Iron Girl
Saturday, May 24th, 2008
If you could choose any superpower, no matter how devastating or nefarious, what would you choose?
Would you want to emulate a character from your favourite comic or film? How about a video game hero? Perhaps one of the Heroes? Or have you thought of your own unique, never-previously-conceived superpower?
Moi? Well I’d love the ability to produce “fireballs” from my hands from chi or actual fire. I don’t really know why I’d like that particular power, apart from the fact that it would be an awesome weapon. I used to love producing the hadouken effect in Streetfighter II with Ryu or Ken.
The next best thing to producing my own fireballs would be to be able to don a suit like Iron Man and blow up the bad guys. I really should review that film, I’ve seen it twice already.
I’m looking forward to the Hancock movie. Haven’t heard good things about the Indiana Jones movie so far, but I still intend to see it. Speed Racer is on at the IMAX, but I’m not sure that I’m bothered enough to check it out. Each sunrise brings me closer to The Dark Knight, and yet there’s still 6 months left until the new Bond.

I wanted to be Storm or Jubilee when I was a kid - being able to fly and control the elements, or being able to produce flashes of energy with my hands

I wanted to be Nightcrawler. Cool look, cool powers.

I loved Storm when I was a kid too, CB. Actually, I loved Halle Berry as Storm, though I think the cartoon version was slightly more commanding.
Nightcrawler is very cool - I loved that opening sequence in X-Men 2 when he infiltrated the White House.
