Am I the only person who reads Ian's signature as if it were part of his messages? Ian would make a great pharaoh.

Strength -1
Intelligence - 3
Energy projection- 6
Fighting ability - 1
Durability - 7( only because I had 7 children without any pain medication.)
Speed - 1

we should consider modifying these superhero categories. specifically i think "energy projection" is too broad and should be subdivided. for example maybe telepathy should be a separate category. if everybody agrees on a particular change, then let's just edit the original post in this thread.

Yeah, good call. We were just going by what's in the Marvel Encyclopedia, but I don't think there's any reason why we can't form our own categories. If there's a specific power that falls under a category not listed, post your ideas together with the 7-point scale for that new category.

Man, with all the new ideas floating around, I wouldn't be surprised if this simple little discussion leads to bigger and better things! I'd be happy to act as a reference for anyone who'll be submitting a resume to DC or Marvel in the near future.

Well, I just wanted to send a shout out and express my gratitude at being invited to join the team here at huntingtonfamily.org.

I shall be forthcoming with my thoughts as time frees itself within the next few days. And as my brain cells once more activate.

But I did want to agree that Ian would make a good Pharoah. It has been written, now if you will all join with me in saying it . . .

Good. Now I feel like a part of something big.
Whaaa Happened?

I think I would be. . .

Strength (2 1/2)
Intelligence (3)
Energy (5)
Fighting (3)
Durability (3 1/2)
Speed (3 1/2)

I hope we are allowed to do halves.
