Agreed on the not exploding thing. Dying's a bitch, though that at least would be fast. Messy and freaky as hell, but fast. There's advantages to fast.

Personally, though, I'm not good at the whole hero thing. I can't sit idly by if someone's in trouble. That'd be monstrous, but at the same time I have trouble understanding helping a world I don't even know exists for sure. It's... too distant to understand properly, if that makes sense. Sounds great in theory, but I don't work in theory too much.
