| Recently I've been made aware of, from multiple sources, Real life superheroes - the best article about them was this one from Rolling Stone, while the article about the best one of them was this BBC article about angle-grinder man. Two fun questions arise - first, if you were to for some reason decide to dress up in a silly costume and fight for justice, what would your costume be like, what would your name be, and what other gimmicks would you have? Second, not necessarily connected to the first question, what would you focus on fighting? My answers in comments - think of your answer first so I don't distract you. [11:12] |

| My costume would be full-body white, with sunglasses over the eyeholes, and splashes of drippy red. Under the costume would be a bulletproof vest, covered in blood-packs, so in the event of being shot or stabbed there would be blood to show for it. This hero would be named "The Clot", and his slogan would be "I will go to the heart of crime, and block its arteries." However, that particular outfit etc. wouldn't go very well with what I'd be inclined to fight, which is, like angle-grinder man, corruption. He was just sawing at the fingertips of corruption, I would want to do something about the top end - eg. the guys in charge of Monsanto corporation, and the guys who take bribes from them to allow their toxic crap into the food supply. I'm not sure how one would go about fighting that though, in a superhero sort of way. It might call for an antihero, like Magneto. |

| My costume would be full-body, violet PVC jump-suit. And, I'd have to agree with the bulletproof vest. His name would be 'Fearsome Diddle'. For pure laughs. Reasoning to fight? He would have none, other then to attack the course of debauchery from the government. And, with that...I have forgotten what else I was going to say. |
