Stupid arguements lead to good characters

Recently got involved in a particularly dumb argument (about resurrecting people using the a limited healing power in M&M). I was right. [Of course you were-- ed. ]

But it turned into a fun character concept. The Living Lightning staff wasn't part of my original concept; initially it was there to fulfill the 'container requirement' on the character contest. But I like him better with the staff. It makes the whole concept more interesting and complex. And it would give a DM more ways to mix up the story.
