Full Version: Things I Am No Longer Allowed To Do Now That I Am a Superhero
TWoP Forums > Current TWoP Shows > Heroes > Did You Ever Know That You're My Hero?
Autobiography
I found another thead inspired by "Skippy's List" in the Lost thread and thought about adding one here; only someone already made a "Things I'm No Longer Allowed To Do at OWI" thread and that took away some of my ideas. Here is what I have so far:

1. I cannot fly off a 30-story bulding.
* I can only do this if my big brother is around.
**He has a busy schedule, and I should remember that next time I want to do this.

2. Mind-reading is rude, and I should not do it to just anyone.
*But if it helps me save my marriage, that's okay.

Anyone else wanna play? :)
The Mad Maple
3. No matter how tempting, I am not allowed to use my X-ray vision to spy on the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders' locker room.
* Or my invisibility.
** Or my ability to walk through walls.
*** Or my ability to create illusions.
**** Or my shape-changing abilities.
***** My claims of only trying to protect them will be ignored.
****** I'm now officially banned from Cowboy Stadium.

4. I am not allowed to mock individuals with less, shall we say, interesting abilities than my own.
*Yes, that includes the guy who can talk to goldfish.
*And the person who fixes the copier.
*I am to remember that this is how the whole debacle with Sylar got started, especially when I have the perfect scathing comment.

I am not allowed to mock individuals with less, shall we say, interesting abilities than my own.
"You're just a sidekick!" Seen Sky High, wp? ;)

5. If I am an empathic mimic, I am not allowed to use Candice's ability on Halloween without her permission.
*Even if it is an emergency.
**Unless it involves Claire. I am not allowed to ask about this, unless I want to get my legs broken by Mr. Bennett.
**Or Nathan Petrelli. Or anyone else in her family, for that matter.
writingdreamer
6. I am not allowed to use my ability to steal food from vendors.

***It doesn't matter if Claude does it***
Asteria
7. I am not allowed to create paradoxes or to encourage others to do so.
*Except for cheap tricks.

8. I will try to keep property damage to a minimum.
*If I can, I will at least offer to pay for the damages.
*If I can't pay, I will run.
chakram
9. I am not allowed to blackmail people with conversations I overhear from 100 feet away
* People should have a reasonable expectation of privacy
* No, we are not interested in what the Petrelli brothers have been up to...with each other
witty pseudonym
Seen Sky High, wp?

No, I just figured that's what I'd do if I had a superpower. Make fun of people.

10. Cape and tights for crime fighting, street clothes for everyday life. NOT the other way around.
*That includes Casual Friday.

11. I am not allowed to publish my manuscript, "Peter Petrelli, the Unauthorized Biography"
*Or the sequel about Nathan.
*Or the one about Mohinder.
*I am not allowed to write anyone's biography.
ibroketuesday
12. I am not allowed to paint future lottery numbers.
*Nor the answer to the million-dollar question.
*Nor the scores of any big game.
*Hiro has sternly reminded me that Heroes do not use their powers for personal gain. (It doesn't matter what Claude says.)
Forsquilis
13. I am not allowed to tell Parkman that I only hang out with him because if Sylar were chasing us, I wouldn't have to outrun Sylar, I'd just have to outrun him.
* Not even if it's true.
* The excuse "Eden told me to say that" has not worked in the past and will not work this time, either.
MarkHB
*Except for cheap tricks.
COnsider your reference caught, Asteria!

14. If someone hits my car with a shopping cart in a parking lot, I am not allowed to melt the cart.
* especially not if I make them stand in it first.
* Mohinder will do all my grocery shopping from now on. He seems to think I need more roughage in my diet.
Cookie Simone
15. I am not allowed to use my invisibility to stalk people that I don't like and make them think they're insane by making their coffe mugs "float" and whispering "kill, kill, kill".
*even if Claude thinks it's funny.
TJ track99
* Mohinder will do all my grocery shopping from now on. He seems to think I need more roughage in my diet.


He would.

