Soooooooooooooooo. I feel like a lot of times when we post on here it's something serious, or someone left, someone arrived, you get it. And honestly, I've got no problem with that cause it makes sense! But how about some more icebreakers?

FanPort got me thinking cause obviously all the locals are crazy about superheroes, and even non-superheroes, but what about you guys? If you come from a world with superheroes like me, you've got a pretty good head start on everyone else. Still, everyone's probably got some kind of hero, right?

And now I'm sure you're wondering, "Stephanie, who is your favorite superhero?"

Well, drumroll please...

[The drumroll is so she can think of a good answer. It's not working.]

Uh. I had a poster of Superboy when I was in high school. Wait, is Superboy here? I just realized how weird this could potentially get...

I've never heard of Superboy. Is he a powerfully ally of justice?

[ She claps her hands together. ]

I admired the heroines I used to see on the TV as a child. They were always so strong and beautiful, but dedicated to helping others and getting justice for those who could not defend themselves.

[Big sigh of relief offscreen because Superboy's not here. She really doesn't want Kon to hear about this.]

Yeah, he is. Although that's not the only reason I had a poster of him... Like you said, strong and beautiful.

We're talking heroes, huh? I never heard of any Superboy, but I know who my top pic'd be. Back home, there was this guy named Billy. He was pretty much The Hero and a really super guy! He... really inspired me in heroing and adventuring and all that biz.

I know what you mean. Well, about inspiration. I know a hero named Billy, but pretty sure we're not thinking of the same one...

What kind of hero was he, though? Powers, no powers...?

For one from a world without that phrase, it is rather ambiguous.

[ The boy(?) with the deep black eyes pauses, considering. ]

How would you define a "superhero"?

I could write a thesis paper about that question, so let's keep it simple. Someone who saves people and wears a costume?

Back home there's never been a Guardian so loved as Saint-14. Can't blame 'em, he was a pretty great guy. Total weirdo, but good. Need some space pirate skulls bashed in? Call in Saint.

But really? My favorite, of course, is me. If you're not your #1 fan, who is?

Edited 2019-07-04 18:22 (UTC)

I'm guessing humbleness isn't one of your superpowers.

Anyways, I think my mom's my #1 fan, not me. Not like I'm a hero or anything, though. But you are, right?

[ Superboy, huh? Interesting. She remembers a couple super people at one point or another, after the other one died, though it could be a complete coincidence. It's not exactly the most original name in the world. ]

My affection for certain flying rodents aside, Wonder Woman. I've always been a sucker for a strong woman.

[It's hard to tell if Selina remembers her or not in this format, but that probably means this isn't the place to ask. She misses the days where the multiverse messed with the big names and not her, but oh well.]

Ooooh, nice choice. I don't know what was up with me as a kid, always Superman and Batman... not much of her, though.

Not that we ever referred to them as superheroes... but my heroes growing up were the first Paladins of Voltron, my father and his friends — the first Defenders of the Universe. It was their shining example that made me hope I could become a Paladin myself, someday.

It's one of the reasons I find FanPort so endearing. I can't help but hope that some of them will be inspired in the same way.

That's awesome. I feel weird saying same cause I looked up at Superman and then became a college student, but you get the idea, right? Heroes inspire people!

Did you see anything cool from your fans? Or do a panel or autographs or whatever? Since it sounds like you're a hero yourself now.

I'm from a world with super heroes, too! I guess it would probably be cheating if I said my favourite heroes were my team, huh? [ There's a tinkling little laugh. ] Since I don't want to cheat, I should probably choose from the heroes I haven't met yet!

[ There's a little bit of silence, then a small 'hmmmm'. ]

I think I would most like to meet the Mariner! He's one of Florida's longest working heroes, and I hear he's a really great guy! A lot of the members of the adult Hero League of our state have gotten to meet him, but the Illinois Junior League members like myself don't usually get to meet with adult heroes from that far across the country. There have been some whispers about him retiring, so I might not get to meet him... But it would be nice if I did!

[ She sounds so excited, and honestly interested in the idea, and for once genuinely is. The Mariner was certainly a hero to look up to in a world with a lot of heroes. At least, to her he was. ]

I don't think it's cheating, but you can also have multiple favorites!

[She grins, as it's hard not to with how excited the other girl is.]

Plus, even if he retires, you could still meet him. The main difference would be no spandex, right? He'd still be a hero.

You know, I never really thought about superheroes before I became one. I didn't even know who half the people I'd met were.

[ A Superboy poster, though, huh? Cute. ]

Wonder Woman'd be a good choice. Everyone loves Wonder Woman. [ He pauses. ] And, just for the record, Superboy was here, like, a couple of times. Nice guy. Different world than the one I'm from, though.

But he's not here now, right? Like I'm over that crush, but still. I don't wanna make him feel awkward or anything.

[It'd actually be nice to see Kon. Not in this context, though.]

Was she your favorite of all the ones you met? I can't imagine what it'd be like being around superheroes like that... Although I guess it's easier if you're not a huge fan, huh?

Hmph! Like bothering to look up to a hero gets you anywhere. The ones you have will inevitably fail you at some point. So why bother? Just save yourself the trouble and then you won't be disappointed when they do fail.

[Nikolai looks as bitter as he sounds.]

Okay? I mean, I was talking about a guy who was the same as a boyband member for me, but sure.

I don't know any Superboys, but I know a Supergirl, and I'd buy posters of her. Would she count?

Edited 2019-07-07 03:54 (UTC)

Definitely! [And Kara just happens to be one of her best friends, but Steph can't mention that.] My world's actually got both of them. And some other super people. It gets hard to keep track sometimes.

My galaxy’s version of superheroes I would think would be the Jedi. As I’m one of them, I naturally looked up to quite a few when I was a youngling. Master Yoda being among the highest among them.

My own master, Qui-Gon Jinn, would be among them as well, even if I did spend several years as an apprentice resenting him.

I feel like that's pretty typical with- masters? I'm guessing it's like a kung fu master in this case, a teacher or a mentor.

Wolverine. The second one. [Gabby grins, then shrugs a shoulder.] She's my sister, though, does that still count? Cause otherwise Deadpool. Though I'm not sure if "hero" counts for him. Hmm.

[She tilts her head.]

Captain Marvel is really, really cool. Maybe her. Oh, or Squirrel Girl! She gave me Jonathan!

[...it's a little hard to choose.]

Edited 2019-07-07 05:01 (UTC)

Okay, I'm gonna admit I know about Captain Marvel, but not the rest. Although I guess we could be thinking of different ones? The ones I know seem really, really cool too, though.

And for the record, sisters totally count! Basically, if someone's a hero to you, that's good enough.

[Georgia's never been one to care much about the super side of things, but well... doesn't mean she's lacking in heroes. She raises an eyebrow behind her sunglasses as she responds.]

Hunter Thompson.

Whoa. Specific. I don't know if I'm supposed to know who that is, like if they're super famous in your world or just a personal hero. But like either way, cool!

I suppose mine would be Nightwing.

[Because nemesisters for life.]

And I didn't know they made Superboy posters.

They do. Although you can also print your own at the library, as my teenaged self could tell you. Do you think they make Nightwing ones?

Superman.

Nice, solid choice. He was one of my favs as a kid. Actually been getting more into Captain Marvel these days, though.

My world doesn't have superheroes. Only war heroes.

My hero is my friend and commander, Ender.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, all heroes are applicable! Superheroes is just my frame of reference. But as long as they're a hero to you, that's all that matters, yeah?
