Why stop there?  You could sacrifice all your limbs and body parts.
Just put your brain into a robot stuffed with gadgets.

Wouldn't recommend it though with today's technology.

Now THAT'S a good use of the situation.   Reminds me of Forge in Marvel.  

I'll amend my initial response to say both legs and one armand choose Superhuman Intelligence, Super speed, and Telekinesis Nate Grey style).  I still would want to keep my right arm though.

Still...yeesh.

Maybe sacrifice my limbs to gain Magic, to replace my lost body parts with enhanced ones.

I couldn't really think of anything just to permanently lose.

[Smackgiver]

Precisely the reason I chose Superhuman Intelligence as a substitute.  I would engineer nuclear-powered prosthetics that would emulate my original limbs in every function, but make 'em better (again, I'm using Forge as an example).  Even enhance my other biological appendages as well.

Plus, think of the patents I'd have for the new breed of technology I'd be pumping out.

QUESTION 3: If you could take any group of supers (including HEROES and/or VILLAINS) from ANY fictional universe to form a team that DOES NOT already exist, who would you group together, what would you name the group, and why?

Team W.O.N.D.E.R.-
Wonder Man as strategist, bruiser, blaster, scrapper, reconnaissance, infiltration and leader
Wonder Woman as as strategist, bruiser, scrapper, reconnaissance, infiltration
The Wonder Twins as bruiser, scrapper, reconnaissance, infiltration
Robin (as The Boy Wonder, or more accurate to the team, Wonder Boy) as tech expert, strategist, scrapper, reconnaissance, infiltration
Wonder Girl as bruiser, scrapper, reconnaissance, infiltration

[Smackgiver]

Thematic.  Nice.

[WonderDrow]

Team W.O.N.D.E.R.-
Wonder Man as strategist, bruiser, blaster, scrapper, reconnaissance, infiltration and leader
Wonder Woman as as strategist, bruiser, scrapper, reconnaissance, infiltration
The Wonder Twins as bruiser, scrapper, reconnaissance, infiltration
Robin (as The Boy Wonder, or more accurate to the team, Wonder Boy) as tech expert, strategist, scrapper, reconnaissance, infiltration
Wonder Girl as bruiser, scrapper, reconnaissance, infiltration


I approve.

 Thanks.

Because of popularity ratings.
Wonder Man didn't get as much love from Hollywood as the Hulk did.

In the case of Deathstroke versus JLA? The superhuman version of This would explain it.
Well, from a writers point of view it's just more interesting to allow a lone wolf to beat a pack.

 Are you talking about Wonder Man v Red Hulk, or Wonder Man v. Green Hulk?

Certainly. It's a shame how little mainstream appreciation.

[Smackgiver]

I actually collected all of Wonder Man's solo title backin the 90's.  He is one of the most under appreciated characters, IMHO.  If one were going purely by OHOTMU stats, I personally think Wondy could take the Hulk, if he could dispatch him quickly enough.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

He really is quite awesome.

[Smackgiver]

Wow.  This is the first time I've ever come across someone who has even a hint of the same viewpoint on Simon as I do.  You must know that we're <ahem>  unusual, as regards typical Marvel fandom.  

More power to you, Wulf!

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Why, thank you. And a tip of the hat, to you, as well. As much as I like the mainstream folks, the lesser-knowns are a lot of fun, as well.

 Personally, I'm in love with nearly any and all superhumans.

Even the more whimsical ones, like Arm-Fall-Off Boy are endeared to me, simply by virtue of having capabilities that I do not.

Of course, some folks are much more inclined to garner my awe, while others attract my attention in regards to what could be done to make them more impressive and well-accepted, but nearly every superhuman gets love from me. In fact, I have to admit, 'publicity underdogs' like Wonder Man, Quake, Songbird, the Wonder Twins and (to a lesser extent, as of recently) Aquaman, all get especial attention from me.

Just today, I was musing on a hope to see Angar the Screamer in some future upcoming Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode.

I mean, really, the lesser known ones just tend to have more creative (and thus, by my measure, more impressive) powers. Superhuman Strength, Shapeshifting, Flight, Precognition and Laser Vision are all nice, but I'd take an Ionic Form, Sonic Energy Constructs, Shapeshifting, Twin Telepathy and Aquatic Omnilingualism over those any day, as far as fun reading and watching goes.

Pick a superhuman (hero or villain), who has donned more than one costume throughout the ages. Which of their costumes do you like best (and/or least), and why?

(Posting pics is optional, but appreciated)

I'll go first.

Storm (Ororo Munroe) has had quite few different costumes.



 But of all of the different ones, my favorite has got to be this one:



And it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to guess why.
