Yeah, but what if the bad guys have The One Ring on their side -- er, I 
mean, finger? The true heirs (TM) of Sauron won't be as obvious as He 
was. Only if you make them laugh you'll be able to tell, as they won't 
be able to contain themselves and their laughter will turn sinister ... 
"bwoo-ha-ha-haaaahhh ... power ... more power ... absolute ... kill ... 
destroy ... chaos ... ultimate ... darkness..." Uh-oh!

How about The Thing? Unsophisticated, raw strength. Now *that's* what I 
call a superpower.
