What is your current avatar and why? My current avatar is a picture of Aquaman and Mera from the 2003 Aquaman series. I chose it because I for one love Patrick Gleason's arc and I enjoyed that series as well. It's also just a really nice picture of Aquaman hugging Mera. Makes me happy/smile.

Congrats, you've been cast on MTV's the Real World! Which 6 Hype members would you pick to live in a house with you? Why? Harlekin, Byrd Man, SuperFerret, Keyser Soze, Spike_x1, and Master Bruce. Those are the guys I'm closest to on the Hype largely through the RPG section of the forums or also MSN or also even Facebook. Sucks that I can only pick 6 people I'd pick more if I could.
Who is your Hype drunken duet partner? I'd say Byrd Man. He understands me even when I'm being a pain and I understand him.
What will you sing? Anything if I know and like it. Sometimes will go to Karaoke places with friends. If I had to pick a genre I'm typically good at though would be R&B and Romance songs (woo'd a few chicks I previously dated that way lol).
Have you ever met anyone from the Hype in real life? Yes I've met Keyser Soze, twylight, Green Lantern, wiegeabo, & Mad Rhapsody.
have you ever posted commando? Probably at least once while changing or something.
What brought you to the Hype? My older brother started viewing this website and forums and he would show me threads regarding superhero movies.
What keeps you here? The Hype RPGs and the DC Comics section. I don't view the movie type of boards and threads anymore sadly. I'm kinda annoyed of how the internet is spoiling too much superhero movie stuff.
Link us to a thread you enjoy: http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=350513
you're going on WhoWantstoBeaMillionaire, which member of the Hype would be your Phone-A-Friend? wiegeabo. That guy's a freakin' genius.
Which two Hype Members would you like to compete against in Jepoardy?
Which two Mods? Two hype members would be Byrd Man and Harlekin. Two Mods would be Master Bruce and TheCorpulent1.
Hype Crush? It is completely ok to say that I have a man crush on Harlekin. The dude rocks.
Hype Nemesis? Don't have any sort of Nemesis to be honest.
What is your favorite Smiley? The awesome smiley of course:
Least favorite? The I Kid You Not smiley
Take the opportunity now to clear up one misconception about you. Sure. Just because often times I can make a post that is critiquing someone or some post and has a tone of seriousness to it doesn't mean I'm being negative or conveying any sort of emotion. To me it's about a sense of that I can be professional with someone and not be emotional just because of what I'm saying.
What is your Hype Pet Peeve? People who post in threads that have some sort of format to them and simply don't post correctly.
What SHH event (that you not necessarily had to be a part in) has given you the most enjoyment? The World of Heroes: DC RPG game in the Hype RPG section. And if that somehow doesn't count then the first RPG Awards we had in 2007.

i'm bad with hyphens

 

[Marx]

I don't believe I've seen your name around the forums. Is there any particular forum that you spend the majority of your time in? If so, what is it?

 

[twylight]

I'm totally the 7th person you would have picked huh? RIGHT?


Anyway...

For those of us who have short memories, which characters have you RPed in the past?

Which was your favorite season out of any RPG?

Who's better looking; Me or Wieg? Soze or GL? Soze or Me?

Were you very frustrated with me the first time we talked on the phone and I was trying to give you directions? Was it worth it?

List the all reasons why you love Greg Rucka.

Sorry. I must've overlooked that.

Have you or anyone you know been affected by the economic mess?

How much does gasoline cost per gallon in your area?

 

[twylight]

Sorry. I must've overlooked that.

No worries, I did the same with Byrd's questions myself.

 

[Harls]

How do you like your PB&J?

 

[trustyside-kick]

Are you an illegal alien? Lol, charming as ever, byrd. No I was born in New York and raised there until I moved to Texas when I was a pre-teen.

Why did you just lie about the above question? Charming again my friend.

