The cast of KML Saves the Day recently sat for a brief Q+A. The
subject: superheroes. Read below for some interesting answers to some
bionically powered questions.
1. If you had a superpower, what would it be and (briefly) why?
Erin Carter: To be able to stun people with my badass dance moves.
Joel Dovev: My superpower, well, I would be the best bouncer ever. Kind
of like Patrick Swayze at the Double Deuce Bar in the movie Roadhouse. I would tear shit up.
Andy Alabran: It would be to live till 140 years old. I’m having too good of a time here!
Molly Berry: If I had a superpower it would be to physically transport myself anywhere in time at any moment of time by way of a plutonium-powered, silver DeLorean.
2. What would your costume be if you were a superhero?
Molly: A plaid button shirt with the sleeves rolled up, an orange puffy vest aka "life preserve", levi jeans and white nikes with red swooshes.
Regina Melzer: Ooo, a mix of sporty and fashionable...like audrey hepburn mixed with the powerpuff girls mixed with Laura Croft.
Jon Wolanske: Knowing me, whatever it is, it’d probably be an outfit made up of parts found at Crossroads.
Andy: Tighty Whities. And nothing else.
3. What person/place/thing is your 'kryptonite' (ultimate disabling weakness)?
Erin: "What A Feeling" from Flashdance.
Regina: those REALLY loud motorcycle engines, they turn my ear drums inside out...(people always think new dangly earrings....but if you see dangly earrings on me...nope--REALLY LOUD MOTORCYCLE!!!)
Joel: The #17 from King of Thai Noodle.
4. Which comic book hero or hero from the real world do you most identify with and why?
Andy: Inspector Gadget. I love gadgets.
Jon: Wolverine. Mainly for the hair. My hair looks almost exactly like that when it grows a little long.
5. Superhero scenario one: you are walking along a sidestreet and notice a woman and her baby carriage are crossing the street--impervious to a large, evil truck barreling along about to hit them! What do you do?
Erin: First, I pull out my stereo and pop in Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison." Then I look to the west to make sure the sun is setting in the distance and that perhaps there is a slight falling of rain. I tear off my civilian clothing to reveal my ultra-suave lycra and/or mesh bodysuit. Then I spring over to the woman and baby carriage, sweep the both of them up onto my back by doing the worm and then moonwalk on out of there, the rain still slightly falling...
Regina: I see the massive, sinister truck in my periferal vision and I jump into the air swirling all the inertia-energy with my initial jump and when I land the ground sort of turns into waves of malliable cement, and when the ripple of inertia reaches the truck it throws the truck 8 miles into the air, which would be up past the atmosphere of earth and just at that time hits the meteorite that was headed to destroy earth which was my reason of walking down this particular sidestreet to my headquarters to figure out a way to either deflect or blow up that meteorite...ahhh but the universe provides and I saved the lady and baby, and the world!
Andy: I’d say, "Look out!"
6. Superhero scenario two: you are at a dinner party and, while in the bathroom, notice that the toilet paper is down to the last two squares on the roll with no refill. You need toilet paper, but that handsome/pretty guest you have your eyes on is in line right behind you. What do you do?
Jon: Clearly, I’d leave the two squares on the sink for said guest and I’d use the roll tube. Which I guess I’d then have to throw away in the garbage can, since it wouldn’t flush. I’d throw a towel on top of the garbage can thereafter.
Molly: I would take one square for myself, leave the next for the handsome guest in line behind me (in case he needs it) and then leave my phone number on the mirror for him, written in my Superhero Red Lipstick of course.
Joel: I’d call my superhero friend Super Hand, he’ll take one for the team. [Note: you will have to see KML Saves the Day to know what Joel means by this…]
7. Describe your ultimate superhero lair (briefly).
Joel: One of the cool living room’s set up at IKEA.
Jon: My superhero lair would have to be secret. And I don’t think anyone would expect me to live with Joel. So I’d say my secret lair would be Joel’s secret lair. I hope Kristen would be okay with this. I mean—in the end, it’s to save lives.
Regina: I am a citizen of the world and have secret lairs in many places, like Sicily, France, Japan, Sweden, North Beach in SF, etc. All the entrances to my lairs are my favorite restaurants in these places, I have a secret door in all and in the shape of an 8 (the number 8 is my branding symbol).
Andy: My lair includes boxes and boxes of Astroglide.
