Personally, I’d like to be Angel from the TV show “Angel” (a Buffy The Vampire Slayer spinoff). The guy is 6’ plus well over 200lbs, powerfully built, immortal (except for stakes, sunlight and decapitation) and above and beyond all that he’s an awesome fighter (even for a vamp) and a good looker. He’s got it all.

If I couldn’t be a Vampire like Angel I’d choose to be a Werewolf. Even though they’re not generally ‘good’ guys.

Before you decide, let’s look at the [rules](http://www.captaincomics.net/columns/4flash5.htm) of the game. 😉

Very true. But, according to “How to Be a Superhero,” the other superheroes dislike men with stretching powers, cuz they can attract all the women by making the crotch bulges bigger. If you ever find it, read that book. F\*cking great!

Stain Boy!

No superpowers; just the dubious talent of leaving a stain everywhere he goes…but he seems to win every time.
