I just noticed that my weekly fish-and-chips constitutional takes me right in front of the police station. So it's like exercise and aversion therapy all in the same mile. If I could somehow manage to find a route that would also carry me past a maternity clothes shop and an exotic pet store specializing in centipedes, I think that would cover all my issues.

Anyway, as brought up by [livejournal.com profile] fionnabhar in the comments of my last post,
"So the second-most important question of the day is "What is your mutation?", followed closely by "What is your mutant nickname?", eh?" Feel free to comment about that, too, if you like. She has already spoken for invisibility and the name "Wraith".

EDIT: Aw, man. I thought I had a superhero icon, and I don't. Well, that probably goes on the to-do list, then.

I think the name "Wraith" makes me sounds thinner, too, don't you?

If you're invisible, no one can tell if you're thin or not. Unless, of course, you invisibly hip-check people as you walk by. Which is exactly what I would do if I were invisible.

Sarcastro is taken so I'll have to think about it.

I would love to claim Onomatopoeia, but Kevin Smith and Phil Hester actually created an OCD phonetic-compulsive supervillain by that name in his Green Arrow mini-series.

Instead, all I ask if the ability to twist and shape quantum reality with my words. My name would be impossible to pronounce without an additional pair of lungs and an extra mandible, but when spoken correctly it would cause stars to wink out of existence and produce undeniable omens of a forthcoming apocalpyse to microsopic civilizations.

Hehe. "My name is a killing word!" Nicely done.

Area-effect emotion projection. Not my emotion, but an emotion of my choosing -- most often friendly calm and curiosity. Prof. Xavier would find me working in a small theater (paid to sit in the center of the audience, projecting on cue) and living in a surprisingly functional commune. I would eventually be more involved on the diplomatic side of things, helping out with world government mediations and such, but I'd have my combat uses, too. One of the other X-men would rush me through the battle unscathed so I could go give Magneto a hug.

My name would be Serena. Wolverine would refer to me as "that god-damned hippy".

I've always had a fascination with fire...pyro maybe, or maybe something sort of digusting, like acid spit, and then salvitoria... I sort of like that. Yes, I'm going with acid spit and salvitoria, no one is going to fight me for it, I don't think.

I'd be Mr. Squirrel...

Yeah, ok, so it's not too surprising. I'd retain my fairly average humanoid body (with the exception that it might be slightly fuzzier) and have the proportional strength and agility of a squirrel. Beware my Mandibular Might!.

Go with the spit. Pyro's already offcially taken.

I can have a giant spittoon (spitoon?) on my chest... that would be my super power symbol! I really don't do well on drugs. I'm going to go curl on the couch now.

I'd go for a sizzling droplet as my super-symbol, personally. But hey. It's a free mutant world, right?

Didn't have one yet. I was trying to decide between claiming my entropy acceleration abilities as a mutant power, or saying my mutant power would be subsonics in my voice so that I would sound exceedingly reasonable and/or persuasive. Either one of those things would be fine, but both would probably be overkill.

Or, alternately, I might be Nightcrawler:

He was inexplicably missing. And the given excuse of Alan Cumming's uh-uh, no way, no how, not me, can't make me, never puttin' on that blue shit ever again was strangely unsatisfying within the story line.

*shrug*
There was all this "Oh, no, can't have Alan Cumming, he's teh Gay!" stuff going around when the casting was announced for this one. But one would think that if that were it, they'd have balked at Ian.
I think the official word on it was that they called him, and he didn't want to do it, but I've read his interviews, where he was like, nobody ever called me. So I don't know, but I am a little embarrassed to have followed the whole thing even as closely as I did. It's all fanboy, and stuff.
You know, though, in the end of the second film, all the X-men are in the president's office, and Bobby and Rogue have the uniforms on, like they're part of the team now, but Kurt still has on his own clothes. So I was going to read that as the story line wasn't actually going to involve Nightcrawler anymore.
Although I don't know why it wouldn't have. I mean, Kitty Pryde, for the gods' sake, was in the third film, and she is the lamest mutant ever. I guess it wouldn't have worked as well to have Kurt as a possible alternate love interest for Bobby though. He's so Catholic.

I did read interviews with AC where he talked about how long the make-up took to get on and off and how irritating it was to his skin--not just the blue, but the tattooing. He swore after the second one he wouldn't do it again, but then I heard rumors in pre-production for X3 that he was in, so who knows.

Kid Zen

My mutation would be the ability to erase neuroimprints and rewire them as well, along with some limited telepathic features. Code named Kid Zen, I was kicked off the X-men for rewiring Sabretooth's sexuality in the midst of battle, causing him to give up his ways as a mutant terrorist while he safely rechanneled his pent up aggresion into the leather bars of downtown NYC.

Professor StarTrek* found it an unethical violation of Victor Creed's freewill however and I was forced to resign from the team (that and I wouldn't wear tights- marketing be damned!).

However no 'evil' mutant has fucked with me since!

*-By which I mean Xavier.

My mutation would be electricity, tied in with my emotions. When I got angry/cranky/pissed, and later once I had it under concious control, my eyes would light up with lightnings and I would shoot sparks out of my extremities. This would, also, require a light-speed metabolism, thus a light-speed operating default mode, meaning I could move like the wind, so to speak, and never need to rest, would only need to "re-charge" - from a battery, outlet, car, even a person. And the sparks coming out of my feet would help me levitate, and move about while levitating, while causing havoc to any person/item/locale directly below me. This would obviously leave a trail, but I'd be so quick no one would be able to catch me.

And my name would be Lightning. (Mwahahahahahaha)

And, obviously, Wolverine would be....edgy, around me. Yeah. X, and Jean Grey, would likely play us against each other to keep us in line/behaved.

And you'd like to play against him, wouldn't you now?

Brilliant! Also, after your stint with the X-men, you could have a profitable career in therapy.

She'd like to get edgy with him, for certain.

Sadly enough, I'm too old to be chasing high School girls these days. I don't look good in matching silver bracelets and, in fact, tend to wish DOOM upon creepy (in my case almost) 30-ish guys that would.

Alas, if only she was a decade older!

Never fancied being a redhead, but...
