"Is it a bird? Is it a plane?"

“With great power must also come, a great responsibility” Words of truth spoken from the costume clad mouth of Stan Lee’s Spiderman.  Granted - the power that comes with Peter Parkers secret superhero self is far greater than what we will ever know, given the fact he has a 6^th sense that alerts him to danger, perfect balance and equilibrium along with superhuman speed and agility. Let’s also not forget his webs shooting from his hands and the way he can motor up, and stick to,  the tallest of sky scrapers.

My brothers passion for Superheroes made me laugh at first as I was amused that a grown man would want to keep “boy dolls” but through his passion and a well thought out gift made for him I started getting drawn into the world of “Superness”, myself. Again, its amazing how so much of ones times can be spent on fantasizing about alter egos and the desire to be someone/something more that what we currently are.

I have mentioned before about the large portion of my day that is spent on my Rock Star fantasy – let me fill you in on what the little gaps in between are spent on wishing I was… Yup! 10 points for those who already figured it out! A superhero! DUH! Or Super heroine for the absolute feminists out there.

Yes I would love to be a power wielding, costume wearing, secret identity carrying, theme tuned, independently wealthy, superhero with a back story of note and headquarters with several levels of secret lairs but preferably no Achilles heel or weakness.

If I were a superhero – I already have my ideal costume.. Since I’m already a ripped skinny jeans, Black Sabbath t-shirt wearing, ol’ school Chuck Taylors, kinda gal by day, by night I would be scantily clad in a black lace corset with fishnets and black and bottle green netted tutu. I would have lace up combats up to my knees and a short black punked up mo-hawk! (think Pink!) My arms would have full tattooed sleeves and I would have my Justice peace across my collar bone. I would have a 6^th sense that turns certain streaks of my hair green or purple when danger is near or when my powers are low or strong. (that one requires more thought clearly!)

My headquarters would be held at the House Of Galahad and although it would still look like home to most – I would have control panels and the like, allowing me access to lofts n basements which would house all my superhero stuff and weaponry! I think Iron mans little set up but with a bit more pink would be perfect!

I would want to be somewhat of a shape shifting, slashing, mentalist. (Think - Plastic man, Mr. Fantastic, Mystique, Wolverine, Elektra, Phoenix and Professor x to name a few) So I could still have weapons coming from my hands, change my body to fit a situation and still have the ability to control or read the minds of those around me. Of course I would not be giving up the usual superhero powers of superhuman strength, ability to fly, enhanced senses and possibly even the projection of energy balls.

Las if having all of the above isn’t cool enough, with all superheroes comes a strong moral code – this is what sets them aside from being a super villain. (Um thanks Captain Obvious) This doesn’t come from any super power but comes from the pureness of good wanting to defeat evil and continue to defend good. Okay – check! This is one superhero I already possess.

As for a back story and a name, well that’s still a work in progress but if you stick around I’ll let you know when I have one….. Oh and a slogan….

For those of you who think I’m a child – I am….. This is childish and lame and will probably never happen (I say probably because I don’t think Steve Rogers had any idea that, after being injected in 1941 by an experimental serum, he would become “THE” Captain America, but he did – so there is hope)  but its fun to think about the lighter side of life and to imagine ourselves in another world…. Even if it is on ya coffee break in between clients….
