Superhero Quiz (with prizes!):
I Just Wanna Fly


The above picture is a detail from a cover of Normalman, a 1980s parody comic series about the lone un-powered human on a planet where everyone else has powers. Normalman’s best friend was Captain Everything (pictured): an aptly named, incredibly dim crusader whose superpower is the ability to literally conjure up whatever ability the plot required at the time. Other heroes aren’t so lucky: We all know about Superman’s incredbile strength, the Flash’s speed, and Dr. Manhattan’s super blue nudity, but which power would you choose?

To promote next week’s Blu-Ray and DVD release of the box-office hit Watchmen, Warner Home Entertainment have created an amusing survey and contest asking what sort of superpower you would like to have. Contestants are entered into a draw for a Sony Blu-Ray player and a collection of Warner superhero movies.

Despite my best effort, I so far have not been able to win this contest with my own telepathic powers. It might be easier to just take the quiz here. The survey also poses questions about the best locations for secret headquarters, and which Canadians you consider to be superheroes. The smart money is on Terry Fox coming out on top, with Zanta finishing almost dead last.

On the other hand, if you’re interested in what kind of superpowers you wouldn’t want to have, then Cracked.com has put together a list here.
