Simon and Garfunkle
I Am a Rock (power song)
A winters day
In a deep and dark december;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Ive built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
Its laughter and its loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Dont talk of love,
But Ive heard the words before;
Its sleeping in my memory.
I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

I was thinking that this would transform Doug into stone (sorta like Colossus from the X-Men). Will this would make him stronger and a lot tougher, the greatly increased mass would also slow him down a fair bit and cut down on the acrobatics.
Also, Doug would be somewhat emotionally detached/isolated in stone form, sort of like a Vulcan, the emotions are there, but surpressed and they wouldn't have as strong an impact on him.
Of course when the song ends that can result in some rapid mood swings as he recovers his emotional balance.__________________
