Becoming a super hero?

Question

I am thinking of giving up my job in the Chinese takeaway and becoming a Super Hero to save the world from destruction and mayhem. My question is what sort of costume should I wear and should I knit it myself or wait to see if there are any bargain suits in the January sales.

Answer 1

Umph.....I've quit my job and become a psychotic, maniacal evil-doer. Now that I have your IP address I will hunt you down, capture you and place you in some complex trap while I leave the room to take over the world. You stand no chance. I will rule the world!!!! All will bow before me, as long as I can stay ahead of you and those meddling kids. And, I gotta make sure not to make the same mistake as before by building a machine with a knob that can be turned over into the red dangerous area.Thereby, blowing up my secret island.

PS: I got my costume from: Costumes by Edna***Chic Yet Functional***

I don't have her address with me. Contact Mr. Incredible-all you good-doers hang out together anyway.

Answer 2

No. Knit yourself a suit. All costumes in the January sales will be from other Super heroes, and if you dress up as another superhero, someone else will get the credit for your wonderful work!

Answer 3

Don't give up your job at the chinese. You'll need a mild mannered alter ego to keep a lid on all your heroic antics everyone knows that, even the bad guys!

B A(yours truly) would suggest a multi-polymer (unamed) unstable molecule based material that maintains a cool temperature in the summer and traps thermal energy during the winter. It would hardly tear and is easy to repair in the ever increasing probability of multiple badguy skirmishes.

Anywho's B A digress's. B A's real intentions are to eliminate all superheroes, anti heroes, unlikely heroes and she-roes (except for barbed wire, va va voom) in a bid to succeed where pinky and the brain failed. Popluation control is also on the agenda too much damn people breathing B A's air. B A's plan is foolproof, even a fool could accomplish it in 4 easy steps.MWAHAHAHAHAhAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. And you all thought B A's vocabulary was limited to "you crazy fool". Prepare for the end you CRAZY FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!

That's strange, I was thinking of giving up my job as a cashier at the all night petrol station and becoming a king. Or a lumberjack. I went to the job centre after I couldn't find any appropriate vacancies in the Evening Standard, but they threw me out. Perhaps that is where I went wrong - I didn't prove I was serious by wearing appropriate regalia and showing them my sceptre (in the case of a king), or my chopper (for lumberjack vacancies).

I will buy the appropriate apparel tomorrow morning and return to the job centre before whipping out my equipment.

Hopefully I will be able to report on the success of buying immediately from the comfort of my padded cell, should they take the restraints off long enough for me to draw you an e-mail in green crayon

Answer 5

If your giving up you chinese takeaway job to fight crime, than just keep the uniform you have and adapt it. Also Often ebfore christmas you buy any two batman/superman props you get the third half free in some stores

I never worried about my costume, my mum made it for me.

Answer 6

If your thinking of being a super hero maybe you should consider being involved in a horrific accident which leaves you with a mysterious super power. Perhaps falling in the deep fat fryer at work and getting covered with boiling cooking fat infused with mono sodium glutamate will do the trick.

Answer 7

i think you should get a pro to knit it honey. the january sales are just full of the crap they couldnt sell at christmas. knitting it yourself could be a disaster, and if a pro knits it then maybe they can coordinate the colour to match your hair/eyes/skin tone, etc..it could be fantastic...and just think...if you became a superhero, you could even just come on here and get "best answer" for answering everyone's silly questions...WOW...

Hmm... here are some useful websites that might help:

I think the January sales may be a good start though, some great bargins and some 'odd' stuff usually surfaces!

Answer 9

Have you thought about contacting your local mad scientist / head of a multi corporation? The might be looking for a sap, sorry volunteer, to genitically meld with their latest weapon / rocket pack ????

I know it worked for Steve Rogers (Captain America) Tony Stark (Ironman) Logan (Wolverine).

You can buy a paint on latex rubber. You could paint your suit on your body, and then peel it off once it had set. You'd then have a skin tight suit that shows off all your rippling muscles and washboard stomach. (You do have these, don't you?)
