This summer in Italy I had a fabulous TA with me. We made all sorts of wonderful discoveries together - like the terminal velocity of a baby, that Poppy homemade popcorn is heaven in a bowl, and that my affinity for languages stops just short of understanding Japanese. We also devised superhero personas for ourselves (actually Vincenzo did and I just supported him by feeding him pasta and asking to watch movies on his laptop), but I'm very happy with mine: LAVA GIRL!!!!!
I'm not really sure about the whole superhero thing - I've just recently started to get on the superhero bandwagon and to be honest I'm just sort of lukewarm about it (haha, pun intended) but here are my thoughts. Lava girl is a tall fire-haired superheroine who wears only the best clothing and very fashionable boots. I assume she wears red outfits and can ignite a fire by giving the death glare to anyone in her path. Therefore, should someone forget that class starts on the hour rather than fifteen minutes later, she can burn their desk before they get to it so they're forced to stand awkwardly in the corner and take notes while trying to balance their notebook on their hand. She can also affect the weather in her personal bubble so she never has to suffer through another winter or be frozen to death by the ridiculous Texas over-airconditioning - it's alway a lovely 81 degrees in a two foot bubble around her.
That's as far as I've gotten. I feel like she should probably have more superpowers, but like I said, I'm just learning about the superhero movement so her mythology and all that will have to wait until I can come up with something good. Any suggestions?
P.S. Anyone who wants to draw lava girl in a nice PG version and sell a comic book about her (giving me a cut, of course) is encouraged to contact me at your earliest convenience.
