Your 'superpower'.

[Little air quotation marks included.]

[comicbookvillain]

I don't have one not in that sense.

[tasteslikecoconut]

What, you're a superhero without a superpower? Kinda hypocritical, isn't it? I mean if you can't do anything super amazing, then -

[Wait a second. Shut up, Tony.]

- okay fine, what do you mean, exactly. Do you turn into a giant green rage monster if you get really angry? Because that is something you should definitely say up front to just get it out of the way now.

[comicbookvillain]

Does that happen, where you're from?

Holy shit Adrian lol

[tasteslikecoconut]

[Ooooh nice deflection. Too bad you're talking to the master of deflection.]

Maybe. Answer the question.

i just really stupidly like that icon whoops

[comicbookvillain]

Why would I ask about it, if it were possible?

it's hilarious

[tasteslikecoconut]

It's possible, trust me. But seriously what's your superpower, because so far all I see is the outlandish outfit.

i know

[comicbookvillain]

I already told you, I don't have one - but I'm quicker than most people, and generally smarter too.

I can catch a bullet, does that make you feel any better?

[tasteslikecoconut]

'Generally smarter' means nothing to me, big shot.

And that's not all that special, really. I can catch a bullet too. Anyone can. [They just might not survive their body catching it is all.]

[comicbookvillain]

They call me the smartest man in the world.

[so, you know, generally.]

Strictly speaking "anyone" trying to catch a bullet would end up with it in them.

[tasteslikecoconut]

You're joking. ... But you don't sound like you're joking. There isn't even a hint of sarcasm in your voice either, that's impressive. The being serious thing, I mean. [His eyes narrow in scrutiny.] Can you smile? Not that there's much to smile about around here.

[What the hell is this guy. Reading him is like reading a rock on the side of the road, what is this.]

And you can just... what, make magic happen?

[comicbookvillain]

No, my reflexes are simply sharp enough to catch it.

[he shrugs. and then attempts a smile.]

Better?

[tasteslikecoconut]

[Kinda scary, actually. He also doesn't believe really anything you've said, but whatever. You can prove yourself if you stick around long enough.]

Could use some work. Anyway, I'm hungry, and these canned beans are looking stellar. [Only not at all.] Stay if you want, I guess.

[comicbookvillain]

They look edible, at least. [but look he's staying!!]
