My hero

While the public's love affair with Watchmen is fading - big time* - I'm still pretty geeked out over the film. So much so that I've decided to become a superhero, with a little help from the Hero Factory.

Once I created my superhero, the site dubbed me "The Talented Karate Ninja," but that's just silly. I see my hero being something more along the lines of "The Platonic Friend." What are my super powers? Behold:

• Cloak of Non-Threatening (affects women AND their boyfriends)


• Mad Listening Skillz


• Super Respectfulness


• Keen Mixtape Prowess


• Infinite Sweetness


• Extreme Misplaced Feelings


• Dark Brooding (out of public eye)

Now if you'll excuse me, I must patrol the streets.

*For you nerds who haven't seen it yet, please heed übergeek Patton Oswalt's words.