Why is Aquaman your favorite superhero? I love that you can look at his history for the past 30+ years of when they really started to go a certain path with him and it is all actually gradual character development. Like many heroes while there are subtle differences between the 60s and now, Aquaman over all has all of that in cannon. So I see his progression from the death of his child, to finding out more about his true past, etc etc, to him getting angrier and such as character development for so long. What PAD did in the 90s only made sense the guy has had a tragic life.

Again, why? To add more, I've always been fond of water-related characters generally and I love mythology and his mythos have some ties to the myths of Atlantis and other Greek mythological characters/places/items. Lastly I see so much potential with a character who actually has a really good supporting cast and PLENTY of villains that simply need to be re-used more. There are no bad characters, after all.

For those of us who have short memories, which characters have you RPed in the past? Most known for my Aquaman and Jason Todd work in the DC RPG, and had some brief runs as Hawkman and a very brief arc with Lagoon Boy and Merlyn. Had a blast doing a awesome arc of Echo & Daredevil with Harl and Byrd and others I believe when I was in the Marvel RPG. I established the mythos for Ultimate Aquaman in the DC RPG of course and pre-reboot of that game I had a fun tenure as Ultimate Despero before JB went AWOL and other people just fell off the wayside as well as a quick arc with Ultimate Clayface and Ultimate Brother Blood (THAT was a fun fight with Optikal's Ultimate Hawkman at the end). Knowing that I have left others out since I've been RPing on these forums for so long I will just end this question with saying that it has been a blast these past 6 years.

Which was your favorite season out of any RPG? I forget if it was Season I or II of CAH where we did the Invasion arc. Some of my best writing came before and after that arc for character development with my created character.

Who's better looking; Me or Wieg? Soze or GL? Soze or Me? You, Soze, and you. Lol. I saw Soze in the spandex that one day so...sorry GL. =[

Were you very frustrated with me the first time we talked on the phone and I was trying to give you directions? Was it worth it? I wasn't frustrated at all and of course it was worth it. Was great to finally meet some of the people on the Hype I've grown close to at SDCC 2010.

List the all reasons why you love Greg Rucka: Everything I have read so far that he has written has been pure gold. There are still some books like Queen & Country I need to check out but the guy has yet to steer me the wrong way. Also, he is the type of writer that looks sometimes towards the non A-list characters and does something with them or creates/establishes a minority/uncommon type of character and does so much development and good ideas with them. He is the type of writer that any writer should aspire towards. Plus he just had some little spiel he gave about the current superhero movie industry regarding Hollywood's dumb opinions that I fully agree with.

Have you or anyone you know been affected by the economic mess? It took a long time for the economic mess to affect our area of Texas. I live in Sugar Land which is about 20-25min away from the Houston Areas. I also live within the wealthy part of the city so it took even longer to affect our community. It has affected me only the last year because my boss has cut back on hours and has made me make a type of schedule for everyone that I really dislike, including myself, as I'm still paying for school and working.

How much does gasoline cost per gallon in your area? I filled up yesterday and it was around $3.36 per gallon I believe.

How do you like your PB&J? Not too much PB. Some people can put way too much I put just enough to cover one of the slices of bread. For J, sometimes I will go with Strawberry over Grape...not sure which I like more.

 

[twylight]

Scale of 1-10 how much do you miss JB?

[SuperFerret]

How well can you swim?

Who do you think is the best host of Inside the Poster's Studio?

Who's better looking: me or twy?

 

[trustyside-kick]

Scale of 1-10 how much do you miss JB? About a 7. It's not like he at least mentioned that he might be gone a while. He just has been AWOL.

Do you know any good empanada recipes? Only thing I know how to make is ramen. And damn good ramen.

If I were to visit Texas, what would you suggest I bring with me? I think you'd be well enough prepared given where you live. Nothing you'd need in particular.

If you could dye your hair any color what would it be? Some shade of brown.

