How to Be Super

[deckardcanine]

You wish to have some superpowers? Here’s what you can do.
Unless you’re born an alien or mutant, they’ll be new.
You could receive a serum as a subject in a lab.
Perhaps you’d drink a potion if you couldn’t stand a jab.
You might get struck by lightning or exposed to radiation
Or splashed with special chemicals without deliberation.
If someone mighty notices your deeds and is impressed,
They may just share some power, tho it wouldn’t be the best.
If lucky, you will come across an artifact or jewel
That rapidly bestows on you abilities quite cool.
What doesn’t seem as lucky is returning from the dead.
I’d rather work with magic or technology instead.
If all else fails, you always can improve your bod and brain
By exercise and learning. Just be careful not to strain.
