Question of the day: What kind of superhero are you?

http://www.rps.net/cgi-bin/stone/randpower.pl

noah has learned to tunnel through solid shadow. Additionally, he has been known to become camouflaged and he has the power to copy defenses of his assailants. noah rides an unusual tank into battle, but doing so makes him deaf for one day. He also conquers rivals with a venomous pet parrot made from string and he developed the talent to spray deafening sounds from his axe toward a single combatant. noah lords over a assortment of ants, however can only do so once an hour. Terribly, noah takes harm from exposure to steel.

Tunneling through solid shadow is pretty awesome, and I'd love to have a tank, but it must be made of some special carbon polymer instead of steel...

[fluffy]

fluffy is protected from damage by a tough outer shell, but can only do so twice a day. It also has the ability to become incorporeal and it wrangles with rivals using an explosive skateboard. fluffy has a reputation for a super ability to predict the future, however this power only lasts one day at a time. It can launch lasers from its morningstar toward a distant area and it developed the talent to steal the skills of its opponents and use it against them. fluffy has the power to become immovable and it possesses the power to block vibrations and deflect them against a series of foes. Shamefully, fluffy is deathly afraid of giraffes.

It's like it knows me!

[Niveous]

Niveous has the power to take control of bears. He likewise is protected from damage by an energy barrier and he can spin like a whirlwind. Niveous has learned to tunnel through solid gold and he has been known to transform glass into silver. Unfortunately, Niveous is handicapped by being rigidly inflexible.

Questions:

1- Bears like grizzlies or like hairy dudes or both?
2- Glass into silver, huh? Why would i?
3- Rigidly inflexible. Wow, it's like they've read my upcoming Nur Ein reviews.

[Rone Rivendale]

Used the very 1st one it gave me.

Rone Rivendale rides a remarkable motorcycle into battle. He is able to steal all powers of his rivals and use it against them and he has been known to transform sand into steel. Unfortunately, Rone Rivendale is deathly afraid of turtles.

I'd be afraid too.

[Niveous]

Hey, I joined the ranks of Caravan Ray, Fluffy, & BLT. Over 5000 posts.

[fluffy]

Incidentally, the counts are a little bit off - I actually have "only" 7231 posts, and Caravan Ray has "only" 6430. BLT's is accurate, though.

(Well, no, he actually has "only" 10425, which is still kind of, you know, A LOT.)

Oh, and Niveous, your real count is only 4788, FWIW.

phpBB is kind of goofy about how it keeps track of posts. I don't think posts that you delete (or which get deleted from a thread or whatever) get removed from your post count. And it can just plain get out of sync anyway, as it does easily. I'm actually surprised more by the people whose post counts are really close to their actual number of posts (HInc is only a few off).

[Niveous]

Dang. Buzz killed.

[fluffy]

Well, you're still in Shock & Denial, so a bit of confusion is expected.

[Caravan Ray]

Hey, I joined the ranks of Caravan Ray, Fluffy, & BLT. Over 5000 posts.

I can remember thinking years ago - wow, look at those losers Leaf and J$ - how can they post so much? And now I is one too....

[nyjm]

*Looks at post count* =>

*Feels left out*

*Remembers that nearly two-year hiatus. Spent writing a dissertation. That got him a PhD. And a nice job. And a book to publish.*

I'm good.

[roymond]

roymond has mastered the ability to transform any horse into an imp, but only when angry. Also, he developed the talent to steal the mental attributes of his opponents and use it against them and he has the power to communicate with men verbally. Lamentably, roymond struggles with being kind of an asshole.

[Caravan Ray]

Stupid website

"Caravan Ray is able to force turtles to reveal their innermost secrets. Unfortunately, Caravan Ray is handicapped by being insane."

[RangerDenni]

mirth.

"Ranger Den is able to become incorporeal. She has learned to communicate with butterflies verbally and she fights wielding a toxic tail made from rock. Ranger Den has the power to absorb the damage from mental attacks and redirect it against multiple combatants and she has mastered the ability to confuse the strategies of an attacker, however using this power makes her immovable for one day. Lamentably, Ranger Den struggles with being terrible at handling animals."

[inevitableguy]

"inevitableguy has been known to transform mental energy into titanium. Additionally, he rides a miraculous limousine into battle and he has learned to create air out of thin air. inevitableguy developed the talent to take control of magnetism and bend it to his will and he carries a death-dealing proboscis that also grants an unimaginable capacity at avoiding attacks. He can absorb the damage from most physical attacks and use it to increase his pair of tools, but only against a weapon. inevitableguy possesses the power to absorb the damage from all physical attacks and redirect it toward a single antagonist. Terribly, inevitableguy endures the burden of being horribly disfigured. "

I can create air out of thin air...I will be rich someday!

