Meme unscrupulously acquired from [livejournal.com profile] handslive...


1. If your LJ handle were the name of your superhero identity, what would your super power be?
The ability to drive my enemies insane by the merest thought, or to tread on them by accident


2. What would your costume look like?
Purple and rugose... or is it purple and squamous?


3. What would your sidekick be called?
The shoggies (there's more than one, but you can never tell exactly how many)


4. What would your sidekick's secret ability be?
The ability to eat just about anything, and to extrude limbs, mouths eyes etc. at will. And they're very purple as well


5. Who would your arch nemesis be?
Astroman


6. What weakness of yours would he exploit to keep you from foiling his plans?
The stars must be right, or [livejournal.com profile] purplecthulhu goes to sleep, and Astroman knows when this will happen


7. What's your theme music?
Cthulhu Dreams by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets


8. Kapow! or Baff! (if other, please specify)?
Squish!


9. In no more than two sentences describe the back story for how you became a superhero.
A curious mixture of weird science, eldritch magic and purple food colouring...


10. What calling card, stock exclamation, or battle cry will readily identify you to your adoring fans (and cringing enemies)?
Ia Ia! Cthulhu fthagn!

And when [livejournal.com profile] purplecthulhu goes to sleep, all his friends....

I'm now trying to remember where it was I saw the piece on the mythos references in Bagpuss.

I remember someone muttering something about that... No idea what the details were though. Maybe [livejournal.com profile] purpletigron has some idea.

Is there really a superhero called Astroman? That's who I always wanted to be as a child.

There was a 90s band called 'Man or Astroman?', but I'm not aware of a superhero of that name. Or should I say supervillain - I'm the superhero around here, and don't forget it, or I'll feed you to the Shoggies!

I think in the late '80s or early 90's there was an anime superhero called Astroboy. He had the obligatory single unit hair, multicoloured *huge* eyes and big-arse red boots. I think he was also supposed to be a robot or something. Oh, and he could fly in space. I think that's why the Astroboy. He's obviously grown up....

And he had a butt-blaster! I love the Internet.
