It has been three years since the fatal experiment at the Dyson Turkey labs that gave birth to a twenty five foot tall burning butter spitting Meleagris Gallopavo (Link).

Every Breath You Take, The Police

Power Archetype: The Symbiotic
I can run from the law, I can run from myself.I can run from my life, I can run into debt.I can run from it all, I can run til I’m gone.I can run for the office and run for my cause.I can run using every last ounce of energy.I cannot, I cannot, I cannot run from my family.They’re hiding inside of me.

Power Archetype: The Mythic
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
W’ell drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming!
The Immigrant Song, Led Zeppelin
The Mythic is perhaps the broadest category we’ve covered so far. From Athena [...]
Power Archetype: The Gadgeteer
I don’t believe it
There she goes again
She’s tidied up and I can’t find anything
All my tubes and wires
And careful notes
And antiquated notions
But, it’s poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
She’s blinding me with science
She Blinded Me With Science, [...]
Power Archetypes: The Speedster
The highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody’s out on the run tonight
But there’s no place left to hide
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul
H-Oh, Someday girl I don’t know when
We’re gonna get to that place
Where we real [...]
Power Archetype: The Mentalist
You’re seeing now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars,
I’ve been living on the edge so long, where the winds of Limbo roar.
And I’m young enough to look at,
And far old to see, all the stars are on the inside.
I’m not sure that’s there’s anything left to me
Veteran of the Psychic Wars, Blue Oyster Cult
