Superhero: Adaptation

Adaptation has the ability to become what an enemy would find appealing, thus trapping the outlaw.  The abuse of powers have caused womanizing, larceny and general manipulation.  He is similar to a camillian wearing an iridescent suit, although Adaptation remains clearly visible making the abuse he performs a self deception at least and toting superpower entitlement at most.  Any hero flaw can be justified, but Adaptation cares only about becoming what other people would perceive as wonderful.  He brings to culture a sickness of kindness that cares less for other's values rather than how he presents his concern for others.  He may foul up plans of wicked planners, but accidentally seduce a married women.  Yes, the economy will be spared, yet his lavish lifestyle absorbs the tax payer resources beyond a reasonable servant.  He takes clues from polititions and self serving leaders to compete for an entertainer's inflated income.  He is not as much a vigilante as he is hired gun of the weak side of government.

Eulogy for Me

Fire resided in my bones

Rushing waters burst from my belly

My ears were attuned to creation groaning

No longer here; heaven's earth relocating home

Castles I built on sky and sand

For my parents, children, and spouce

Please lend living a hand

My warmth is now cold

Eulogy in Space Time

Someone has been here not too often

Tis pretty ornate as an expensive coffin

Death has an end as immortal is true

Rich colors of earth amber glistening tune
