immortals

WARNING: if you're the kind of person who appreciates SpiderMan just because he's being played by Tobey Maguire, please don't read further.

everytime i watch any sci-fi, fantasy or comic book oriented movie, i create my own version of the characters. call it therapy, my own way of creating a little universe to escape from the pressures of life.

if you look at it on a different point of view, it just shows how man(or just me) can never be satisfied. we always want to change something that is presented to us. be it a movie or life. in our minds we always have a better version.

ok. i'm pushing the geek button now...

here's my own team of superheroes, they have no names yet only descriptions of their power. names are dependent on the powers of hero anyway. the thing about my team is, they can never die. immortality (in one way or another), that's the key.

1. superhero #1 - i envision him to be old, much like sean connery. actually, i patterned this after his "league of extraordinary gentlemen" character. this guy has powers of resurrection. he can never die. everytime he dies, he gets up again before the sun sets on him. pretty cool, huh?

2. superhero #2 - this guy has superhealing powers. yup, this is my own wolverine. but for me he looks more like beast (minus the blue hue) or maybe sabretooth.

3. superhero #3 - a cyborg, a female actually. well, this gal can always be destroyed, decapitated, dismembered? but her essence, her memories, all the things she knows are stored in a computer secretly hidden and protected well beneath the topsoil. anytime, "she" can be downloaded to another cyborg and viola! good as new.

...bored now? still got 4 more. bear with me, it's the child within me that's talking.

4. superhero #4 - naturally, a vampire, no need to explain how immortal she can get. again, this is from the "league.." character. i like winona ryder's "mina harker" better than peta wilson's, physically at least.

5. superhero #5 - this what i call a "cloner". if you know jamie maddrox, you know what i mean. this one creates multiple copies of himself, yeah just like multiple man. but the difference is they are a collective entity. there is no "original" copy.

6. superhero #6 - astral projection. picture professor x in suspended animation and the only way u can see is via his telepathic image in your brain. try killing someone you can't even touch.

7. superhero #7 - shapeshifting and adaptation. in my mind this should be a female. her complete control of here DNA makeup gives here the ability to adapt to any situation. try this, polar bears can't suffer from hypothermia in the arctic.

well that's it. the challenge really here are the bad guys...if you know what i mean.
