A programmer... Same as in real-life ... what else to do?
Althoug if it would work like the internet, I guess a programmer would be an architect/construction worker?

Hah, great thread :D

Well, going with the city theme, I suppose The Brovengers would the super heroes of Escapostopia.

Except we're not very good >_<

Brovengers! Brossemble!

Slightly late... but better late than never! :p

I would be part of this... ^^^^^

Most probably in a behind the scenes role, mopping up after the others have already been, or in an advisory role, passing on information of new events that need saving... although at the moment I would need training from Topaz for this! :/ He is the best at that! Always catches stuff as it happens! :p

I could probably head the team that prepares battlegrounds... the ones that make civillians dissapear during big battles, and organises the rapid repair of iconic buildings so that they are up and running again quickly! I would probably have a stockpile of most New York buildings and the golden bridge thingy on the other side of the US.... and then, as a lot of the Brovengers are Brits, I would also have most of London the same way!

I would also be in charge of keeping the baddies out of harms way... releasing them one at a time on a schedule for recapture... or once every few years releasing a few at a time to have more of an epic feel!

You obviously put more thought into this than I did :D

I kind of feel lazy now...

I was taught that a good leader is one who, on the outside, appears to do very little... We consistantly use the analogy os a swan on a lake... on the surface they glide effortlessly... under the water they are paddling furiously...

You built the empire... now, using you as the example, it can florish as you imagined...! :D

[sub][sub][sub]God... how cheesy adn arse-lickey did that sound!? :S[/sub][/sub][/sub]

I would just be an employee somewhere that people don't really know exists. Lucky for me, that gives me a lot of leeway for vacations, showing up late or just taking the day off to play whatever big release came out recently :p

Pah, no-one can hold villains of the Injustice League hostage for long, once I escaped from jail with nothing more than a wooden spoon, a slice of cheesecake and two elastic bands! Besides, the prisons of Escapistopia are notorious for being among the worst guarded in the land.

Love the fact that despite me explaining how my prisons work you are still under the impression that you 'escaped...'

No wonder you are still just a henchman! :p

I'd be the elitist owner of a punk record store. I'd be such an elitist prick that I'd only let select customers in, based on their music taste. My horrible business practice would eventually lead to bankrupcy and I'd end up one of those crust punk bums you see with a dog and a cardboard sign that says "Need $$$ for Beer."

I guess I could be the head of the local meat plant. I would go around and snatch all the unique wildlife and slaughter them for meat. And once they're almost all gone, I'll resort to making meat out of my own employees.

It's a fool proof plan. There's no way it can go wrong. Nope.

Captain of the Henchmen I'll have you know... Taco is a kind master to allow me such a position, more than so called "society" which made me into this hulking monster then condemned me. At the Injustice League no-one turns their back on you just because you like to indulge in orphan sandwiches once in a while!

We have more superheros than janitors
What is wrong with us?
Hell, we have as much superheroes as shopowners and only 8 villains.
We seriously need some normal jobs in here.

I'd be the bartender of a decent bar. Probably because I like to listen in on all of the conversations within the forums, and putting in my input whenever I deem it necessary. I also like to ask weird questions, too....

I would probably be a nightfiller at a supermarket. Just like real life

I would be the hobo under the bridge who only comes out, when he has enough pennies to buy a drink. By that I mean I post, but not frequently enough to be a famous hobo, some people may recognize me but I provide very little to the community, also I am lazy.
