Ryan's Sci-Fi Meme

I've never made my own meme before so this might suck. Basically I'm going to create a list of stuff and apply my own choices which are sci-fi related. :) I'll try to be inventive.

If you were going to be the villain in a sci-fi movie, which movie would it be?

Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back because he makes Luke look like a pansy, and he beats the crap out of the good guys.

How about sci-fi hero?

Corbin Dallas from 5th Element because he knows how to kick ass, and he's got a soft spot for Milla.

Weapon of choice?

A lightsaber, obviously!

Woman/Man of choice? (To hook up with etc.):

Milla Jovovich in the 5th Element.

Setting of choice:

Steampunk! :)

Special Power of Choice (if you had to have one):

Negation of other people's special powers. Like the Haitian in Heroes (probably the only character on that show who isn't completely useless and annoying).

Mode of Transportation:

Some sort of hover-device like the silver surfer's board, or the Goblin's hoverboard, which would be a smaller part of a one-man spaceship (two would be cozy though =D).

How would you die? (If you had to die.):

In the arms of Milla! I suppose I'd prefer something quick and painless like decapitation, but perhaps that left my body in one piece, or maybe obliterated. It would need to be the result of fighting against my arch-nemesis though.

Okay that's all I can think of for now. Now hit reply, delete my answers and fill in your own! DO IT!

I don't generally consider myself to be villainous, so the only way I could see myself being a villain is if I was, for lack of a better term, an anti-villain.  A friend describes this concept thusly: "Basically the opposite of an anti-hero. While the anti-hero often fights on the protagonist's team, but with selfish motives, the anti-villain plays a villain's game, but for what's at least in his eyes a noble cause."  So that leaves people like Magneto (does Xmen count as SF?) or The Operative from Serentity.

How about sci-fi hero?

Ah, that's probably a tougher choice.  I guess I'm more of a loner... though I think I'd do fine as part of some sort of crew.  If I could choose a book character, I'd definitely be one of the Waterhouse family folks from Cryptonomicon or The Baroque Trilogy (if I had to choose one, it would probably be Randy Waterhouse...)  Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time thinking of a character from a movie that is roughly similar to the Waterhouses...

Weapon of choice?

A lightsaber, obviously! (Don't see the need to change this:p).

Woman/Man of choice? (To hook up with etc.):

Another difficult one.  I'll go with Kaylee from Serenity...

Setting of choice:

Probably Star Trek.  Not my favorite movies, but if I'm going to live somewhere, why not choose something that is practically a utopia.

Special Power of Choice (if you had to have one):

I'd want some sort of super brain power, including stuff like telekinesis and, uh, I dunno, super-smarts.   Perhaps not as extensive as Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen, but maybe more knowledgeable.

Mode of Transportation:

Some form of spacecraft.  Perhaps a Star Destroyer (though a star destroyer not controlled by evil empires:p)

How would you die? (If you had to die.):

No dying for me!  Because of my super braniac powers, I expect to be able to figure out how to embed my intelligence/being/soul into the fabric of existance (perhaps with an intermediate step of embedding myself into sufficiently advanced technology), effectively becoming immortal!  Of course, who the hell knows what the subjective experience of transferring consciousness is like, so perhaps that would be like dying...
