When a toaster fell into his bath, Stewart Gilligan Griffin was transformed into THE MIGHTY TOASTER-MAN. And not since Bruce Banner was trapped in a gamma-bomb explosion have I meant the phrase “Don’t try this at home” more. Still, it does bring up an interesting question of superhero naming conventions, as Peter Parker was nearly killed by a dying arachnid, but still chose to honor it in his new identity. Or Bruce Wayne, who had to pay an exorbitant amount to get a glazier to fix the massive bay window in Wayne Manor. Or Clark Kent, who got his powers after being bitten by a radioactive building maintenance person, leading us to today’s relatively goofy query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) notes that the device you’re reading this on doesn’t count, or we’ll all end up being The Amazing Laptop-Woman, asking: The last electric-powered item you touched is now your superhero name, just like Toaster-Man. What’s your new nom de guerre?
