With all the bats, cats, spiders and various fauna in superherodom, it’s hard to decide which animal powers would be the best in a hypothetical superhero career. Would it be better to kick like a kangaroo? Or fly like a condor? Maybe glide like a flying squirrel? Heck, you have a range from dinosaurs to chickens and back, and even insects are part of kingdom Animalia, leading to today’s totemic query..
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) is torn between the versatility of the octopus and the power and versatilty of the lion, asking: Which animal powers do you think would be the best for fighting and/or enhancing crime?

Octopus would probably be the best for heist/detective kind of job, Elephant otherwise.
I learned from Alice Otterloop that the best animal is the Pangolin, which “when anxious or disturbed… emits a plaintive cry of warning — PANGO! PANGO! PANGO! Lin?” Also, “it looks like a pine cone, it eats ants, and it curls up in a ball.” I don’t think I have to explain to anyone the obvious advantages that these traits would bring to super-heroics.
