      mikedidonato.com readers and their superpowers

      May 19th, 2006 by mike d. in A Day In The Life...

      currently eating: breakfast

      In honor of the new X-men movie which is coming out this summer I figured I’d fire up a list of mikedidonato readers (occasional and faithful alike) and what I think their mutant super-power should be. If I left you out don’t feel bad, just throw a comment up and I will fix the mistake.

      ShaunMcQuaid: could hold his hands into the air and summon meteors
      Tom: could decrystalize solids at will
      Mykal: could create a shockwave of justice (I don’t know what this means, but it’d be awesome)
      Sander: could turn protein and complex carbohydrates into animal fat
