Speaking of Alter-Egos....

[Sunstone]

What or who is your alter-ego? It need not be a famous cartoon character like superman, either. Who or what do you at times fancy yourself to be?

As for myself, I have sometimes fancied myself to be an artist. Then, I happen to look at my work, and reality hits like a sledge hammer.

 

[Gjallarhorn]

The incarnation of a fallen angel/god. It's very glamorous.

This will probably sound silly, but: a half human, half demon god necromancer mystical martial artist (a la DBZ). He has a name, a back story, the works.

Some kind of experiment and I end up turning out like dark angel or wolverine, along those lines.

I fancies myself to be a Movie Star one day. Not just a regular actor but a Famous Movie Star!

That's awesome! If you're going to have an alter-ego, there's a lot to be said about going whole hog with it. Seems to have a sort of integrity.

That reminds me of those psychologists who say that playfulness in mammals, including humans, is the precursor to doing it. So, for instance, if we play at being movie stars, we might thereby learn something about how to become a movie star.

This is neither here nor there, but wolverines fascinate me. I am especially thrilled, for some reason, by the way they will circle around and end up stalking people who are stalking them. That fact has dissuaded me from ever stalking one, although I thought I once had a chance of doing so on a trip I made to Canada once.

I hope so. I hope I make it.

 

[Me Myself]

I do wonder.

My ex said Harley Quinn was her alter ego.

She called me freakazoid as a name of affection, but if that were my alter ego, who would be me? I am that crazy almost all the time

 

[LuisDantas]

Perhaps the Human Torch. The one from the cover of the first Golden Age appearance, to be more specific. A creature that exudes cleansing flame from his skin in order to apply much-needed purification in itself and its environment.

It is a powerful image for me.

Good luck!

In the end, isn't an alter-ego part of our ego? Just curious.

Somehow I would suspect that might be a powerful image for you. You seem me to have such a thirst for cutting through the BS and getting to the truth of matters.

Good luck!

Thanks man.

Mine's a female sea otter who was gifted with the ability to turn temporarily human. She told bedtime stories to the kids when they were young.

I guess it would depend on how you define it.

I ve never really felt I understood the usage of the term outside of "pride" or when on meditation subjects "the little voice that alksin your head" so I dont use the word.

I would think for an alter ego in the common sense of the usage it should be a "mask" that comes off and off, not some attribute/s that is almost always on.

Different enough from your usual self so people would be a tad surprised of "not knowing that side of you" sort to speak.

Guilty as charged. Far too often I find myself surrounded by whole spheres of BS that poison the vital flow of things I care.

I suppose that makes such an image natural for me indeed.

Thanks for noticing!

My alter ego is this nutty tiger who bounces on people.

That's so whimsical that I love it! You can imagine great children's books coming from that.
