If Prepping Had Superhero Names—What’s Yours?

[EchoTangoFox]

If prepping were its own comic book universe, what would your superhero name be? I’ve given this way too much thought. I’m leaning towards “The Ham-municator”—patrolling the static waves, ready to spring into action at the first hint of grid failure. My sidekick would obviously be “Battery Boy,” armed with an endless supply of AAs and a solar charger cape.

So, what’s your superhero alter ego in the world of prepping? Are you “The Can Opener,” striking fear into the hearts of stubborn tins? “Captain Multitool” with a gadget for every scenario? Maybe you’re “Barter Babe,” wheeling and dealing for the last pack of freeze-dried chili?

Bonus points for coming up with your superpowers and a ridiculous catchphrase. (Mine is “10-4, Bad Guys!” — trust me, it sounds less corny on the radio.)

Can’t wait to see what the prepping Justice League looks like! Let’s get some

Definitely going with “The Seed Sower”—armed with bottomless pockets full of heirloom seeds and a trusty trowel that doubles as a boomerang. My sidekick would be “Compost Kid,” whose power is literally making anything grow anywhere (plus excellent at stink-based distraction moves). Catchphrase: “Let’s put down roots...and then pull ‘em up!” Anyone else sporting plant-based powers, or am I the lone green thumb in this superhero squad?
