Superpowers
March 16th, 2007
Christmas expressed her amazement the other day at the speed at which I read. I suggested that it could be a superpower: “Fast-Reading Guy.” I don’t think they’d let me into the Justice League as Fast-Reading Guy, though:
Batman: Quick, Fast-Reading Guy, read that sign!
Me: Okay, I’ve read it.
Batman: Now tell us what it says!
Me: Um, wouldn’t it be faster for you just to read it yourself?
I guess my other superhero identity could be “Obscure Trivia Man.”
Luthor: Muahahahaha! Foolish Justice League, I will defeat you!
Aquaman: Quick, Obscure Trivia Man! Tell him something he doesn’t know!
Me: Hey, Luthor! A regulation golf ball has 336 dimples!
Luthor: (Falls back, wounded, and pulls a lever) Obscure Trivia Man, you’re no match for my new invention!
(A huge robot charges in.)
Luthor: The Ignorance-Bot Mark Seven! It’s capable of forgetting over 9,000 things per minute!
What talent do you have that would make a good superhero identity?
