Take your best shot Mentallium Man!

OK, as we're having a few threads at the mo on the nature of not being too keen, for a variety of reasons, on the way things are, something a little different and inspired by Flex Mentallo.

The Mentallium Man has several different heads with which to attack, Shocking Pink, Silver, Black, and Lamb and Turkey Mentallium, but the weirdest was Ultra-Violet Mentallium.
"The strangest of all mystery minerals, UVM had the power to turn me into anyone, complete with a whole life and memories. I could become a child in school in India, a soldier on parade, a woman reporter on a busy metropolitan newspaper, a criminal or a judge."

So, if you were shot with the rays of Ultra-Violet Mentallium, who would you become? How similar would you like to be to who you are now? Would you like to be someone who perhaps has a completely different set of moral principles to how you are now?

A couple of rules;
1) You can't just be you but different geographically, or more successful or with smaller buttocks.
2) You can't be anyone famous. Time-travel is okay, but you don't get to be Joan of Arc or Jesus.
3) Anything physically impossible is out as well, so no centaurs or three-armed men please. Stuff which is merely biologically improbable, like fully-functioning hermaphrodites... well we'll see.

Anyone want to play?

i'd be a child in a school anywhere in the world where they have enough schooling to actually get an education. true enlightenment surely cant be far behind on your second shot at childhood, in a world you already understand as an adult...as much as i can.

but you lose your memory, if i remember flex.
and he only comes back because he's a hero, and has all that mental muscle...so maybe id come back as someone very shortly to become the richest being on the planet, and equipped with the mental structures to realise how best to deal with it all. and by deal with it, i mean use it to create a powerbase for good.
and by good, i mean in the commie pinko sense that i currently believe in, and not any other. and drugs, lots of drugs. drugs for all, and all for drugs. or something.

I would be someone with enough clout that I could have all pensioners issued with free recreational drugs, especially ganga, as and when they wanted them (subject to appropriate and sympathetic medical supervision, natch).

I would be an administrative assistant for the FBI, writing up requisitions for things like microphones and case files. I would smoke, but no more than half a pack a day. I would read thick paperback novels with lurid covers, and my kisses would taste vaguely of frustrated desire and old lipstick.
