I'm joining a potential game of Mutants & Masterminds (which is a tabletop RPG) and was thinking of creating a Discordian super hero. If you were a Discordian super hero, what would your powers be?

THE POWER TO KILL PEOPLE WHO USE DISCORDIANISM AS A BRAND NAME, USING ONLY MY UPPER LIP AND LEFT GONAD.

I think that makes me a villain.

Oh, I know.  A True Discordian HeroTM would spew word salad at his opponent, and then viciously attack the villains fists and feet with his teeth.  He would also have some very obvious DiscordianTM images all over his spandex, and his battle cry would be Fnord.

No, I may have it! He would troll their strategy meetings and cause their plans to all fail!

Hang on.

Has anyone told the OP that we have an RPG subforum?

Also, I think I need to write that "Discordia is Not a Brand" rant, and I need to do it NOW.

Because it occurs to me that basing your personality and/or activities on "Discordianism" is the absolute best example of "eating the menu" (a phrase I used to hate, but now have a new appreciation for) that I've ever seen in my life.

Jesus fuck yes.

There are two ways to answer that question:

1) If you were a Super Hero whose philosophical/religious leanings were Discordian
or
2) If you were a Super Hero with Discordian powers

The answer to 1 would be "Plastic Man," the answer to 2 would be to create a character that's utterly unaware of Eris and Discordianism but has the ability to literally create strife among his/her foes (limited form of mind control, probably), but with the penalty that it also goes off on their friends periodically. I would also buy some serious DR or invulnerability, or your spag won't last long.

Don't worry, it hasn't been there forever. I think less than two years, maybe only one? I forget.





And, of course, there is only one Really Real Discordian Superhero, and it is Deadpool.
