Soooooooooooooooo. I feel like a lot of times when we post on here it's something serious, or someone left, someone arrived, you get it. And honestly, I've got no problem with that cause it makes sense! But how about some more icebreakers?

FanPort got me thinking cause obviously all the locals are crazy about superheroes, and even non-superheroes, but what about you guys? If you come from a world with superheroes like me, you've got a pretty good head start on everyone else. Still, everyone's probably got some kind of hero, right?

And now I'm sure you're wondering, "Stephanie, who is your favorite superhero?"

Well, drumroll please...

[The drumroll is so she can think of a good answer. It's not working.]

Uh. I had a poster of Superboy when I was in high school. Wait, is Superboy here? I just realized how weird this could potentially get...

I've never heard of Superboy. Is he a powerfully ally of justice?

[ She claps her hands together. ]

I admired the heroines I used to see on the TV as a child. They were always so strong and beautiful, but dedicated to helping others and getting justice for those who could not defend themselves.

We're talking heroes, huh? I never heard of any Superboy, but I know who my top pic'd be. Back home, there was this guy named Billy. He was pretty much The Hero and a really super guy! He... really inspired me in heroing and adventuring and all that biz.

For one from a world without that phrase, it is rather ambiguous.

[ The boy(?) with the deep black eyes pauses, considering. ]

How would you define a "superhero"?

Back home there's never been a Guardian so loved as Saint-14. Can't blame 'em, he was a pretty great guy. Total weirdo, but good. Need some space pirate skulls bashed in? Call in Saint.

But really? My favorite, of course, is me. If you're not your #1 fan, who is?

[ Superboy, huh? Interesting. She remembers a couple super people at one point or another, after the other one died, though it could be a complete coincidence. It's not exactly the most original name in the world. ]

My affection for certain flying rodents aside, Wonder Woman. I've always been a sucker for a strong woman.

Not that we ever referred to them as superheroes... but my heroes growing up were the first Paladins of Voltron, my father and his friends — the first Defenders of the Universe. It was their shining example that made me hope I could become a Paladin myself, someday.

It's one of the reasons I find FanPort so endearing. I can't help but hope that some of them will be inspired in the same way.

I'm from a world with super heroes, too! I guess it would probably be cheating if I said my favourite heroes were my team, huh? [ There's a tinkling little laugh. ] Since I don't want to cheat, I should probably choose from the heroes I haven't met yet!

[ There's a little bit of silence, then a small 'hmmmm'. ]

I think I would most like to meet the Mariner! He's one of Florida's longest working heroes, and I hear he's a really great guy! A lot of the members of the adult Hero League of our state have gotten to meet him, but the Illinois Junior League members like myself don't usually get to meet with adult heroes from that far across the country. There have been some whispers about him retiring, so I might not get to meet him... But it would be nice if I did!

[ She sounds so excited, and honestly interested in the idea, and for once genuinely is. The Mariner was certainly a hero to look up to in a world with a lot of heroes. At least, to her he was. ]

When I was a kid? Black Canary. The first one.

You know, I never really thought about superheroes before I became one. I didn't even know who half the people I'd met were.

[ A Superboy poster, though, huh? Cute. ]

Wonder Woman'd be a good choice. Everyone loves Wonder Woman. [ He pauses. ] And, just for the record, Superboy was here, like, a couple of times. Nice guy. Different world than the one I'm from, though.

Hmph! Like bothering to look up to a hero gets you anywhere. The ones you have will inevitably fail you at some point. So why bother? Just save yourself the trouble and then you won't be disappointed when they do fail.

[Nikolai looks as bitter as he sounds.]

I don't know any Superboys, but I know a Supergirl, and I'd buy posters of her. Would she count?

My galaxy’s version of superheroes I would think would be the Jedi. As I’m one of them, I naturally looked up to quite a few when I was a youngling. Master Yoda being among the highest among them.

My own master, Qui-Gon Jinn, would be among them as well, even if I did spend several years as an apprentice resenting him.

Wolverine. The second one. [Gabby grins, then shrugs a shoulder.] She's my sister, though, does that still count? Cause otherwise Deadpool. Though I'm not sure if "hero" counts for him. Hmm.

[She tilts her head.]

Captain Marvel is really, really cool. Maybe her. Oh, or Squirrel Girl! She gave me Jonathan!

[...it's a little hard to choose.]

[Georgia's never been one to care much about the super side of things, but well... doesn't mean she's lacking in heroes. She raises an eyebrow behind her sunglasses as she responds.]

Hunter Thompson.

I was always... kind of a Batgirl fan.

[ cassandra. ]

I suppose mine would be Nightwing.

[Because nemesisters for life.]

And I didn't know they made Superboy posters.

Superman.

My world doesn't have superheroes. Only war heroes.

My hero is my friend and commander, Ender.
