sort of stealth technology to make it invisible?

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

Seems like it would get kinda bulky.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Well, there would have to be things in it to power it to move, I think.