Are you picking up any of DC's 52 #1's? Which ones? I am. Currently the books I am getting for sure are: Aquaman, Savage Hawkman, Justice League, Justice League Dark, Wonder Woman, Batwoman, Demon Knights, OMAC. Some maybes after they come out and I hear about them or take a peak at are books like Men of War, Blue Beetle, Batgirl, Nightwing, Redhood & the Outlaws, Grifter, and Static Shock.

Favorite 2011 movie you've seen? Horrible Bosses.

Favorite movie ever? The Godfather

How well can you swim? Fairly well. I can't do all the different types of strokes though.

Who do you think is the best host of Inside the Poster's Studio? Wow, way to put me in the situation where I'm one of the candidates...ass. I think the only way I can answer this question is by going by the people interviewed by each "host" of the show. So I will go with Byrd Man. He interviewed a lot of people I wanted to interview but tried to keep the thing fair and not do many 2nd interviews.

Who's better looking: me or twy? Is this really a fair question? I've seen a pic of you in a Superman costume...ugh I hate that you've put me in a hard situation in another question. I'm going to get attacked for this but you.

Did your swimming ability help when it came time to cross the Rio Grande?

Who is your favorite historical figure?

If you had a time machine and could go back to witness one historical event, what would it be?

 

[trustyside-kick]

Did your swimming ability help when it came time to cross the Rio Grande? I can see that you were looking forward to the day that this thread would be made. I can only imagine that you actually have a stack of these type of questions that you are impatiently having to spread out, lol.

Who is your favorite historical figure? I can't really say I have one.

If you had a time machine and could go back to witness one historical event, what would it be? Like the question about regarding a historical figure can't say there is one for me I care about. Majority of huge historical events involve violence in some sort of manner and the ones that don't do not really interest me. I'm not a history buff.

 

[twylight]

*GASP* I'm so ugly you picked SF over me?

Good call with Byrd, he's my favorite ITPS host too.

Questions *MORE*:

Why would you pick brown hair dye and not something crazy?

What's your favorite color?

Can I have your ramen recipe?

Not a fan of history?! You mean you never learned of the happy Cinco De Mayo when your people defeated the French? Or back in the 50's when you Comrades threw that despot Batista out of Cuba for good?!

I'm shocked. I really am.

What's your favorite sport?

How about favorite athlete?

 

[twylight]

Because I read Byrd's post wrong, I now need to know. What is your favorite airport?

 

[trustyside-kick]

Why would you pick brown hair dye and not something crazy? I've never been a person to wonder how I would look with something that wasn't practical with my looks. I'd look ridiculous as a blonde since I'm a tanned hispanic male. So cross out one of the other natural/normal colors. And I always knew that if I had an unnatural hair color I'd look dumb. Brown is practical depending on the shade with my skin tone and such.

What's your favorite color? Blue

Can I have your ramen recipe? I simply don't make it as it is instructed to make it. The way that mainly my asian friends make it and some other people I know is that they simply put the brick of noodles into the boiling water and they do not put the flavor pack until after it is cooked. I first take two knives, holding them upside down and use the heavy blunt end to mash up the bag of ramen to where all the noodles are essentially in pieces. Then I put it into the water and when the water starts boiling is when I put the flavor packs in and then I add a little bit of salt and pepper in and if I feel like it a the yolk from an egg (not as common for me) and scramble it about. I let it cook until the water is all gone so I don't put much water in in the first place and when it is finished it is moreso flavor packed noodles than a soup with noodles and not in huge strings of noodle that make it more annoying to eat.

Do you have any hobbies other than writing and comics? Movies, TV Shows, Video games, Music, Karaoke, Performing music, Latin Dancing, digital art.

Any game consoles? PS3, PS2, Playstation, N64, SNES.

 

[trustyside-kick]

What's your favorite sport? Favorite sport to play is Basketball but I haven't been in shape for it for a good while. Favorite sport to watch though is Baseball. I still root for my home team even though I moved away from NY and it is easier to catch when a Yankee Game is playing than the Knicks. And the Knicks don't have as good a track record obviously lol.

