What do you mean by "superhero"?

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

For the last two questions, it's not too important what I mean, but for the others — I mean someone who routinely deals with physical and/or supernatural matters beyond a "normal" human's ability to handle, usually but not always through usage of superpowers.

I've dealt with one thing since arriving. Sort of.


...Also, hey, gorgeous. How's it going?

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

You're still new. Do you plan on taking care of more?

Not bad, handsome. Yourself? Enjoy Greece?

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

Paranoid question, but I have to ask. You don't want details about our powers, do you?

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

No. Just the questions listed.

I would have a difficult time getting an answer out of you if you didn't want to answer, I imagine.

[sands-in-mexico.livejournal.com]

Nice little survey.

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

I like to think so.

Sorry. I'm a magician, B.

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

More than understood.

[notthebatman.livejournal.com]

What if you dealt with superhero events but didn't deal with the supernatural? My vigilantes were just men in Kevlar and facepaint.

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

Good point. I knew I would miss an option somewhere. Maybe we could count them as more mundane criminals rather than supervillains.

[shockheadedpete.livejournal.com]

There's no option for police, which a good number a us are. Cops ain't soldiers or superheroes.

[hev-interloper.livejournal.com]

Something else?

[voice]

[notadartboard]

Interesting survey, but I don't know if I can answer any of these questions properly. Do a lot of people end up here without 'powers?'

[hev-interloper.livejournal.com]

That was one of my questions as well.

[voice]

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

I've personally spoken to one who believes that is the case, so I included the option.

[yourentirelife.livejournal.com]

What if you haven't discovered your ability yet?

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

Maybe choosing the "no power" option would suffice for the time being.

[hev-interloper.livejournal.com]

Mind defining 'supervillain'?

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

I would say a supervillain is a criminal whose unlawful endeavors surpass the ability of regular law enforcement or even military (in certain cases) to deal with, usually but not necessarily through the use of superpowers.

I'd like to know why it brings in civilians, but I don't really expect an answer. I filled out your survey in hopes of being some use, at least.

voice;

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'd like to know why, too. I'm afraid it's only the most fledgling step in attempting to discover a pattern, but perhaps others will find it interesting.

I haven't been here all that long, I suppose, but I have to wonder what being a superhero here means. It seems a lot more down-to-Earth that I knew it to be.

voice;

[sibyllant.livejournal.com]

Here, there tend to be less intergalactic or cosmic events to deal with — so far, none, knock on wood. The business with the nuclear warhead and the bombing of the HIVE are the biggest matters we've encountered so far, I think, though perhaps I do Godzilla a disservice by leaving him out. And then there were the zombies, but that's really more a supernatural thing. Otherwise, you're right, things are more down-to-Earth here, dealing with natural disasters and whatnot.

I was, and am, a soldier, fraulein.

[ if she does, she doesn't show it; it's not always advantageous for Barbara Gordon to appear too knowledgeable about things that might be counted unusual. ]

Even without a war to fight?

[thing4telepaths.livejournal.com]

The technical term for someone who got their powers after arriving here is 'mutates'. Research shows their DNA has been altered on a genetic level by some sort of radiation, which grants them their abilities.

[All of Bruno's IC 'Before' answers are, unbeknownst to him, wildly inaccurate. This is probably more hilarious to me than it should be.]
