Absolutely. I've done it at work and won a bet doing it.

Not if it's Schrodinger's cake. Unless of course you actually eat it and have some way of observing it.
This sentence brought up the horrific image of having eyes in my mouth. /shudder

If you could have another eye somewhere on your body, where would you want it, and why?
This is an odd question... but to be perfectly frank, smack dab in the middle of my forehead. It would take the least amount of damage there.

Probably not a good idea to have them on your fingertips.

Lamest DC villain?

Mr. Mxyzptlk. Not even sure if he's a villain or not.

Seems like a bad version of Loki. Or Bat-Mite.

Best DC super villain, then?

Opening the spoilers here could totally ruin Watchmen for you if you haven't read it.

While I am compelled to nominate the Joker due to the striking hero/villain between him and Batman, I will instead nominate
Spoiler:
Ozymandias
from Watchmen;
Spoiler:
he is calculating, manipulative, and is the only villain I know who comes out on top.

I'm not really interested in reading Watchman, so no problems.

What about Vampire Batman though?

Give Watchmen a try. Alan Moore is the dark chocolatier of comic books. Watchmen, while heavy and a little depressing, is incredibly rich and vividly detailed. Same goes for V for Vendetta (although the art is much harder on the eyes).

Vampire Batman? Google says the Batman of Earth 43 is a vampire, but I can't speak to much else. I know Morbius was a self-made vampire who worked alongside Spider-man though. Yay for Marvel!

I'm good. Not a fan of graphic comic books. Or stories that take themselves too seriously. Even Batman, whom I love, sometimes makes me roll my eyes.

Also, Morbius is awesome.

Blade?

Can't say I'm too familiar with Blade. I do, however, know that Deadpool carries two of them.

I love Deadpool. Well, sorta. He's kinda...off. But hilarious.

How about Marvel flavored answers to the questions above?

The lamest Marvel villain...

That is a tough question. I'm gonna say I was never too thrilled by Doctor Doom, though.

As for the best marvel villain, that's an even tougher question. It's hard to balance the raw brilliance of Thanos against the hero/villain duality of Galactus, and even tougher to have both of those outshine the raw human story duality that the Green Goblin brought into play. Harry Osborne struggled with drug abuse and depression, and this was written in the 70's as a comic book. for it's day, it was a new level of depth, especially considering the juvenile rap that comics always get.

Have you ever tried to think up of completely useless superpowers? If so, what's been your favorite?

Once you actually get to know the doc, he's actually pretty terrifying. With a side of odd humanity that is subsequently crushed.

To continue the line of endless comic book questions, best and worst Marvel heroes?

I've never tried, but I think I've got one. Extreme Metabolism Acceleration: being that your metabolism runs at nearly five times the rate of a normal human, many otherwise poisonous substances are now harmless and you can digest nearly anything. Unfortunately, you will need near constant sustenance lest you starve.

That is a tough question, but at least we can cross out Deadpool, as he's technically not a hero or a villain. He's a mercenary.

Worst hero should be easy to answer. Howard the Duck. I've never seen him be useful in anything.

As for best hero... I will not allow myself to use any of the Guardians of the Galaxy, as I have not read the comics yet. Thor can be entertainingly obtuse, Iron Man bleeds suave, and Captain America as as american a hero as logic will allow, but I will not count them. No Hulk either. The Fantastic Four have never really struck me as interesting, personally. This leaves the X-Men and Spider-Man up to contest.

Wolverine is a very interesting case. For how different he is, he is distinctly human, more so than some non-mutants even. That being said, he is also a nigh-unstoppable engine of destruction that's amazing to watch. Spider-Man, however, has always been known for his humanity and how easy it is to relate to him compared to other heroes. He's just a man. He has to hold a job. He worries about things. He's mortal. He has to keep secrets.

I've always enjoyed Spider-Man for that reason, so I will assign him the crown.

I totally understand that. O_o And I loves Spiderman. I don't know if I could answer that question, to be honest.

Random dancing?
