Stupid Superpowers
A few years back when I lat-moved to Intel, that X-Men movie with Phoenix in it came out while I was in school. The one where Magneto was building an army of mutants. I forget the full title.
Anyway, in light of the films release, me and some of my buddies there on Red Team started coming up with the ever-infamous "Stupid Mutant Powers" only we pitched them now as interviews with Magneto to join up. I'm bored enough to reminisce about these kinds of things, so I thought I'd share some of them.
Magneto: So, what can you do? (All the interviews start with that line)
Little Girl Scout: *marches up and kicks Magneto in the shin*
Magneto: *immediately recoils, hopping about on one foot for a bit before falling on his ass and doing the Peter Griffin* WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!
Magneto: So, what can you do?
Plain-looking fellow: *reaches out and touches a glass of water on Magneto's desk... nothing happens*
Magneto: *curious, he sips the water and looks suddenly amazed* Why... it's AQUAFINA!!
Change-water-to-water man: *touches the glass again*
Magneto: *another sip* Poland Springs!!
CWTWM: *again*
Magneto: *sip* Dasani!! AMAZING!!
Magneto: So, what can you do?
Guy from Queer Eye: That cape is HIDEOUS!!
Magneto: *recoils, clutching his chest as though his heart were wounded* My... my PRIDE!!
(later on, on the front lines)
Hurt-your-pride man: HEY XAVIER!! The bald-headed look is SO last week!!
Xavier: *clutches his chest and falls out of his chair as though having a heart attack* No...!
Magneto: So, what can you do?
Galactus: *devours the sun*
Magneto: Wha... HEY!!! WE NEEDED THAT!!
Galactus: Sorry...
Magneto: Put it back this instant!!
Galactus: I can't... once I eat it, it's gone!
Magneto: Well that's just great!! Now we're all gonna die!! What the hell kind of power is that anyway? What am I going to do with someone who eats PLANETS?!
Galactus: *looking defeated and ashamed*
Magneto: Damnit, now we're all going to freeze to death. Mystique!! Follow this guy around with a plastic baggie.
There were dozens of these, but those were the ones that made me laugh the most. So I open the forum - as I'm sure has happened dozens and dozens of times before - to your best suggestions for stupid superpowers.
