Everyday Superheros, Part II
17Jul2008
It’s been a while since my original Everyday Superhero post, but I was thinking the other day about other potential superpowers I have, and came up with the following:
Superhero Name: Metabolism Man
Alias: The Man with the lightning-fast intestines.
Powers: Has the ability to digest (and excrete) massive amounts of food in minutes. In a bind this superhero can eat a 6 course curry whilst quaffing 10 pints of Guinness and still go back for seconds. And then do the same 3 hours later. I remember when I was seventeen and I managed to eat at least 7 steaks in a restaurant in Germany famous for their helpings. As I finished one they wheeled out another. I also remember wolfing down an “Elvis Burger” (the name should say it all) at a restaurant in Edinburgh and still having dessert. I think I won a T-Shirt for that, which I promptly lost (too many Guinness).
Oh, and if you haven’t already, acquaint yourself with my Everyday Evil Villains post…
