This is so you can discuss Skullduggery Pleasant. Which powers are the best, and why? Feel free to change your mind and try to persuade others.

i say Necromancer, for sheer ' cool factor'.

Adept all the way, you can do almost anything with it.

I chose other: The Grotesquery's powers. I think that's what you call 'power of the Faceless Ones'.  :D

Well, really? God powers? Of course they're better. But unfair.

Fair enough...

(BTW, I've actually spoken with Derek Landy when hewas doing a book signing. And, like, not just a 'hi'. It turns out he didn't plan on Skulduggery's head to be important and he got the idea of true names from ancient times. I think he said it was from Gaelik times but I'm not sure.)

It was fairly obvious that he hadn't planned to make the head significant (At least, to me) by the rather clumsy way he re-introduced it: 'He had filled in the gaps later'. I mean, if it had been his original intention, he would have had Skullduggery actually 'fill in the blanks' throughout the books.
