Walmart runs & Science classes inspire Supervilliany

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_RQkn1LAOANo, there was no accident, and I have no powers (or personality-altering brain damage). For now I’m a mild-mannered college student, and unless I forget to read the procedure before showing up to my cell & molecular lab, I’ll probably be spared the chore of playing arch-nemesis to a caped crusader. Yesterday I went to two seperate walmarts- one with my roomate Bernard & my friend Eric, and another with Ben & Andrew to get the food for this weekend’s class cabinet sponsored super-bowl party. Both the weather and the prices were fair. Energized after Taco Bell and a hearty bout of scientific calculus, my mind was whirring and buzzing with a creative curiosity. If I were to gain superpowers, what would they be, and how would I obtain them?The conclusion I came to was that the most likely origin of a real-life super powers would be a result of biotech research gone horribly wrong…and that the physical and psychological damage from such an event would far outstrip the benefit of gaining superhuman abilities.
