Become a superhero...

With the talk of a DC character coming out of the closet in the not-too-distant future, I was wondering if you could create (or be) a LGBT Superhero, what would your powers be? What would your name be? (GLBT allies, of course, could have a straight hero, if they wish, but still would like to know your answers.)

Mine: (And believe it or not, I've thought about this for a long time)

I would love the ability to make bigots live the lives they rail against. Not permanently, necessarily, but until they've learned a lesson (walk in the other person's shoes).

Name: Phobiac

What would your Gay-Power be?

but I made this a few months ago:



I'd still go with Batman, let him fight bigotry and hate, having his dark hours. Maybe make the bat logo on his chest rainbow-colored.

Yes, I like Batman.

You make the neatest stuff. Yet you never make anything for MEEEEE.

I like Batman, too. A super-hero, with no super-power, but can still kick major butt.

I'd like to make something for YOUUUUUUUU! Just tell me. But don't expect a Picasso or Kinkade. It's more Bob Ross style.
