All right, it’s been about a year since [I last did this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=74971), and I think it’s worth another try.

The rules are very simple: the person before you is a superhero, and you have to determine what their powers are just based on their handle (that’s the username, for anyone who’s not familiar with the term). See the linked thread for examples, and some genuinely funny material to boot.

The first person gets the choice of doing me, or **alice\_in\_wonderland** , who was the last person to post to the original.

Have at it!

Anywhich:

**Alice\_in\_wonderland** , with amazing shrinking and growth powers, she has the ability to speak with animals (particularly white rabbits, cats, and insects.) Alice can travel interdimensionally through earthbound portals and magic mirrors. She uses her powers to defend those under the insane, tyrranical rule of the Red Queen.

**Ultrafilter** has the ability to injest any poison or breathe in any dangerous gasses and expel them harmlessly, inert, and with a lovely blast of potpourri.

ResIpsaLoquitor - An ordinary, mild-mannered citizen bitten by a radioactive lawyer, now fights crime in the bustling city of Gothamopolis. He causes his enemies to go insane by making all inanimate objects around them suddenly start talking. The deafening cacophony makes them plead guilty and justice is soon served.

Bathes regularly, eats healthy foods, and doesn’t kiss on a first date.

**belladonna** , the reluctant hero. Sweet and cuddly on the inside, a deadly poison to the touch. She can emit clouds of poison to render an opponent anaesthetized or unconscious.

belladonna - The GPS of superheroes, belladonna merely has to clap twice and any missing villan immediately becomes cloaked with a plethora of pealing bells of resounding pitch and clarity. This donning of bells is precipitated by the command “Bell on” and “Bell off” along with, of course, the obligatory clapping. belladonna’s services are available anytime evil rears it’s head other than Sunday mornings.
