Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.

I've always found the responses to these topics interesting, so here we go again:

For this thread, you get to choose one aspect of a super powered characters abilities, not the entire powerset, for use in our current real world. You will have full use of the powers, but you will be confined to real world applications of said powers and your own personal knowledge and creativity. The powers are:

Green Lantern's Energy Constructs (none of the other powers of the ring save for creating objects).

Firestorm's Matter Manipulation (No flight, etc., just matter manip).

Silver Surfer's silver glaze and flight (no matter manipulation or energy control, just the ability to travel as quickly as Surfer and live in space without issue)

Superman's invulnerability and strength (no super senses, speed, etc., just invulnerability and strength fed by sunlight).

Apocalypse's shapeshifting/molecular control (no external energy/matter manipulation, telepethy, telekinesis, teleportation, etc., just his ability to shift into any organic or mechanical configuration he wishes and regenerate his form).

Martian Manhunter's telepathy.

Northstar's superspeed.

Hank Henshaw's technopathy.

Longshot's probability control.

Flash's motion control (no super speed or fast metabolism for yourself, but the ability to slow down/speed up the world around you, for example, you could slow down a bullet in flight in order to dodge it, but if you fell down a flight of steps you couldn't slow the momentum of your own fall).

Iceman's temperature/atomic spin control (no ice/moisture form, etc, just the ability to generate cold and stop the spin of atoms to "freeze" them).

Dr. Light's control of "light" (EM Spectrum Control, but no living light form)

Hulk's Anger Based Strength and Durability.

Animalman's animal mimicry.

Terrax's geokinesis.

Photon's cosmic awareness.

Shadowcat's phasing.

Which power would you choose to use in our real world, and why? Discuss.

I go with Firestorm....imagine that...

Firestorm

I'd probably go with Photon's cosmic awareness.

Firestorm or GL

Apocalypse.

Superman's easiest to use and nothing on the planet i would have to worry about.

I would go with either Firestorm's matter manip or Henshaw's technopathy.

I got C's in probably every chemistry class I've ever had, so Firestorm's abilities would be virtually useless to me.

Practical applications in a real-life setting...I'd go with Photon's Cosmic Awareness. Could rack up the $ by gambling and using CA, playing the lottery, the stock market....massive amounts of cash pouring in. And hey, money buys power, too.

Normal life will sure be different. Imagine having to explain to your friends that you were laughing so loud because you will see something really funny on the show you watch later that night.

I would have no friends. Only $12,000 escorts.

With longshot's power, whether you reshape the world or just drown in hedonism is all just a matter of time. It would be faster if the power comes without its limitations though. does it?

Touche

with any of the powers, you could easily become a multimillionaire...so I don't think money should be a factor in choosing the best power

Yes, the Hulk's strength and durability increase when you're angry is going to help you become a multi-millionare. Until you wreck your million dollar mansion and have to pay for the repairs, that is.

It's limited in scope just as Longshot's powers are. You couldn't actively effect all probabilities in a Scarlet Witch manner, but you could, say, make a killing in Las Vegas when shooting craps, have very good luck with women, be in the military and always seem to escape death, have ATMs malfunction and give you hundreds of dollars, pull a bank robbery at the same time as a tanker explosion and blackout that distracts the attention of the authorities, etc.

Originally posted by Mshinu

You get his regeneration which is part of his molecular manipulation, so in a way, yes, you'd be immortal assuming you weren't absent minded and did something that could kill you if you weren't using your powers (like, for example, drowning because you didn't think to morph an oxygen supply, gills, or some other means of survival underwater, or burning to death because you didn't morph your body into something that wouldn't burn).

Oh then we're good, I'd take that power. longshot has some other issues, he can't use his powers in selfish or 'negative' ways, they backfire on him.

What about natural aging?

You'd naturally age, but you could just alter your appearance to warden off the visible effects, plus you have regeneration.

That's fine. I'll practice very hard.

Yep, but doing if forever is better

Apoc`s shapeshift/regen/immortality power ftw.

