I have two hours of reading to do, to prep for tomorrow's BookTube review of the latest Asimov's.
While I'm "under", #RandomQuestions:
If you were a supervillain, what would your origin story be, and your superpower of choice? 🤔
Ho ho! That is QUITE a power. 😅 And I love the change-up with family order, instead of the spurned younger son.
Do you have a Kryptonite? An Achilles' heel? 🤔 Maybe the power doesn't work on Sundays?
@MLClark I *do* have a Kryptonite. True love's kiss renders me helpless!
Awwwww.
Now we just have to hope that @Mauve_matelot stays on the side of the superheroes! 😳🤞
@MLClark I would be a cat, somehow reincarnated for thousands of lives and owners and always as a house cat. But my resentment and contempt of humans kept growing with each life, always aware.
My superpower would be realized as a shape-shifter, finally able to escape subservience to the accursed humans by joining their ranks. Finally able to execute my plans developed over all those lives.
I would read this book/comic series and/or watch this movie/TV series in a heartbeat!
I was trying to think of the perfect name, but simplicity almost works better for terror here. You could simply be CAT, and your furry fury would still strike fear into the hearts of humankind by the end. 👌
@MLClark Assistant to the Villain is pretty close.
I'd be Elon Musk with a fully-functional brain, @MLClark
🤔 Is this a Ship of Theseus riddle? Because I'm pretty sure the latter attribute would cancel out you being the former!
You're taking this much deeper than I intended, @MLClark 😆 Supervillains usually have sketchy backstories.
Yeah, but this is, like, "Spock's Brain"-level storyboarding. 🙃
Yeah, not my cleverest work, that one, @MLClark 😜
Oh shaving cream! 😬 Then maybe you ARE Elon Musk after all!
And since you're too much of a gentleman for this, I'll provide the only appropriate counter to what I just said myself. 😅
I'll add a radioactive brain worm to the origin story for some Marvelesque plausability, @MLClark
@MLClark
I would be the hard done by elder brother of a superhero and my superpower would be to instantly change the state of matter of any object. Solid to liquid, gas to solid etc.
My revenge would be to liquefy mountains and solidify fresh water supplies.
