If I want to be a superhero, what's the first thing I should do?

Answer 1

First, develop some sort of uber-super-duper ability; make sure it's not taken yet. It can't be stupid either, like Matter-Eater Lad's - he eats things. Seriously.

Next, establish your seriously cool superhero name. It should somehow reflect your uber-super-duper ability, but not be too obvious (remember Matter-Eater Lad? Yeah, that was subtle. They're real ones for tact over in The Legion of Super Heroes).

Then, create your fabulously stylish costume. It should be indestructible, accomodate your uber-super-duper ability, have your personal logo on it, and be bordering on obscenely skin-tight, so that it can fight under your clothes. Avoid having your underwear on the outside (it's been done).

Be prepared to go through a lot of clothes as you hurriedly rip them off in an alleyway/phone booth/ behind a car/ in a public restroom so that you can go and save the world in the spur of the moment. By ripping off and ultimately destroying your clothes in order to reveal your costume, your true identity will somehow be protected (How the hell do Superman's colleague's not recognize Clark Kent as Superman?! The only difference in his the appearance of his face are his glasses! COME ON!).

WARNING: We must inform you about the whole "With great power comes great responsibility" thing. No love life for you. You'll put them in danger, so if you really care about them and all that stuff, you'll stay away from them. Yeah, it sucks. Deal.

DON"T LET ANYONE KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE. You're enemies wil find you and kill you and everyone you love. Yep, this goes with the "With great power..." thing again. Screw your personal life; you've a world to save!

Good Luck, and stay away from kryptonite!

Answer 2

If you're not already a mutant, a demigod, or the child of alien parents, you'll need to induce the acquisition of powers. To do this, arrange to be exposed to unusual radiation or a bizarre mix of strange chemicals. If this is not possible or you don't want to take the risk of unpleasant side effects, you'll have to hope that you get kidnapped by a mad scientist or aliens and either genetically re-engineered or fitted with cybernetic attachments. Failing all else, and only if you're in it for the long haul, become an archaeologist and seek mystic artifacts of ancient power; be advised this may extend your lifespan by centuries but you'll be expected to make productive use of that time.

Good luck, and remember to use your powers only for good!

Answer 3

You have to join the Superhero Union, they are a great group of guys and if you get hurt in the process of saving the world from immanent destruction they take great care of you!

Answer 4

Shouldn't you want to become a Superheroin? Not a superhero.
But first, you should jump off a building. It is a fool proof test. If you die, then you failed. Although, if you do fly, then you are on your way. Good Luck!

Answer 5

Since finding some superpowers might be difficult, master martial arts and this sport called parkour, where people learn to do Spiderman-like stuff so you can stop bad guys.


Avoid capes. They get in the way. (Just ask Edna Mode from the Incredibles!)

Answer 6

Develop your mental prowess so you can kick butt on all the evil beings in the world. You can start with the haters here in YA. Are you on the edge of your seat waiting for it?

Answer 7

come up with a cool superhero name!!

Answer 8

Get a awesome costume with mask, a set of hot wheels, and cool weapon gadgets like Batman.

Answer 9

1.) Get a super power such as flying, super powerful...ness lol, etc.
2.) Get a cool costume.. don't get a cape though.. they are tacky
3.) Get a cool name! animal+sex (such as Bat-man or Spider-man) is overdone!
4.) Go save people, animals, banks, whatever
