His powers come in 3 packages, which would you choose and why?

1. Superstrength, super stamina and invulnerability

2. Superspeed and flight (and ability to breathe in outerspace)

3. Super senses and super intelligence, heat vision, and freeze breath

#3

Makes it possible to nearly replicate the others and allows preparation for virtually anything.

If you choose one, do you get invulnerability, at least with respect to that?

I mean, if you're firing heat vision as hot as the sun without invulnerability...well, you wouldn't last long.

If you were moving at C, and didn't have invulnerability, well...likewise.

I knew someone was going to bring this up.

No, you do not get invulnerability with the other choices...however, for the sake of this hypothetical situation, you are unaffected when using those powers (ie you can blast heat vision without melting your own face, and you can fly super fast without being killed)

Super-speed/flight would be the most practical for me in the 'real-world', so that would be my pick.

he has super intelligence in the sense that he has a super memory and he can process thoughts very fast. his other powers overshadow his intellect, but he's pretty damn smart in his own right.

Thats what I meant by 'at least with respect to that.'

Being invulnerable to your own choice - so that if you use your freeze breath, you aren't also frozen to absolute zero. Or by using heat vision, you don't melt your face off.

I'd either pick the intelligence or the speed, in that case.

Assuming, of course, that with the speed, you get the reflexes/processing speed.

The power-sets appeal to all sides of my personality.

If I were to go on a power-trip and decide that Vengeance was on the menu I'd pic 3. Destroying anyone and thing in my path to get what I want. Namely the deaths of the people whom pis me off.

2 would be for the more punctual me, I'm lazy but always arrive to work early (Odd paradox eh ?) with Superspeed I could laze around until a few minute 'till work.

1 is mostly for my Paranoia and Hyperchondria , why fear disease when your invulnerable and who can hurt you when you can crush them like a can ?

Why do you need to work if you've got super-speed?

Steal shit.

with all 3 powers, one can achieve wealth, fame and power...so it's a bit hard to choose

Probably 3 due to the novelty of being able to freeze things and make them burn and also being the smartest man on the planet but for sheer fun it would have to be super speed and flight. **** it just give me them all and no one gets hurt.

Eh, we all know you're choosing that package for the heat vision.

Anyone that chooses the package with Super Senses will sorely regret it for quite a while.

Superman's sense of smell is strong enough to smell drugs in someone's blood stream. His hearing is sensitive enough to hear something from across the globe.

You'd hear and smell everything on earth. Simultaneously. Constantly.

Number one . Your more or less Juggernaut without the size problem.

Your know something, now that I think about. Why hasn't Superman killed someone in his sleep. Imagine having a bad dream (like all of us have) and you kick or punch on reflex. Theres no control.

I imagine it's the same reason he doesn't rip lois in half when they sleep together, or the reason blackbolt doesn't snore.

Insane levels of control via lifelong practice.

Practice and control you WOULDN'T have, hence the problem I noted with the super senses.

http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/2000/1807/139250-superman_400.jpg For me, it would be a choice between 1 & 2. I mean with superstrength it would be so cool to lift a car or more with one hand. With flight it would be great to fly to work and not waste gas money.

1. No chance of an accidental death ever.

You would NEED invulnerability with number two if we are assuming that you can breath in space because of all ther other factors for which a normal human would die without a space suit.

Man I would want that heat vision and freeze breath, but the super senses would kills me unless I had actual control over them.

Number 2 I guess. Much more practical for fights (superspeed punches are cooler than a super strength punch where you accidently kill the person...if you actually get into a fight), and of course transportation. Plus its just freaking cool to fly, I could finally get over my fear of heights...it all stems from having no control at certain heights.

I'm not talking about speed though. I'm talking about chilling space like the pressure isn't going to make you pop. So therefore you would need invulnerability even in a state of "rest." See the difference?

Yup, I was responding to the supersenses problem and didn't really read the first bit.

1.

With Super Strength, you pretty much get super speed as well. If my legs are strong enough to kick a tank across New York, I imagine wouldn't be a problem to run 200+ miles an hour.

...and not to mention being able to jump practically anywhere within a 50 mile radius you wanted.

Because not only do you get his strength and invulnerability you also get his Stamina.

What use is there to being able to run really fast if you get tired like a normal human.

Plus you wouldn't have to be worried about being killed in your sleep and with that kind of strength what do you have to worry about.

I'd choose 1 As another poster said, it comes with superspeed and Superjumps, no one could hurt you at all, I'm assuming you are truly invulnerable. I would just thunderclap a lot, you better hope to GOD I don't see a good movie when you're in the theater with me.LOL

Wouldn't powerset 1, include superbreath and super-senses, since Superstrength makes all your muscles pretty strong, even your eye muscles.

I did not see it anywhere that this was set in the real world, if that is the case then we have a problem. That doesnt change the fcat that if you keep damaging things they will try to stop you. Im pretty sure they could find some sneaky way of getting your DNA and find your weakness, but that depends on what power you have. If you have super sense its would be very hard for them to suprise you, but I guess they could wait until you sleep.

Originally posted by masterbruce

But if you're invulnerable, how is that possible?


Not to get all technical, but to be all technical:

Its assumed that we are given a choice of 1, 2, 3; we are invulnerable to their effects (we won't suffer any more or less damage if we bite our tongue as we would without super-strength, our skin won't rip off running at mach-speeds, we won't melt ourselves w/ Heat Vision, etc)

But we have no experience with our powers, as Supes has since birth, correct?

In which case I'd take #2 & go off to practice using my powers in an open abandoned place until I'm capable of using them around people without accidentally hurting them...I guess you could do the same with any of them, but flying/speed would seem like the easiest to get a grip on & I'd want to use my powers ASAP LoL

#1, wtf would the gov do? send tanks at me?

#2 Superspeed.

That would give invisbility as a side effect when moving fast!

Something is illegal when you violate the rules. If there is no rule preventing superhuman people from playing thhen it cant be illegal. Its not like you took performance enhancing drugs.

Definitely 3.

Super Intelligence would be cool, sure, but I like the versatility of having heat vision and freeze breath as superpowers would give you. Provided you have the level of control Superman has with all 4 of these powers, this package would rule.

It would be great be able to manipulate your environment however discretely or indiscreetly you wanted. With the heat vision, you could zap a fly a football field away (with the eyesight given by super senses), or if you felt like being reckless, slice a skyscraper in half. Mess up and draw the unwanted attention of the government or public? Use your super intelligence to get out of it.

So many possibilities with this package, and (providing you get Superman's control as well) all the advantages of being a human.

You just get the powers. There part of who you are and you'd still technically be human. Until new rules were passed that said people who are, let's invent a new PC term, "extreme physical outliers" could not compete nothing would prevent you from legal playing as long as you don't use powers in ways that break the rules (ie melting a player's shoes into the pavement, building an ice bride to go over the defense in hockey or whatever)

If I recall correctly, most sports have a cover-all rule on the books about getting or maintaining an unfair advantage over other players, in order to circumvent loopholes.

Superman has a healing factor, though I believe it stems more from direct sunlight absorption than from super speed. He has also never been depicted as requiring mass amounts of food - in fact, I believe he is capable of sustaining himself on sunlight alone.

His powers come in 3 packages, which would you choose and why?

1. Superstrength, super stamina and invulnerability

2. Superspeed and flight (and ability to breathe in outerspace)

3. Super senses and super intelligence, heat vision, and freeze breath
