scarfmanPick a character that I have written, or that you know I have substantial headcanon about, and ask any five questions about him/her. Be sure to specify whether you would like responses to be OOC (responding as the writer) or IC (responding as the character).

Re: I Summon Forth the Man of Tomorrow.
Date: 2009-06-27 03:30 pm (UTC)When you first appeared on the scene, you were the only one of your kind. Things have changed, most notably in Gotham City. How do you feel about that and, specifically, what is your opinion of the Batman?
Well, there's no question that our styles are very different. The Batman's made some choices that I would never make, and he's made some choices that I think are admirable. In his case and in general, I'm pleased that I've inspired others to do good, while at the same time I'd never recommend it to anyone, and I hope they know how to keep themselves safe.
Why do you think that Lex Luthor hates you so?
I'd prefer not to speculate on something I don't understand. I've seen him quoted to complain that I don't share my powers. I think that's what I am doing.
Clark Kent of the Daily Planet wrote in his column last week that you must be the loneliest man on Earth. How do you feel about that assessment?
I am the only survivor of my people, but at the same time, I was raised here on Earth. How can I say this? I'm not the last son of Krypton all the time. I thank Clark for his empathy, but I think he was having a bad day.
Does the report released by the Obama administration indicating that the Iranians are possibly stockpiling kryptonite worry you?
It's a concern, yes, but it's unverified, and I'm only one man. There are bigger concerns in the world.
It would seem that having the ability to see through solid objects and hear ever baby cry, traffic jam, and cell phone call on the globe would be difficult to manage. Is that the case?
Even augmented under Earth's yellow sun, my super senses developed over time, just like anyone's senses do, and my brain learned to handle them as they grew. I reflexively focus on what's got my attention at the moment, but I've also trained my ear to be sensitive to distant sounds that may mean an emergency condition. It's the same as when you're trying to read while someone's got the TV on: most people can tune out what they're not interested in, at least to a degree. But if there's a loud noise or a police siren from the TV, or from the window, you'll be momentarily distracted.

1) Is your interest in Earth personal or professional? That is, do you keep an eye on this particular planet simply because you find it interesting, or because it's important in a larger sense, or something in between?
2) Often your choice of traveling companions - human ones, at least - seems haphazard. How much thought do you put into your choices, or are they really as random as they appear?
3) Was Susan really your grand-daughter? If not, was that merely a human translation for a more complex Gallifreyan blood relationship, or merely a title of respect?
4) Given that you're know to cheat on your age (c'mon, degenerative time loops shouldn't really count, should they?), how many years long is your personal timeline so far?
5) What's the most surprising room in the TARDIS?

What's interesting about you stupid apes is the way you go on from the 21st century to insinuate yourselves throughout the history of the entire universe. It wouldn't be the same without you, an' I'm duty-bound to protect it, an' that's the only reason I pay so much attention to you lot. The only reason. Next question.
2) Often your choice of traveling companions - human ones, at least - seems haphazard. How much thought do you put into your choices, or are they really as random as they appear?
I've said it before, an' I'll say it again: I only take the best.
3) Was Susan really your grand-daughter? If not, was that merely a human translation for a more complex Gallifreyan blood relationship, or merely a title of respect?
Yeah, she was really my granddaughter. She knew the Death Zone when we got caught in it, didn't she?
4) Given that you're know to cheat on your age (c'mon, degenerative time loops shouldn't really count, should they?), how many years long is your personal timeline so far?
Wotya mean, they shouldn't count? You get caught in a degenerative time loop, you didn't live those years any more, didja? Not just the time but the experiences robbed from you. How are you even supposed to know how much time you lost? Besides, who counts after the first thousand?
5) What's the most surprising room in the TARDIS?
Ah, now, that'd be the surprise room. Different every time you open the door.
