The One Where Kali Has An Important Question

Alright, before I tell everyone here about my new car (well new to me), or my new cat (which is new to me and basically the world), or my new apartment (which is definitely not new, but I love it anyways), I must ask an important question.

If you were a superhero, what would you do?

I have to write an essay in French on this and I have no earthly idea what I should be. So I want to hear your superhero wants. What would your costume be like? Would you wear a cape? I'm thinking not after watching The Incredible. And most important- what would your tragic flaw be? Every superhero must have one.

So, let me hear it.

Edna: It will be bold! Dramatic!
Bob: Yeah!
Edna: Heroic!
Bob: Yeah. Something classic, like, like Dynaguy. Oh, he had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots...
Edna: [throws a wadded ball of paper at Bob's head] No capes!
Bob: Isn't that my decision?
Edna: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.
Bob: Listen, E...
Edna: November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin!
Bob: Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...
Edna: Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!
Bob: E, you can't generalize about these things...
Edna: Metaman, express elevator! Dynaguy, snagged on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex! [shouts]
Edna: No capes!

Makeup girl. She deftly in the wink of an eye corrects bad makeup, does makeup on men, and in general makes people look better.

Flaw??? gets a bit heavy handed at time and people start to look like clowns.

Weakness in her - if her brushes are taken from her, she can no longer do makeup - so she must protect them no matter what.

oops forgot to comment about cape and costume - she of course has a perfect figure - so black skintight body suit - no cape. Her regular person desguise would be one of those little black smocks that the perfume counter girls wear at Dillards - over the body suit of course. She could have a little tasteful ensignia in beautiful eyeshadow colors "mg" for "makeup girl", near her right shoulder. Her own makeup could be like the wild one you did in your makeup class at Harding.

I've always wanted to have the power of invisibility. I could do good with it, but it would also be fun to use in messing with people. My flaw would have to be that although I can become invisible, I'm still terribly out of shape, so if I'm detected, bad guys could easily outrun me. My costume would be awesome, too. I'd just be naked, cause even though I can disappear, my clothes can't. Pretty sexy, huh?
