STUPID POLL QUESTION OF THE DAY

[jbud73]

Of course I'm biased living in Monterey the damage really wouldn't effect me. Plus if they up New York, so much the better.

 

Go Red Sox

Only if I could be one.

I wouldn't mind being Thor. I'd be a responsible enough demi-god, honest. No wanton destruction........

...I don't know,...probably take at least an hour every morning just to bow dry the hair,...too high maintenance for me,....

[bullseye]

Would be cool if there were open super soldier programs provided you used the power to fight crime, and they could have a team set up to enforce that hehe

Right.

 

A vaguely sensible answer to a slightly silly poll.

 

When you think about it, three comic works spring to mind regarding super-heroes and how they would behave in the real world, or in the perspective of the bystander.

 

You've got the bleak and determinist Watchmen, which shows the inherent corruption of absolute power, Ross and Busiek's Marvels miniseries, which shows the scale of conflict between super-powered beings, and The Authority, which posits the notion that super-powered beings would generally be psychotic, macho, ruthless and fascistic.

 

If there were super-heroes in the real world, they'd behave like the Authority. Sorry folks, but they wouldn't be heroic, at least not in the traditional sense. They'd be 'orrible.

What about Astro City? It also explores the world of the superhero through the eyes of ordinary people and how their lives are affected by the activities of their super-powered counterparts.

It occurs to me that I havent read any of that stuff except for the Watchmen. Anything rise above the rest besides Moore's opus.

Andy, I think what Pete is telling you is that he needs you to use lots of one-syllable words.

You haven`t read "Marvels"? Get thee hence, young man, and stock up on one of the best, if not the best, mini-series of the 90s!

If they all lived and fought within a block of where greggy lives, I'd be ok with it.
