Y’know how they have those quizzes online like, What superhero are you? Or what type of killer are you. Well every now and again I do one, but I always feel jipped cause there are only as many outcomes as there are answers per question and if you know anything you can predict and make the outcome you want come about. So I came up with my own answers for myself.

“I don’t carry no grudges, bub - I work out my aggressions on the spot!”

In a fight I am Wolverine…
I can’t stand bullies and almost every fight I’ve ever been in was with someone bigger and I’ve had more wins and draws than losses. That said I tend to throw myself in headlong. Not alot of blocking just doing my best to pound the other person into a raw turkeyburger. I can ignore pain and do tend to heal quickly. My downfall in the past has been to let my anger get the best of me and even in a win take more punishment than I really had to. Once I’m there I don’t turn back and I keep going until it’s over and I won or someone else stops it.

“With great power there must also come great responsibility”

In Everyday life I am Spiderman…
The consumate do-gooder. Always trying to help others and use my powers (as they are) for good. I swing along cracking jokes and trying to add levity to even the most horrible situations. I tend to have issues balancing my heroic acts with the fact that I have to go to work during the day, resulting in alot of tardiness and calling out. Unlike Spidey I manage to keep my job…for now. I was also a nerd in school and sometimes bullied, however when I slipped into my new powers (coolness) I brought that to an end. I do still tangle with managing a love life in the midst of all this and even avoided it for a while. I don’t think Spidey had as many flings as me though…points for me! Similar to Spidey I do not have the trust of the authorities.

I could also be compared to Longshot…but I’m trying to make this accesible to non-comic readers.

“Don’t make me angry, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”

In Temperment I am Bruce Banner/The Hulk…

Usually a nice helpful guy, just going about his business. Trying to do good and be good. However, when I’m pushed I change. To the point where I try not to get upset. I try to supress it. I let people take it a little further than I should. Once I’m past the point most people won’t recognize me. They don’t understand how that nice person could be this mass of rage so strong that you can feel the anger radiating from him. You would not like me when I’m angry…it takes a while to get me there, but when it happens you deserve it.

If I made a list of things to do “with your own two hands”–stirring gumbo wouldn’t be on it.

In Love (I would like to think) I’m Gambit…
The charming rouge dropping bits of french with his creole’ accent (I can do the french, but I don’t think a B’more accent counts). Somewhat of a mystery, attracting the women around, but always chasing the hard target. Always considered a variable and showing up to come through when you’ve probably given up hope on him.

BUT

Am I not supposed to have what I want? What I need? What am I supposed to do.

In Love I’m (probably really) Peter Parker…
An all around great guy who just can’t get it together. Always vanishing and coming back just in time to find out he’s too late. Unable to see those who appreciate him and forever trapped in longing. Despite the power he has he feels lost and unable to control things. Very intelligent, but he just can’t get the pieces to fit right. Maybe he will end up with the girl, but she’d have to accept all aspects of him. This would allow him to be loved, but first he has to be able to reveal it…and understand it all himself.

“I don’t see why you two are so nervous. This is my kind of neighborhood! Lots of shadows and lots of things to climb on.”

In Public I am Nightcrawler…

I’m not blue or fuzzy, but I can blend into the backround and go unnoticed when I choose. On the reverse end I also can initiate feats of derring-do to attract attention. I am a joker and I love to play pranks on people. Verbally I am what he is physically. I can work my way into just about any conversation and due to my imagination (and habit for thinking in tangents), I tend to “teleport” around and sometimes have to remind myself what I was talking about. I can be a swashbuckler and pretty gallant, but my nature sometimes makes me want to go unnoticed. I must look funny too cause people seem to stare at me and be unable to form a response when I react to them.
