Super-power?

Wil Wheaton, in a recent blog entry, notes that most geeky-types know off the top of their head what super-power they'd want.

Me: Maybe this is bending the rules, in that it's more of a ''multi-power'', but I'd want "green power."

It's based on a super-hero I dreamed up when I was in high school (or college?):
  • Cover yourself in a green energy glow
  • Can convert yourself into this green energy (but still retain your regular shape) to become intangible, and thus essentially invulnerable
  • Can fly, if ''greened-up''
  • Can shoot green energy blasts
  • Can heal people (including yourself), with the green life-energy (a bit like using chi, I suppose)
  • If needed, can temporarily convert other people into the green energy, if you're in a situation where you need to (for example) rescue people by passing them through a wall
  • Can use the green-force to sense the inherent goodness or evil-ness in people (i.e. are they just being stupid; or are they horrible, nasty people)
  • Can use the green-force to bring out the good in people
  • The green-force gives an awareness of when people are in distress and in need of help

So, multi-faceted -- but still coherently themed. :)

Sounds a bit like Green Lantern to me.

A little. :)

Green Lantern is more "building things with the ring", plus some other tricks -- based on the users willpower (and imagination). Pretty darned open-ended.

This one is more ''life-force'' oriented, and has about five specific things you can do with it.
