Exceptionally Uncaught

A little while ago (back when I thought I was getting a City of Heroes free trial), a friend and I were tossing around ideas about what sort of hero I should play. Since he brought it up again today, I thought I'd post the transcript here for everyone to enjoy (I'm green).

Oh, I know! Mr Rainbow! He's a queer-friendly human rights lawyer! He battle villains with the mightiest weapon of them all - a solid understanding of the anti-discrimination law!

That's not a completely terrible super hero actually. It's better than "Wolver Man" with his "4 retractable claws" and his "slightly disfunctional attitude" (don't sue us marvel!).

I was just thinking it would be pretty funny to spend a while "totally missing the point", and coming up with characters who are real-life kick-arse "hero" types - Amnesty International's human rights lawyers, independent war journalists, the ATO accountants how take down massive, dodgie companies, etc.

"Um, no, that's not quite what we meant when we said 'super hero'..."
"Oh, okay then. How about Prof. Stephen Hawking?"
"Um..."

You could call your super hero "the red cross", and fight hunger and abuse all over the world :)

"Who are you?" asked the terrified thug
"I'm UNICEF Man"

You could make a tank, and call him the OXfam.

"I believe that Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition. The health of all peoples is fundamental to the attainment of peace and security and is dependent upon the fullest co-operation of individuals and States. The achievement of any State in the promotion and protection of health is of value to all. Unequal development in different countries in the promotion of health and control of disease, especially communicable disease, is a common danger. Healthy development of the child is of basic importance; the ability to live harmoniously in a changing total environment is essential to such development. The extension to all peoples of the benefits of medical, psychological and related knowledge is essential to the fullest attainment of health. Informed opinion and active co-operation on the part of the public are of the utmost importance in the improvement of the health of the people. Governments have a responsibility for the health of their peoples which can be fulfilled only by the provision of adequate health and social measures. "I am Dr WHO"
