i know there are a bunch of writers of superhero/supervillain characters, so here are so question prompts for your characters! you can pick a few & have a bunch of characters answer, have one character answer them all, or whatever you'd like! i'll have my characters answer as examples.

  • who's your favorite superhero character outside of your canon?
    Simon: Definitely Wonder Woman. She's canonically queer, she kicks ass, and looks fantastic while doing it. Also Gal Gadot is so freaking pretty.
  • who's your favorite supervillain character outside of your canon?
    CJ: Since he's usually written as a villain, I guess he counts, so Loki! He's super cool.
  • if you could have any power that isn't the one you currently have, what would it be?
    Logan: I feel like teleportation would be really cool and it has a ton of practical uses. But if we're talking just for fun, maybe flight.
  • which superpowered character outside of your canon do you emulate as a superhero/supervillain?
    Dean: If you'd asked me when I was first starting out, I probably would have said Batman, but now that I've come into my own a little bit, I'm definitely Jason Todd.
  • if you had to switch powers with any of your teammates/fellow supers, who would you most & least like to switch with?
    Henry: I'd love to switch with Sarah, godlike weather powers just sound fantastic, and I'd probably least want to switch with Logan because I would definitely erase so much important shit from existence.
  • if you have a significant other, do they know about your powers? what do they think about your superheroics or your supervillainy?
    Madeline: Well, I wouldn't consider him my "significant other", but he's sort of forced to worship my every move, so I'd assume Peter thinks very highly of my villainous exploits.
  • how do you keep your secret identity?
    Ava: Especially after James and I got married, we got really worried about anyone finding out we worked with Madeline, so both of us pull a Clark Kent and wear glasses in our daily lives. I also conceal my wings as much as possible.

i'll add more as i think of them, but feel free to add your own as well! enjoy!

Who's your favorite superhero character outside of your canon?
Minnie: Iron Man, 100%! I tend to like snarky dad characters with a deeper personality underneath. Plus, his suit is just cool.
Ethan: Same. I like the sass.
Sage: Me too, I like seeing his softer side.
Reese: I'm partial to Iron Man for obvious reasons. My suit design was based off of his.

Who's your favorite supervillain character outside of your canon?
Minnie: Loki! He needs a hug.
Ethan: I'm also into Loki. I aspire to be that chaotic someday.
Sage: Agatha Harkness. She's got her own theme song, she's magical, she's hilarious, what more could you want?
Reese: Mysterio from Spider-Man FFH. His transition from trusted mentor to traitor and madman is fascinating to watch. I've always liked Jake Gyllenhaal, anyway.

If you could have any power that isn't the one you currently have, what would it be?
Minnie: Super-intelligence? Is that a thing?
Ethan: Oh, I absolutely wanna be super speedy.
Sage: I do wish I could actually FULLY transform into a lynx…
Reese: I suppose super-strength would be very useful… and fun, I guess.

Which superpowered character outside of your canon do you emulate as a superhero/supervillain?
Minnie: Honestly? Peter Parker. I try to stick up for the little guy and protect as many people as I can.
Ethan: I like to think I'm something like Thor. He seems like a cool guy. Although, I'm probably more like Loki than anyone else when it comes to… "certain aspects of my personality"…
Sage: I would love to be as cool as Black Widow, but I'm not usually nearly as level-headed. I try, though!
Reese: I try to emulate Iron Man in both intelligence and tech, however I've been told my personality fits more with that of Dr. Stephen Strange.

If you had to switch powers with any of your teammates/fellow supers, who would you most & least like to switch with?
Minnie: Cap's powers seem much less… explosive than mine. I mean, he basically just throws around blue light frisbees.
Ethan: I think Minnie's powers are badass. I wanna explode shit!
Sage: I'm not sure.. everyone on the team has useful abilities. Cool tech, teleportation, just exploding stuff, whatever it is that Cap does…
Reese: Minnie's powers are very effective in battle. I think I would like to try them out.

If you have a significant other, do they know about your powers? What do they think about your superheroics or your supervillainy?
Minnie: I'm not dating anyone, but I do have a crush on Sage… I'm not sure about what she thinks of me, but I think she's really brave.
Ethan: I don't have feelings for anyone right now, but I admire everyone on the team. If someone asks, this conversation never happened.
Sage: U-uh, I think everyone on the team is really incredible but I do worry about them when we don't fight together… especially Minnie…
Reese: I think everyone here is an idiot, but they do their jobs well. They make up a good team. Not that they will ever hear it from me.

How do you keep your secret identity?
Minnie: Uh… badly? Y'know, I just keep the mask on in public fights and try not to give anything away. Pretty sure it wouldn't be too hard to figure out if someone really tried, though.
Ethan: Same situation as the rest of the team. I try to keep quiet, but sometimes I think people suspect things.
Sage: I'm actually okay at keeping my superhero persona and my regular self separate in public.
Reese: I think I may actually be the only one here who's GOOD at keeping secrets. In fact, Ethan and Minnie tend to come to me when they think someone suspects them. I swear…
