The "Ask Characters Questions" Meme!

[prettycoolguy]

Okay guys, this is pretty simple but should be fun, and give us all something to do as we wait for things to happen as plot to progresses.

Post your character, and people can ask them things ICly or OOCly, as themselves or as their characters.

For example, "Hey Chief, what do you think of [x]?" or "Hey Zita, what does Chief think of [x]?"

Characters do not strictly have to answer honestly, but it's more fun (and more funny) if you make them!

Other than that, go nuts and have fun!

No, you're missing the point.

We would LOVE to be able to not be needed. We would love to be able to give people the kinda tech they need to take out supervillains on their own.

But 1) Everytime that happens, the government uses it to hurt us when we're still in the middle of fighting the bad guys (I mean, the least they could do is use it on the villains FIRST, come on)

And 2) we're too busy fighting bad guys for our genius people to help the other non-hero genius people come up with all the fixes everyone needs.

And for all that people like you go on about how we make it so normal people have to wait on people in gaudy costumes to save them, why the hell then are the normal people creating people in gaudy costumes? The US government created me, moron. Normal, non-powered people created me. Another mook in tights.

My world's Lex Luthor created me.

The only thing you could actually say that'd make me not think you're an idiot, is that you wouldn't be stupid enough to "give humanity the tools to save themselves" by creating another superhuman.

If we're being honest, you weren't created to be a "hero". You were created to be a biological weapon. A tool. Something to be used over and over and over again. No different than a gun or a tank, really.

And... do you even know what a Stand Alone Complex is?

Except for the whole part where I'm a person.

Rob explained it to me once. It's like...when people copycat stuff. Sometimes when no one starts it.

In which case, bring it up with the supervillains, giving each other ideas, and they did start it.

And you think you superheroes don't contribute to it?

All the drama, suspense, theatrics, and fame involved in the hero/villain fights. You think people don't want to be a part of that one way or another?

You should see the statistics for crimes involving costumed individuals in Gotham. It was non-existent before Batman, now it's a thirty-times a day regularity. Some want to be him, some want to be the guy who fights him.

Heroes breed villains breed heroes breed villains. It's all one big circle jerk. Blame one side all you want, but your life itself is proof of it.

No one would try to clone a superboy they could control if there was no uncontrollable, unaccountable, incredibly powerful superman running around, after all. Would they?

How many people have died just because the Joker specifically wanted to get Batman's attention? How many times have you heroes screwed up while trying to save the day and ended up creating your own nemesis? How many people have died trying to give themselves powers so they can be like you?

You assholes aren't the solution. Much like the villains out there, you're part of the problem.

Because megalomaniac nutcases that hurt innocent people while trying to hurt us don't contribute to the problem at all. Don't pretend you're not a part of it. You keep the wheels spinning in place just as much as everyone else.

And yeah, we screw up, yeah, we sometimes make things worse, but do you wanna go take my place in saving the world?

Since I'm part of the problem and all, how about I step back and let you handle the insane Kryptonian from another dimension that isn't even affected by our dimension's k-rock OR magic, and the equally insane anti-matter-powered Luthor that built a giant apocalypse machine out of the corpse of an extra-dimensional being. I'm totally unecessary and part of the problem, right? So I'll go chill out at the beach while you take care of it, since my getting involved makes it worse.

I'm sure you can handle that just fine on your own, dad.
