Create an original superhero

Bob was born with a mind of inhuman-plasticity within its neural pathways. His super-mind uses and consumes so much energy that he can't gain weight, but instead his brain converts greater and greater amounts of carbohydrates to super-charge the structure of it's own neural pathways, white matter, and go hyper-mitosis on it's neurons, grey mass.

Suffice it to say, Bob was the smartest human being at anything he did, especially in early-life academia. Outsmarting his peers within MENSA, and being sup-par to even the fully developed brains of its high-IQ adults, he could have graduated Cum Laude seven times by grade 5. But he was so smart that what he did affected lives unwittingly, the threat of him making adult decisions was its own incentive for him to stay in grade school with a perfect gpa as opposed to getting more pull over the adult world, as he was afraid of what his super-intelligent actions were capable of when not confined by his hapless 'normal-child' facade. He tried to calculate safe outcomes from his relatively simple peer-social machinations in grade school, but it almost always resulted in him becoming either too popular or too unpopular, either too socially desired or too socially alienating. His ability to easily take control of social situations almost made him incompatible, as either others would get jealous and attack him or kill themselves or he'd be too isolated.

He blamed his failures in social calculation on causality and the paradox of choice. He felt that his intellect made his choices, good or bad, result in effects that were either too good or too bad for him to be able to handle. He wanted to be normal, to feel like a human.

So one day he emptied his mind, in a catatonic state of super-meditation he achieved in hours what it takes Buddhists in Asia a lifetime to achieve, he achieved total nirvana. In this state he witnessed, for the first time in his life, calm. He had an epiphany, if he couldn't be him around others because who he was was too superior to who everyone else was, he'd try and super-evolve the human race without manipulating them, by virtue of helping them with problems they could not solve themselves, while he disguised himself, the one that interacted with others in everyday life socially, as mere ole' Bob.

Around others he disguised himself as the President of the United States that had the highest approval rating of all time, for life. But when alone, when allowed to be his true self, he was Epiphany Man, a global shadow-manipulator and mastermind of libertarian schemes, world savior.

That is....wow...

My guy is Anti Epiphany Man, his powers completely and utterly counter Epiphany Man and render him useless, his name is Tim.

Bob: Daaammn you Tiiiim!

I'm no biologist, but I'm pretty damn sure that the brain doesn't store energy in carbon hydrates like muscle tissue does.

My superhero has only one power, to change the brain to store energy in carbohydrates.

Well, damn.

No, it's English for "Carbon Hydrates" [sic]

Are you too chicken to post this in the comic versus forum?

and you're supposed to be a sciencer.

Let me guess, three months ago I argued that some character could beat another character and you have a nine-paged response you want me to address?

I'm fairly sure the brain cells get their energy directly from the ATP to ADP reaction.

I was addressing the thread-starter, dudette.

Has Dolos been typing with his Superman blanket tied around his neck again?

^He was doing so, when I last saw him around the comic book continent.

My super hero is Kellogg's frosties man.

He has type 2 diabetes.

Should have called him "Marty-Stu", tbh. Better name all around, I think.

My super hero is called the brute.

His powers are that he's a brute.

Known weakness is pussy.

Can we design super heroines too?

Mine from a short story I wrote is Gyrogirl. Originally she lives in a hypothetical distant future on an interplanetary base. Vicious rogue robots attack the base, killing most of the humans on board, but although she is crushed, she is scraped up and repaired with mechanical pieces by the android butler that belonged to her mum and dad and which then goes on to get her out of the infested space station. She uses all their life insurance money to upgrade herself to be a really tough as well as angry cyborg and goes back to the base to destroy the rogue robots and subsequently to begin her career as a space heroine.

Her vital organs are mostly intact and are encased in a synthetic exoskeleton. She still has her trademark red hair, which contains cables of microscopic width. Her hair can electrify and grab things. Other powers include the ability to see in infrared like robots can, to jump from greater heights than a human could and survive for long periods without oxygen. She has her original skull and her face is rebuilt, with advanced rubber/plastic to serve as a new skin.

Of course she is bitter about her predicament as well as moody. Best to get on her good side.
