I have no feeling in my fingertips or penis


Every now and then I remember that during the heyday of the X-Men in the 90's Shadowcat was supposed to be 14 . I think that's why I was never super impressed with the X-Men , because aside from Logan their gimmick was they were all teenagers - and as you know one of my many pet peeves is as protagonists .

And what does that say about Professor X that he was basically training soldiers to fight in a race war ?

I assume that's why in Star Wars they had to make an<b> army </font></b>of clones - because what other military force is going to accept a as their commanding officer ?

Right now Marvel is doing a big "Marvel Next" push where they're starting up all these new teenage superheroes that are the successors to your Iron Mans and your Spidermen and whatnot . I get what they're trying to do , but I didn't like reading about when I was a so I don't know if it works or not . Clearly they whole " with a special destiny" thing must work because they do it all the time .

Dreaming that you can fly is a common dream that I have never had . If I wanted to be cynical (and I do) I could say that's probably because I don't care about freedom and possibility - which I what I assume said dreams are about , if dreams meant anything which they don't .

There's a show called Drop the Mic which I have never watched but I still feel confident saying is the worst show ever created . But from the footage I have scene it probably does accomplish one good thing . There are probably people that think any black person can , and that show dispels that stereotype 100% . Because everyone of every race on that show is TERRIBLE .

One of the bad things about working in IT is that many IT people are robots . One of the good things about working in IT is that many IT people are robots .

Such as the other day two of my co-workers were working together on something and dude 1 kept interrupting dude 2 and after a few minutes dude 2 goes "You keep interrupting me and it's frustrating" and dude 1 says "Oh sorry" and stopped doing it . The end . Robots !

When "normal" people are in that situation one of two things happen . Either the person being interrupted says nothing and just shuts down and then spends the rest of the day fuming and sending angry e-mails to their side piece OR they say something snarky and it turns into a massive hissy-fit .

I was doing some research on OpenStack the other day and like many IT platforms they give all their components wacky names that appeal to IT robots . It sounded like a Superhero team to me . So it shall be so ;

Nova - This is tricky because there's also a superhero named Nova , although he was a minor , I mean the New Warriors ? Who gave a shit about them ? Nobody . Not even Tom DeFalco's mom . Anyway this is a new Nova . A nova is a flare up of light that occurs when two binary stars do . . . something , they're not really sure . So this Nova will actually be twins with the standard twin telepathy that can generate blinding flashes of light and also visual illusions . Only one of them heroes at a time though , while the other lives a normal life . It's like the Prestige . Kinda .

Neutron - I'm not aware of a superhero named Neutron but there has to have been one . Anyway this is someone else . A neutron is the part of the atom that has no electric charge . So Neutron is immune to electricity . Which isn't much of a power but he's the leader and the leader is always kind of lame power-wise . He's got a military background and is smart and shit .

Cinder - There was a fire-monster in Killer Instinct called Cinder . This is someone else though . This is a woman who worked in an arcade (remember those ? ) and played Killer Instinct all the time and always played Cinder (even though he sucked) and was playing said game when the building was hit by a radioactive lightening tornado and she was granted not fire-powers like Cinder , but rather the powers of whatever video game character she last played . She calls herself Cinder because her name is actually Cinderella . Because her parents were Disney freaks .

Glance - Photographic memory , obviously . Super-vision , not super-super though you know , like as good as hawk (which is really damn good) . Can read body language so well that he can avoid most attacks - which is why he hates robotic enemies as they have no body language . Martial artists , sharp-shooter , etc.

Swift - Bird dude , you know the bird swift ? Everyone assumes he's a super-speed guy like the Flash or Quicksilver and it drives him insane . SWIFT IS A BIRD !!! he shouts . Standard bird-person abilities .

Horizon - Teleporter , and like all teleports is boring and has little to no characterization . What do you do ? I take the team where they need to be to do the stuff . Oh , so you're like a human bus ? Yeah . . . . yeah . . . .

Trove - This dude can store stuff in extra-dimensional space , gear and weapons and such but what he really loves is fashion and being a charming man about town . He has a responsibility to use his powers to help the team but what he really wants to be doing is drinking martinis and doing cool guy stuff .

Dang , there's like 20 components to this thing - I want to do them all but this is already boring so I shall refrain . Respectfully .

Not to be critical ... Okay. I intend to be critical but not mean. If you had saved the Superhero schtick for another post, you could have done all the components.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Sure , but is that desirable ? I think a post where I create 20 superheroes might be even less well received than my anti-college football rant
