If you could get bitten by a radioactive animal and develop superpowers, what animal would you choose? | ||

Needless to say I would choose to be bitten by a cat, the stealth, the agility, strength, the ability to jump 5 times my own height, the night vision and hearing 10 times more sensitive than a dogs... easy choice. Although a rat could be good - the ability to withdraw the dangly bits entirely inside the body before a fight could be a distinct advantage... but no - it has to be the cat. | ||

Yes, I'd have to be a cat too. Hey, we could have a cat fight, Weber.  I didn't know rats could do that!  | ||

I'd like to be bitten by a radioactive hedgehog... then curl up in a cosy burrow with some brandy, soup cans and old pulp magazines, confident that my extended hibernation would be proof against all attempted interference by employers, landlords, family, internet trolls and the entire fucking world. (By 'landlords' I don't mean our landlord. I mean people who demand rent. And rent is what they would get. They would be rent like a veil.) | ||

I would be bitten by a radioactive worm. Because then I could turn, and be a conqueror. | ||

I would wish to be a penguin: well dressed, sociable, and living in an exotic locale. Being a bird, yet incapable of flight would be ironically fitting for me, as that sort of "you're X, yet can't Y, no matter how logical the ability might seem to be" seems to be the case now. | ||

A lemur for me. Pretty much all the abilities of cats and monkeys, and twice the agility! | ||

A sloth! Super-powered sleeping! Oh, wait a minute... A shark. Sleek, fast, hyper-violent and without a conscience...assuming I survived the initial bite!! S | ||

I'd rather become something I fear...a cobra, but I'm terrified of the buggers. When I visit my relatives in Hong Kong I go to one of the off city islands and I never go close to the bins....and as for SNAKE PATH you wouldn't get be around there at night for anything. A cobra wouldn't need any super powers they are lethal enough as it is. I couldn't live where Huw lives....56 different kinds. | ||

A giraffe. So I could talk to Mick without a megaphone. | ||

I'd be human but have the fangs of course that pumped venom into the bodies of my enemies. | ||

A spitting cobra might be better, then you've got a range weapon... | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 88.104.135.73 |
Yes. I'd be that! | ||

Ally should be cat. An alley cat. | ||

I'd like to come back as a laughing hyena and then go visit Weber. It's the only laugh he's ever likely to get. | ||

says you who's just made the alley cat joke... | ||

Or maybe I'd be bit by a "slithery dee".... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtDAQBTNef0 | ||

The slithery dee, He came out of the sea; He ate all the others, But he didn't eat me. The slithery dee, He came out of the sea; He ate all the others, But he didn't eat--- SL-U-R-P... | ||

So Craig's superpower would be - being dead. I suppose that would be an improvement... | ||
| Craig (Craig) Username: Craig Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 75.4.255.147 |
No, no... I'm the slithery-dee, that comes out of the sea, so I eat all the others, even you, Weber... the slithery-dee rules Earth, alongside Cthulhu... or maybe he is Cthulhu?... | ||

Sea Turtle. Yeah, I like the sound of that. Radioactive Sea Turtle. | ||

You do need to survive the inital bite from the radioactive animal. Otherwise you become not much more than a glowy green corpse. I'm reminded of that famous superhero the incredible scorchmark and his testimony of how he came to be a superhero. "I decided to be hit by lightning in order to gain my powers. I now use my third degree burns and chronic stutter to fight evil in all it's forms." | ||

Why do think there's no Tiger man? The last guy who tried getting bitten by a radioactive tiger ended up as a dismembered skeleton and assorted lumps of glowing tiger poo. | ||

I'd be a radioactive Antman - partly because they're my favourite creatures but mostly for the super (x10) strength, the virtual indestructibility, the speed, reflexes and agility, the resourcefulness and sheer indomitability in the face of any obstacle, and the ability to spray acid and/or sting coupled with monster mandibles could come in useful, but most of all for their pathological selflessness in putting the good of all above their own selfish interests. They also make cool pets! | ||

Absurd - so we have to suspend disbelief about getting bit by a radioactive animal and having superpowers, but we CAN'T suspend disbelief about surviving the bite of any animal whatsoever?! What kind of crazy rules are these?!?  | ||

It's reality isn't it? You're going to tell me spiderman's not real now aren't you. And I'm just going to laugh in your face because we all know it's real. |
