DOOM has spoken.

[featherynscale]

DOOM has been kind enough to give me an identity in the DOOMniverse, which I deeply appreciate, as comparing people to comic book characters is one of those core geek activities, and I always like to be in on them. As it turns out, I seem to be Moondragon.

I'm fine with that, really. I mean look at her. She's a priestess and a scientist, a hero and a villain, possessed by demons, bitchslapped by gods, an admirer of men, an admirer of women, massively arrogant, and had her ability to reproduce revoked on the grounds that she wasn't human enough and oughtn't to spawn. I am down with all of those things. She's primarily a mentalist/telepath sort of character (though, like everyone else in the Marvel Universe, was trained by monks and is also a martial arts master and yogi -- I'm not much good at that part, personally), so that sort of works.

And, she's a comic character I'm actually familiar with -- I had a few Avengers books when I was a kid, and I remember thinking then as I'm thinking now, "Man, they will let anybody be an Avenger. First-string heroes, second-string heroes, gods, magicians, third-string heroes, superhumans who can't decide what hero to be (somewhere in there, Ant Man turned into Yellowjacket, and I never could figure out how), superhumans that can't decide what gender they are (I fortunately did get the issue where guy Cloud turned into girl Cloud [or was that the other way around?), reformed supervillains, unreformed supervillains, any damned body can be an Avenger." "So you used to be Madame McEvil? Sure, come join our team! There's a place for you in the Avengers!" Remarkably equal-opportunity, those Avengers. I like that.

However, I am not so down with the outfit. If I'm going to be Moondragon, Moondragon is going to have to wear a damned lot more clothes.

Man, they will let anybody be an Avenger.

And here I'm thinking of Squirrel Girl from the notorious Great Lakes Avengers. Buy hey, even she beat up Dr. Doom.

Um, beat up Doom, I don't think so!

Squirrel Girl

You are obsessed with Squirrel Girl -- I mean, I know, most unlikely hero ever, but I think I have been involved in ten conversations about Squirrel Girl in my life, and nine of them have been with you. :-P

Yup, it's an obsession.

Clothes and hair.

No cape.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

The cape is... okay. Although, as the Ranting Cow on Space Ghost Coast to Coast tells us, capes look like crap in space. So that could go, too. And hair is really sort of optional. I threaten to shave my head on a regular basis.

The Incredibles gives good reason for no cape yet I love them.

Keep the outfit, fix the hair.

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Go watch "The Incredibles", then report back on the great wisdom that is "no cape!".

You in that outfit would probably keep your other thirds awake for *days*...in a good way. [grin]

Speaking of superheroes, are the plans for the game firming up any yet?

Well, that would be nice.

are the plans for the game firming up any yet?
::hangs head::
No, I've been too busy to give it a lot of consideration. I need to figure out some way to manage my time so that I can get all the shit done that I have to get done, and yet still have time to do things like run games. I'm still working on that, though.

[duane-kc.livejournal.com]

Hey, I know all about being too busy to *breathe*. I avoid it like the plague. Take your time, get what's important to you done first.

[bloominglotus.livejournal.com]

I think your icon says it best.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

I dunno, she even kinda looks like you...

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I know, yo. Me and the Marvel Universe women, we have huge freaking heads, unreasonable boobs, and much more shoulder than hip. No good reason.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

And yet, good.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Hey, if it works for you, that works for me.

[karinablack.livejournal.com]

Neat char. I kinda like her outfit tho ;)

On the other hand, more clothes:
