A writer I know just got his comic book published, MAYHEM, and there's a party on the 5th at at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles located at 7522 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90046. Signing will be from 6pm - 10pm. This event is open bar!
So I got to thinking, if I were a superhero, would I be a superhero or action hero.
I'd be a superhero but I don't think I want to fly or have a cape. I like that invisible plane of Wonder Woman but her costume makes it difficult for kung-fu fight. I think I'd be some kung-fu supernatural fighter with Samurai superpower sword.
Yeah, that's what I'd be.

I'd much rather be an Action Hero.
Bond, James Bond. or Indy.
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I think I would be an In-Action Hero. Able to save the world by the power of doing nothing.

I'd be invisible with xa-ray vision, kung fu grip, AND a badass ride. I'd offer turn-key productions in an instant, make a boatload of cizash and spend my time at the beach doing non heroic stuff.

I have always been fascinated by Batman. No superpowers. No mutations. No alien anything. While the almost unlimited cash and owning all the makers of your gadgets helps, there is nothing about him that you or I couldn't do. He just has determination, intellect, and discipline. That's it.

If I could have a superhero power or special ability, I would choose invisibility, but only if it was something I could control and wasn't always invisible.
There is so much you can do with it, both good or bad... free flights, free food, walk into a safe at a bank, play some crazy pranks on people and get away scott free, stand next to the President and listen in on meetings in the Oval Office.

If I were an action hero, I don't know, maybe someone like Morpheus from The Matrix films.
A dude who speaks the truth and tries to inspire others to open their eyes a bit to the world around them.
All whilst being able to do some wicked kung fu. Plus, his beat up old red leather virtual chair in the matrix is pretty stylish. It looks kinda comfy too.

Then again, having your very own indestructible giant mecha would be pretty neat too.

So I guess I'd be a focused philosophical warrior that has stylish clothes, knows kung fu, has an invisibility cloak, and a big mecha war bot.
Might as well give the mech the same invisibility tech too.

Nektonic - did you illustrate the mech?
I'll be Dr. Manhattan, baby.
Y'all can just deal with the swingin' radioactive junk.

Nektonic - did you illustrate the mech?
I wish I could draw that well. I was just using it as illustrative purposes to show what kind of mech I would use. I don't want some candy colored Voltron style one, but I'll take the rugged military looking ones with machine guns, rockets, rail guns, and plasma cannons.
Perfect example: Armored Core For Answer

Mayhem, huh? I read that dude's webcomic. Mostly about crazy stuff he or his agent spouts off. Pretty funny. (http://www.dontforgettovalidateyourparking.com/)

I want to be a Super Action Hero. Or maybe an Action Super Hero. Hard to decide, but I want them laser eyes that what's his name has in X-Men. My catch phrase would be: "Don't make me take off my glasses!" or "Hey, I think I have something in my eye, come here and check."
My name would be Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation-Man, but my friends could just call me:
Wait for it.......

Probably wouldn't get much work though:
Secretary: "OMG! Commissioner, the Dastardly Boys are robbing the First National Bank and they have cans of Evil Gas!"
Comm:"We have to call Light Asimula....Light Amplification by Surreal.....Light Amplification by Electrical......Screw it, see if Superman is in town!"

Actually, I just remembered a cool superhero character idea I came up with a couple years ago...
GUNMAN :kali: Basically, he would have .30 caliber machine guns for arms. Sort of a heavily armed Edward Scissorhands.
Now, you're asking, how the heck does he eat, brush his teeth, etc...? We'll you'll have to buy the movie/comic book/video game if I ever make it.

I'm mostly trying to figure out how he manages recoil forces and waste heat.
Wouldn't he get casings in his ears?

Actually, Mattykins had concept art made up for one of the dvxfests that had an alien with a machine gun as one of his arms that I modelled. The dvx short fell through back then but he's since picked it up again, shot everything and it's still getting done. But his I think is more like a machine gun with a section that allows you to fit your forearm into, rather than a bodily extension.
Anyways, I guess your still safe. It is a cool look though. :beer::beer::beer:

I would be Mind Control Man. I would never have to do anything. If I'm hungry I eat. If I need money, gear, or want to have sex with Halle Berry, I just say it. Now that is living.:Drogar-BlackEye(DBG