[HeuristicsInc]

I'm actually surprised more by the people whose post counts are really close to their actual number of posts (HInc is only a few off).

Huh, well, I don't delete any of my posts, but I leave whatever crap I wrote in there.

Heuristics Inc. has an awe-inspiring horde of useful gadgets, but only when happy. Additionally, he can spin like a whirlwind and he is able to force grues to run in fear. Heuristics Inc. has inherited an impressive sense of hearing, however using this power draws a lot of attention. He lords over a pattern of foxes and he rides a terrific car into battle. Tragically, Heuristics Inc. is well-known for being partially paralyzed.

I lord over a pattern of foxes? I am intrigued at this. Also if I am sad my gadgets do not work. Very interesting. I am not likely to be eaten by a grue.

[j$]

Hey, I joined the ranks of Caravan Ray, Fluffy, & BLT. Over 5000 posts.

I can remember thinking years ago - wow, look at those losers Leaf and J$ - how can they post so much? And now I is one too....

Hang on, I'm nowhere near 5,000 posts and you are over 6,000 - and you have been a member of this board less time than I have?

LOSER.

Every post a pearl, me. (Just don't add dumbrella to the equation)

PS BLT ruined high post counts for me. there's only so many times I can find new ways of saying "yr mum" and "my cock." That man has me beat. And by "that man" I mean "yr mum" and by "me" I mean "my cock".

[Billy's Little Trip]

BLT has learned to block mental shockwaves and deflect them against any combatant in sight, but this power fades when he has an erections. He also rides a glowing space motorcycle with attached magical dildophone into battle, however he must speak sensual words of power to do so. BLT is able to transform his body into crystal meth and he turns crackheads into law abiding citizens. He combats antagonists with a cruel proboscis from his pants that also grants a bewildering immunity to high pressure and he wields a venomous pack of nads made from sunshine, but only when well-rested. BLT displays an uncommon knack at fighting in the dark and he possesses the power to absorb the damage from radiation and use it to magnify his wisdom and his beard to grow to the perfect length and stops there without ever having to trim it. He likewise has been known to transform any spider into physical matter and he has the power to make gorillas appear from the mist. BLT developed the talent to copy defenses of his enemies and he can take control of poison and bend it to his will, but only the bendable kind. Regular poison is used as a libation to have merriment and plunder. Additionally, he has inherited all of the powers and talents of a bull *wink wink* and he has mastered the ability to spin like a whirlwind....in BOTH directions. BLT is protected from damage by a magic shield made to look like a perfectly tailored Armani suit and tie with guitars and music notes on it that will project like a swarm of razor sharp ninja stars in a 360 degree cloud turning anything and everything within 20 feet into multi colored sparkling glitter, except never harming BLT because he is impervious to his own weapons out of common decency to each other.

Great! Now I'm outed! You know......it's tests like this that made Iron Man finally have to confess his other life.

[mrbeany]

Mr. Beany can create rock out of thin air, but this power fades when he is knocked unconscious. Also, he has learned to steal the size of his attackers and use it against them, however doing so drains his power to recover quickly from wounds for two days. Mr. Beany rides a marvelous lizard into battle and he is able to confuse the emotions of an opponent. He has the power to transform his body into dust and he possesses the power to deflect vibrations. Mr. Beany has been known to take control of radiation and bend it to his will and he is protected from damage by resilient skin. Lamentably, Mr. Beany becomes clumsy in the presence of fire.

I can steal my attackers? I like being able to confuse the emotions of an opponent. It's like I can steal their hearts...

Though I think the "power to transform his body in to dust" is really what most people call "a will specifying direct cremation". It doesn't say I can return from dust, only that I can become dust.

[Niveous]

Clumsy in the presence of fire.... so you fall over at the stove alot? Trip into campfires?

Though, you've gotta love a good lizard riding superhero.

[Rabid Garfunkel]

Rabid Garfunkel developed the talent to make weapons appear from nowhere, but using this power draws a lot of attention. He likewise is able to become invisible and he possesses the power to hurl ice blasts from his talisman against any enemy in sight. Rabid Garfunkel lords over a cluster of wolves. Tragically, Rabid Garfunkel is well-known for being kind of an asshole.

Pretty much, yeah.

Terribly, Rabid Garfunkel becomes homeless in the presence of illusion.

Came across that line and it seems deeper than a fnord-based Perl script has any right to be.
