Guest bblackmoor Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Superheroes! We see them flying overhead, we thrill to their exploits on television, and we dodge the debris of their climactic battles on the way to our mundane workaday jobs. But are you a superhero? You might be a superhero, and not even realize it! You used to have to pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars to find out if you were a superhero, but no more! Now with this easy, scientific test from Redgrave Labs, you can find out if you are a superhero in the comfort of your very own hidden base! Instructions: It's simple! Just answer each question as honestly as you can, choosing the answer which is closest to describing you and your habits. Once you have completed the test, add the point value of each answer. If your total is 100 or greater, you are a superhero! It's just that easy! 1) Do you have a distinctive name? No. (0) Yes. (20) Yes, and it includes a color or an animal. (30) Yes, and it includes a poisonous animal. (-10) Yes, but people mainly use it while stuffing me into garbage pails. (-20) 2) Do you have powers beyond those of ordinary mortals? No. (0) Yes. (30) Yes, but that's because I am not an ordinary mortal. (40) No, but all of my friends do, and I am smarter than they are. (50) Yes, and my powers can all be purchased from Sharper Image. (-10) 3) Do you subscribe to a higher moral code? No. (0) Yes: to defend the innocent. (50) Yes: to avenge the injured. (40) Yes: to punish the guilty. (30) Yes: to make a million dollars by the time I am 50. (20) Yes: to avenge myself on those who doubted my genius. (-10) 4) Have you ever tried to rule the world? No. (0) Yes, but I failed. (-20) Yes, and I succeeded. (-10) Yes, and I am a CEO of a major corporation. (-20) Yes, and I am a politician. (-30) 5) Have you ever destroyed anything as large as a city (or larger)? No. (0) Yes, but I had a really good reason. (-10) Yes, but it was an accident. (10) Yes, but it was blocking my view of Venus. (-30) 6) Do you wear a distinctive costume? No. (0) Yes. (30) Yes, and it has a cape. (40) Yes, and this is Mardi Gras week. (20) Yes, and it has one or more skulls on it. (-10) Yes, and I am a professional athlete. (-20) 7) Did you cheat on this test? No. (10) Yes. (-10) Yes, but only because a supervillian is holding hostages and ordered me to cheat, and I need to buy some time while I think of a way to save everyone. (30) Now add up your score. Is it 100 or more? Congratulations! You're a superhero! Now get out there, and do some good! [edit: added question 7] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobGreenwade Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Re: Are YOU a superhero? I got 140, but even if my clothing (pretty distinctive when the weather is cooler than it is right now) doesn't constitute an "outfit" I still get 110. Watch out, evildoers, for The Ferret.

Spidey88 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Re: Are YOU a superhero? I got 130 myself. I did stop a crime in progress last week, so I guess there's supporting evidence for my results - I chased down a guy I caught breaking into a truck, and the cops hauled him away in cuffs soon after. Very satisfying. When a co-worker asked why I did it, I responded "why wouldn't I? It's the right thing to do. What else would I have done?"

Inu Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Re: Are YOU a superhero? It's always weird to click on a thread and go 'whoa, when did he get back?' Yesterday, I open the 'cafferty's comments' thread, and for a moment, I think it's necromancy, 'cause there's AgentX. Still couldn't shake the feeling that I was reading an old thread!

Doctor Agenda Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Re: Are YOU a superhero? I got 50 points for my moral code. If I start calling myself Dr. Agenda in public and wear a costume with a cape, apparently that would be enough to do the trick. If you see me on a Reals site you'll know what happened.