How about favorite athlete? I haven't watched sports seriously enough to have one anymore. When I was a kid I had some favorite line-ups from the Knicks and the Yankees but when I moved away from NY and didn't have cable at first I started to care less about sports since I couldn't watch my favorite teams and players anymore.

Because I read Byrd's post wrong, I now need to know. What is your favorite airport? I've only been on an airplane like three times in my entire life. I've traveled across many different states in the US but ala the good old fashion American Family Road Trip type of deal. I guess out of the few airports I've been to I liked San Diego's the most.

[Lantern Venom]

If money was no object, what is the one comic book/ super hero related collectible you would like to own?

 

[trustyside-kick]

What happens if you get scared half to death twice? I'm a pretty shy person and have been trying to get out of that shell a while now. Over the years I'd say I've gone a long way but if I had two near death experiences I'd probably strive to push that even more. My shyness is something I dislike most about myself and I can't understand how I'm not shy in certain things just yet but if you change 1 variable that always changes no matter how small.

If you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer? Yes

If a word in the dictionary were mispelled, how would we know? I wouldn't. Unless it was in that one printed dictionary and I saw the mispelled entry and then checked online because often times I look towards dictionary.com if I can't recall how a word is spelled.

Is there another word for synonym? Maybe not in the strictest and same definition but I'd assume so.

Can vegetarians eat animal crackers? I don't see why not.

Do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections? I would assume they do since the staff are handling the needles so should some accident arise they are in danger.

Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny? I doubt a cannibal would mind.

If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong? Depends on what he is saying.

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation? No. I'd say it is considered a suicide attempt. And if public then it's still just a suicide attempt.

How young can you die of old age? If you mean strictly of old age with no other factor then I don't know. But I'd say the bigger factor is your eating habits. I have a relative in the Dominican Republic who is 103 and she seems fine. Given it is a poor country they don't eat as many food products since they cannot afford it and eat mainly naturally grown food.

If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back? No

How many people does it take to change a searchlight bulb? I'd assume one.

Is it still real to you? What are you referring to?

Post 5 songs/singles you want us to listen. Superfast Jellyfish by The Gorillaz, Unbelievable by Craig David, Edge of Desire by John Mayer, Mockingbird by Eminem, Simple and Clean by Utada Hikaru.

If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked? Should be dead. But yea it would be homeless and naked too...

Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines? For all I know there could be blind people who like to go to the bank themselves and they have a driver take them and the car pulls up to the backseat window so the blind person can do the transaction themselves.

What do batteries run on? *shrugs*

If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages? Don't know.

Do you have any infractions? If so, do you care to tell us how you got them? Don't have any.




What is your least favorite word? Don't know.

What turns you on? Typically brown or black haired woman but a blonde is nice every now and then if she doesn't have a fake tan to go with it. However if you find a hot redhead...a hot redhead IS a hot redhead and is the wildcard. Like Christina Hendricks. Just...damn. Typically I'm attracted to Hispanic, Asian, or Filipino woman but also am attracted to Whites. I have no true preference though just those are the common head-turners for me.

What turns you off? If it is a girl I do not know and I see her at a party and she is overly revealing in her dress. I don't think that revealing necessarily means sexy it conveys the ****ty look moreso. I like it if a girl looks classy while she is sexy. And I hate handjobs. Does nothing for me.

What sound do you love? Don't know.

What sound do you hate? Don't know.

What is your favorite curse word? F*** (should be obvious which word that is).

What profession other than yours would you like to attempt? Marine Biologist

What profession would you not like to do? Anything involving Physics.

If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? That I led a good live because I think that is our only purpose for being here: to live a good life.

Are there any questions? Not really. Guess it would depend on how and when I died after.

If money was no object, what is the one comic book/ super hero related collectible you would like to own? Justice League of America #1 in perfect condition I guess.