Photon`s Cosmic awareness 2nd

MM`s Telepathy 3rd

BTW. Does Firestorm's matter manipulation include the ability to transmutate, i.e. Lead to gold etc?

MM`s Telepathy 3rd I personally would hate being immortal if I can't share that ability with my friends and family the gift would soon become a curse.

Firelord or GL

most likely firelord cause my knowledge about chemistry is pretty good and I could transmute geat amounts of sand into nutrient for the 3rd world, make myself rich by transmuting anything into gold or diamonds or turn large amaunts of CO2 back into coal/oil to keep the circle going.

I have a question to the GL ring, the ring is said to do the thinking for the holder. I mean if I theoraticly imagine a particle accelerator I don't have to know how the whole thing works I just wanna have it and the ring does the rest would that rule apply here too? And I guess the ring can only create "real life" machines/constructs so I can't just imagine a machine that would turn sand or stones into nutrient like I could do it with the matter manip powers right?

You get any matter manip applications that Firestorm has shown able to do on panel, assuming that you yourself know the mechanisms necessary to perform the feat.

You only get the ability to create constructs, so the ring's AI won't be helping you and it falls on your own imagination. You can create machinery that you can picture in your mind, and it will work assuming you know the schematics, or you can create inanimate objects or animal/people constructs. It's all based on your own knowledge.

Shadowcat.

I would chose Shaman Nate powers with the mind of the mad titan...

Northstar's speed for me. GL constructs would be neat also but eh

I gotta go with the martian manhunters telepathy
for the most fun while I'm alive... Cause shitttttt I could screw with peoples heads... Even the superman levels...$12000 concubines? I get mine free...

And was apoc a super aged guy when his suit was stripped from him during the twelve... Can you imagine having that shriveled body for eternity? (I honestly thought he switched bodies with other people or something...

But superman would be my second choice... In the end he be the longest lived... You just have to worry about scientists wanting to dissect u... And being only strong and durable... Possibly getting captured and tortured for all time

in a real-world setting, Henshaw or Martian Manhunter or longshot would enable me to accumulate the most coin.

Apoc/shadowcat would be the playboy/voyeur dream scenario.

The other powers have the real-world potential of turning you into a Dr. Manhattan in the sense that you'd be sequestered to a special living "facility" by the government, used as their pawn/implied threat in international politics, etc.

Surfer might be appealing but you'd have to be a real loner to take his power. I would love to see what natural wonders the universe has to offer but it would be on my own...and I'd likely see things that are beyond the human mind's ability to comprehend...not sure if that's something i'd want to experience.

I'd take Superman, even without his energy projection powers and flight/speed, he still has super jumps. And on top of his strength, he has the bio-kinetic aura. Which, if trained properly can become a crude version of Superboy's Tactile Telekinesis. I'd probably do something useful that pays well like Black Ops.

Black Ops does not pay well. And they get lousy benefits after getting out of the service, too, because all their missions and shit were likely blacklisted.

People don't do Spec/Black Ops for the money, its more for the thrill believe it or not. However, they do get paid alot more than the average soldier, I guess it depends on your definition of "paid well".

In the real world, if no one else had powers, I would pick Martian Manhunter's telepathy, the world would be mine for the taking, unless I died prematurely, that would suck.

If in a comic book world, I would pick Superman's strength and invulnerability just because chances of being killed are so much higher.

Based upon the people i know.. they retire early.. like 45... but have a kick ass retirement plan that sets them for life... but the pay isn't even in the triple digits...

True, but Spec Ops would be a blast if you knew there wasn't a constant chance of death. So would being a hitman/assassin, now that pays really good money.

Cyborg, so I can take over the internet

Superman's invulnerability and strength: Is the easiest to use, this is is tied for first.

Martian Manhunter's telepathy: I can so fck with people and tied for first.

Shadowcat's phasing: is nice and is second.

Green Lantern's Energy Constructs: are cool and third place for me.

Hank Henshaw's technopathy: is not bad because there is a lot of tech around and is fourth.

