What is the source of your superpowers?

[Leemaster777]

So yeah, "What superpower would you want?" threads pop up all the time here. But you know what people NEVER mention in those threads? How exactly they GOT those powers.

Did you live a bit too close to a nuclear plant as a kid? Were you hit by a bus, and are now half-bionic? Did you train for years under Pai Mei? Were you injected with some strange chemicals in the name of science? Or does your father just HAPPEN to be Zeus?

Me, I'm going with space radiation. Hell, it worked on the Fantastic Four, it'd work on me.

Also, 1000th post!

I was bitten by a radioactive spider. That was also bitten by a radioactive spider.

That's twice as much spider! I'm Super Spider-Man!

My unfathomable amount of awesomeness is the source of my powers.

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

I was bitten by a radioactive human.

I bought them at ebay.

 

[Coldman42]

I found this green ring lying on my door step one day. Not sure why but now I can do all kinds of stuff better then Ryan Reynolds could. Its quite fun actually.

I stumble upon a radioactive meteorite which somehow transfer that energy onto me (my power is a power armour like Iron Man but it's fuel by my own energy aka the meteorite radiation).

 

[SckizoBoy]

My parents' awesome DNA, evolutionary aberration FTW...

I was granted them when the ambulance I was being born in crashed into a Mini.

Well, that's what actually happened. The Supersarcasm and Punslinging powers just developed naturally.

 

[SinorKirby]

Built a high-tech suit of armor and donned it in the name of good.

Hey, Iron Man and War Machine can't be the only armored heroes.

 

[God's Clown]

My brain got transplanted into a super body.

I got them off my sister .... true story.

When we were kids she called me a super twat and have done my best since that day to live up to that name.

 

[ShakerSilver]

I got mine by carving a ring around myself, cutting a happy face into the back of my left thigh, and enchanting the ancient words of the mighty captha:

Spoiler: Ancient writings here!

(seriously, how many times do I have to refresh to get something writable, captha!? >_<)

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Struck by lightning whilst plugging an ethernet cable into the wall. Now I have all of the information on the internet in my brain! And I can think at broadband speed.

 

[SD-Fiend]

god wanted to try something out.

 

[standokan]

I found a half naked kid in the basement I defeated him in a battle of wits and then stole his ring.

 

[DatedSandwich]

I'm Charlie Sheen. So I guess...the 7 gram rocks?

 

[Phoenix09215]

I got bitten by a radioactive superman.

 

[HeavyWeaponsSpy]

I was bitten by radioactive computer. I am now infinitely intelligent.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I carved runes on my stomach, invoking elves and such. I then traded them for a wish.
