Title: Name, superpower and weakness
Post by: chemistryguy on September 11, 2012, 03:17:30 PM
It's as simple as it sounds.  What is the alias you go by, your superpower and your Achilles heel?

I'd be chemistryguy (naturally). 

I have the power to draw on unseen energy sources so that I only require 4 hours sleep (or less) to function. 

My weakness is an absolute lack of directional sense.  You can defeat me by blindfolding me and spinning me around twice.

WaffleGirl, with the amazing ability to conjure a plate of perfectly-cooked waffles (complete with syrup) at any time. Vegemite is my Kryptonite.


I fight (breakfast) crime.

I'd be Scottygirl, with the ability to travel instantly to any location that I desire, bringing along whatever I'm carrying at the time.

My weakness would be the taste of hot tea (I love tea). :D

I immediately thought of The Waffler:

Then I found that someone has cosplayed as this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/7588183@N04/4064483059/). The internet is an amazing place.

I am The Explainanator! Able to explain anything, at great length, in excruciating detail, with footnotes. I lull my enemies to sleep with tedious overexplaination, or frustrate them into clawing out their own brains.

Weaknesses: Easily defeated by emotional reasoning, you illogical twits. Possibly villainous.

I sit around and wait for people to stop caring about crime and everything in general.

My weaknesses are Red Bull and responsibility.

Superpower, not supervillain.
The difference between a Cape (hero or vigilante) and a Mask (villain)? Whether or not you kill (on purpose) the people you are fighting. Both believe that they are doing the right thing, so we need some other objective way of telling the difference.
Still, not a good generalization (generalizations are never good), but probably the best we can get.

This post reminded me of this:
