If Superheros Really Existed, Wouldn't The Government Go After Them

[QueerMike]

They DID exist and the government DID go after them. It happened a long time ago in a city far away.

what do you mean?

 

[rodhulk]

Yeah, what does he mean?

 

[Rocker22]

Pshh. You guys aren't in the know.

 

[QueerMike]

Rocker knows what I'm talkin' about!

 

[Rocker22]

I know what everyone is talking about.

 

[bullets]

But I tell you what, if they discovered a way to give humans superpowers, I am SO first in line for that. Even if it turned me green or made me grow wings

It could work in reverse . Some muties that were green or whatever could go in and have plastic surgery done to make them appear less freakish.

Just supposing some superhero like Spiderman or Superman or Hulk (with Hulk attempting to be a good guy with no Hulk smash everything) existed, do you think they could be immune to government attack/control like usually portrayed in the comics/movies?

My thinking is that the government would want to study these heros to understand their powers (plus, for vigilante reasons they's want them stopped) and especially in the case of Superman or Hulk, take them out because of a possible threat to mankind supposing they decided to turn bad (or perhaps were already bad but hiding it by doing good things). Because I just don't think they would be able to go about their ways without the government/military trying to get them and even destroy them.

Now, I don't think our current weapon systems could stop Supes or Hulk but if you think the government would go after Supes and Hulk, even with all their great power, do you think science would eventually find a way to defeat Supes or Hulk?

Without a doubt. That is why I would love to see in a future Batman or Superman movie a few scenes where the Government (CIA) is spying and collecting info on them including trying to find out their identity.

Don't worry guys, once I get enough money to buy the equipment I need, I'll be saving your butts every other night.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

I think this has been discussed in comic books already (Watchmen, New Frontier, Legends)

There was a top secret government experiment in the 1960's.

 

[3dman27]

for real wow

Exactly! Something called 'national security' would be a factor w/o any doubt.

It would be cool to see this happen in a batman/superman movie too, I agree with you there also.

If the government tries to come after me, I'd fight them. Go up against the system. Me against them. Kinda like Griffin in Jumper or the Brotherhood from the X-Men. It's all about survival.

 

[Lord Doom]

See, that's why, if I were a superhero, I wouldn't have a secret identity. I'd work with police and the gov, and I'd be a badass. And if any of my villains tried to go after my fam... well... They'd know better.

Anyway, I believ you'd have to register with the government to be a superhero. You'd essentially be considered a "weapon of mass destruction".

I would kill anyone else with powers. There can be only one.

Silar. Oh snap!

Yes, it was very similar to the experiments conducted in the 'Island of Dr. Moreau' movie and comics. The only difference is that this was conducted by a governmental organization, not some rogue scientist. These experiments also had the use of state of the art equipment and, unlimited funds.

Many of the experiments of Project:God involved specimens from the now infamous Area 51...

so there really was a"super soldier project "of sorts

 

[Whirlysplat]

Lol, what are we with our present tech going to do against Superman or the Hulk? This thread is flawed!

 

[Monster]

We'd be annihilated if superhuman people existed.
