Well, as I have nothing better to do I thought I would start a thread of random, off-topic questions, basically for people waiting for others to post or generally at a loss of things to do.
Here's the rules. I'll start with a question, then the next person answers the question and then asks another (no inappropriateness and try to stray away from any personal questions please). It doesn't have to be deep or meaningful just random.
The next person then answers both questions and asks one of their own. After 5 questions the next person may discount the first one if they wish (but are welcome to answer as well), thus people further down the won't have a massive list to answer (ie no more than 5). If there is one in a list you don't want to answer you are welcome to discount it or choose an earlier one. I have no idea if this will work but, hey, lets give it a go.

1st Question

If you had a superpower what would it be? (no need to elaborate if it's not complicated)

[I'll post again later with my answer and the answers to the other questions]

If you had a superpower what would it be?
Mechanical Empathy - Able to easily interface with machines, computers, and other electronic devices, and intuitively understand their function and inner workings. Must touch them to do so, and this ability does not work instantly; but the longer one interacts with a device, the deeper one's connection to and understanding of it becomes. Automatic doors will anticipate your approach, your hovercar will start for you, and your alarm always turns itself off when you want to keep sleeping.

The superhero I use this power for is a cyborg - in his version of the near future, it's impossible for the human brain to control an entirely cybernetic body, the vast amount of sensory input proving too complex for the most trained volunteers - and even metahumans with mental abilities - to handle, Melded with the body's control circuits on a neural level, though, his ability has allowed him to accomplish the impossible: to control it as naturally as if it were his own flesh and blood body.

Most of the public and his opponents believe he's merely a robot built by some clandestine, benevolent genius to protect his city, an assumption he has no qualms promoting to protect his identity.

Next: If you were a superhero, who/what would your archnemesis be?

I'll take this one, I've always been a big fan of arch-nemeses.

I've got two answers. The first is probably an old friend of mine. Our split would begin over minor intellectual matters and then slowly evolve, along with our powers and the motives of the world around us, into this huge idealistic split. Not free will, but rather...my opponent would be a supremely logical foe who disregards the natural order and believes that mankind's natural tendency is towards evil. His power would be Telekinesis. I'm not sure what mine would be.

The other is a bit different. He'd the classic liege knight, a warrior whose sworn an oath or is somehow devoted to the main villain and will not turn back. His power would be...hmm...Corpukinesis? The ability to manipulate the bodies of others. He would say that he doesn't have mind-control because 'he has no right to decide the wills of others, but he will use all tools available to him to complete his mission'. I can even picture our final battle; he'd be killing himself to maintain this huge army of people while his master finishes his plan, and I'd have to try and get to him through this horde that doesn't stop fighting even if their bones break (though they do start screaming).

And I've got to come up with a question, eh? Hmm...

If you were a superhero, who would your love interest be? Would they be a superhero?

I think the idea is that you answer all preceding questions, up to five. Not just the last question asked.

No, I'm not answering any of the questions thus far posed. I'm such a rebel.

T_T Chaos you meany

If you're going to answer at that length that's fine if you only want to answer one. The only reason I did the 5 thing was so others could answer earlier questions so as to avoid such moments as 'aww I wanted to answer than one' and 'hey you stole my question' Anyways as I have now posted I'll tell you my answers. One note, what's with the super-hero thing we've got going here?

1ST Question: If you had a superpower what would it be?

Voltage Manipulation. The ability to minutely control potential difference to various effects. This would cover a wide range of abilities, aside from the coolest of them all, the ability to shoot lightning bolts from your hands. Mind and body control (the central nervous system runs on electricity after all), levitation through electrostatic charges and the ability to power entire cities (useful economically as you could sell the electricity). Yes this is something I've thought about more than a sane/non-geeky person

2ND Question: If you were a superhero, who/what would your archnemesis be?

My brother. I wouldn't know of course and we would live in the same house with neither of us knowing who the other one was. This would allow for comedic covering up of identity and that moment of unmasking for both parties in something that goes a little like this
"I am your brother!"
"Nooooooooo!"
"Hahaha"
"Wait I have something to say, I am your brother!"
"Nooooooooo!"

3RD Question: If you were a superhero, who would your love interest be? Would they be a superhero?

Naturally I would have a secret base, and you know what's lacking in most secret bases? A secretary. I mean it's all well and good the hero taking calls but if there's lots of emergencies he's not going to be able to take it all down quickly enough to save anyone. I think you can see where I'm going with this. Yes my character would fall for his secretary, the slightly geeky, repressed but otherwise quite hot if she cuts loose that has a crush on my heroic persona but thinks my real one is a dweeb temp working in the base as a tea boy that just doesn't happen to be around when all the action is going on. She would of course eventually discover my secret and, after a period of distrust and denial, fall madly in love with me.

My god, I'm such a geek. *Cries into arm*

Now following the theme for now (as much as I think we should probably start moving away)

4TH Question: Where would your secret base be located and how would you get in and out?
