Alternate Halloween costumes for the xman

He can dress as Alex Mann, the greatest hero of them all. :lol:
He gets the AMP (amplified mathematical probability) factor and sense for acrobatic abilities, though not the actual acrobatic body, as a result.
For those not familiar with the cartoon, as soon as he makes his mantra/catchphrase and his adrenaline is running hard, the AMP factor basically temporarily stops time for the user, allowing them to observe the entire environment around them (even behind them, I think), and focus on the probability of using anything in the environment to succeed at some action that should normally be so improbable as to be considered impossible, simply by chaining all those things he finds himself using to increase the probability of success. Time resumes, and bam, the impossible somehow becomes possible.
As long as he doesn't have to say the catchphrase, everything's awesome. As an fyi, the line: "check it out, dial it in, amp it up."
*wonders if anyone actually has seen/knows anything about that cartoon*
Also, another option: He dresses as Justin Steele, and convinces his redheaded friend Willow to dress up as Jennifer Steele. Or as both are also known, Prince Lightstar and Talyn, leaders of the Legion of Light. And Buffy gets to be...Grimskull! :rofl:

Not really sure this belongs here but I'm gonna ask anyway.I was looking through the halloween fics on a couple sites when a question popped into my head.If Xander dressed a a cleric or paladin from any of the many RPG's out there would that require the spell to create a god to power his abilities ? If so what would this do to Janus as he's powering the spell.
Given the right stimulus, I'm sure Xander could be quite the little sadist. It'd have to be pretty hardcore situation, yes, but if he got his hands on, say Post-S6 Spike... I could see him going postal.
I'm not sure, though, that I'd call Gin a sadist. It's more the case that he likes to mindfuck, and cares not who exactly he damages. Rukia, Hitsugaya, Hinamori, Kira - he just don't care, ya'll. ^_^

I just had a thought pop into my head. The main problem with Halloween fics, is that most don't give good reason for the changes to remain. There is one character where that wouldn't really apply though. Xander (or Willow for hilarity) dresses as Rincewind from Discworld.
Rincewind's spell does have a life of its own, and I can't see it leaving once it is in the affected Scooby's head. If Willow, we get amusement and many changes to the story as she can't learn other magic.
But for the more immediate kick to the status quo's balls, they had the Luggage as part of the costume. Once one of those is there and identifying them as its Master, its not going away. And its incredible homicidal nature would bring the lulz.

Anyone here play the X-COM games? Imagine Xander going as an X-COM mad scientist. He can reverse engineer any thing he can study, and then he can improve it. Giles has all those books on magic...
Xander dresses as an influential leader of a bunch of (hidden) ninja's who died a few years ago, that he heard about from some Vamps chatting about it. He does some research, and realizes that he actually has an orange jacket and pants... not hard to get a fake knife and make a forehead protector. Thus, he dresses up as Naruto, complete with seal. When the night ends, the seal and the Fox vanish, but the large amount of chakra Naruto was using at the moment the spell fails doesn't... leaving a normal human with a bunch of demon chakra tearing at his system. Que tortured screaming and a coma.
A day/week/month later, Xander wakes up as a slightly larger than normal fox, with a strange ability to manipulate energy, nine tails, and maybe the ability to speak. He keeps his wit and other stuff, but also the Fox's rage. After all, with Naruto's death, one of the nine Bijuu is gone, and balance must be maintained.
I'm thinking that he wouldn't be god-mode immediately... he'd have no clue how to use his abilities, or even how to walk around. By the time Glory, or maybe the First, comes around, he's at about the level to start challenging the Black Thorn...
And maybe having the key become a Fox, little sister to Xander and pet/companion to Buffy...
