If you could bring one fictional character to life for a day, who would you choose?

I’d pick The Man of Steel. We could sure use someone like him in the world right now. This is, of course, assuming that if I bring him to life I have some sort of control over him because I’d have very specific things I’d want him to do. Stuff that, in the comic books, he might not always be willing to do, since Superman is often portrayed as someone who doesn’t want to meddle too much in the course of humanity. But I think we could use a little meddling, here and there.

So first I’d want him to fly around the world with his X-ray vision and finally capture Osama Bin Laden, as well as all the other leaders of Al Queda and other major terrorist groups. And destroy the weapons capabilities of nations like Iran and North Korea. Then, depending on how much time he’s got left in the day, I guess he can spend the rest of his time helping out in natural disasters and stuff. Maybe rebuild some earthquake/flood-damaged homes at superspeed.

And, just because I love this pic, he’s a revamp of Superman, drawn in the mold of pulp-hero Doc Savage, by the amazing Keith Howell
