Pffft, yer story sucks.  I had a dream the other night which would
make a MUCH better story.  Basically in the dream there was this guy
who wound up getting like super powers and was kinda siding towards
using them for evil.  See the story would be realistic in that you
couldn't REALLY use the powers to "save the day" cause the likelihood
of ever really "getting there in the nick of time"...well that's just
not plausible.  So in the story I figure I'd have him actually try and
do the whole "good guy" thing but then have it get all messed up cause
real life isn't like comic books.  So then he'd be siding towards
evil, like in my dream, only the thing is, there's nothing really to
stop him.  I mean he can do whatever he wants and there just isn't
anything that can really prevent him.  So it winds up kinda making him
go insane a bit and he keeps like trying to get caught, but even when
he gets caught he gets bored and then pretty much just escapes from
jail without the slightest bit of effort.  And so then I figured I'd
have him go REALLY insane to the point where he would like try to kill
himself...only then he'd find out that he can't.  I figured I'd make
him super strong/impenetrable like Superman...only without the ability
to fly (so he couldn't just fly into the sun).  Or I could make him
more like Vandal Savage (so he wouldn't be able to drown himself).  So
then he would go REALLY crazy and would just start
killing...everybody.  I'd have him like go through a town, walk up to
every person and just like start snapping their necks, one by one,
with nothing able to stop him.  So then after killing off nearly all
teh people in some major city I'd have him like wandering through the
empty city full of dead people and then he would realize that if he
kept on killing everybody then there wouldn't be anybody left but him
and that, that would be an even WORSE fate, having to be alone for all
of eternity.  So then after he has his epiphany...BOOM!  A nuclear
bomb is dropped on the city...but does it actually kill him?  Well,
that's for theoretical book number 2.  ^_^
