Your superhero name
The Urban Geek Pack, as a concept, is years old. The Urban Warrior Coat came out of a conversation about superhero names. I came up with The Urban Warrior who is a cross between Blade (from the Blade movies) and Neo (from the Matrix movies). Costume consists of black combats, black paraboots, plain black t-shirt, full length black leather coat, black shad and, vicious, back mounted sword. A master in martial arts, stronger and faster than most humans and with the ability to heal rapidly the Urban Warrior strikes fear into those he hunts. Dedicated to protecting Middle England the Urban Warrior stalks the city streets hunting chavs, numpties and morons extracting swift and brutal payment for their crimes (existence being considered a crime, especially in the case of chavs). His word is law, his judgment final, his punishment disproportionately brutal as he executes those who offend him with extreme prejudice.
What’s your superhero name and what would you do with your powers?
My name would be Nemesis. Fire would stream forth from my fingers when angry and I would eliminate idiots. The definition of an “idiot” would be that I say you’re one. Once defined as an “idiot” brief pleadings and appeals would be allowed before elimination takes place, or not. I wouldn’t want to appear totally without reason, but the case would have to be very, very good. Outward appearance would not give any indications of my absolute power, but once angered by the “idiot” they would quickly become aware of who I really was.
It’s so wonderful to have dreams.
Today I really, really wish I was Nemesis and had superhero powers. The “idiot” who drove into my garden wall last night (leaving me a present of half his bumper) would be found, brought before me, forced to kneel and apologise profusely, made to rebuild my stone wall and then both s/he, and his/her seriously damaged car, would be eliminated. Absolutely no appeal would be allowed.
Wow - hit and run on a wall. At least you know the car has been damaged
Perhaps you could elimate them using their damaged car for the ultimate in irony.
Well at the moment I have an alter ego/superhero idenity of ‘Bathgirl’
with the abilities to turn someone to jelly with a single massage (or at least send them to sleep if they’re not watching Scrubs). This is coupled by an ability to think faster than I can type and miss-spell damn near EVERYTHING :op.
While Nemesis is a pretty neat idenity ( it was also my Mother’s nickname - and Nanook’s idea) so my ‘evil idenity’ would need a cool name ( to be decided later)BUT would have the ability to vapourise anything and/or anyone who annoyed me. Standing on the left hand side of the escalator in London? - not anymore, walk/push in front of me and stop? Hmm you’re just small sub atomic particles in the ether… ( hmm this has potential).
My Superhero name is hoverFrog. Duh!
In addition to the powers of hopping, hovering and sarcasm I have evolved beyond the petty mortal concerns of humanity. My vast mental powers can visit swift justice on scum (identified by the trademark baseball cap) by telekinetically causing them to squish flat into a puddle of their component parts. I also have the power to shoot fireballs from my eyes but I reserve this for smokers, cantankerous oldsters, queues, people who swear constantly, slow walkers and anyone who I feel like punishing. A useful power for Christmas shopping or visiting the post office.
I may be more a super villain rather than hero. You can tell because I have a tendency to explain my plans to people. I may or may not tie them up first. It depends.
