How to Be a Super-Hero on Earth, 2011


Have you been seeing nothing but crimes and lawlessness in your world today?

Have you ever wished that the world could change for the better?

Did you ever secretly pray that a savior will come down from the sky and save us all from our own doom?

Have you ever thought of taking matters into your own hands and dispense justice where it is most needed?

Did you ever thought of being a super-hero?

Well, fear not, it's not to late to be one! In this world, though you cannot suddenly manifest superpowers or forge mystical pacts with other-worldly powers (well maybe you can), you can still be the caped crusader you longed to be. All you really need is to get everything down from this short list and you're off fighting crime!

1. Unlimited Financial Resources (most important) - You can't kill a man with your eyes, or jump a building in a single bound, or even stop a train in its tracks, let alone take a boatload of gunshots and grin. But with money, you can buy all the tech that can let you do all these! Check out these hardware and you'll know what I mean:

2. Vast Information Network - Look no further, for we have the Internet! Anything and everything you ever needed to know is here! If Batman was really alive he wouldn't need the Bat-computer. All you need is time and patience and you have the information of the world at your fingertips.

3. Numerous Contacts - Facebook, thank you! You are a superhero's dream come true. All your networked acquaintances, contacts, friends and, hell, even enemies, all at the click of a mouse button!

4. All the time in the world - If you have a limitless bank account, you can afford to take a "vacation" the whole year round and no one will look for you while you fight crime.Also, having free time will let you train with the masters so that you know how to fight. See number 6.

5. The Best Rides - Again, if you have limitless credit, you can buy the fastest, toughest cars out there. Just make sure you have one of each:

6. Train with the Masters - You can't fight crime if you don't know how to fight! Learn these martial arts and kick those crims' asses! Krav Maga, MMA, Jiujitsu, Jeet-Kune-Do, Wushu (as many variants you can learn), Boxing, Sumo (yeah its a martial art), Tae-Kwon-Do, Muay Thai, Kalari Payattu, Lucha Libre, Aikido, Karate, Kenpo, Kendo... Ah, just check the list here.

7. Get a Degree! - A forensics and criminology degree that is.You need to be as keen as those CSI guys if you want to catch yourself a lawbreaker.

8. Be as graceful as a Cat - There are times when you would have to hangout amongst the rooftops either to spy on your enemies or pursue a criminal. For this, drop by the land of France and start learning Parkour, which is French obstacle jumping. See a sample video here:

9. To the Batcave - Well you really don't need a cave per se, but there are a lot of places which you can use as a hideout. Some suggestions: Abandoned Warehouse, Country Manor, Private School or Science Institute, Old Castle

10. A really cheesy name - Hey you gotta protect your secret identity right? What can't think of one? Then check this out:
Superhero Name Generator(I used this and this is what I got, no joke! "The Charismatic Ninja" Ooh-lala!)

Once you've checked off this ten item list then you're good to go! Go mighty hero! Fight for truth, justice and the comic book-geek way!