The others I dont care about.

apocalypse is the best of all worlds here. minus the telepathic power, matter manipulation, and a few others, he can simulate everything else with creativity.

id take the technopathy, what on earth ISNT controlled by computer these days, military/money/recreational gambling, id prolly use the powers once as soon as i got them, (trasfer hugh amounts of cash from atms all around the city and simultaniously erase all cctv footage) Then chill.

The technopathy would be awesome... And is now moves to first on the list for me...ties with telepathy

driving home I hit every god damn red light possible. Technopathy: all green...
Cops with radar detectors.. I was going speed limit!
And those Vegas slot machines are mine! ATMs would be like free money... I'd screw with the dow and NASDAQ...

If you had Supes powers, you could just wait till 3 am, then rip the ATM off the hinges, rip it open and take all the cash.

I think I'm the only one who didn't make a choice mainly based on power, money, or women.

Nah. While all those things make fine secondary objectives, cosmic awareness would take experiencing life to a whole new level. Granted, I would probably also go insane, but what a ride it would be. I would amass so much knowledge.

technopathy..control over machine is awesome compare to the other..

you could pull some metal gear solid shit and take the planet hostage via control of all the nuclear arsenals of the planet, modes of transportation, telecommunications, etc.

Nah, those are only bonuses. I`d go with Apoc for immortality and eternity to do whatever I want, power and money are easily obtainable means to an end then. Debauchery is good but there are certainly other experiences to be had and fields to master.

Apocalypse for sure. I'm sure given millenia of trial and error I could grow an organ that allows some degree of telepathy.

Black ops is for war junkies and fanatics. with superman's power all you have to do is play it low and become the world's richest athlete ever.

Not too sure about that.

I interpreted the op as just having his powers with no explaination, not a kriptonyan biology. obviously if you had unbreakable skin the needles would not go in and invulnerabilty would be a draw back here, exposing you as a freak of nature here. So having the strengh alone would be more effective in this case (can sm will the force field to sopt working?) but with sm' powers being what they are and largely emanating from that aura like forcefield, real world tech might not even pick up on anything abnormal. Kryptonians are remarkbly like humans in more ways than not.

Yup, but i was thinking about the needle.

Green Lantern's Energy Constructs (none of the other powers of the ring save for creating objects)

because with it I could make anything I needed to do my buisness. such as make a bull dozer to do construction work (so I would get all the contracts my self ), make a flying car, horse, shoes, suit, ect to travel aroung from place to place, make my cloths out of hte stuff so i wouldn't have to worry about attacks ... and so many more things that I am too lazy to mention right now .

You need to know exactly how the stuff works that you want to do, I asked on 1 of those pages and Ill specified it.

Not to mention that Ollie could barely manifest enough will power to form an arrow with the power ring and Batman strained to make an image of his parents with the ring. I'd rank both of those guys as having much stronger willpower than me, so I honestly don't know how effective I could wield a GL ring under these circumstances.

They struggle because their willpower is cynical, not because they have less willpower than GLs.

both of them have reasons they couldn't effectively wield the ring, though, if Johns' explanations are to be believed. Shouldn't impact you.


As far as the thread itself?

Energy Constructs don't seem that applicable to me, so no interest there.

Firestorm's powers? God no. I don't want to wake up one morning and realise that i dreamt about turning my house in to salt, or something.

Surfer's board and skin? No thanks. I like having genitalia.

Superman's strength and durability? No thanks. I like being able to USE my genitalia.

Apocalypse's powers? Maybe. As long as i can keep myself looking youthful.

Telepathy? Sure, though the moral implications aren't too nice.

Northstars speed? Useful. Definitely useful.

Henshaw? Sure.

Longshot? If it ended up like that episode of Supernatural, then definitely.

Flash? No.

Iceman? Not really. Don't see the use in it.

Doctor Light? Same as GL.

Hulk's strength and durability based on anger? No.

Animal Man's powers? Sure. Lots of cool applications.

Terrax? Nah.

Photon's CA? Sure, if i have better use of it than he does.

Shadowcat's phasing takes too much concentration imo.

