My Superhero

Victoria “Neuromancer” Vaux
Powers:
1. Parietal Lobe: Ability to perceive an area with a single glance!
    The Parietal Lobe is responsible for spatial mapping, so my superhero has an extremely high-processing parietal lobe. She is able to look at a room once once and know where everything in it is located. This comes in handy for superpower number two. (Kind of like Neo from The Matrix)

2. Cerebellum: Ability to shape-shift from one area to another within an area that can be seen.
    The Cerebellum is responsible for movement. My superhero has a cerebellum that has evolved into an area that can move its own matter through the time-space continuum, although it is limited to areas that it already knows, in case it happens to move itself halfway through a wall. (Like Nightcrawler from X-Men)

3. Temporal Lobe: Ability to decode sequences in seconds flat!
    The Temporal Lobe, responsible for learning, memory, and language perception, is integral in this superpower. My superhero will have an abnormally large temporal lobe in order to be able to both quickly process and remember information related to code breakers and languages.

4. Brainstem: Ability to keep balance in even the most harrowing of winds!
    The Brain Stem, responsible for balance, is the area of the brain responsible for this superpower. My hero’s brainstem working in conjunction with the cerebellum to stay balanced and coordinated. (Especially during action sequences.)

5. Temporal Lobe: Ability to never forgive, never forget the faces of her foes!
    Since my hero already has a large temporal lobe (See #2) she will also benefit from the power to remember and recognize all of her foes’ faces, which will aide in her personal battle with evil .

6. Occipital Lobe: Ability to shoot freaking lasers out of her freaking eyeballs!
    The Occipital Lobe, which is responsible for vision, has been severely altered in my hero. It is now able to send messages to the eyes to fire lasers. Of course, the eyes themselves would also have to be altered. Otherwise they would just be incinerated, and that would be crazy talk!

7. Thalamus:: Ability to never fall asleep - as she is always conscious of the the tyranny of evil.
    The thalamus, responsible for sleep, is much smaller in my hero. Although she still sleeps, she never enters “deep sleep” because she needs to be able to sense movements around her. Instead, her thalamus turns outside stimuli into dreams, which she can then watch and monitor while sleeping.

8. Werkicke’s Area: Ability to hypnotize her victims with a murderous melody!
    The Werkicke’s Area, similar to Broca’s area but with a much cooler sounding name, is responsible for speech. My hero has trained her Werkicke’s Area to have perfect pitch to the note at which she can hypnotize her opponents.

9. Frontal Lobe: Ability to feel no emotion as she mercilessly K.O.’s Gotham’s oppressors.
    The Frontal Lobe, responsible for apathy and disinhibition, is a little bit smaller than average in my hero. She is able to turn its effects on and off so that she can kill her nemesii* without remorse.

*I know this isn’t a word, but it should be.

10. Cerebellum: Ability to have immaculate posture when dealing with diplomats from distant lands. (Appearance is everything.)
    The cerebellum, responsible for movement, is also controls posture. It is very important to have good posture when dealing foreign dignitaries like the Justice League and the Super Friends.
