So You want to be a Superhero...

...but you never learned to fly, weren't bitten by a radioactive spider, have not been exposed to massive amounts of radiation, weren't born on a foreign planet...you might think you are out of luck. Fortunately, Cryptic Studios and Marvel have you covered.
MMOs (Massively Multi-Player Online) games have been gaining more and more popularity. Everquest is perhaps the best known...a world in which people have sunk so low as to need in-game opportunities to order Pizza Hut...that's right, gamers have gotten so lame they can't even be bothered to pick up the phone to order pizza, there are places IN THE GAME where they can do so with as little need for himan interaction as possible...but there are others out there.
And now for the comic book geek in all of us you will soon have the option to (electronically) don the cape and tights and go around doing good and saving the world. Well, you already could in City of Heroes and Villains but now you will have the chance to encounter Captain America.
Although I made some snarky, mocking comments above, this is actually a pretty fun idea. Role playing games have held the interest of nerds everywhere and now you don;t need to get together with friends to fight dragons and slay monsters (Everquest) or to be a superhero. And at the end of the day, for people who like that in their entertainment, that is pretty cool. Nicely done, Marvel, Microsfot and Cryptic Studios!
