A Comical Question

The question has finally worked its way into my morning conversation. It sits invisibly upon the table, waiting with all the patience of a cat who spots a fledgling bird in its domain. Birthed from my partner’s lips, the spark of life created from Terry’s guest post yesterday, he looks at me before drinking another sip of coffee.
“What comic book character would you be if you had to chose?” As if I am not a comic character in my own right, drawn from organic, flowery imagery and quiet words of contemplation. Would the media not have it that I already have a comic book super power of manipulation and mind control (yes, my sarcasm runneth over). Perhaps I would be noble and be V from V for Vendetta, but that does not count because I believe that is a graphic novel. Maybe Catwoman (because I may grow old and be that crazy cat woman down the street). Maybe Atom Eve from Invincible (I like that she retires from being a super-hero and goes to do good deeds in third-world countries), but I would do a disservice to her over-abundant-brilliance. Math and science are not my strong points.
My final answer? Well, Terry introduced her yesterday - I would be the Enchantress. In spite of her hypnotic powers, she seems very human, moving back and forth between good and evil ( I wonder if she ever saw herself as evil).
Now I bandy the question back at you – what comic book character would you be?
