Local superhero unable to think of cool name for newly acquired superpower




Ithaca, NY - Local superhero, Paul Munn, told reporters that his recently discovered ability to always insert USB drives the right way on the first try was somewhat useful, but as superpowers went, incredibly lame.

“I didn’t even get it in a cool way,” he continued. “Y’know, like a highly unstable, experimental quantum computer exploding in my face. Nothing like that... I just got a little static shock while inserting my thumb drive one day, and now I have the world’s most mediocre preternatural skill.”

Sources close to Munn said that he had wanted a superpower for as long as they could remember, even going as far as getting a job in a genetics lab with the express hope that he would be involved in some freak accident.

“They do all this weird messing around with DNA and they use all these really long, scientific words, so you’d think if something was going to go horribly wrong, resulting in a really cool superpower, that’d be the place. But instead, this happens to him...”

“Poor bastard,” sources added.

At press time, Munn still hadn’t settled on a name, but had at least commissioned a skin tight, red and black superhero onesie with the USB 3.0 logo on the chest.