This are making me giggle. Hopefully I can think of something funny soon to contribute.
Forsquilis
16. Just because I could use my power of persuasion to get Sylar to lounge around his cell naked, does not mean I should do it.
* Mohinder is not actually an OWI employee and therefore his request that I keep doing it has been denied.
* Using my power of persuasion to make Mr. Linderman to open the board meeting by reciting "I'm A Little Teapot" was also not a good idea, and I should consider myself lucky that my only punishment was the revocation of pot pie privileges.
* Though Mr. Bennet has admitted that my threat to persuade Parkman to lounge around naked may have been an influence on their decision to go easy on me.
MarkHB
17. "Hey babe, I can cure what ails you!" is not an acceptable pickup line!
* I am to consider myself lucky that Jessica merely replied, "You wish, twerp!" as opposed to removing any of my appendages.
* The company is taking Eden's side and will not cover any chiropractic bills I incur as a result of following her directives, no matter how anatomically impossible they may be.
* I am to consider myself lucky that I haven't tried that line on Candice.
* Charlie is right, "I can cure what ails you" is improper English.
Autobiography
18. While phasing is useful for getting into and out of jail, it is not recommended for getting into, say, the mall.
*Or school.
*It is strongly recommended I no longer phase into or out of public places.
*I am now officially banned from phasing into or out of public places.
*As is getting Peter to mimic my ability and doing it for me.
*Mr. Linderman will not heal me the next time I upset Nathan by convincing Peter to do this "because it's your destiny"
Freckled Gnome
19. I am not allowed to suggest to Peter that he use his power-empathy to mimic me, thereby obtaining a decent haircut and a less emo demeanor.
*Even if Nathan begrudgingly concurs.
*Mohinder tells me that my overly cheerful attitude is not in fact a superpower, and therefore I am no longer allowed to hang out with the actual Heroes.
*Especially since my, er, enthusiasm to find Sylar might make me a liability.
Asteria
20. I will not use my powers for evil.
*Or mischief.
*Or with the intention of hooking up.
The Mad Maple
20. I will not use my powers for evil.
*Or mischief.
*Or with the intention of hooking up.
*Unless she's really hot....
Forsquilis
21. If I do use my powers to hook up with someone really hot, and then in the middle of the hookup the person suddenly turns into Candice in her actual form, and she posts a video of my reaction on YouTube, I am not allowed to use my powers to take vengeance on OWI employees who laugh at me.
kcblue86
22. I am not allowed to use my ability to bring forth people from alternate realities in order to incite a Peter vs. Future!Peter battle.
*Or Peter Parker. Or Peter Pan. Or Peter Pevensie.
*I am no longer allowed near any Peter P.'s.

*Or Peter Parker. Or Peter Pan. Or Peter Pevensie.
*I am no longer allowed near any Peter P.'s.

*If I continue to do this, I'll be subjected to the company of Peter Pettigrew.

Seriously, what is up with all the Peter P.'s?

23. If I decide to use my powers for evil, I will learn from the mistakes of others before me, e. g. no monologues in front of the hero, no conspicuous and easily-entered evil lairs, no plans that a brain-dead stick insect could foil, etc.
*I will only use my evil laugh when victorious. Not when I need to concentrate.
*I am to keep track of which heroes have evil leanings, and not try to recruit those who do not.

24. If I decide to use my powers for good, I will learn from the mistakes of others before me as well, e. g. no sparing the villain, no divulging my secret identity, no resolving sexual tension, no unsupervised sidekicks, etc.
Meshakhad
25. I am not allowed to use my tech powers to crash the stock market.

Eagle85
30. I will not use my powers to thwart the democratic will of the people.

* I will, however, use my power to make life a little easier for myself and others.
* I will remember to be subtle about this.
Rebekah
32. I will not go back in time and warn my younger self about the horrible prom hair incident.
* Also, telling my younger self that I shouldn't date that guy because he's a douche is a bad idea too. Girls need douches to make the good guy seem even better.
* Yeah, there's that whole time line thing, too. Whatever.
not a robot
33. If I decide to create a crime-fighting alter ego, I am not allowed to assume that people are too dumb to tell the difference between the two personas without nametags.
*Simply removing my glasses does not count as a cunning disguise.
*Calling myself Super-[my name here] does not count as an alias.
*If someone has not agreed to be my sidekick, it is rude to refer to them as such.
*I am not allowed to laugh at people who speculate on the secret identities of superheroes in their presence.
Asteria
34. I will not become a spandex- or leather-clad vigilante crime fighter.
- It's really clichéd.

herrlosse

*Unless theyre watching Kiddy-Porn
*Or Lost.
Asteria
37. I will not teleport directly into someone's house or office.
- It's rude.

38. I will not use my teleportation to bypass airport security.
- I will take my shoes off like everyone else.
- I will, however, use my teleportation to cut down on my commute.
- Especially if my commute involves heavy traffic and/or at least two separate types of public transportation.
Brina24
39. I am not allowed to do the obvious thing to defeat the villian, which is take a two barrel shotgun and shoot them in the face, chop them up into tiny pieces and bury the pieces in cement.....under the ocean, thus eliminating any chances of them returnig to seek their revenge.

That would solve the problem within five minutes and then we'd all be out of work wouldn't we?
MakeDamnSure
40. I will not attempt to 'take over the world'
- Even If I am a sidekick.

41. I will not make fun of my sucky sidekick.

TerrifyinMonkey

44. I will not use my power of flight to cut down on my commute time.
* Unless gas hits $5.00/gallon.
MakeDamnSure
45. I will not use my powers to kill the guy who wrote the post above me.
- Even if he threatens to cancel my favourite show with his powers.
- Even though he wanted to use his powers for good, also.
- Even if he likes Deadwood. *gags*
Beheaded

50. I will not use my powers of persuasion to convince the writers to write Zach back into the show. No matter how much I miss him.

(This thread made me legitimately laugh out loud a few times.)
just watching
51. I am no longer allowed to marry a villain even if my name is Angela Petrelli.
NYer
52. I will not use my power-granting-and-denying power on the entire planet during cosmic conjunctions "just to see people's reactions."
* Because Mr. Petrelli sounded annoyed that he wasn't briefed first.
* Or excluded from the "experiment."
* So then he used his power-absorbing power on me.
* And then had a Flint's-cigarette-lighter-on-my-skin conjunction.
* "Just to see [my] reaction."
