If I Were a Superhero...(yeah, we're going there.)

Don't tell me you haven't thought about it before. I know I have.

What if you were a superhero? What would you do? Who would you be?

I pretty much know exactly who and what I would be. So let's get started!

Powers (because that's really all anyone wants, isn't it?): The ability to inflict pain on someone. . . just by staring at them. Yes, it's epic, and no, I didn't think of it myself. Believe it or not, someone has actually told me that if I had a crazy power, this is pretty much what it would be. Now, this power is pretty dark, so I would cast a spell on myself that makes sure whatever pain I inflict, I feel half of that pain. It would keep me from killing everyone I wanted to kill (aka: a lot of people) and keep me from using this power whenever I wanted (aka: ALL THE TIME). This leads us to:

Name: I've been tossing this around for a very long time. The name I think would fit perfectly is more in line with a villain, so Deathstare (badass, I know) is out. I would have to then go with something like Glare or Scowl (thank you James Harris). The name has to reflect a stand-offish attitude because, really, this is one of the most stand-offish powers imaginable. No one would want to look at you lest they get caught in your stare of doom! <--- Literally the best sentence I have ever written.

Costume: Here's another one I'm stuck on. It would be dark gray (because everyone wears black and I would like to be the hipster of superhero costumes), and not nearly as slutty as some other costumes (I SEE YOUR DEEP V-NECK VIXEN! YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE WITH THOSE PANTS!). Other than that, I'm pretty lost. I would wear pants, because who wants their skirt blowing up while trying to look scary? But, I would definitely wear heels. They are a necessity when doing anything badass. I have no idea as to a logo, possibly just an eye? This is pretty up in the air as of right now, any suggestions are welcome.

I can't put a backstory on here because I would have to use my own name, and I'm not even sure I would want to be Daryn Orr and a superhero. If running around in tights was half my life, the other half hopefully wouldn't be going to high school and fighting with an ex-boyfriend (although, he could be my villain? but, sometimes he's nice so that's not an option. boy, are we complicated). I would want to be someone else entirely. New real name, new crazy origin. So let's skip!

Love Interest (because it has to be done): I would almost definitely go for Orion (by the way, this is off of the Justice League animated show, because I would want to be in their continuity, considering all of the crazy stuff going on at DC with this "new 52"). Yes, he's kind of a jerk, but you can see he cares. And having a bully on your side isn't a bad thing, especially when really bad guys are coming at you with really big guns. Besides, one of Orion's only lines is "Talk. While you still have a jaw." That is the definition of being badass.

Well, that's pretty much all I got. I just did this because a couple of my other posts on this blog were pretty deep, and I'm not just a crazy depressed angry chick all the time (not that anyone's looking at this who doesn't know me).

Wow, I write a lot of parentheses.
