If you were a superhero, what would you want your power be? And would you tell anyone about it?

I used to read a lot of comic books.

[And by 'used to' he really means right before he came here.]

I guess I've just always liked superheroes. They have powers, gifts, things that make them special. But there's always pain too. They lose people that they love, or they have to hide their true identity. Their lives are never perfect.

Maybe I should've started by asking if you would WANT to be a superhero.

Someone with superhuman powers, who uses them for good.

A mask helps.

Why a mask?

[invis]

To hide their identity from people who don't understand, or from their nemesis.

If they're helping, why don't people understand?

[invis]

It's just what people seem to do sometimes. If someone's different, if they can do something unusual like...come back from the dead or turn invisible, people fear them. They think they're freaks.

Are they good?

[invis]

The freaks? Sometimes. Better than normal people sometimes.

That's what matters.

Thank you for that. You don't know how much it means to me.
