-I’m the Second-Guesser.  Actually, I’m not;  she’s my evil twin.  But because we look alike, people mistake us for each other.  She shows up in town, and spreads worry, doubt, general unease and confusion.  I’m constantly trying to stay one step ahead of her and when I can’t, I’m left to right her nefarious wrongs.  We’re locked in an eternal struggle against each other. 

-Radioactive Worry.  I can make my worry grow and grow.  My challenge is to use my powers for good instead, and apply them to make my worries mutate  into something beautiful and positive and possibly glittery.

-The Amazing Non-Sequitur: His lateral thinking ability allows him to connect two completely unrelated thoughts!  Able to leap large gaps in logic with a single noun!  He can derail a train of thought with merely a word! He will trap you within your own confusion!

-Pi Girl: I have the ability to explain math to people who don’t usually get it.

-Jason: While having no known superpowers to speak of, I do posses the uncanny ability to create amazing superpowers for spectacular superheros. My superhero name is comic book artist.

-The Age-Defying Robot: I have the ability to convert exhaustion and English muffins into high octane fuel.

-The Seductress: I make  goals and always reach them.  Although I have every ability to do this on my own, sometimes I have to do a little extra on my part, to convice Fate to put in a good word for me.   

-The Amazing Scheming Duo (Not to be confused with the Amazing Following-Through-Getting-Stuff-Done-Duo): In their ever-changing brainstorm, the Amazing Scheming Duo generates the rumblings of ideas on the horizon.  You will see the most electric flashes of brilliance, but beware: you may find yourself swept away in their flood of enthusiasm for the esoteric and ridiculous.  Approach only when wearing galoshes. (Ed note: Tagline submitted by the editor to the duo for review and approval, and is approved by 50% of the Duo at this time.  Full approval is pending.)

-After six years of graduate school, my superhero power is whatever a human being can possibly do with one professional degree, two graduate degress in unrelated fields, and a bunch of science education and electronic music courses that had nothing to do with his degrees in the first place.  Also I have the uncanny ability to pick advisors that will have deleterious effects on my career and mental stability. 

-The Excellerator: I love to play with Excel because I’m a numbers-dork.  I guess I would say I’m Excel-lent.  (Ed note: The Excellerator was suggested by yours-truly as an option for a name, and he preferred this.)