All in all, i'd go with Apocalypse. A lot of potential there i think.

That's why sometimes he is shown wearing silver speedos. Since marvel doesn't have the balls to let his silvery dong hang free like manhattan's it's either the neutered man from space or the man from space who wears dorky speedos for no explicable reason. some illustrators go to lengh to avoid showing his crotch area at all

I like to think he is just covering them in that weird silver bulge because it's cold out there. My man SS is definetly a lady's man and wouldn't disappoint them.

amputees can purchase mechanical limbs that are programmed to convert nerve stimulation to robotic motion. if you extrapolate that over time you could probably get some sort of thing going there.

Ill restricted most of that stuff IIRC otherwise he could also matter manip be restructuring his molecules and then seperate the "product" from the rest of his body

For me the goal of any superpower would be to heighten life experience and quality without anything so drastic as taking over worlds, losing sanity or controlling friends. I'd just want the personal enjoyment without making enemies out of everybody for the sake of power.

To that end, I'd take take Animal Man's powers. Built for pure exhilaration, as well as limitless practical uses, and you don't have to f*ck up how you look to get it.

That is one hypothesis which is falling out of favour, but yes with his powers he could stop aging at will. I'm just going by the restrictions the dude that made the thread imposed, his world his rules.

Phuck luck? nah, it's the easiest way arround of them all

Longshot can't use his powers for selfish reasons or in 'evil' ways, if he does they backfire. But Illadelph only imposed restrictions on the range of his powers not longshot's original limitations.

Domino's powers would be better for the sake of personal use. She can use them however she please.

^ they're tied to her will though, she has to be conscious of the situation to affect it.

a car coming at her while listening to music during a snowstorm would still be hazardous to her.

Oh man Almost pissed myself lol!

I would pic apoc but I have no idea how to change my body since I have no knowledge of the molecular make up and structure of biological and mechanical stuff. But if i did I would totally do this.

Then again maybe i can recruit the aid of scientist and he tell me what I need to do and i just do it. Like pissing out the cure for AIDs or something and selling that. Or taking a dump of pure diamond or something...

CA would be nice but delph, the MM telepathy power would I be able to control minds/influence thought? Or just read minds....

A wife that doesnt ask any questions, or if i like, one that knows everything...sounds like the perfect life to me, why would i wanna be super strong/black ops killer, and be hunted/used/shot at for my doe, when i can just transfer it to my account with all the effort of a thought.lol.

I would pic apoc but I have no idea how to change my body since I have no knowledge of the molecular make up and structure of biological and mechanical stuff. But if i did I would totally do this.

Then again maybe i can recruit the aid of scientist and he tell me what I need to do and i just do it. Like pissing out the cure for AIDs or something and selling that. Or taking a dump of pure diamond or something...

CA would be nice but delph, the MM telepathy power would I be able to control minds/influence thought? Or just read minds....

it hinges on what I will choose...

You get all of Manhunter's applications of telepathy, assuming you can figure out how to use them all. You would also, however, have to learn how to filter all of the thoughts as J'onn does, which is something to take into consideration. Learning all of the nuances of the powers is part of the equation as well, and completely up to you. How would you test your telepathy? Would you read the minds of people you know? Strangers? Would you be able to handle the constant influx of other peoples' thoughts, experiences, fears?

None of the powers I chose are as cut and dry as they seem at first glance, and for a reason.

Which is why I find so many of these answers very interesting thus far.

just imagine the trivial shit you could do....

from the top of my head i came up with morphing into a professional quality film studio (inflate and morph the equipment within your hollow interior ( )) and sprout some characters from your own substance and make the most realistic movie scenes of monsters or whatever ever scene by human eyes.

why not, phuck it

technopathy. So many applications...

Well in that case Long shot luck thingie. Don't have to know or do shit and it's a pretty awesome power.

With technopathy
I go to comicvine and install viruses galore
and every time someone logs on... A malware hits em

just goofing. Some idiot was here a few days ago saying kmc sucked and comicvine roxured...

But yeah with technopathy I'd make google my *****..
