Ask Detroit Lions guard Laken Tomlinson what his most desired super power is and he doesn't hesitate to reference a Marvel Comics character that would theoretically dominate the gridiron.

"I wish I was Hulk so I could block even better," Tomlinson told the Lions' official website.

Tomlinson, a first-round rookie, answered a handful of personal questions so the fans could get to know him a little better. For those who didn't already know, the guard revealed his nickname, "Juggernaut," and the fact that he double majored in psychology and evolutionary anthropology while at Duke.

Tomlinson even threw a jab at teammate Eric Ebron. He told DetroitLions.com that his favorite football moment was beating Ebron's North Carolina squad his sophomore and junior years in the annual battle for the Victory Bell. Before winning back-to-back meetings in 2012 and 2013, Duke had only beat UNC once in the previous 22 seasons.
