Please consider the following my application for membership.

I submit for your consideration the following superpowers/abilities/equipment: One (1) GFM 5 Megapixel Digital Camera. I am well aware that this is more of an accessory than an innate talent/mutation/alien birthright, however that doesn’t stop Green Arrow or Robin, does it?

Utilizing its 2.4 inch screen and handy carrying case I will photograph crime and relay it back to the Super Friends so that the heavies like Superman or Batman or Aquaman can take over when we need the muscle. Yes, I was joking about Aquaman. On the off chance Aquaman is the one reading this letter, hey. I don’t really mean anything by it. It’s just kind of what everyone says about you. No hard feelings.

So, special moves: well I have an Enchanted USB Cable that allows me to upload photos to any computer with a Pentium III or higher, provided it’s running an OS somewhere between Windows 98 and Vista, and my Magical Driver CD allows me to force any of the above-mentioned computers to accept my camera and its formatting. Much like Green Lantern’s ring, my camera is powered by two Cosmic AAA batteries, which also must be recharged. Assuming I buy the rechargeable kind and have a charger. Otherwise I just have to replace them. Oooh, and I’m a really good shot with the camera, since with 32 MB of memory I really don’t have a lot of room for error.

As far as nemeses, I don’t really have one lined up yet. I suppose somebody fast would do, since, y’know, it’s hard to take a picture of something moving. Now in terms of weaknesses, how’s this for kryptonite: my camera deletes all the photos if the batteries die. Imagine the tension and dramatic exposition! Will he find a computer in time?! Can he remember his Windows password? Did he forget to bring the Enchanted USB Cable?! Epic stuff.

And way more interesting than anything Zan or Jayna ever did.

Sincerely,

Reginald V. Johnson, II
