Use of power.

[Silicon Surfer]

That would seem rather pointless. I mean, all animals think about is eating and f**king.

That's about 90% of what humans think and talk about. That should mean that animals would and probably do understand about 90% of human conversation.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, but theres always that 10 percent. Animals don't think about f**king their dead.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

I wouldnt be evil.

you know not to get all philosophical cause i usually just come here to BS and talk about comics. you do know that alot of people through out history who were evil never really thought they were evil and doing anything wrong right?

Hahaha but i aint mad atcha i can just see me joining "the Champions" ( one of my fav teams ever) to stop you Dark Vanguardsied ( starts to sing we aree the Championnnnnnsss my friends) hehe

 

[Vanguard07]

Moving mountains into the Gulf of Mexico could wreak havoc with the delicate weather systems in the region. Not paying attention to property and traffic laws could cause accidents or rob people of their livelihood, not to mention life and limb. Every action on that scale has serious consequences.

Yeah but the environment would get over it and so would mankind. Also on the plus side Earth'd get a "party island" out of it.
and i'd more than make up for it in the long run with all the ways i'd help people.

I still hold to my belief that illegal and evil are vastly different animals.
and the way I look at it, if you're above the laws of physics (which most superheroes clearly are), how could you not be above the laws of man?

 

[SuperFerret]

I wouldn't put myself above the law, simply because I wouldn't want to leave society. I have some friends there.

 

[Vanguard07]

You could keep em. I figure your very existence would eventually vastly change the religious structure of mankind. If you're doing good things then it'd change it in your favor.

It might be rocky early on but it'd balance out and you could have friends again after a while without having to worry about those pesky annoying soldiers and all their sound and fury signifying nothing.
In fact, you'd no doubt have far more friends in the end than you did beforehand.

 

[SuperFerret]

I'd be very low key if I had superpowers, I wouldn't involve myself with politics, government or human development at all.

 

[Vanguard07]

Well I wouldnt want to be in charge of anything. I dont want people depending on me. I'd just be living my life.

The benefits to mankind would be the results of my own selfish enjoyment of accomplishment. And a hard day's work for you if you're that powerful would have to be something large scale. It'd also be damn fun. "look at me b****es I'm carrying a mountain! Stand and be in Awe! I'm magnificent!"

 

[SuperFerret]

If I had superpowers, I wouldn't work hard at all. Unless the world was ending or something.

 

[Mutagen]

I'd feel bad for everyone that didn't have what I have, so I'd try to make people feel better. Unless they hurt someone I care about, then, expect no sympathy.

 

[Vanguard07]

I'd feel bad for everyone that didn't have what I have, so I'd try to make people feel better. Unless they hurt someone I care about, then, expect no sympathy.

I agree with you on the vengeance part but as for trying to make people feel better? I personally believe that other people's lives are their business. You are responsible for your happiness and yours alone.

I'd help people because it'd be the only work you could do that has actual all around and lasting benefits and thus is the only work worth doing.

Being lazy is only satisfying for short periods at a time and then just leads to boredom. Boredom is and always will be my greatest enemy. I will eventually smite it.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Okay... just remembered a power I always wish I could have. The ability to remember and recall things as desired (and by recall I mean play feedback or show video). No, I wouldn't use this for detective things and such, I'd do it for laughs. I always find myself in situations or hear people say things that make me think 'Man, if I could have just recorded that, it'd be great out of contest.

For example.. a guy named Jake at work. 50 something overweight bald man. Kind as can be and everyone's teddy bear best friend. Straight grandfather and comic guru. Looks kinda like Dan Slott. We had a conversation and this was sad and taken in a serious manor.

"Yeah, I thought about buying myself some panties, but I couldn't find the colors I like so I said the heck with it."

As you can imagine, this sounds rather odd out of context. In reality Jake's a big fan of roller durby or something like that. The shoulder pads the women wear with their team colors, numbers, etc. are called panties. So it's the equivlant of buying your favorate team's jersey.

Funny stuff.

 

[Vanguard07]

How about Prodigy from the young X-men's powers (before M-day).
Having all the knowledge and skills of everyone you ever meet would be incredibly useful. If you include a perfect memory, you'd pretty much rule the world.

 

[JewishHobbit]

It'd have to have selective memory. Remember only what you want to. It has it's goods with its bads. You can be around all your hot female friends' boyfriends and know exactly what it would be like to have sex with them (and even remember it and know what they look like naked). Then again.. it works both wasy and you remember all your guy friends' sexual encounters and what they look like naked. And you can picture them masterbating! And you can now picture and remember sex between old people!

I'm not a horndog or a sex crazed fiend... but we have to consider all options here.

 

[yenaled]

I remember this dude that was in this Legion of Superheros arc who had the remarkable ability to simply not be there. People don't seem to notice him unless he wanted them to. That guy had managed to turn the galaxy on it's ear with that power. I'd simply use it to stay in fancy hotels and never have to pay for anything ever again. Like, sit in a fancy restaurant, order up a ton of food, then get up and leave and it's like nobody even remembered that I was there, or what I looked like at all. But then again, you could do far more with the ability to simply stop time.

The Praetor he was a great villain.

I've always wanted time manipulation, shapeshifting or superspeed.

Shapeshifting would be damn cool (in a Mystique way rather than a Plastic Man way).

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, changing color's a deal-breaker for shapeshifting. Gotta have that; otherwise what's the point?

 

[kane9321]

I'd have "the power of suggestion"...ya know, make people do whatever the hell i want,awesome

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ah, a rapist's go-to power.

 

[moraldeficiency]

If I had any power I'd clearly be a villian. If I could choose, multiple man's power was always my favorite. You've got the angstrom levy smartest person on the planet in ten days thing which would rock, plus give me an army of me and what how quickly I take over this planet and make it into something out of the wild west but with lasers; country and pop music would be outlawed; hollywood would be forced to put all oscar winners into hardcore porn before they could work again; all political debates would be settled on live tv with a game of russian roulette and there'd be new episodes of arrested development. It would rock.

 

[Mr. Green]

I'd be a villain too in that I would steal things and abuse my power. I wouldn't kill anyone though so if Spidey tried giving me crap for robbing a bank I would break his legs. Why the hell should he even care?

Ah, a rapist's go-to power.

It's not rape if they think it's voluntary.

 

[moraldeficiency]

It's not rape if they think it's voluntary.

or if they aren't conscious?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd be a villain too in that I would steal things and abuse my power. I wouldn't kill anyone though so if Spidey tried giving me crap for robbing a bank I would break his legs. Why the hell should he even care?

Maybe it's the bank May uses.

 

[Mr. Green]

or if they aren't conscious?

As far as I'm concerned, it's not rape until some ribs are broken.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Man! i see i would be running circles around alot of you guys and slinging your butts into walls.HAHAHAHAH
i guess it's true instead of "with great power comes great responsibility" it's
"absolute power corrupts absolutely"...I better get my tracks shoes on

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You and I'll take 'em, BV.
